Alaska, Gulf of (sh)




Gulf, southern Alaska, U.S. Situated between the Alaska Peninsula and the Alexander Archipelago, it receives the Susitna and Copper rivers.

Ports on the gulf include Anchorage, Seward, and Valdez; the last is North America's northernmost ice-free harbour and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline's terminal. Capt. James Cook, its European discoverer, entered the gulf in 1778 and proceeded as far north as Prince William Sound.
