ALASKA
The boundlessness of the place will grab you at first, for
there is nowhere as far-flung as Alaska. It will alter your
concept of space. Tundra, sky, mountain and sea: Alaska is a
place you don't just visit; you experience it. Glaciers calve into
the sea, arctic tundra stretches beyond the horizon, the rugged
and expansive mountains reach into the sky, wildlife is abundant,
and humans are scarce. The Land of the Midnight Sun
has a whopping 238 million acres of public land, and you'll have
the chance to explore a slice of it.
Though part of the United States, this place is different.
The round-the-clock daylight of summer, the vast geographic distance
from the Lower 48, and the various cultures set it apart. You
won't need a passport or visa for your trip to Alaska, but you will
feel a long way from home.
