The largest city, Anchorage, brings a taste of urban life to the wilderness, while to the south, the Kenai Peninsula offers a range of outdoor activities. Prince William Sound, a spectacular bay on the south coast, features superb scenery and wildlife-viewing. Southeast Alaska, an archipelago of stunning islands, boasts the state capital Juneau, and a host of charming towns. The vast Interior, bisected by the Alaska Range, contains Fairbanks, the state's second city, and Alaska's portion of the Klondike goldfields. Southwest Alaska combines stark volcanic landscapes with fine fishing grounds, while Arctic and Western Alaska is a pristine wilderness. Below is an overview of each of these diverse regions.
