Alaska is the largest state in the United States, with an area of 586,000 square miles -- roughly twice that of Texas and roughly one fifth the size of the lower 48 states combined.
Alaska is part of the "Pacific Ring of Fire," a string of volcanoes that stretches from Asia into North America.
Mount Spurr and MountRedoubt, about 100 miles west of Anchorage, erupted in the 1990s.The Mount Spurr eruption in 1992 brought activity to a standstill when an inch of ash rained down on the city.
Alaska, the largest and most northerly of the states of the Union, lies in the extreme north-west of the North American subcontinent, separated from the Asiatic land mass by the Bering Strait and Bering Sea.
Geography Alaska is made up of three main regions: a narrow southern coastal strip, with the Panhandle to the south-east and the Aleutians to the south-west; the interior plains and tablelands; and the Arctic North.
The topography of south-eastern Alaska is dominated by the Coast Mountains, a range that suffered folding at a geologically recent period and is slashed by numerous tectonic faults.
