Alaska

Yes, It sits on the dock in downtown Juneau.

The United States of America agreed to buy Alaska from Emperor Alexander II of Russia on March 20, 1867, for about $7.2 million dollars. A little known fact is that the Russians also agreed to forgive a debt of around $5 million dollars that the US owed them from the revolutionary and civil wars. The United States actually took possession of Alaska on October 18, 1867.

China and England also were interested in purchasing Alaska, and are even rumored to have offered better prices. However, Russia didn't want China to have direct access to a fur-producing land (the main export to the Orient from Russia was Siberian furs) and Russia was afraid that England was colonizing too much of the world, and selling them Alaska was literally inviting them to their doorstep.

In the Bering Strait.

Yes. There is a highway from Alaska through Canada and across the lower 48 states.

There is one tree in Kotzebue National Forest. It was planted by the service men who worked at the radar station there in Kotzebue during the cold war. The tree was surrounded by a white picket fence.

The radar station is part of the DEW (Distant Early Warning) line erected in the 1950's. The tree still stands there, surrounded by its white picket fence and an elegant sign announcing that it is the "Kotzebue National Forest". It grows very slowly because the ambient temperature is quite cool. It is, in fact, well north of the timber line, and in an area where trees do not naturally grow. The sign shows a rather more developed tree than can, in fact, be found in the entire forest... as demonstrated below. The DEW station is s few hundred yards to the left of this photo. Incidentally, camping is not allowed in the forest.

The center of Kotzebue is about 24 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

"Tundra" is an enviormental feature. There is tundra in both western and northern Alaska. I believe there may even be tundra in Anchorage. To find large amounts of tundra you would have to travel either beyond the mountain ranges to the west of Anchorage or farther than Fairbanks to the north of Anchorage.

Nobody actually build it. It is a piece of land that connects Alaska to Russia It is a us national park which I heard was beautiful. But I also learned for years they have been wanting to build a tunnel or a bridge that you can cross from Alaska to Russia but it is going to cost over $100 billion dollars. And I don't know if I would want to cross a bridge or tunnel that is over 60 miles long.
