This line of thinking is scarier than orcas or floatplanes because it leads to seductive questions: ''Could I live in this chilly, light-struck wilderness? Could I be an Alaskan?'' Such wild surmising, which is half the fun of travel, churns dependable fantasies anywhere, in Salzburg or Ladakh. But for a U.S. citizen, the daydreams seem especially strong in Alaska.
