Alaska, The Eastern Most State In The Us

[denjac]

You probably wont be surprised to learn that Alaska is the most northern and western state in the union, but would you believe its the easternmost state ? Yep,. Because the state crosses over into the Eastern Hemisphere, its technically farther east than Maine.

I just looked at Gene's web cam and the Norfork is shut down. Now get out from behing that computer and go fishing. I might have to come down there next week and give it a go myself.

I wish I was close enough to go right now.

Technically I am right.

We are often asked the question....."What are the most northern, southern, eastern and western U.S. States?" Well, if you include all 50 states in the answer, and you should, the answers are:

• (Northern is Alaska)
• (Southern is Hawaii)
• (Eastern is Alaska)
• (Western is Alaska)

If you note the map, Alaska is clearly the most northern state, and Hawaii, at 20º North, is without doubt the most southern state. (Note how much further south it is than Florida}

As far as the most western state, note how Alaska's Aleutian Islands stretch right up to the edge of the Western Hemisphere at the 180º line of Longitude, thus the most western state in the country.

Alaska is also the answer for eastern, as the Aleutian Islands stretch across the 180º line of Longitude, into the Eastern Hemisphere, and up the edge of the Russian Federation.
