Where is Alaska in relationship to Russia?
Yes, Alaska is the North America continent's western-most portion. So it certainly is a component of the North America continent - its relative size compares to 1/5th of the contiguous U.S. states (or almost twice the size of Texas).
Since it is a part of the continental U.S., it is often misstated as not continental. Since Alaska is part of the North American continent, it is more precise to state Alaska isn't contiguous to the U.S. - meaning it doesn't share a common border with its sister states.
Alaska instead shares a contiguous border with Canada to the east and south (the Yukon Territory and the Province of British Columbia, respectively). To the west of Alaska lies the country of Russia. Dissimilar to Alaska, the only state in the Union which is neither continental nor drivable to the 48 contiguous states is Hawaii'.
