| Alaska |
| Alaska
, largest in area of the United States but third smallest
(exceeding only Vermont and Wyoming) in population, occupying
the northwest extremity of the North American continent, separated
from the coterminous United States by W Canada. It is bordered
by Yukon Territory and British Columbia (E), the Gulf of Alaska
and the Pacific Ocean (S), the Bering Sea, Bering Strait,
and Chukchi Sea (W), and the Beaufort Sea and the Arctic Ocean
(N). |

Nature and Adventure |
| No
other region in North America possesses the mythical aura
of ALASKA ; even the name - a derivation of Alayeska , an
Athabascan word meaning "great land of the west"
- fires the imagination. Few who see this land of gargantuan
ice fields, sweeping tundra, glacially excavated valleys,
lush rainforests, deep fjords and occasionally smoking volcanoes
leave unimpressed. Wildlife may be under threat elsewhere,
but here it is abundant, with Kodiak bears standing twelve
feet tall, moose stopping traffic in downtown Anchorage, wolves
prowling through national parks, bald eagles circling over
the trees, and rivers solid with fifty-plus-pound salmon.
