Alaska is perhaps the most amazing state in the USA. It has coastlines facing both the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. This state has an incredible three million lakes. That’s four lakes per person living there.

It’s really a fun scene to watch.
Alaska is called the Land of the Midnight Sun because in summer, the sun does not set for nearly three months. But in winter the sun stays almost unseen.
