Alaska, the 49th state, is the largest state, and also the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost! It has the most national parks, the most wildlife, the highest mountains, the longest coastline, and the lowest population density.

Alaska is full of oddities and paradoxes, such as a state-run railroad and a state capital that cannot be reached by highway. The biggest traffic hazard is moose on the road, the main airport has several times been closed by volcanic eruptions, and everybody seems to hunt and fish. All legal residents get annual payments from state petroleum revenues, the nearest countries are Canada and Russia, and the whole state was purchased for less than two cents an acre. In a word, Alaska is unique.

I have been to Alaska four times, both by land and by sea, and feel that I have barely begun to scratch the surface. My biggest expedition in 2010 was a 7500 mile round-trip through Canada to Alaska that took me all the way to the Arctic Ocean. Current plans are to revisit Alaska in late summer 2011 to complete my coverage.

I have divided Alaska into three Virtual Guidebooks:

• the first one one covers almost half the state -- Northern and Interior Alaska, including Fairbanks, the Alaska Highway, and the Dalton Highway;

• another for South-Central Alaska, including Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula, Prince William Sound, and the Copper River;

• and a third covering Southeastern Alaska featuring the ports, islands and fiords of the Inside Passage.
