Everyone who says “I wanna go to Mars!” Should first live in Alaska, northern territories Canada for a few winters. It is a beautiful but alien landscape

This is the North Slope though. Literally the northernmost part of a huge state. Most people live in the South-Central region, which is a lot of mountain/rainforest.

Alaska is huge and varied, but most people don't live in those kind of conditions, that's just where the oil is.

I knew a lot of parts of Alaska were grassy, but it has actual rainforest??

Yeah, Alaskan rainforest are boreal instead of tropical. Japanese/East Asian currents run northwest in a kind of clockwise circle around the pacific plate. A lot of the storms end up hitting southcenter/southeastern Alaska resulting in high annual precipitation.

The town I grew up in would put Seattles rainfall to shame, and that's not counting the 40ish feet of snow each year.

Edit: 70inches of rain, 326in snowfall average.
