Alaska, the Great Land

Its name conjures up wild and untamed images. Yet acting as home to over 640,000 people with modern amenities like many other cities, Alaska holds a bustling tourism and cargo industry with a cosmopolitan workforce that offers an exciting place to live. That teamed with an outdoor "playground" with some of the worlds' greatest scenery, fishing and recreational opportunities makes Alaska a place like no other. Welcome to Northerngirl.net celebrating the diversity and enrichment of the 49th state.

Through their Eyes

 

"This is the Law of the Yukon, that only the Strong shall thrive; That surely the Weak shall perish, and only the Fit survive. Dissolute, damned and despairful, crippled and palsied and slain, This is the Will of the Will of the Yukon, - Lo, how she makes it plain! "

 

~Robert W. Service, Songs of a Sourdough (1907)
