    Valdez is located near the head of a deep fjord in the of Prince William Sound in Alaska. It is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains, which are heavily glaciated. Valdez is the northernmost port in North America that is ice-free year-round. The northernmost point of the coastal Pacific temperate rain forest is in Valdez, on Blueberry Hill.

    See beautiful views of Valdez Harbor and nearby Valdez Glacier Park, Old Town Park and the Alaskan Pipeline Terminal across the bay. Enjoy strolling along the boardwalk of the Valdez Boat Harbor, taking a glacier cruise, heli-skiing, fishing or kayaking.

    The 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill occurred as the oil tanker Exxon Valdez was leaving the terminal at Valdez full of oil. The spill occurred at Bligh Reef, about 40 km (25 miles) from Valdez. Although the oil did not reach Valdez, it devastated much of the marine life in the surrounding area. The clean-up of the oil caused a short-term boost to the economy of Valdez.
