I'm not sure it's possible for a second person to discover something that's already been discovered but that's a question of semantics. You're probably asking about European explorers, even though it's impossible for them to discover Alaska since numerous indigenous people occupied Alaska for thousands of years before the arrival of European peoples to the area.

It is usually assumed that the first European boat to reach Alaska was the St. Gabriel under the authority of the surveyor M. S. Gvozdev and assistant navigator I. Fyodorov on August 21, 1732.

Another European contact with Alaska occurred in 1741, when Vitus Bering led an expedition for the Russian Navy aboard the St. Peter.
