Its hard to tell regarding who discovered Alaska when in reality they were the Indians, Aleuts, and Eskimos who lived there before the first white man came.

Vitus Jonassen Bering is considered to be the first outsider having discovered Alaska. He was a Danish explorer by origin who discoveredthe place in 1728 on a voyage from Siberia while serviing Russia's navy. He traveled along the lines of St. Lawrence Island. Reports say he was unable to reaach Alaska's mainland.
