This week Amanda and I bring you the letter Y!
Since I have been bringing you all things Canadian during this alphabetic tour, this week I'm going to talk with you about the Yukon!
Think Jack London, Call of the Wild, Snow, tundra, permafrost, Inuit, snow, sun, frontiersmen, cold winters, sled dogs and the northern lights.
Or take a photographers viewpoint:
It is host to Canada's largest mountain, Mount Logan.
AND the smallest desert in the world (yes, under all that snow is a desert) called Carcross.
It is located right next door to Alaska (the USA) and the Northwest Territories.

I never thought about there being a dessert in the yukon, but I guess it makes sense, it might be too cold to snow, and I cannot imagine it raining much that far north. Lovely, but definitely a place I would rather visit than live!
ReplyDeleteI would love to visit the Yukon and Alaska, not sure if I'd want to live there.
DeleteFascinating! I expected more snow, though. Wonder what it looks like in the winter.
ReplyDeletemmmm the yukon in the winter... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNq7lrXmQZQ
DeleteHoly Cow! The Yukon is so stunningly beautiful! I had no idea how pretty until I saw your videos...
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it odd that Destruction Bay is an inland city?
Thank you for highlighting a place I knew next to nothing about - I can't wait for the teenagers in my house to get up so I can show them!
i know eh? I'm so happy to help people learn more about my homeland. :)
DeleteBeautiful. Would love to visit one day.
ReplyDeleteI know...wouldn't it be interesting?
DeleteCool, I've always wondered about Yukon. Sounds like a fun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteit would be interesting for sure. :)
DeleteMy oldest son is obsessed with the Yukon! We watch shows like Yukon men and Gold Rush all the time. While I know those shows are about the Alaskan portion of the Yukon it's not always easy to distinguish which portion of the Yukon is being talked about in all the many (many!) books we've read about the area.
ReplyDeleteNeat! You probably know too much about the yukon at this point though. :) It's great to see the avid interest though isn't it?
