We must speak of the climates rather than the climate of Alaska, for different parts of the Territory differ in climate, not in degree only, but in kind. The Pacific coast has a climate of its own, the coast of Bering Sea has an- other, and both differ widely from that of the interior. The climate of the Pacific coast, from Portland Canal in the extreme southeast to Attu Is...land at the west end of the Aleutian chain, may be characterized, in a word, as * chilly.
