Yukoninfo.Com Yukon Geography Land Area 478,970 km2 Freshwater Area 4,480 km2 The Yukon represents 4.8% of Canada’s total land area and is the eighth largest province or territory. Within the territory, 20 mountain peaks exceed 3,000 metres. Mount Logan, the tallest at 5,959 metres, is also the fastest growing mountain in the world. The largest, non-polar ice fi eld in the world is in the St. Elias Mountains. The ice fi eld is believed to reach 700 metres in depth and feed glaciers up to 30 kilometres long.

This large intelligent bird is one of the few that live in the territory year-round. Our fl oral emblem is the Fireweed. Most commonly found in old burns and open meadows, Fireweed’s magenta blooms abound from mid-July to mid-September. Lazulite, the o cial gemstone, is a rare, azure blue, semi- precious gemstone, found in remote northeast Yukon. The name is derived from the Arabic word “laza”, which means heaven. The sub-alpine fi r (Abies lasiocarpa) was selected as Yukon’s o cial tree in 2001. Ask for more information about the Yukon fl ag, Coat of Arms and Tartan at the visitor information centre.

Photo courtesy of Northern Climate ExChange Foreword The Kluane First Nation is made up of strong and inspired people, who have lived in their Traditional Territory since time immemorial. Their Territory spans an area between the White River to the north, and the Slims River to the south; and from the St. Elias Mountains to the west, to the Ruby Ranges to the east. We have seen many changes on the land and in our community - from the establishment of the Alaska Highway, to the inception of the Kluane First Nation Government; all the while, we remain present with the land. Today, we are witnessing changes in our climate that are reflected on the land, and so we must take action to address the needs of our future generations.
