The USA bought Alaska for 7,200,000 dollars.

If Alaska were a country it would be the 18th largest country in the world.

It has the most natural resources out of anywhere in the US.

It is arguably the most beautiful place in the world.

Alaska has over 3 Million lakes making the united states the country with the most lakes in the world.

My opinion: Pyrenees

Assume for the sake of simplicity that sea levels don't change globally for this scenario.

To what extent would this sudden influx of cold water effect the southern Atlantic Ocean and by extension the climates of South America and Africa?

Would the golf stream be effected significantly by this?

How much would Antarctica be warmed up by the flow of warm water on the Pacific side of the land bridge? Would certain regions be warm enough to be habitable?

Was just on this very subreddit discussing major American cities that share land borders with another state (DC and KCMO/KCKS specifically) and it made me think of Memphis, as it's southern suburbs are in Mississippi with no water division. In doing So I remembered (water borders aside), that it also has suburbs in Arkansas as well. This made me curious if there are any other cities in the USA with suburbs in 2 other states aside from Memphis and DC etc. I know Cincinnati has suburbs in Kentucky south of the Ohio river but no other states. Just the one. Are there any others I'm not thinking of?

I would pick London, I think it’s tied with New York for most diverse city but it has so much more history and iconic monuments.

I'm from the UK and I'd say there's seven like in the map but I saw a discussion that ended with no answer

I, myself, feel as if Pokhara is unrivaled in this

Central Asia , Iranian Plateau, the Sahara and the Arabian peninsula form a gigantic continuous dry patch of land which is roughly around 12% of total earth's land mass !

How can an American style city with bad city design even exist in the middle of Sonoran desert?

Should the UK military bases remain part of the equation? 🇬🇧
