Map of the Aleutian Low low-pressure system along the coast of Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Shown in frosty green and brown, the state extends from the Pacific Northwest as it arcs across the upper half of the map.

Extended Description

Blue water surrounds the Alaskan mainland on three sides while the tip of Russia edges into view at the upper left. A diagram of the low-pressure system overlays three curved white tufts that roughly follow the arc of the coastline where Glacier Bay is situated. Two blue arrows over the water point toward the coast with text reading “Prevailing wind.” A curved pink line with wide serrations facing Glacier Bay is labeled “Aleutian Low. Storm Front.” Above the diagram, Anchorage is shown on an inlet along the Kenai Peninsula.
