About Anchorage

Anchorage sits on the southern coast of Alaska, on a broad plain between Cook Inlet and the Chugach Mountains. It is the state's principal city and a gateway for travel to the wider Alaskan wilderness. Mountains, glaciers and wildlife are never far from town, and the city blends everyday urban life with a strong outdoor culture. The Alaska Zoo, home to animals from northern regions, is one of the best-known local attractions.

What the camera shows

The camera is set at the Alaska Zoo, so its picture is most useful as a window onto the local weather and light rather than a fixed landmark. Depending on the view, you may notice snow cover, cloud over the mountains or the long low light typical of high latitudes. Late spring and early autumn often offer the most changeable skies, while winter brings short days and a chance of clear, cold conditions.

Climate and getting around

Anchorage has a subarctic climate with cold winters and cool summers, and summer days are very long. The most popular time to visit is June through August, when most outdoor attractions are open. Nearby live cameras include Anchorage, Anchorage - Alaska Railroad, Whittier and Steetawk, which can help you compare conditions across the region.
