If you love the freezing cold and you’re fascinated by snowy landscapes then Alaska should definitely be on your bucket list.
This vast state, located north of Canada, not only offers
breath-taking natural panoramas, but it is also home to a wide variety
of wild animals, such as whales, polar bears and cute white fluffy
seals.
A BIT OF HISTORY
Despite the rigid weather, Alaska was actually habited by numerous
indigenous peoples for thousands of years before the Europeans colonized
the area.
The first to colonize Alaska were the Russians, who in the 17th
century established a settlement there. Since then, several expeditions
from Spain and other European countries were sent to Alaska to assert
their claim over the Pacific Northwest.
Finally, in the 20th century the U.S. declared the state
of Alaska as part of the United States of America. Alaska was officially
proclaimed a state on January 3, 1959.
INTERESTING FACT
Alaska’s capital city is Juneau, not Anchorage like most people would think. However, Anchorage is the country’s largest city.
Let’s now focus on the places that one should not miss when travelling to and around the country
