Whitehorse,
Yukon
|
|
|
It
has a population of about 31,000, and its capital
is Whitehorse, with a population of 23,272. People
from Yukon are known as Yukoners. The very sparsely
populated territory abounds with natural scenic beauty,
with snowmelt lakes and perennial whitecapped mountains.
|
Although the climate is arctic and subarctic and
very dry, with long cold winters, the long sunshine
hours in short summer allow hardy crops and vegetables,
along with a profusion of flowers and fruit to
blossom. The territory is the approximate shape
of a right triangle, bordering the American state
of Alaska to the west, the
Northwest Territories to the east and British
Columbia to the south.

in the Mackenzie mountains. |
