  4. My "Bold Grizzly Shares the Road" captures a spring moment from the Alaska Highway.

    A golden-brown grizzly moves through tender green shoots and dry stems, fur catching the light and its presence both powerful and composed, anchored by earth tones and textured fur.

    Which detail grabs you first — the gaze, the curve of the back, or the way the light skims the fur?

  9. Ivvavik: A Place for Giving Birth

    Ivvavik, Canada's first national park created through an Indigenous land claim agreement, has a name that means 'a place for giving birth' in Inuvialuktun. It protects the vital calving grounds of the Porcupine Caribou Herd. Each year, thousands of caribou migrate here to have their young, making it a cornerstone of Gwich'in culture and ecological stability. #Canada #Ivvavik #Yukon #Caribou 🇨🇦

  11. Dawson City: Where Gold Rush Legends Live On ⛏️

    In the Yukon, Dawson City was once the heart of the Klondike Gold Rush. Today, it’s a preserved town with wooden boardwalks, historic saloons, and a frozen-in-time frontier spirit that draws adventurers and history buffs alike.

    “Permafrost soils are particularly vulnerable to climate change. To assess and improve estimations of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets it is necessary to accurately map soil carbon and nitrogen in the permafrost region. In particular, soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have been predicted and mapped by many studies from local to pan-Arctic scales. Several studies have been carried out at the Canadian Beaufort Sea coast, though no regional maps of terrestrial carbon stocks based on spatial modelling has been conducted yet. This study combines available field data from the Canadian Yukon coastal plain and uses it to map regional SOC and N stocks using the machine learning algorithm random forest and environmental variables based on remote sensing data. [The authors] developed models using the data for the entire region and separate models for the coastal mainland area and Qikiqtaruk Herschel Island. Each model was used to map SOC and N stocks for its respective area. [They] assessed the performance of the different random forest models by using crossvalidation. [They] further assessed model results using the Area of Applicability (AOA) method and the quantile regression forest approach, comparing the results and discussing their implications within the context of both methods. [They] explore[d] local differences in soil properties and how soil data distribution across the region affects the accuracy of the predictions of SOC and N stocks..."

  13. NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
    James Green Stewart was clerk to Robert Campbell at Fort Selkirk, on the #Yukon River, and he made some impressive winter journeys while he was there. A few years later he was assigned the position of second-in-command to James Anderson, who was a much more difficult leader to please. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #NWT nancymargueriteanderson.com/ja

    Public bat banding near Whitehorse shines light on seldom seen Yukon species

    Bats provide the night shift. They’re the ones out there eating mosquitoes, [and] moths and things of that nature. So, without bats, we wouldn’t have control or regulation of some of the nightly flying insects.”

  15. Yukon's Permanent Daylight Time! ☀️⏰

    Yukon made a unique decision in 2020: it permanently switched to what is effectively Pacific Daylight Time, meaning it stays at UTC-7 year-round. No more changing clocks! This aligns it with Mountain Standard Time, offering consistent daylight hours and simplifying life for residents. #Canada #TimeZones #Yukon #NoDST
