In addition to a world class collection of Native American artwork, the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport has a wonderful collection of taxidermy animals.

There’s this polar bear,

a musk ox,

Trumpeter Swans,

and assorted other wildlife offering travelers a taste of the wildlife that’s out there way up north.

My favorites, though, are the record setting halibut that’s 9 feet 5 inches long and this cute, albino beaver.
