Fact text
- Anchorage is almost perfectly equidistant from New York City, Tokyo, and Murmansk, Russia, if you fly straight over the North Pole.
- Nearly 90 percent of the entire inhabited Northern Hemisphere is within a 10-hour flight of Anchorage, making it one of the most connected cities on Earth.
- The city's name traces back to a grumpy Captain Cook, who named a nearby waterway 'River Turnagain' after running his ship aground on a sandbar there.
- Early Anchorage residents once voted to rename their city 'Alaska City,' but the territorial government simply said no and kept 'Anchorage.'
- Anchorage's first airport runway doubled as a community golf course, locals were teeing off on the same strip used for takeoffs and landings.
