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?

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

Vuntut: A Land Spared by Ice
Vuntut National Park in the Yukon is part of Beringia, a vast area that remained ice-free during the last ice age. Its name means 'among the lakes' in Gwich’in, referring to the wetlands that are a critical stopover for hundreds of thousands of migratory birds. This unglaciated landscape holds deep archaeological and ecological significance. #Canada #Vuntut #Yukon #Beringia 🇨🇦

HOME!
There was plenty of construction during my last leg home. It was sunny. It rained. Same ol’ story. I saw a moose though! Any ideas I had about how my reuniting with Jeff and Hank, after 2 months away, was going to go, was completely table flipped when Jeff messaged me to stop at the camper on my way into town to help him winterize it. Okay, I can do that! Hank seemingly couldn’t care any less that I’m home. He’s just so different from a golden retriever (I’ve had three). He […] -

I did the sourtoe cocktail!
Hey, it's not like I'm likely to ever find myself in Dawson City again.
Honestly I was worried I'd lose my nerve, so it's nice to be reminded I have some courage sometimes still.
Told you this place is wild and bonkers.

I made it to Dawson City! What a trip! The Yukon is so wild, and Dawson is bonkers.
Much more later.

"There are now at least 173 underpasses and overpasses that are dedicated for #wildlife to get safely across roads.
"There’s three more that are under construction right now and there are 47 that have been committed to by various governments.
"So, we’re getting to this place where consideration of wildlife getting across roads is just a normal part of what we do. That’s super exciting."

" #Beringia—a now-inundated landmass that once connected #Siberia to #Alaska and #Yukon... "
"From the #Bluefish #Caves, three hollows in a remote limestone ridge in northern Yukon, #archaeologists have unearthed some of the oldest known signs of human occupation in #NorthAmerica. Today, these caves are providing scientists with a glimpse into the lives of the Beringian hunters who used them nearly 24,000 years ago."
