B Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coastlines
facing both the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible
three million lakes. That’s four lakes per person living there.
Many cities in Alaska cannot be reached by road, sea, or river. The only way to
get it and out is by air, on foot, or by dogsled. That’s why Alaska has the busiest
sea airport in the world, Lake Hood Seaplane Base. Nearly two hundred float
planes take off and land on the water of this airport every day. It’s really a fun
scene to watch.
Alaska is called the Land of Midnight Sun because in summer, the sun does
not set for nearly three months. But in winter the sun stays unseen.
All Alaskans take place special pride in their beautiful and unique state.
