Alaska has a wild reputation and to so many “outsiders” it is perceived almost as though it is a foreign country. We say this because the questions we repeatedly get about life in the last frontier (from grown adults) are oftentimes utterly flabbergasting. Maybe it’s because we’ve been asked these questions more times than we can count on all of our fingers and toes, but these 15 questions you can only answer if you’re from Alaska are pretty shocking to read. If you find yourself repeating them out loud you will probably engage in multiple LOL bursts.
1. I heard there are 10 men to every 1 woman in Alaska. Is that true?
Around solstice, don't count on it. As the summer fades into July and August you'll get a brief sunset. Quit worrying about it and just enjoy that decadent midnight sun!
Wait, you think they come out on a scheduled timer? On that note, why don't you just call Mother Nature or Father Time and ask them for the schedule. The truth is that they come out most frequently between midnight and 2 am. And if you have clear weather, your chances are greatly increased.
Why yes, they sure do. And the real estate market thrives only when the temperature is consistently well below the freezing mark. Really people? Of course we don't live in igloos.
Actually, these cute little critters known as moose scare us way more than bears do. Did you know that they kill more people each year than bears? Well now you do!
The sun peeps. But going to work when it's pitch black and coming home when it's pitch black can definitely wear on you. Even more reason to rock the "weekend warrior" status as often as possible!
