Alaska and Hawaii are non-contiguous states, meaning they do not border any other state.

Alaska is a continental state, however, as it is located on the North American continent. It occupies the Northwestern corner of North America and borders Canada to the east.

Hawaii is not a continental state, as it is an island state. It is located in Oceania, practically midway between North America and Asia.
