The Yukon

The Yukon Territory in Canada's northwest covers 483 450 km2. The Yukon has a sub arctic climate. The high altitude of much of the territory and the semi-arid climate provide relatively warm summers with temperatures frequently reaching 25°C or more during the long summer days. In winter the temperature ranges between plus 4 and minus 50°C in the south and slightly colder farther north.
Above the Arctic Circle (latitude 66° north), the Yukon is known as "the land of the midnight sun" because for three months in summer, sunlight is almost continuous. In winter, however, darkness sets in, and the light of day is not seen for a quarter of the year.

The People

The Yukon's vast interior forests were occupied by the Athapaskans, whose cultural and linguistic traditions go back more than 1 000 years. At present, approximately 31,000 people live in the Yukon; 21 percent of the population is Aboriginal. Over 70 percent of the population lives in Whitehorse, Yukon's capital city.

The Economy

Mining, Yukon's largest industry, accounts for more than 30 percent of the economy. Tourism, offering a wilderness experience in a unique and relatively unspoiled environment, provides a further base for jobs and services. Efforts have recently been made to promote other sectors, such as the forest industry.
