身為美國第49州的阿拉斯加,是1867年時,以美金七百萬的代價,自蘇俄手中購得,因而它的別名是「最後的荒野」(Last
Frontier)。阿拉斯加是美國50州內面積最大的州,也是西半球最大的半島。阿拉斯加山脈的馬金利山是登山者的極致挑戰,高20,320英尺的它是北美洲境內最高的一座山。阿拉斯加的首府是朱諾(Juneau),而它的州花是淡藍色的勿忘我。
The nickname of the 49th state, Alaska, is the "Last Frontier." Purchased from Russia for $7 million in 1867, Alaska is the largest state in area and is the largest peninsula in the Western Hemisphere. Mt. McKinley in the Alaska Range is North America's highest peak at 20,320 feet and one of the greatest challenges for mountain climbers. Juneau is the state's capital, and the state flower is the pale-blue forget-me-not.
