Attu was regained in May 1943 after two weeks of intense fighting and 3,829 American casualties: [14] 549 were killed, 1,148 were injured, 1,200 had severe cold injuries, 614 succumbed to disease, and 318 died of miscellaneous causes. [15] The U.S. then turned its attention to the other occupied island, Kiska. From June through August, a multitude of bombs were dropped on the tiny island, though the Japanese ultimately escaped via transport ships. After the war, the Native Attuans who had survived their internment were resettled to Atka by the federal government, which considered their home villages too remote to defend.The presence of volcanoes beneath glaciers adds to their natural splendour. In addition to having glaciers, Alaska also has volcanoes that are still active. It is impressive how well the ice and the fire get along and support one another. Britton, K.; Hillerdal, C.

Bears can show up unannounced anywhere – the heavily used Tony Knowles Coastal Trail in Anchorage is no exception.

Restaurants rarely have strict dress codes, and Alaskans don’t usually glam up for dinner. You’re better off leaving the tux and high heels at home. 9.

Another amazing study of the glaciers of Alaska is that the exact numbers of glaciers are unknown. Previous studies claim that Alaska has 10,000 glaciers, and a new study believes there are more than 27,000 glaciers in Alaska.

By the 1850s, a population of once 300,000 sea otters was almost extinct, and Russia needed money after being defeated by France and Britain in the Crimean War. The California Gold Rush showed that if gold were discovered in Alaska, Americans and Canadians would overwhelm the Russian presence in what one scholar later described as "Siberia's Siberia". [3] However, the principal reason for the sale was that the hard-to-defend colony would be easily conquered by British forces based in neighboring Canada in any future conflict, and Russia did not wish to see its archrival being next door just across the Bering Sea. Therefore, Emperor AlexanderII decided to sell the territory. The Russian government discussed the proposal in 1857 and 1858 [5] and offered to sell the territory to the United States, hoping that its presence in the region would offset the plans of Britain. However, no deal was reached, as the risk of an American Civil War was a more pressing concern in Washington. [6] [7] As the glacier breaks into different size pieces and forms new glaciers, every new study gives a new numbers glaciers. However, it is worth noting that glaciers are not always huge- an ice body covering 0.1 square kilometres of land is called a glacier. Lamplugh Glacier is the most miniature glacier in Alaska, covering 13 km of land, and you can visit it at Glacier Bay National Park. 14. Trail of Glaciers
