Alaska is the largest of all 50 states in terms of land mass. In fact, it is so big you could fit Texas inside Alaska not once, but twice. Despite its impressive size, Alaska still has the third-smallest population in the country. With months of darkness in winter and daylight in summ...
The geography of Alaska is marked by its vast size, beautiful landscapes, and expansive wilderness. With a land mass more than twice the size of Texas (the second largest state), Alaska is the largest of all states, covering 665,384 square miles. Alaska is also made up of 14.24% water,...

That movement causes ice to break off and fall into the sea in a process known as calving, which is not related as much to temperature as it is to the physics of the glacier's thickness and the steepness of the land mass it crosses. Ice chunks the size of three-story buildings often...
(or 1854). All of these waves were significant in size, but shoreline evidence for all of them was removed by the 1958 wave. Mr. Miller was in Alaska when the July 1958 wave occurred and flew to Lituya Bay the following day. He took the photographs shown above in July and August and...
