The far and beautiful north: Alaskan landscapes explored from a bird's-eye view with a drone

Alaska is one of the most famous states in the United States in terms of natural wealth, due to its forests, mountains, and glaciers.

Unalaska: this is the westernmost territory that Spanish explorers reached
St. Lawrence Island, the part of Alaska that is closer to Russia than to the United States

The northernmost of the US states has an area of ​​1,717,854 square kilometers. That's an enormous size, considering that Spain has an area of ​​505,990 square kilometers. Despite this, it only has about 733,000 inhabitants, less than the population of the city of Valencia. It is one of the least densely populated states in the US, surpassed only by Wyoming and Vermont.

La poca población de Alaska se explica por su dura orografía. Este estado tiene unos 100.000 glaciares, que cubren unos 70.000 kilómetros cuadrados, como la superficie entera de Extremadura y Galicia juntas. Así mismo, los bosques cubren el 30% de su territorio y el 80% son zonas montañosas. De hecho, Alaska tiene 17 de los 20 picos más altos de Estados Unidos. Para completar este espectacular cuadro, en Alaska hay más de 3 millones de lagos, que ocupan el 13,7% de su superficie.

Joshua Turner has released a spectacular video featuring drone footage of Alaska. The footage, captured in the spring and fall of 2023, showcases the beauty of Alaska in all its splendor:
