The Earthquake that hit Alaska in 1964 made huge changes in the land. It was the strongest earthquake ever recorded in North America.
While we are in Anchorage May 28th through June 4th we plan to learn more about this traumatic event. We will visit Earthquake Park, which has outdoor exhibits and signs. It is also an excellent place to view the incoming bore-tide, if we time the visit correctly.
We also plan to visit the Alaska Experience Theatre which includes an 180 degree wraparound multimedia show all about Alaska plus an earthquake exhibit which includes the full sensory experience of shaking, rumbling floors and building. We will let you know if this highly advertised show is a "tourist trap" or well-worth-visiting! Info: www.alaskaexperiencetheatre.com
