Alaska

Alaska este un stat al Statelor Unite ale Americii situat în extremitatea nord vestică a continentului America de Nord. A devenit cel de-al patruzeci și nouălea stat al Uniunii nord-americane, la 3 ianuarie 1959, după ce fusese teritoriu al Statelor Unite, Alaska Territory, între 1912 și 1959. Numele "Alaska" provine cel mai probabil din cuvântul Alyeska din aleutină însemnând "țară mare", "continent", sau "pământ mare". Este străbătută de fluviul Yukon. În 1867, Rusia a vândut Statelor Unite ale Americii teritoriul Alaska pentru suma de 7,2 milioane de dolari.

Tongass National Forest

The Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska is the largest U.S. National Forest at 16.7 million acres, an expanse larger than 10 U.S. states and 75 U.N. member nations. Most of its area is temperate rain forest and is remote enough to be home to many species of endangered and rare flora and fauna. The Tongass, which is managed by the United States Forest Service, encompasses islands of the Alexander Archipelago, fjords and glaciers, and peaks of the Coast Mountains. An international border with Canada runs along the crest of the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains. The forest is administered from Forest Service headquarters offices in Ketchikan. There are local ranger district offices located in Craig, Hoonah, Juneau, Ketchikan, Petersburg, Sitka, Thorne Bay, Wrangell, and Yakutat.
