I like to learn about Alaska because.. I want to see what types of mountains they have and i like the facts even though Alaska comes with lots of downsides.
The most interesting fact about Alaska I learned.. was that you can't go to the capital by car because of the Pacific Ocean and the Ice fields.
I would not visit this state, even though it's a really really cool state!
