About one-third of its land is in the Arctic Circle (6)

I believe the answer is:

alaska

(Other definitions for alaska that I've seen before include "Northernmost US state" , "Land bought by the USA from Russia in 1867" , "Separate state" , "State of north-west US" , "North-western US state" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
