In 1867 the British-North America Act established a monarchy state in Canada. Then, the U.S. Secretary of State William Seward urged his government to quickly purchase Alaska from Russia for the negotiated price of $7.2 million. Alaska is the 49th U.S. State.
You can EXPERIENCE THE AURORA overhead around 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Marvel as the Northern Lights shimmer and glisten overhead through time-lapse footage captured in the Arctic Circle.
