Port of Whittier: Southern Alaska's Gateway Hub
Port Alswater, officially known as Port of Whittier, is a major deepwater port and transportation hub in Alaska, located at the western end of Prince William Sound in southern Alaska, USA. With the advantage of its unique ice-free waterway (navigable most of the time in winter due to the Alaskan Warm Current), the port is a key node connecting interior Alaska to the Pacific Ocean, and is also the southern terminus of the Alaska Railroad, where goods can be railroaded directly to core cities such as Anchorage. Economically, the port serves the functions of fisheries, energy transportation, and tourist supply, and the surrounding area is known for its spectacular glacial landscapes (e.g., Prince William Sound Glacier) and abundant wildlife resources (whales, seals, etc.), making it an important gateway to Alaskan eco-tourism. Although sparsely populated (about 200 people), its strategic location and natural endowments make it an unmissable port town in southern Alaska.
