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 🇨🇦

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..."

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 https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/james-green-stewart/ -

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.”

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

NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
Pierre Pambrun Jr worked in the Mackenzie's River district and was attached to Robert Campbell's expedition and post at Frances Lake, and later at the Pelly Banks Post, on the Pelly River in the #Yukon. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/pierre-pambrun-jr/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In 1851, Robert Campbell of Fort Selkirk, on the #Yukon River, built a York Boat and travelled down the Yukon River on his way to the Porcupine. At the junction of the Porcupine with the Yukon, he stumbled on Alexander Hunter Murray post of Fort Yukon. #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks #Journeys https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/yukon-river/ -

NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In 1847, HBC trader Alexander Hunter Murray built Fort #Yukon, on the Yukon River at its junction with the Porcupine. It was the first of two posts to be built on the Yukon River--Robert Campbell built his Fort Selkirk shortly after Murray built Fort Yukon. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/fort-yukon/ -
NO ORDINARY RISKS: THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA
In 1850, the steamer Beaver hit a submerged rock on the West side of Vancouver's Island, and damaged her keel badly enough that she had to be taken out of service. Interestingly, this accident seems to have been connected with the trade at Fort Selkirk on the #Yukon River, when some expected Indigenous men did not travel from the coast into the interior. #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #NoOrdinaryRisks https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/accident-to-the-beaver/ -
@Priyajsridhar
What books featuring nature or the great outdoors come to mind?My favorite books about the "great outdoors" right now (and some of my fav books right now), are by Kelley Armstrong. The Rockton series and its sequel series, Haven's Rock. Set in Canada's Yukon, these are small communities of people living almost totally off the grid (for reasons).
They have strict community rules (for acceptance & to stay).
It's no easy life.

THREE JOURNEYS NORTH TO THE ARCTIC SEA:
Pierre Pambrun Jr. worked at Robert Campbell's Frances Lake post, and also at Pelly Banks. In 1850 or so, the Pelly Banks Post was consumed by a fire which destroyed all their provisions and warm clothes and also left them without ammunition in the middle of winter. It was a disaster in the making.... #Journeys #ThreeJourneysNorth #Yukon #NorthernBC https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/pierre-pambrun-jr./ -
