- 19 Mountains over 14,000 ft<br />
- Highest point in North America, Mt McKinley (Denali) 20,320 ft<br />
- More area than the 26 smallest states<br />
- Purchased from Russia in 1867 for less than 2ȼ an acre<br />
- Longest days, 24 hours of daylight<br />
- Longest nights, 24 hours of night<br />
- More than 3 million lakes, larger than 25 acres<br />
- 586,400 square miles<br />
- 1/5 the land mass of the entire continental US<br />
- More than two times the size of Texas<br />
- 29 active volcanoes, half the world's totalȼ<br />
- More coastline than the lower 48 states, 33,000 miles<br />
- More than 1/2 of the world's glaciers<br />
- One glacier larger than Switzerland<br />
<br />
Well, I learned something. I would have said Hawaii had more volcanoes than Alaska. In fact, I'm not sure I would have even said Alaska had volcanoes. Well, apparently Hawaii is down to 2, that's right - 2, active volcanoes. Super active, but only 2. Well, I guess that shows what I know!Shaunnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00915208439958699792noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-75880345023758856.post-36659584749889594792012-04-17T12:00:00.000-05:002012-04-17T12:00:00.347-05:00T's postcards - 109<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cfiCJXXtU_k1MQM_oqjzzHN4XN3o2Ul8V03Z4rsf122pYBHeAyhLxhJuzZUsJlpzdJgmGrEu96K_U0ZbZcH4l7VZPgH-DXC31ShmrdvyjWzjjqq4bEsqhLQ8U4pNEPgbJbqwUguPl4-5/s1600/TJ109.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cfiCJXXtU_k1MQM_oqjzzHN4XN3o2Ul8V03Z4rsf122pYBHeAyhLxhJuzZUsJlpzdJgmGrEu96K_U0ZbZcH4l7VZPgH-DXC31ShmrdvyjWzjjqq4bEsqhLQ8U4pNEPgbJbqwUguPl4-5/s320/TJ109.jpg" /></a></div>Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.<br />

The Iditarod finishes at Nome each year. These teams vie for their positions before the finish." The iditarod is run from Anchorage to Nome (over 1150 miles) each year with teams of 12 to 16 dogs, and is finished in 10 to 17 days. I know what winter is like, and I don't know how they could do it!<br />
