We created Alaskan Nature to share the beauty and wonders that the great state of Alaska has to offer. The word Alaska is from the Aleut Indian word "alaxsxaq" or "agunalaksh" that mean the mainland or shore. Alaska has an estimated 100,000 glaciers, which cover almost 5 percent of the state. In fact  over half of the world's glaciers are found in Alaska. Alaska is also home to 80 percent of all the active volcanoes in the U.S. with over 70 potentially active volcanoes in Alaska.  The most violent volcanic eruption of the century took place in 1912 when Novarupta Volcano erupted, creating the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes.

We are located in Citrus County, the geographic center of Florida. Decades of community determination have saved the precious coastal marshes, the pure, clean-running springs and the rivers and lakes from the development and pollution that are so prevalent elsewhere. Today, as in centuries past, a visitor to our area  can find Florida nature at it's best.  From the saltwater pursuits in the Gulf of Mexico, springs, rivers and subtropical fauna and flora in Citrus County’s west side, and upland terrain drifting down to large freshwater lakes crying out for anglers, swimmers and boaters over on the east side, this is truly a part of the nature coast you will want to experience. 

To celebrate Black History month, Black History honors the dedication and work of the many African Americans who have made our country so great. From the Revolutionary War to the election of our first African American President Black History in America has information and photos of distinguished African Americans, like John Coltrane, Sojourner Truth, and Medgar Evers.
