The U.S. Department of State announces the availability of the blog "Our
Arctic Nation," an initiative of the U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic
Council to share how each state is connected to the Arctic.
The Our Arctic Nation publication, available online, will spend 2016
looking at the connections that each U.S. state enjoys with the Arctic.
Each week throughout the year, a local voice from a different corner of
America will share the reasons why his or her home state contributes to
America's identity as an Arctic nation.
The blog will end with our largest state, Alaska, one-third of which
lies above the Arctic Circle. Life above the Arctic Circle is like
nowhere else on Earth. For Alaskans and the other four million people
who inhabit Earth’s northernmost lands — many whose families have done
so for thousands of years — the Arctic is simply home: a place where
family, strong cultural traditions, and marine resources sustain life.
For scientists, the Arctic provides vital insights into the world’s
climate and ocean, as well as access to distinctive and thriving flora
and fauna. For those who seek economic advantage, it is a place where
productivity and protection must be carefully balanced. For adventurers,
artists, tourists, and others, the globe’s northernmost region offers a
source of unparalleled experiences, vistas, and inspiration.
