Alaska's portion of the Inside Passage extends {{convert|500|mi|km}} from north to south and {{convert|100|mi|km}} from east to west. The area encompasses 1,000 islands and thousands of coves and bays. While the [[Alexander Archipelago]] in Alaska provides some protection from the [[Pacific Ocean]] weather, much of the area experiences strong semi-[[Day|diurnal]] [[tide]]s. [[Lynn Canal]] is the northernmost waterway of the Inside Passage.
