Experience the untamed Alaskan wilderness at its very best, during the 150th anniversary year of The Final Frontier becoming US territory. On the 30th March 1867 the Treaty of Cession was signed, agreeing the sale of the Alaskan Territory from Russia to the United States - celebrated with a formal ceremony in Sitka on the 18th October of the same year, when the Russian flag was lowered and the American flag raised – now known as Alaska Day.
