Fairbanks | Alaska | A Winter Adventure
8 days with a rental car exploring the Fairbanks area. Our trip was March 23rd-30th 2019. Some places visited: Fountainhead Antique Auto Museum, dog sledding with Black Spruce Dog Sledding, Running Reindeer Ranch, Aurora Ice Museum, Museum of the North, Pioneer Park, Tanana Valley Railroad Museum, Pioneer Air Museum, Denali National Park (we could only go the first 3 miles into the park, as the road is closed in the winter season, we did not see Mt Denali), Silver Gulch Brewery- the Northern most brewery in North America, Creamer's Field, Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitor's Center, we rented snowshoes from Alaska Element, Santa Claus House in North Pole, the world's largest Santa statue, Fairbanks Community Museum, Chena Hot Springs (we opted to not get in as it was very crowded), Ice Alaska - world's ice carving championships at Tanana Valley State Fairgrounds- we arrived on the last day it was open so the ice statues were pretty melted, Alaska Pipeline Viewing Point, snowmobiling with Rod's Alaskan Guide Service. Only one night of our trip had a high rating for Aurora activity but it was very cloudy, so we could not see the Northern Lights :( :( It's ok, we got to see them in Iceland!

Winter Storm Brings Fresh Tracks
After a major winter storm in Fairbanks, Alaska, the boreal forest is a white wonderland. Every branch and twig is cloaked with fresh, wet snow. Tracks reveal the wanderings of a red fox. Soon after this snow event, freezing rain and a severe wind storm occurred at night, damaging planes, power lines, and huge spruce trees that crashed on roads, blocking traffic. Thousands of homes lost power. November 13, 2013.

Yukon
Yukon /ˈjuːkɒn/ is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories. Whitehorse is the territorial capital and Yukon's only city.
The territory was split from the Northwest Territories in 1898. Receiving royal assent on March 27, 2002, the federal government modernized the Yukon Act to confirm Yukon as the current standard, though Yukon Territory remains the more popular usage. Though officially bilingual (English and French), the Yukon Government also recognizes First Nations languages.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using

SUMMARY
=======
Alaska ( ( listen); Aleut: Alax̂sxax̂; Inupiaq: Alaskaq; Russian: Аляска, translit. Alyaska) is a U.S. state in the northwest extremity of North America. The Canadian administrative divisions of British Columbia and Yukon border the state to the east, its most extreme western part is Attu Island, and it has a maritime border with Russia (Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) to the west across the Bering Strait. To the north are the Chukchi and Beaufort seas—the southern parts of the Arctic Ocean. The Pacific Ocean lies to the south and southwest. It is the largest state in the United States by area and the
seventh largest subnational division in the world. In addition, it is the 3rd least populous and the most sparsely populated of the 50 United States; nevertheless, it is by far the most populous territory located mostly north of the 60th parallel in North America: its population—estimated at 738,432 by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2015— is more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland. Approximately half of Alaska's residents live within the Anchorage metropolitan area. Alaska's economy is dominated by the fishing, natural gas, and oil industries, resources which it has in abundance. Military bases and tourism are also a significant part of the economy.
The United States purchased Alaska from the Russian Empire on March 30, 1867, for 7.2 million U.S. dollars at approximately two cents per acre ($4.74/km2). The area went through several administrative changes before becoming organized as a territory on May 11, 1912. It was admitted as the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3, 1959.
Yukon River
The Yukon River is a major watercourse of northwestern North America. The source of the river is located in British Columbia, Canada. The next portion lies in, and gives its name to, Yukon. The lower half of the river lies in the U.S. state of Alaska. The river is 3,190 kilometres long and empties into the Bering Sea at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The average flow is 6,430 m³/s. The total drainage area is 832,700 km², of which 323,800 km² is in Canada. By comparison, the total area is more than 25% larger than Texas or Alberta.
The longest river in Alaska and Yukon, it was one of the principal means of transportation during the 1896–1903 Klondike Gold Rush. A portion of the river in Yukon—The Thirty Mile section, from Lake Laberge to the Teslin River—is a national heritage river and a unit of Klondike Gold Rush International Historical Park. Paddle-wheel riverboats continued to ply the river until the 1950s, when the Klondike Highway was completed. After the purchase of Alaska by the United States in 1867, the Alaska Commercial Company acquired the assets of the Russian-American Company and constructed several posts at various locations on the Yukon River.
