| Alaska - The Wilderness Destination |
Alaska is the largest state (1,477,270 square kilometers), more than twice as large as Texas and one-fifth the size of the lower 48 contiguous states. Alaska extends more than 20° in latitude, from Point Barrow at 71°23' to Amatignak Island in the Aleutians at 51°20'. It spans 42° in longitude, from 130° at the Portland Canal in the southeast to 172° at Attu Island in the western Aleutians.
There remain few places on earth where you can truly breathe. Where space is measured not in feet or miles, but in endless horizons. A place where nature is so powerful, so dramatic, a personal encounter can change you forever. Thrill to white thunder in Glacier Bay, marvel at sunlight at midnight and close-ups of whales, eagles and caribou. Delight in Mt. McKinley's majesty and meadows carpeted with wildflowers. Amid unsurpassed grandeur and serenity, the true wilderness of Denali is calling.
