Alaska Travel Guide

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Alaska is the USA's largest state, a sparsely populated land of immense natural beauty<strong>,</strong> diverse wildlife and breathtaking adventure.<br /> Consider its attributes: Alaska has 3 million lakes, over 3,000 rivers, 17 of the USA's 20 highest peaks, 100,000 glaciers and 15 national parks, preserves and monuments. Soaring snow-covered peaks, glaciers and fjords, bears, moose, salmon-filled rivers and the shrill call of eagles echo the grandeur of this state, which offers an experience like nowhere else on earth.<br /> Anchorage, Alaska's largest city, is both a popular tourist destination and the centre of commerce and transportation for the region; 40% of the state's population lives here. Lake Hood is home to the world's largest seaplane base, the main form of transport in Alaska.<br /> <div closure_uid_xj5eee="124">Fairbanks, Alaska's second-largest city, situated at the northern end of the Alaska Highway, is a trade and transportation centre for the Interior and Far North regions, and gateway to the state's real frontier. From mid-May through to July, visitors can enjoy more than 20 hours of sunlight a day, but in winter the short days are mostly a pink-and-indigo twilight with about four hours of real daylight.</div><div closure_uid_xj5eee="124"><br /> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi58reEpDnHxn8ZP0TzRpXgeBggLqJgLZSgntbW0OBDpn1frxJhmmVgrNRqfZenfa-siWgQmp_udbNIVkVmjQTEr5d5N8hLBUI2oezYGjUqiQSxSH9ircqDZKyADm6vmqn0cKKUSis6oQ/s1600/Wonder%252520Lake%252C%252520Alaska.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi58reEpDnHxn8ZP0TzRpXgeBggLqJgLZSgntbW0OBDpn1frxJhmmVgrNRqfZenfa-siWgQmp_udbNIVkVmjQTEr5d5N8hLBUI2oezYGjUqiQSxSH9ircqDZKyADm6vmqn0cKKUSis6oQ/s400/Wonder%252520Lake%252C%252520Alaska.jpg" /></a></div><div closure_uid_xj5eee="124"><br /> </div></div>
