Because you most likely have to site your sources for the information, I think the easiest way to go about this is thinking of a bunch of questions about Alaska that you think it’d be interesting to know the answers to, and then google them.

Its part of the USA, but it’s broken off and on the west side of Canada

Biggest state in the country, has more shoreline than all the rest of the US combined, six months of night, six months of nothing but daylight… I believe it’s very green there except in winter and I actually think it’s more winter there than heated “summers” anyways, if you get what I mean. Also very famous for the dog sledding races that take place there like the Iditirod (not sure how to spell it), a famous major competition in dog sledding … Hope I helped :)

They have areas there that get: 24 hours of daylight 24 hours of night 3 million lakes They have: 586,400 Square Miles Are 2 times the size of Texas Have 29 volcanoes 33,000 miles of coastline! 1,400 miles North to South 2,700 miles East to West Over 1/2 the world’s Glaciers 55 miles east of Russia Are the only state to have coastlines on three different seas. Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. http://funadvice.com/r/14poovgh3do Alaska accounts for 25% of the oil produced in the United States. Outsiders first discovered Alaska in 1741 when Danish explorer Vitus Jonassen Bering sighted it on a voyage from Siberia. Alaska officially became the 49th state on January 3, 1959.   Alaska’s most important revenue source is the oil and natural gas industry. Alaska’s name is based on the Eskimo word Alakshak meaning great lands or peninsula http://funadvice.com/r/bg1npr5bfao

Two interesting things about Alaska:

(a) It start with an A, ends with an A and has an A near the middle.

(b) they have more than 30 words for different types of “Snow”.

THNX!
