Alaska's sled dogs
Just like many of the states in the United States Alaska has 4 seasons. Alaska is never warm, but in the summers the temperatures can reach up to the 90's. Ft. Yukon in Alaska has held the record for the hottest temperatures in Alaska it got to 100 degrees farenheight no other place in Alaska has beat that yet. The current population in Alaska 2007 was 683,478. Alot of people from the US say they want to move to Alaska some say because the moose and grizzlies are bigger, but on another note some are saying they would move there because of all the beauty and all the unique kind of animals. Alaska's landscape is always changing because of all the glaciers falling and breaking into the surface. So they could be moving there for change in their environment.
Animals in Alaska
Sara Palin is the governer of Alaska and she tries her best to keep Alaska's laws in order and never to be broken. She is a very good US citesin and recently in 08 she ran to be the secretary for John Mccain. Unfortuantly Obama got the most votes, but sorces say that in 2012 she might actually run for president.
Visitors of Alaska come to see many things not just the changing environment, but for Mt. Mckinley and for most of all to see all the beautiful wildlife. To name a few of the animals living here in Alaska are the bald eagle, caribou, brown bear, moose, dahl sheep, humpback whales, polar bears and etc. These are only a few of some of the most unique animals in the world. What makes them so unique? Well for one thing they are able to survive in the harsh temperatures of the Arctic in Alaska. In Alaska ther are 47 state and national parks for tourists to come and see all of these animals. They are not caged, but they are usually in sight for all the tourists to see. Another tourist attraction in Alaska is the sled dog races. Alaska's moto is 'North to the Future'.
You might be familiar with the Iditarod and this major event is held in Alaska. It just recently ended and they are now showing episodes of the mushers and there dogs through the race. In the winters of Alaska the temperatures are almost always below 0 or worse. Which means the msuhers and there dogs always have to work hard in order to get a chance at placing or winning the race.
