State description

Alaska is the largest state in the United States, an endlessly diverse region, about which the misconception has developed that it is permafrost. The Southeastern Panhandle (from Ketchikan, bypassing Juneau, to Heshe and Skagway) has a temperate climate, abundant rains and fertile land with numerous forests. The Gulf Coast of Alaska north and west of Haynes is the most densely populated area, especially around the city of Anchorage, a truly large city in the state.

The capital of the “land of the midnight sun,” as Alaska is called, is Juneau. However, it is not the largest and most famous city in the state. A favorite place for tourists from all over the world is the city of Anchorage, where everyone who wants to visit this end of the earth with its unspoiled pristine beauty arrives.
