Explore The Geography Of Alaska
The geography of Alaska is difficult to explore because of the snow, ice, mountains, and animals. It’s hard to explore Alaska because of the snow and ice there. When there is snow it gets really deep and cold including ice when it gets cold the climate drops and there is slippery ice. People in Alaska wait for the ice to melt so it will be easier to travel (Par. 9.) Alaska is where it experiences the most coldest temperature sometimes there is more ice and snow than there is in the U.S. Also Alaska is difficult to explore because of its mountains over there. There are mountains that are big and a few small, but most of the mountains are huge. The mountains are covered with deep, icy, snow that's hard to go through and past ( Picture.)

    The main highway that runs through Alaska is a threat to the animals because if animals come across the road, and the driver is going way too fast, then both the driver, passengers, and the animals can be killed. The roads can become icy and very dangerous to drive on. Many people can be killed and badly injured as a result of driving on thin ice.…

    Alaskan territory was acquired from Russia in the late 19th century. It was primarily known for its source of Klondike gold fields. Much of the territory's population was based in small boom-and-bust economies based on the natural resources of gold, oil, gas, and timber. The federal government did not want an unstable economy based solely on resource exploration so it set aside millions of acres of land to conserve those resources and develop them responsibly. The United…

    Yes, living alone in the wilderness like Thoreau and London sounds exciting, especially if you fake a big part of your adventures or if you can pack up and go home when you get too hungry. Chris McCandless doesn’t have these options, but Shaun Callarman believes that Chris is full of “Romantic silliness,” and by this statement I think he means that Chris goes into Alaska seeing only the good parts of the wilderness experience. Like Callarman, I believe that Chris has a head full of “Romantic ideas” and that he lacks “common sense” although I would not call him “plain crazy.”…

    The world, as we know it, is in the midst of having an oil crisis. Our nation starves and bends at the will of this dreadful calamity. Our deprivation for this atrocious corruption has led us to look for oil deposits in the Alaskan Wilderness. The US needs oil and by drilling for oil on our own land, we would help our economy, but in doing so would destroy the beauty of the wilderness and harm many others. The matter on hand is that should we drill for oil in Alaska’s wilderness? My opinion and answer to this question would simply be no. The United States of America should not drill for oil in the Alaskan wilderness.…

    I chose the novel “Looking for Alaska” by John Green, because I already read a reading sample in my English lessons in Germany from this book and I really liked the style of writing the author used. I also chose this novel, because many of my friends said it was a good book and worth reading, besides the fact, that the book is well-known for some of its quotes (“If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane”) and the awards it won (Michael L. Printz Award). The author is also known for his book “The fault in our stars”, which is another one of his four books.…

During the Ice Age, low ocean levels made this bridge tractable for Asaitic tribes, who crossed over and populated the Americas. However, after the Ice Age, rising ocean levels inundated the land bridge, thereby isolating the new America peoples.…

    The two faced below-zero temperatures, miles of snow and ice and forests that made it difficult to identify their location and ice along the ground. Alaska covers over 650,000 miles of land, with many mountainous areas and large regions without many inhabitants. Surviving in this rough terrain is easier when carrying a kit with the items recommended by the state of Alaska. What to Bring: Axe Survival Knife Mosquito/Insect Headnet Signaling Devices (Mirror, Watch) Fishing Line and Hooks First-aid Kit Food Coffee Can Pack a survival kit, following the Alaskan state law AS 02.35.110. Emergency Rations and Equipment for small groups. Bring an axe of around 3-4 pounds, preferably with leather or another material covering the handle, which keeps your hands from touching the freezing metal and a knife of 13-15". Survival knives with a partially serrated blade is best because the non-serrated area cuts animal hide, while the serrated side saws through tree limbs and harder surfaces. A mosquito or insect headnet protects your face from biting bugs and signaling devices, including a mirror or watch let you contact search parties. Bring fishing hooks and a line, a first-aid kit, a coffee can and enough food to survive one week. If you're in a group or traveling with others, each person needs their…

    Although these states have many differences, they also have some similarities. Both Alaska and Florida are states in the United States. Florida and Alaska are also both peninsulas, a land that is almost completely surrounded by water but connected to the mainland. Both of these places have many fun things to do. In Alaska you can ski, ice skate, play ice hockey, snowboard, or go sledding because most of the year there is snow on the ground. In Florida you can go to the beach, go surfing, play volleyball, go to the boardwalk, or go to Disney…
