YUKON
Yukon or The Yukon is one of Canada's northern territories, in the country's extreme northwest. Its capital is Whitehorse.The territory is the approximate shape of a right triangle, bordering the American state of Alaska to the west, the Northwest Territories to the east and British Columbia to the south. Its northern coast is on the Beaufort Sea. Canada's highest point, Mount Logan (5959 m), is found in the territory's southwest. Most of the territory is in the watershed of its namesake, the Yukon River, and most of its few settlements are on riverbanks. Its ragged eastern boundary follows the watershed between the Yukon Basin and the Mackenzie River watershed to the east.
Its population is about 30,000 (Yukoners).
The capital, Whitehorse, is also the largest city; the second largest is Dawson City, which was the capital until 1952.
