Glaciers, wildlife, and The Last Frontier. These are likely the first three things that come to people’s minds when somebody mentions Alaska.
However, there is much more to the 49th state of the United States. And what better way to know about them as an outsider than through funny memes? Here are some excellent examples, courtesy of the Alaska MEMES Facebook page.
Sure, you may crack up at a few of them, but if you’re not a local, these images would be your best orientation. Enjoy scrolling, and hopefully, you learn a thing or two today.

It becomes the most important statistic of the day! Announced with every weather broadcast.

Repeating myself, but as a Scandinavian - I feel this in my core. It's either never ending darkness in the winter or (vampire obliterating) white nights
Here are some other interesting facts about Alaska that many of these memes don’t mention. For one, 82% of its communities are not accessible by road and depend on aviation for year-round access.
To get around or have the necessary goods delivered to each household, people rely on small planes, boats, or snowmobiles.

A thousand times YES... The darkness during wintertime in also my part of the world (Scandinavia) is soul consuming. When it's the 20th/21st of December and one knows that the sun will grace us with its presence again - relief

I'd put South Carolina and Georgia in "League of the South". Then Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee into a new country called Appalachia. North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware belong in a country called "Atlantea" but it would be closely aligned with the Republic of New England. Finally, split California in half. Southern California would join with Nevada, and New Mexico to form "Greater New Mexico". Arizona would become part of Texas (doesn't matter that they don't touch). And the rest of Pacifica, joins with British Columbia to form Cascadia, which is also aligned with Atlantea and New England.
Because of Alaska’s remoteness, groceries cost way more than they do on the mainland United States. However, prices are higher within the state. According to The New Republic, prices in the remote village of Unalakleet are 80% higher than in Anchorage.
For more context, a Campbell's tomato soup in Anchorage may cost $1.69. In Unalakleet, it is $4.25. Apple juice, meanwhile, may cost $3.29 in the city, but has a staggering price tag of $10.65 un the village.
Alaska may be perceived as a gloomy place because of the dark winters, but the summertime becomes the exact opposite. From mid-May to September, some areas of the state experience 24 hours of sunlight for weeks at a time.
The city of Utqiagvik, for one, has 84 days of continuous daylight in the summer, while Fairbanks has around 70 days of 24-hour sunlight.
The reason for Alaska’s continuous daylight is due to the Earth’s tilt. Since the planet is angled about 23.5 degrees, some parts receive different amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
Alaska is closer to the Arctic Circle. And the farther north you go, the longer the daylight lasts during the summertime.

I've actually heard them and that's both an amazing as well as a weird experience. "The Northern Lights can make sounds audible to the human ear, though it is rare. Observers have reported faint cracking, clapping, hissing, or swishing noises during intense displays. Researchers confirm these sounds are real and usually occur 70–100 meters above the ground, often during quiet, cold nights." As per BBC

Ugh, do I have to? 1 day ago
I remember when we went on vacation in Alaska, salmon EVERYWHERE. And so many d**d ones just lying around. I'm sure I would have found it very appetizing if I was a bear.

That's a global thing, surely? I know around here people park in their driveway as the garage is where the chest freezer, shelves full of stuff, and the cat basket all live.

Upvote for D**k Prenteke! His '2 Alone in the Wilderness' home movies are the best! Absolutely fascinating how1 man can build a cabin and everything he needs, and hunt and gather for himself. Highly recommend!

In the autumn, that Chugach Mountain range turns brilliant gold during the three-hour sunset.
