Ice went out on the Yukon River at Dawson, Yukon Territory Tuesday afternoon (May 5). This is a few days later than average by modern standards but would have been earlier than usual prior to 1970. Data courtesy https://yukonriverbreakup.com/

Increasing areas of open water on the Yukon River near Dawson, YT and the Klondike River is mostly open, but the ice Tuesday afternoon is still holding in front of town. Last year the ice broke on April 28. Over the past 50 years the typical break-up date is May 5. #ytwx #YukonRiver #Dawson
