Alaska and Hawaii are not connected to the contiguous United States due to geographic and historical factors. Alaska is located in the far northwest of North America, separated from the other states by Canada, while Hawaii is an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean. Their unique locations and the historical circumstances of their annexation and statehood led to their separation from the mainland U.S.
