Yukon (also commonly called the Yukon) is the westernmost and smallest of Canada's three federal territories.

Several rivers run through Yukon, some being the Stewart River, Peel River, and the Yukon River, after which the territory was named.

In the far northwest of North America, the Yukon drains much of the Alaskan peninsula and flows from parts of Yukon and the Northwest Territory to the Pacific.

Water The Yukon River is essentially navigable from Whitehorse to the Bering Sea.

Like most of Yukon, Whitehorse has a dry subarctic climate (Köppen climate classification Dfc ).

From this vast swath of territory were created three provinces (Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta) and two territories (Yukon Territory and North West Territories, now Yukon and Northwest Territories), and two extensions each to Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba.

The Yukon River proper starts at the northern end of Marsh Lake, just south of Whitehorse.

On the west coast of North America, the main rivers are the Colorado River, Columbia River, Yukon River, Fraser River, and Sacramento River.

Course The generally accepted source of the Yukon River is the Llewellyn Glacier at the southern end of Atlin Lake in British Columbia.

Whitehorse (total area population 27,889 as of 2013) is the capital and largest city of Yukon, Canada and the largest city in northern Canada.

Archaeological studies and genetic analyses have indicated a human presence in the northern Yukon region from 13,000 12,000 BC and in southern Ontario from 7500 BC.

The Beaufort Sea () is a marginal sea of the Arctic Ocean, located north of the Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Alaska, west of Canada's Arctic islands.

The city is reached by the tracks of the White Pass and Yukon Route, of which only a small portion are currently maintained to run a small trolley service in the summer.

In Canada, Vancouver Island and the city Vancouver are named after him, as are Vancouver, Washington in the United States, Mount Vancouver on the Yukon Alaska border and New Zealand's fourth highest mountain.

In the Northwest Quadrant of British Columbia, an area of land the size of Oregon, there's one road, a narrow ribbon of asphalt that slips up the side of the Coast Mountains to the Yukon.

With a population density of only 0.0267 km² (0.0693 sq mi), if it were a separate county or county equivalent, only the Yukon Koyukuk Census Area of central Alaska would have a lower population density out of all U.S. counties.

I had decided what kind of potato I wanted to plant I had picked my Yukon Gold or Yellow Finn, or whatever it was and I had summoned those genes from a seed catalog across the country, brought it, and I was planting it.

There are no permanent economically autonomous human settlements south of the Antarctic Circle, only research stations, so the countries and territories whose populations experience it are limited to those crossed by the Arctic Circle Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut), Greenland, Iceland, Finland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States (Alaska).

Geography British Columbia is bordered by the Pacific Ocean on the west side, by the American state of Alaska to the northwest and parts of the west, on the north by Yukon and the Northwest Territories, on the east by the province of Alberta, and on the south by the states of Washington, Idaho, and Montana.
