Alaska

Valdez, Alaska: alaskan moose Legends & movies: One of my favorite things to learn about may very well be myths and legends. Alaska has 2 myths/legends that I know of. One movie/book/Comic book that I know of is called "30 days of night", now this doesn't have to do with valdez, I thought I would add it. It takes place in Barrow,Alaska. (a real place in Alaska) In the movie the characters are attacked by vampires. Some people in Valdez believe in the Thunderbird, A giant eagle, And some have even caimed to have seen it. sunlight: In Valdez, Alaska during a part of the winter it is dark and only light out 3-4 hours a day. And during parts of the year it has 48 days of daylight. Because the earth is on a tilt, the position of Valdez causes the city to have very little sunlight. Plants and foods: In Valdez, Alaska the natives, Eskimos, make a special ice cream, but the main ingredient isn't cream or milk. It's made from moose fat, Crisco, and berries. talk about one of the weirdest things to find in your freezer. Other dishes include wild berries, Alaskan king crab, and the Alaskan salmon. Plants that are grown in Alaska are just like the ones here. Vegetables actually thrive a lot better there than here. These plants include Brussel sprouts,brocolli, cabbage...  Summer/fall/winter/spring: The seasons in Valdez start and end at the same time as ours, but the temperatures are completly different. Most people believe that the summers in Alaska are cool, but really they can hit temperatures of up to 90 degrees F. In winter the temperatures can average at about 15-30 degrees F. Spring tempuratures average at 23-59 degrees f. Fall averages at about 40-29 degrees F. Becuase my city is close to an ocean (The Pacific) it is warmer than other places in Alaska, that would explain the 50 or 90 degree weather. The summers in valdez feel almost exactly like the ones here, but winter can get 5 degrees colder than the winters in pennsylvania. Sometimes it snows during spring time and some times it doesn't. Fall is the same as spring, sometimes it snows and sometimes it doesn't.

Valdez is a mountainous region, this means that the city would have lower winds than places without mountains. My city is 4297.153 miles away from the eqautor Miami Florida is a hot and sunny region, and Valdez Alaska is snowy region. Our two cities are different becuase they are 3896.490 miles away from each other. shrew bear ribbon seal Sources: www. wrcc.dri.edu [|www.daftlogic.com] [|www.Alaskatrecker.com] www. alaskberrieproducts.com
