About location

Built around a railroad construction camp at Ship Creek, Anchorage grew into Alaska’s largest city. It spreads across the upper Cook Inlet on a broad lowland, with the Chugach Mountains rising to the east. Transport remains central to its role: Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport serves passengers and major air-cargo operations, while the Port of Alaska supplies much of the state by sea. Downtown brings together high-rises, civic institutions and the Anchorage Museum, whose collections interpret Alaska’s art, history and science. The Tony Knowles Coastal Trail follows the shoreline, linking urban neighbourhoods with waterfront parkland. Anchorage is both an urban centre and a practical base for travel across south-central Alaska.

Built around the homelands of Indigenous peoples and later linked by fur-trade and mining routes, Alaska grew into the largest state in the United States. These coordinates lie in the Interior, where the Tanana River crosses a country of broad lowlands, boreal forest and long winters. Alaska extends from the Gulf of Alaska to the Arctic Ocean and includes Denali, North America’s highest mountain. Athabascan communities remain central to the living cultural fabric of the interior. The Alaska Railroad reached Fairbanks in 1923, helping connect this remote region with the coast. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Interior Alaska.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
