Polar Bears and Musk Ox at Anchorage Airport
Posted on August 13th, 2010 by Harriet Baskas
Ted Stevens, the former senator from Alaska who died in a plane crash earlier this week, had the pleasure of seeing a lot of things named for him while he was alive.
The Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport is one of them.
The terminal offers free wireless Internet access and is home to the Alaska Sports Hall of Fame and an impressive display of Alaska Native Art.

It’s been a while since I’ve been up there, but I’m planning to head that way soon.
If for no other reason than to wander the terminal checking out the airport’s collection of taxidermy Black Bears, Kodiak Brown Bears, Polar Bears and a Musk Ox.
Who says airports must be boring?
