Anchorage is the most populous city in the US state of Alaska, with about 290,000 residents — roughly 40 percent of Alaska's total state population.

At about 61.2°N, Anchorage has extreme seasonal daylight variation: roughly 19.5 hours on the June solstice and only about 5.5 hours on the December solstice.

The 1964 magnitude-9.2 Great Alaska Earthquake (the second-most powerful earthquake ever instrumentally recorded) was centred about 120 km east of Anchorage and reshaped much of the city.
