What is Gulf of Alaska?
[[Image:Gulfofalaskamap.png|thumb|right|250px|Map showing the Gulf of Alaska]] The '''Gulf of Alaska''' is an arm of the [[Pacific Ocean]]. The borders are the southern coast of [[Alaska]], stretching from the [[Alaska Peninsula]] and [[Kodiak Island]] in the west to the [[Alexander Archipelago]] in the east, where [[Glacier Bay]] and the [[Inside Passage]] are found. The entire shoreline of the Gulf is a combination of forest, mountain, and a number of [[tidewater glacier]]s. Alaska's largest glaciers, the [[Malaspina Glacier]] and [[Bering Glacier]] go out onto the coastal plain along the Gulf of Alaska. [[Cook Inlet]] and [[Prince William Sound]] are the two largest connected bodies of water. There is also [[Yakutat Bay]] and [[Cross Sound]]. [[Lituya Bay]] is the place of the largest recorded [[tsunami]] in history. ==Other websites== {{Commons cat-inline}} * [http://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/gulfalaska.htm World Atlas] {{List of seas}} {{Regions of North America}} {{Coord|57|N|144|W|type:waterbody_scale:10000000|display=title}} {{Multistub|US-geo|Canada}} [[Category:Gulfs of North America|Alaska]] [[Category:Pacific Ocean]] [[Category:Bodies of water of the United States]] [[Category:Geography of Alaska]] [[Category:Geography of British Columbia]]
