Alaska is very beautiful and has so many things to do and places to go. From the highest peaks of Mt.McKinley to the miles of coastline that seem to go on forever.Everywhere you turn there are thickly wooded areas teaming with wildlife of all types. Free, majestic eagles soar overhead and the Aurora Borealis dance across the sky. One of the most important events is the Iditarod Dog Sled Race, a race that runs from Anchorage to Nome every year.

 

With its myriad islands, Alaska has nearly 34,000 miles (54,720 km) of tidal shoreline. The Aleutian Islands chain extends west from the southern tip of the Alaska Peninsula. Many active volcanoes are found in the Aleutians and in coastal regions. Unimak Island, for example, is home to Mount Shishaldin, which is an occasionally smoldering volcano that rises to 10,000 feet (3,048 m) above the North Pacific. It is the most perfect volcanic cone on Earth, even more symmetrical than Japan's Mount Fuji. 

 

One of the best ways to visit Alaska is by cruise ship. As many cities and towns in Alaska do not have roads to them, the only way to reach them is by sea or air.
