Yukon Geography

 Did you know that the Yukon river is the second longest in Canada and that Yukon was named after this river? Yukon has a very diverse geography, eve n though almost every where is a long chain of mountain. It was formed by land coiling with each other and the wind,water, and glaciers further shaped the land. There was mountains but glaciers made plateaus witch helped form the largest mountain in Canada, Mt. Logan at 19,550 feet! Yukon was once part of Northwest Territory but broke of later. Northwest territory is to the east, Alaska to the West, British Columbia to the south, and north is Beaufort sea. There are also four main regions, West Cordillera, Interior Plateaus, Eastern Cordillera, and Atlantic Coastal Plains.The Yukon is an amazing place I hope you can visit it some time!
