In the northwestern extreme of the North American continent, lies Alaska-the largest state of the United States of America by area. A stone’s throw away from the Arctic Circle, Alaska has a sub arctic climate, with the temperature in winter falling below -52°C.
Traveling to Alaska can be an adventure in itself. You can drive down to Alaska from Dawson Creek in British Columbia on the Alaska Highway famous for its incredible scenery. You can also take a flight from Seattle. This is the closest major airport outside the state and a jet flight from Seattle takes around an hour and a half. You can also take a cruise or a ferry from Bellingham, Washington or Prince Rupert, British Columbia to reach Alaska.
