Anchorage is one of the main gateways to the Arctic and a critical logistics and communications hub. With the end of the U.S. Chairmanship of the Arctic Council, Alaska faces new options in addressing the challenges and opportunities of the Arctic. Learn more about what the state is doing and what Alaskans and the Anchorage community can do to advance Alaska's interests.
