Ambergris is a byproduct of the Sperm Whale. They are found in all oceans of the world, therefore it is possible that some ambergris could wash up on shore in Alaska. (although, if you find it, you would not be able to profit from it because of protections from the endangered sea mammals act)
Ambergris is a substance found in the digestive tract of sperm whales.
Ambergris is a natural waste product from whales, and it may be found (rarely) at the tide line on a beach. Have a crack at Ambergris on wikipedia.org.

The whales were targeted for ambergris.
Yes. However, such finds are rare anywhere in the world.
The Ambergris Element was created on 1973-12-01.
Ambergris is only produced by sperm whales. It's a secretion from the intestines, and may be formed to ease the passage of hard objects through the digestive system (giant squid beaks have been found embedded in Ambergris).Ambergris is usually found on coastal beaches or floating on the sea after being passed as fecal matter or vomited (if a mass is too large to pass through the intestines). It may also be found in the abdomens of dead specimens (as described in Moby Dick).Historically, Ambergris has been used as a perfume base, but in the 1970s t was banned from use in many countries, including the United States, because of its origin within a vulnerable whale species.
There is no set price for ambergris. Depending on the size, it can be worth thousands of dollars.
