Vanderbilt Hill
Vanderbilt Hill occupies a forested slope above Auke Bay on the north side of Juneau, in southeastern Alaska. Below it, Auke Bay forms a protected arm of the Inside Passage, with a working harbor, marina and low-lying shoreline set between wooded hills and island-dotted water. This is a maritime edge of Alaska's capital city rather than downtown Juneau: development follows the coastal road, while dense temperate rainforest covers the surrounding slopes. Auke Bay is closely associated with the University of Alaska Southeast's Juneau campus, which lies nearby at Auke Lake. The broader area is part of the traditional homeland of the Aakʼw Ḵwáan, a Tlingit people of the Juneau region. From here, the channels lead toward Lynn Canal, one of Southeast Alaska’s defining waterways.

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.
