Description

The Yukon Territory is positioned in Canada's northwest corner, bordering Alaska The shape of this mountainous territory forms a rough triangle.

Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak at 6,050 meters, is located in far-southwestern Yukon.

Above the Arctic Circle (latitude 66º 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.
