Alaska spans over 663,000 square miles, making it larger than Texas, California, and Montana combined, with mountains, tundra, forests, and glaciers shaping the landscape.
Anchorage serves as the state's largest city, while Juneau governs as the capital and Fairbanks acts as a gateway to Alaska's interior.
Fishing, oil production, tourism, and transportation drive Alaska's economy, connecting remote communities across vast distances.
Despite its enormous size, Alaska is home to only about 740,000 people, making it one of the least densely populated states in America.
Alaska supports some of North America's most iconic wildlife, including grizzly bears, moose, wolves, bald eagles, and migrating whales.
Denali, North America's highest peak at 20,310 feet, rises above Alaska's wilderness and can be seen from over 200 miles away.
LAST Frontier
Alaska is a land defined by scale. From towering mountains and massive glaciers to remote villages and abundant wildlife, it remains one of the few places where nature still dominates the landscape. This project explores how geography shapes survival, culture, and exploration.
