Alaska Air Ambulance
Alaska is the largest state in the United States, located in the far northwest region of North America. Known for its vast wilderness, glaciers, and wildlife, Alaska is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers because of its options for visitors to explore the wilderness on land, sea, or air. Some of the popular outdoor activities in Alaska include hiking, fishing, hunting, kayaking, skiing, and snowboarding. Visitors can also take a scenic flight over the mountains, glaciers, and wildlife, or go on a whale watching tour. In addition, Alaska has a rich Native Alaskan culture, and visitors can learn about the history and traditions of the indigenous people through museums, cultural centers, and guided tours. Other cultural attractions in Alaska include the Alaska Native Heritage Center, the Anchorage Museum, and the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race. More than 2.26 million visitors travel to Alaska yearly. These adventurers most likely want to experience everything Alaska has to offer. Unfortunately, with that comes the potential health risks resulting in the need for medical transportation.
