Alaska (/əˈlæskə/ ⓘ ə-LASS-kə) is a non-contiguous U.S. state on the northwest extremity of North America. Part of the Western United States region, it is one of the two non-contiguous U.S. states, alongside Hawaii. Alaska is also considered to be the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost (the Aleutian Islands cross the 180th meridian into the eastern hemisphere) state in the United States. It borders the Canadian territory of Yukon and the province of British Columbia to the east. It shares a western maritime border, in the Bering Strait, with Russia’s Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The Chukchi and Beaufort Seas of the Arctic Ocean lie to the north, and the Pacific Ocean lies to the south. Technically, it is a semi-exclave of the U.S., and is the largest exclave in the world.
Alaska is the largest U.S. state by area, comprising more total area than the following three largest states of Texas, California, and Montana combined, and is the seventh-largest subnational division in the world. It is the third-least populous and most sparsely populated U.S. state; however, with a population of 740,133 as of 2024, it is the most populous territory in North America located mostly north of the 60th parallel, with more than quadruple the combined populations of Northern Canada and Greenland.[6] The state contains the four largest cities in the United States by area, including the state capital of Juneau. The state’s most populous city is Anchorage, and approximately half of Alaska’s residents live within its metropolitan area.

Brooks Falls Brown Bears live webcams ….
Watch salmon leaping up the falls, while brown bears compete with each other for the best fishing spots. The largest and most successful bears can catch and eat more than 30 salmon (over 120 pounds) per day! Bears are most abundant at Brooks Falls in late June and July during the sockeye salmon migration, but also keep an eye out for bald eagles, lots of gulls, and maybe even the occasional wolf trying to partake in the salmon buffet.
Brooks Falls Brown Bears Low webcams ...
Enjoy a bear’s eye view of Brooks Falls. This camera is situated at ground level on a major bear highway leading to and from the waterfall. You see what a bear might see as it approaches the southwest bank of Brooks Falls.
This camera switches between two camera angles near the outlet of Brooks River, Lower River North to Lower River East, providing unprecedented views of migrating salmon and the bears fishing for them.
Just 100 yards downstream from Brooks Falls, the Riffles cam overlooks an area of the river frequented by mother bears, their playful cubs, and wary sub-adult bears. Watch as they play, fish, and eat! In September, the riffles area is packed with spawning salmon.
Located near the outlet of Brooks River in Alaska’s Katmai National Park, the lower river cam overlooks where the Brooks River meets Naknek Lake. During early summer, it is a favorite spot of mother bears and cubs looking to avoid the competition at Brooks Falls. In September and October, as salmon spawn and die, the lower river becomes an important place for bears to fish before they begin winter hibernation.
