RISK The Series: Alaska
Alaska /?'læsk?/ is the largest state in the United States by area. It is situated in the northwest extremity of the North American continent, with Canada to the east, the Arctic Ocean to the north, and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south, with Russia further west across the Bering Strait.
Alaska has 39 mountain ranges and 17 of the 20 highest peaks in North America. Major mountain chains and mountain ranges are the Alaska Range, which includes Mount McKinley as well as several volcanic peaks that can be seen across Cook Inlet from Anchorage; the Brooks Range in northwest Alaska; the Chugach Range around Anchorage; the St. Elias Mountains including the 18,000-foot Mount St. Elias (North America's second highest peak, Mount Logan, at 19,545 feet, is located on the Canadian side of the St. Elias Mountains); and the Fairweather Range, which stretches down into the southeast panhandle.
Alaska is part of the "Pacific Ring of Fire," a string of volcanoes that stretches from Asia into North America. It has more than 100 volcanoes and volcanic fields, many of them in the Aleutian Islands. A 1912 eruption created the "Valley of 10,000 Smokes" on the Alaska Peninsula and was the largest 20th century eruption in the world. Mount Spurr and Mount Redoubt, about 100 miles west of Anchorage, erupted in the 1990s.The Mount Spurr eruption in 1992 brought activity to a standstill when an inch of ash rained down on the city.
The Yukon River, which originates in Canada, is the third longest river in the United States, winds for 1,875 miles through Alaska. Alaska has more than 3,000 rivers and 3 million lakes, leaving Minnesota, "land of 10,000 lakes," far behind.
Southeast Alaska, with its Inside Passage familiar to cruise ship passengers, includes more than 1,000 islands as well as a rainforest. The 16.8-million-acre Tongass National Forest is the largest forest managed by the U.S. Forest Service.

************************************************************************ ******* NOT ALL CACHES WILL HAVE COORDS IN THEM. PLEASE DO NOT PUT CLUES OF HAVING FOUND OR HAVING NOT FOUND COORDS IN YOUR LOGS. THESE LOGS WILL BE DELETED. BELOW IS HOW YOU WILL FIND THE COORDS ********************** ************************************************************************
One Territory out of each country will give you 1 part of the coordinates. For example a North American territory may give you N 00 00.000 for Secret Mission #? and an Asian territory may give you W 00 00.000 for the same mission. It will look like this when you find the code.
Risk The Series: Secret Mission #1 N 00 00.000
