Cape Krusenstern National Monument is a U.S. National Monument centered on Cape Krusenstern in northwestern Alaska. Founded on December 1, 1978, it is made up mainly of a coastal plain, containing large lagoons and rolling hills of limestone. The bluffs record thousands of years of change in the shorelines of the Chukchi Sea, as well as evidence of some 9,000 years of human habitation.
