Alaska is known for glaciers and snow — but parts of it are covered in lush rainforests. Along the southern coast, moist Pacific air rises over mountains, cools, and releases heavy rainfall. This creates the Tongass National Forest, one of the largest temperate rainforests on Earth. In Alaska, ice and rainforest exist side by side — shaped by ocean currents, mountains, and constant rain. #fblifestyle | U.S Life Scene
