Anchorage, Alaska
Alaska is the largest state in the United States in land area at 570,374 square miles, over twice the size of Texas
Mount McKinley, or Denali The High One is the highest mountain in the United States and North America with an elevation of 20,320 feet.
Anchorage is Alaska's largest city with over 291,000 residents. At 61 degrees north is it slightly more northern than Oslo and Stockholm.
Because of the northern latitude, in the summer the days are very long although the temperatures rarely rise above the 70s. But that doesn't stop Alaska's residents from shedding their parkas for shorts the moment the sun appears.
Oscar Anderson was an early Anchorage resident, said to be the 18th person to set foot on the area and his house, built in 1915 was the first wood-frame house in Anchorage.
The Glacier Brewhouse is both a brewery and one of Anchorage's top restaurants. The place gets busy early so it is a good idea to make reservations. Aside from rotisserie meats the menu features lots of fresh local seafood. And who ever had fresh raspberry whet beer? The brewhouse was brewing it and it was delicious. Alaska glacier bottled water is a great way to taste the purity of the environment around Anchorage. This bottled water is a popular drink for Asians who visit and refer glaciers. Although there were rave reviews about the seafood chowder and the calamari, I tried the pita with hummus which was a great appetizer that went well with the raspberry wheat beer.
One can't be in Alaska without tasting king crab legs. The fresh version is more spectacular than the deep freeze version we get in the lower 48. Alaskan halibut also shines over their southern neighbors and at Glacier Brewhouse they serve it with a healthy balsamic salad and a not so healthy side of fries.
A popular street food are reindeer hot dogs which are actually a blend of pork sausage and reindeer. I didn't taste it but I understand it is a must try, unless you are Santa Claus. There are lots of tourist shops selling made in China souvenirs but if you want something that is truly Alaskan and unique, The Oomingmak Qiviut shop is an Alaskan native cooperative that produces Muskox products.
It is owned by approximately 250 Native Alaskan women from remote coastal villages of Alaska who knit each item by hand. Each village has a signature pattern derived from traditional aspects of village life and the Eskimo culture; they may come from an ancient artifact or a beadwork design.
The name Musk Ox is deceiving, as the animal does not produce musk, nor is it related to cattle. Skeletal and behavioral studies show a closer relationship to sheep and goats Qiviut is shed naturally each year during the spring months.
About 40 miles south of Anchorage is the Alyeska ski resort -- even in May there is abundant snow -- although skiers were not about. It has an average of 643 of annual snowfall and is known for its steep terrain. For off piste skiing - Chugach Powder Guides operate snowcat or helicopter adventure in the world-famous Chugach Mountain Range. Helicopters guarantee 16 - 20,000 vertical feet of skiing per day. The cost $1125 per person. If that price is unbearable ... the normal day ski lift pass is $60 for an adult.
Not far from Alyeska is Portage and the home of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. The center takes in injured and orphaned animals and many who cannot be released into the wild are given a permanent home at the center.
Snickers, the porcupine is one such creature that was raised in a home and has a lot of personality .. so much so that a youtube video featuring him with almost 1.8 million views. (youtube.com/watch?v=U5I5H7EeC8k)
The center had recently taken in three orphaned moose calves who keep the four-year old moose Jack company. Jack had arrived at the center as a 3-day old moose with bite marks and a broken leg .. and a 20% chance of survival.
Muskox who's warm fur is used in making Qiviut products are an arctic survivor. Their thick coat grows up to 36 inches long.
The wood bison were extinct from Alaska until they were reintroduced in 2003. They are the largest land animal in North America.
Bears are also residents at the center including brown bears, black bears and a grizzly bear.
Heading south toward the coastal town of Whittier brings one to the Whittier tunnel. This is the longest combined railroad car tunnel in North America and connects the commuters between the Prince William Sound and Turnagain Arm. The tunnel opened in 1943.
Whittier is home to lots of sea life from birds, to sea otters, seals, whales, and sea lions.
In 1964 a 9.2 magnitude earthquake (the largest ever recorded in North America)
generated a major tectonic tsunami. The waves destroyed Girdwood and Portage and evidence of the damage today is still visible from the dead wood forests in the area.

In 1952, a C-124 crashed into Mount Gannett in the Chugach Mountain Range
in Alaska. 60 years later, the Army National Guard located some wreckage from the C-124 crash
on a routine training mission. Every year since, a team has traveled to the glacier to recover
human remains and aircraft wreckage.

