Study in Alaska

Shrouded away at the north-west corner of the North American landmass, a large number of miles from alternate US states and a short distance from Siberia, Alaska is a colossal, ice-impacted hinterland.

In the north of the state, where things get truly compelling, there's no sunshine for a noteworthy allotment of the year, and the coldest temperature ever recorded was an icy -62°C.
