Every time you think to yourself that the frontier is gone, remember: Alaska exists.
The land of truly YOLO pilots. Glacier Pilot: The Story of Bob Reeve is a great book about one of the early ones in AK.
- coding123 4y agoEvery time someone advertises Alaska like this, the frontier disappears a little.
- giantg2 4y agoDon't really matter. As the population increases and is increasingly urban, those values and restrictions are imposed on frontier as well.
- xwdv 4y agoAgreed. Alaska is pretty much fully mapped out, there’s no real secrets out there anymore.
- mLuby 4y agoThe deep ocean is the last unmapped frontier on Earth.
- mediaman 4y agoAlaska's population is lower than it was 7 years ago. More people have moved away than moved in every year for the past 10 years.

- nickstinemates 4y agoI just spent a month there in the heart of winter. Explored from Anchorage to Chena Hot Springs, out east in Tok, and back through the glaciers. Was an incredible experience of immense beauty. Highly recommended.
- refurb 4y agoIt is pretty incredible. I remember exploring up north of Fairbanks and you’d be a nice paved two lane road. Not a tiny road, but think secondary highway. Then you get to the end of it and it just stops - nothing beyond it but wilderness. Pretty wild compared to even the Western US where the road network even in the empty parts of Nevada is pretty good and you can cross through it. In Alaska some roads just end because there is nothing beyond it.