Glacier Turn Tour - Anchorage, Alaska
We start the day off around noon by picking you up at your hotel and heading to Mt. Alyeska. The summit of Mt. Alyeska is almost 4,000 feet high and its slopes average 54 feet of snow every year. We'll take a tram up to 2,280 ft and the viewing decks of the Roundhouse Museum. Weather permitting, we'll see several glaciers from this viewpoint, as well as Turnagain Arm from the museum's viewing decks.
Then we'll take the tram back down the mountain for lunch at our favorite eatery at the base of the Chugach mountains. You'll feast on the bottomless soup of the day, famous sourdough bread, and delicious desserts. A beverage is included. Enjoy lunch family-style indoors, or outside among this place's beautiful flowers.
After an Alaska-sized lunch, we'll travel on to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a rescue and rehabilitation organization for Alaska's wild mammals. Here we'll view grizzly bears, eagles, families of elk and bison, lynx and other furry friends.
Up next it's glaciers! We'll get up close and personal with Portage Glacier on a 1-hour cruise across Portage Lake. An on-board naturalists will share interpretive facts and stories about the land, the local flora and fauna, and the beautiful glaciers of the Portage Valley. Together we'll learn about glaciers and watch (and listen) to Portage Glacier, which once filled the entire valley and connected what are now five separate glaciers. Your captain will take you to a safe distance from the edge of the glacier so you can experience its radiant hues and ancient power.

매킨리 산을 둘러보기 위해 근처의 비행장을 찾았다. 타키트나가 교통의 중심지인 것은 곳곳으로 연결되는 비행시설 때문이다. 매킨리의 빙하 위를 걷기 위해선 특별한 신이 필요했다. 자칫 위험할 수 있기 때문이다. 드디어 비행기가 창공으로 떠올랐다. 매킨리는 북아메리카에서 가장 높은 산이다. 산을 좋아하는 사람은 물론이고 아메리카에 사는 사람이라면 누구나 평생에 한 번은 이 곳을 찾아오고 싶어 한다고 한다. 얼마 지나지 않아 우리는 매킨리의 빙하를 만날 수 있었다. 계곡을 따라 강물처럼 흐르는 빙하는 장관을 이루었다. 느리게 흐르는 경우 1년에 겨우 2m 정도 빙하가 쌓인다고 하니, 사람들이 그 흐름을 느낄 수는 없어도 정말 장구한 세월동안 쌓여가고 있는 것이다. 빙하가 파랗게 보이는 것은 빙하의 밀도가 높아 다른 빛은 모두 흡수하고 푸른빛만 반사하기 때문이라고 한다. 수 만년동안 쌓인 눈이 빙하로 변하면서 엄청난 압력에 의해 밀도가 높아진다는 것이다. 빙하위로 비행기가 내렸다. “가만히 귀를 기울이면 물이 흐르는 소리를 들을 수 있습니다. 빙하가 녹아서 흐르는 것이죠. 빙하 밑의 물을 볼수 도 있습니다.“ 순수하고 깨끗한 자연은 경이로운 감탄의 대상이다. 그리고 말로 표현하기 어려운 감동을 전하는 것이 대자연의 힘이다. 나는 그 장관에 넋을 놓고 있었다. 모두들 카메라로 추억을 담아두기에 정신이 없는데 높은 능선위의 오두막이 눈에 들어왔다. 앞으로 2년 동안의 예약이 완료되어 있는 산장이라고 했다. 왠지 쓸쓸하고 외로운 느낌이었다. 조종사가 메아리를 들어보자고 했다. “아주 좋았어요. 근데 다들 어디 간 거예요. 제발! 좋아요.. 다들 준비됐죠?“ 이 산에는 생각지도 못했던 놀라움들이 곳곳에 숨어있었다. ”지금 달이 거의 해의 오른쪽에 떠 있네요. 정말 신기하죠.“ 대자연의 신비는 우리가 쉽게 상상할 수 없는 것이었다. 나는 저 거대한 자연 앞에서 저절로 고개가 숙여지는 내 자신을 발견하게 되었다. 그리고 인간은 결국, 저 도도한 대자연의 일부 일뿐이라는 사실을 다시 한 번 확인할 수 있었다.

It sought to explore the airfield near Mount McKinley. The other kit out of the transportation hub because of flight connections throughout the facility. In order to walk to the glacier above the McKinley I needed a special god. This is because the risk may be liable. The plane finally emerged as the firmament. McKinley is the tallest mountain in North America. People who love the mountain is said to want to come here to find once in a lifetime everyone and anyone who lives in America, of course. Soon we could see the glaciers of Mount McKinley. Like a river flowing along the valley glaciers formed a minister. If you do that slowly flowing glacier is only about 2m per year accumulated, people will accumulate over the years going by without really can feel the flow of equipment. It looks bluish glaciers increases the density of the ice absorbs all other light and because it reflects only blue light. The snow will be piled enormous pressure while the density increases by ten thousand years has turned into a glacier. The plane fell over the glacier. If you can still listen to the sound of water flowing. Hers flowing glaciers melt. You also see the water underneath the glacier, pure and clean nature is a subject of admiration wonderful. And words, it is difficult to convey the impression force of nature expressed. I had put the soul to the Minister.
