Three mountain passes (Chilkat, Chilkoot and White Pass) allow access into the Yukon. The broad Yukon Interior Plateau lies at 600 to 1,000 metres in the central Yukon between the western Coastal Ranges, and the Selwyn and Ogilvie Mountains on the east. A tundra plain stretches along the Arctic coast. The Yukon has 200 kilometres of Arctic coastline along the Beaufort Sea, and one Arctic island located five kilometres off the north shore. Herschel Island is a territorial park.

Extractions: Useful Links more Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada's land mass is 9 093 507 square kilometers, making it the second-largest country in the world after Russia. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones. In addition to its coastlines on the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Canada has a third sea coast on the Arctic Ocean, giving it the longest coastline of any country. To the south, Canada shares an 8 891 kilometre boundary with the United States. To the north, the Arctic islands come within 800 kilometres of the North Pole. Canada's neighbour across the Arctic Ocean is Russia. Because of the harsh northern climate, only 12 percent of the land is suitable for agriculture. Thus, most of the population of 30 million live within a few hundred kilometres of the southern border, where the climate is milder, in a long thin band stretching between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans ... more Canada's terrain incorporates a number of mountain ranges: the Torngats, Appalachians and Laurentians in the east; the Rocky, Coastal and Mackenzie ranges in the west; and Mount St. Elias and the Pelly Mountains in the north. At 5 959 metres, Mount Logan in the Yukon is Canada's tallest peak.

Extractions: Northwest Territories is located in northwestern North America, and borders Yukon (west), British Columbia (south-west), Alberta (south), Saskatchewan (south-east), and Nunavut (east). Boreal forests in the south fade to barren tundra in the north. The short growing season makes commercial agriculture impossible. Native peoples make up nearly half the sparse population. The details of their origins and migration routes are unclear, but it is most likely that they came to Alaska from Asia across the land bridge. Great Slave Lake, rich in whitefish and trout, is the major center for fishing.
