Aljaski zaljev (engleski: Gulf of Alaska) je veliki zaljev na jugoistočnoj obali Aljaske, rukavac Tihog oceana.[1]

Geografija

[uredi | uredi kod]

Aljaski zaljev ima skoro 1 533 000 km², proteže se od Aljaskog poluotoka i otoka Kodiak na zapadu do rta Spencer na istoku.[1] Obale zaljeva su jako razvedene brojnim fjordovima i drugim zaljevima, od kojih su najveći Cook i Zaljev Princa Williama (oba uz poluotok Kenai). Veliki glečeri uz njegove obale, ispuštaju ogromne sante leda koje dalje na pučinu izvlači Aljaška struja. Duž obala zaljeva uzdižu se visoki planinski masivi Chugach, Kenai, Fairweather i Saint Elias.[1]

Najveće rijeke koje uviru u zaljev su Susitna i Copper, najveće luke su Anchorage, Seward i najsjevernija koja se ne ledi Valdez do koje vodi transaljaški naftovod.[1]

Velike količine nafte pronađene su duž zaljeva Cook i Controller.[1]

Prvi Evropljani koji su doplovili do zaljeva bili su Rusi koje je 1741. vodio Vitus Bering.[1]
