Yeah I'm gonna need to see a map. I don't understand this.
Alaska is the north-most US state, and it goes so far west that it actually pokes into the eastern hemisphere.
Hereβs a map for the Canada one.
Ha! And here's me trying to picture how Maine can be called the West-most state!
Whoever wrote up that canada one doesn't understand the word "entirely"
Alaska crosses the 180th Meridian, which is the "wraparound" point between east and west.
