| ALASKA; meaning "great land of the west" it is more than twice the size of Texas. A land of gigantic ice fields, extensive tundra, lush rainforests, deep inlets and occasional smoking volcanoes, fires the imagination. Wildlife is abundant here with Kodiak bears standing twelve feet tall, moose stopping traffic in Anchorage, wolves prowling through national parks, bald eagles circling over the trees, and rivers. Three of the nation's highest peaks are found within its borders and one glacier alone is twice the size of Wales. Adventure vacations range from wild to mild, fascinating history and a multi-cultural heritage reflected in the art, lifestyles and community.
