What is spring time in alaska?

Springtime in Alaska brings a mix of snow, ice, sun, and longer days. The snow starts to melt, and the ice starts to break up on the rivers and lakes. Temperatures start to warm up, but it is not uncommon for there to be snowfall. Many animals, such as bears and moose, start to emerge from their winter hibernation and are often spotted. The longer days bring more sunlight, and it is not uncommon for there to be 18 to 20 hours of daylight. Springtime in Alaska is also a great time to go skiing, hiking, and fishing. However, it can also be a muddy season due to all the snow melting.
