President Barack Obama shared photos of his trip to Alaska on Instagram this week, making mainland Americans wonder why they haven't moved there yet.
The president embarked on Monday to meet with Alaska residents and see firsthand the negative effects of climate change. Obama also found time to tape an episode of "Running Wild with Bear Grylls." He later shared a selfie he took with the show's host, calling Grylls the "only bear [he] met in the park."
Check out Obama's photos, signed "bo," below.
