No other state combines the diverse geographic landscapes, spectacular scenery,abundant fish and wildlife,and unique character, in an area so vast as Alaska.                                                                                                                                            Where you can see Orca whales surfacing, while glaciers cascade into the Pacific Ocean, creating icebergs. Historic fishing villages nestled along the beautiful, rugged coastline. Sled dogs race across the frozen tundra, silhouetted by the shimmering, mystical northern lights. Float planes splash down near lodges on remote, pristine lakes. Numerous national parks and wilderness areas, including Mt. Denali, largest mountain in North America.

     The 49th state welcomes over one million visitors each year. But many other potential visitors will never have the opportunity to visit.
