Traveling in Alaska

This is what comes to mind when traveling in Alaska. Very cold country covered with thick ice, is located in the northernmost part of the earth. Nothing wrong because about half of Alaska covered with layers of ice and a half years also the average temperature below 0 degrees celsius. The sun was almost in hiding for several days in winter. Conversely, in the summer, the sun shines about 20 hours a day. May to September is summer. The temperature gradually rose, from about 13 degrees Celsius until reaching the top 21 degrees celsius by the end of July.

If we belong to hunters shopping mall or a fan club when I went traveling, maybe we will be disappointed not to find a large mall in the region. Alaska is the place to find a different nature than the tropics. Snow, icebergs, and the Alaskan tundra is the main menu. Most of the forest and mountain region is an area of ??nature reserves. Therefore, tourists who traveling in Alaska would get a view of nature, will also meet animals, like bears, salmon, bald eagles, reindeer, as well as marine wildlife, such as sea lions and whales.

Alaska is a state of the United States to-49 relative integrates with Great Plains of America. Alaska’s land area 1.5 million square kilometers, plus 117,000 sq km water. With an area of ??it, Alaska became the largest state in the United States. Area of ??Alaska covers a fifth of the entire area of ??the United States. The population numbered 627,000 souls, about 69 percent of whites, 20 percent Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut. The rest are immigrants from Asia, Africa, and other tribes of the Pacific islands.

The history of Alaska began trading furs, timber, salmon, gold mining, and petroleum. Every nation that immigrants bring the story to explore this area and its own development for Alaska. Juneau is located about 965 miles from Anchorage and 1448 miles from Seattle became the capital city since 1900. Although Juneau is the capital of the State of Alaska, Anchorage is the largest city and is the main gateway into Alaska.

Gold hunters flocked into Alaska about 1880. Gold mines can be found near the coast to go inland, such as Fairbanks and the Yukon region of Alaska located in the middle. However, many mines are now abandoned because it was not economical. Former gold mine and the path of the train is now a bustling tourist center. Alaska is also producer of crude oil. Alyeska Pipeline operates the Trans Alaska oil pipeline Pipeline System. The company is owned by a consortium of 5 companies, BP (Alaska) Inc., ExxonMobile Pipeline Company, Conoco Phillips Transportation Alaska, Unocal Pipeline Company and Koch Alaska Pipeline Company LLC.

Alaska is so vast, so crude that flowed with the speed of 4 miles per hour from the Prudhoe Bay took nine days to reach the port of Valdez Marine Terminal along the 800 miles. In the harbor was frozen for 365 days had been waiting for 16 000 tankers. The pipeline crossing three mountain ranges, Brooks, Alaska, and Chugach. More than 14 million barrels of crude oil flowed through the Trans Alaska Pipeline System since 1977. Some 17 percent of U.S. oil needs are produced from here.

Land and sea

Traveling in Alaska will be more interesting if we combine land tours and sea travel (cruise). Land tour packages are made five days, using a glass-roofed bus and train so that we freely enjoy the natural scenery along the journey. The city passed from Fairbanks and Denali to Anchorage in the central region in the South. Add memorable trip for us to stay in wooden houses. All the places to stay and transportation will be organizations that we choose a cruise ship. The event is a overland tour to see the gold mine and enjoy the natural scenery, including the highest mountain in Alaska, Mt McKinley.

Several cities in Alaska accessible only by sea. In addition to aircraft, sea transport is dominant so that a sea voyage also completed tours in Alaska. There are many cruise ships sailing to the fixed route round trip from Anchorage to Vancouver, Canada, or Seattle, Washington State, USA. This cruise ship capable of carrying 2,000 to 3000 passengers. Approximately seven days sailing time. There are many activities that can be done during the cruise, like swimming, sports, fitness, and watch a cabaret or a movie.

In addition, there are aerobics lessons, computer courses, painting for children, painting exhibition, spas, salons, and shopping at several stores. Restaurant was open for 24 hours. We can eat whatever and whenever as much as is included in the package shipping costs.

In winter, ice accumulated to form glaciers. The glacier is named after the inventor had a variety of forms. College Fjord, for example, melt like ice cream, while the Hubbard Glacier pointy. With any luck, we could see the icebergs are landslides, fallen into the sea causing a rumble and stunning scenery. Chunks of ice will be swept away to sea several kilometers before it melts completely.

Outside the collapse of the glacier panorama, the ship will stop in the city of Skagway, Juneau and Ketchikan. Passengers can be dropped from ships for an additional tour to follow. Interesting experience was to see whales in their natural habitat on the high seas. It is conceivable for Metromini black creature jumping out of water. After that, a group of sea birds will swoop down to peck at small fish floundering around a collection of whales jumping. Operators must ensure we meet with the pope entourage. Humpback whales and orca (killer whales), which looks more like dolphins, can be found in this area.

Alaska is also synonymous with salmon, either natural or cultured. Ketchikan, a town in Alaska, known as the salmon capital of the world. Migrating salmon jumping from low to higher parts of the river to spawn. Along the way, brown bear standing menankap intercept and salmon. Black and brown bears compete with humans hunting the salmon when breeding season arrives so it’s not weird stuff when suddenly the bus we were riding had to stop because there is a bear crossing the road.

In short, if there are a thousand places to visit before we called upon the Almighty, Alaska is probably one of the places worth visiting
