Template:Short description Template:Location map-line Template:Side box The meridian 160° west of Greenwich is a line of longitude[1] that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, North America, the Pacific Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole.

The 160th meridian west forms a great ellipse with the 20th meridian east.

It is the western boundary of continuous Class E airspace between 14, 500 feet and 18, 000 feet MSL (Mean Sea Level) over Alaska.[2]
