Cordova Alaska
 
 Geography of Cordova, Alaska
 Diversity...

The Cordova area is geographically diverse. The area east of Cordova is dominated by the huge Bering Glacier. The non-glaciated area is either mountainous or largely wetland. Immediately east of Cordova is the Copper River with its large delta, famous as a waterfowl stopping over area. West of Cordova the Gulf Coast opens into Prince William Sound with its many islands and waterways.

The sound is somewhat protected from the open ocean by Montague and Hinchinbrook islands. The islands are generally hilly or mountainous and heavily forested with large "muskeg" openings.
