Alaska has the nickname: The Last Frontier. Space has the nickname: The Final Frontier (see Star Trek). By The Last Frontier, it is meant the last area of habitable land on earth that is largely unexplored. The Ocean is vastly unexplored, but not too habitable for mankind. Antarctica too is mostly unexplored, but it also is not too habitable for mankind.
A frontier is an area of unexplored land close to or near a states borders
No, frontier is any unexplored area which is why space may be the final "frontier".
Alaska is called the last frontier because although the state is inhabited by people, there are parts of the state that still remain unexplored. These areas have not been mapped or charted in an accurate way.
