most important roads in Alaska.

metropolitan areas),
the principal access to Denali National Park and Preserve and Denali State
Park.
The Seward Highway is a highway that extends 201 kms from Seward to Anchorage.
It was completed in 1951 and runs through the scenic Kenai Peninsula, Chugach
National Forest,
Turnagain Arm, and Kenai Mountains. The Seward Highway is numbered Alaska
Route 9 (K-9)
for the first 60 kms from Seward to the Sterling Highway, and AK-1 for
the remaining distance
to Anchorage.The Seward Highway south of Anchorage requires headlights
to be on at all times.
There are two short sections of the highway that are built to freeway standards.
These include an
area near the highway's intersection with the in Palmer and a south-side
stretch in Fairbanks.
The distance between Anchorage and Fairbanks is 577 km. Distance between
Anchorage and

The 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake and Tsunam
It’s March 27, 1964, 5:36 pm in southern Alaska. A powerful 9.2 magnitude
earthquake shakes the ground for nearly five minutes.
The ensuing sunamis wipe out entire villages, and cause landslides that
send neighborhoods from suburban Anchorage into the ocean
 
(L) Road cracks caused by the earthquake (R) The power of the earthquake
tossed these railroad cars like pick-up-sticks in Seward, Alaska.
