Alaska's Nickname:The Last Frontier, The Land of the Midnight Sun
Origin of Alaska's Nickname:Alaska, admitted as the 49th state to the union, is thought of as "America's Last Frontier" because of its distance from the lower 48 states and because of its rugged landscape and climate. “Land of the Midnight Sun” refers to Alaska's northern locations where, for a period of time, in the summer, the sun never completely dips below the horizon. The sun is visible at midnight. Parts of Alaska are bathed in 24 hours of daylight.
