The State of Alaska is bounded by the Arctic Ocean on the north, by the Gulf of Alaska and the Pacific Ocean on the south, by the Canadian provinces of Yukon and British Columbia on the east, and by the Bering Sea and Russia on the west.

The Alaska Marine Highway System and the Alcan Highway (which links Alaska to western Canada and the lower 48 states) have helped to make Alaska more accessible to visitors. Furthermore, the roadway adjoining the Trans-Alaska pipeline has made it possible to drive all the way to the Arctic Ocean shoreline in northern Alaska. However, this 414-mile gravel road is only passable during certain seasons, and most auto rental companies will not permit their vehicles to be driven on this road. Other roads and highways are available as well, but many can only be used during the Summer months.
Cruise ships regularly visit coastal Alaska, and provide views of the glaciers. For more Alaska travel and tourism information, visit the official Alaska tourism site and Alaska Atlas.
