Map of Alaska

Alaska is the largest of the fifty states in the United States of America, and one of the two non-contiguous states alongside Hawaii. It includes a peninsula in northwestern North America, and much of the volcanic Aleutian Islands. It has been featured in some kaiju media, including the Godzilla franchise.

History

Showa era

Godzilla vs. Megalon

American underground nuclear testing was being carried out in Asuka Island in the Aleutian Islands. Earthquakes of the test passed the Pacific Ocean, leaving Monster Island devastated and damaging the capital city of Seatopia, the latter of which angered its people and prompted their plans to invade the surface with their god, Megalon.

"The Firebird"

The Firebird amongst a volcano on Pitkin

On one of the Aleutian Islands, Pitkin, geologists analyze seismic activity, when a once dormant volcano erupts, prompting panic from them. Meanwhile, the Firebird, massive reptilian bird monster, emerges from its crater for a brief moment with a roar.

The crew of the Calico investigate the occurrence, and rescue the two geologists before they can perish in the lava. With the concern of more eruptions along the Aleutian Islands predicted, the Calico Crew descend down a tunnel to the core of the volcano to find the source of the seismic activity. The crew finds what they are searching for when they are attacked by the Fire Bird, who emerges from the magma within. The crew retreats back up the tunnel, pursued by the Firebird, before they call Godzilla to fight the threat. The two clash with each other, before Godzilla falls off of a cliff, and the Firebird flies off to lay her eggs.

"End of the Line"

After an attack by a Giant Turtle during a romantic cruise off the Alaskan coast, Nick Tatopoulos and Audrey Timmonds washed up on a deserted island in the Aleutian Islands. As they ventured onto the island further, they are attacked by the Giant Turtle once again, but Komodithrax appeared and defeated the turtle, trapping him in ice after firing an atomic breath on the tops of an ice sheet. H.E.A.T. and Godzilla arrive on the island, and Godzilla and Komodithrax perform a mating dance, with Godzilla serving as a surrogate father to Komodithrax's egg. However, the U.S. Military sees this as a concern, and call for an air strike on the island, thus H.E.A.T. intervened with a H.E.A.T. Copter to stop them from firing on Komodithrax, while drawing Godzilla away from the island. The situation heated up when the Giant Turtle attacked again. Komodithrax was incapacitated this time, and the turtle took her egg. Godzilla returned to the nest found his mate knocked out, and went after the Giant Turtle to reclaim the egg. After a brief battle, the Giant Turtle bested Godzilla as well. However, Komodithrax returned, and was able to flip the Giant Turtle into a fissure in the ice, but she too fell through in the process along with her egg. Godzilla mourned the loss of his mate and his to be child, before Anthony Hicks calls off the air strike, and Godzilla and H.E.A.T. leave the island.

"Secrets and Lies"

A Frost Vark appears in a snowy tundra of Alaska

After recalling where Hiroshi Randa was last tracked on plane and comparing coordinates on Bill Randa's map, Cate and Kentaro Randa, May Olowe-Hewitt, Lee Shaw, and Du-Ho flew to Alaska to find Hiroshi, Cate and Kentaro's father. After a rough but successful landing amid a storm, the group found the scattered remains of Hiroshi's plane and a nearby tent to find clues to where he went. Suddenly, a Frost Vark attacked them, damaging Du-Ho's plane with a swipe of its claws as Du-Ho attempted to help them escape, and freezing the front of the vehicle and Du-Ho with it as the mole-like Titan inhaled all of the heat within that area.

"Parallels and Interiors"

Lee, Cate, May, and Kentaro fled from the Frost Vark as it continued to attack. Kentaro notices a nearby flare gun and attempts to shoot it at the monster despite Lee's insistence on running. Kentaro managed to distract the Titan on accident with a shot from a flare gun when trying to shoot it, allowing the group to hide in a cave nearby. The Frost Vark left after briefly searching from them, but the tremors it produced during its hunt broke ice beneath May, exposing her leg to freezing water below. The group moved onward at a slower pace for May in order to help her overcome hypothermia. As night set, Lee noted that heading northwest would be most likely route to encounter people. Kentaro mentioned a large round building near plane, but found he was the only one who noticed it. After climbing a hill, the group could not spot the building. The group split up; Kentaro went to look for the building, while the others went towards a blue light Cate spotted. Kentaro falls prone to the cold; meanwhile, Cate, May, and Lee found themselves in the same valley the Frost Vark had attacked them in, with Lee determining that the light behind the hill was caused by the Frost Vark. The three set a fire in the area to warm may; meanwhile, Kentaro found the spherical building amid hallucinations of his father, and went inside, coming across pencil shavings and a repaired radio as evidence of Hiroshi's presence. As a helicopter approached the valley where Lee, Cate, and May were, the Frost Vark attacked the trio once again. Lee was able to distract the Titan with fire, allowing the three to reach the helicopter after it landed, and they were reunited with Kentaro. The helicopter flies away, narrowly missing the Frost Vark attempting a lunge at it, while Lee notices a portal to the Hollow Earth. When the helicopter lands, the group are met by Monarch members Tim and Michelle Duvall, backed by armed guards.

"The Way Out"

Following the landing, the group was detained in separate cells at Monarch's Alaskan command post. Duvall talked with May, mentioning that the Frost Vark was a newly identified Titan, while revealing May's true identity, and left a car by May's bed should the latter decide to help Monarch. Duvall, Tim, and Deputy Director Natalia Verdugo speak with each other; they eventually had Cate, Kentaro, and May released, but kept Lee detained at the command post. Tim dropped Cate, Kentaro, and May off at Nome Airport, leaving them new passports and other travel essentials, and warning them to return to their old lives and leave it all behind before he left with Duvall. The three decide to remain together, and leave for San Francisco to find Hiroshi's old office.

Back at the Monarch command post, Verdugo interrogated Lee about the kids, the files, and his intentions. Watching them, Duvall asked how Shaw could look as young as he does when he was one of Monarch's first members. Tim mentioned a classified mission, which was to Axis Mundi. During the interrogation, Lee explained that the reason for his attempted escape was due to how he viewed Monarch as having been misguided and having taken little action during G-Day. Lee was released by some guards as Duvall spoke with May on the phone.

"Will the Real May Please Stand Up?"

A few days after escaping the Frost Vark, Lee Shaw returned to the place in Alaska to close up the nearby Hollow Earth entrance by setting off explosives around it. These explosives attracted the Frost Vark, which attempted to attack a low flying helicopter until it got caught in one of the explosives. The hole quickly began to close, drawing in the Frost Vark all within proximity in it, until it exploded. Lee looked rather pleased with the results.

Trivia

• Every American Godzilla television series has featured at least one episode that takes place in Alaska.
