Alaska, northernmost and westernmost state of the United States, and the largest state of the Union. It occupies the extreme northwestern region of the North American continent and is separated from Asia by the 82-km (51-mi) wide Bering Strait. Alaska has belonged to the United States since 1867, when it was bought from Russia by Secretary of State William H. Seward. The United States paid Russia $7.2 million for the rights of the Russian American Company in Alaska.

    Unique recreation opportunities present themselves in Alaska's wild lands. Walrus, whale and brown bear watching are three exciting adventures for visitors to this state. Water-oriented activities abound as do hunting and photography.

    The largest state in the USA, Alaska is a sparsely populated land of immense natural beauty. At one-fifth the size of the lower 48 States, Alaska has three million lakes, over 3000 rivers, 17 of the USA’s 20 highest peaks, 100,000 glaciers and 15 national parks, preserves and monuments.

    Alaska is big with only a small portion accessible by automobile. The south-central region, around Anchorage, and the interior region, around Fairbanks, contain more roads than the other areas. The southwest, including the Kodiak and Aluetian Islands, the western coast, along the Bering Sea, and the southeastern region, surrounding Alexander Archipelago, are very remote areas. Some communities within these areas are accessible only by boat or plane.
