Whitehorse, YT

This is a center devoted to the Bering Land Bridge known as Beringia and the creatures and people who crossed and lived in the area. The Yukon is not glacial, not enough snow and a bit warmer than the Southern parts of the area. Many artifacts were found in the "blue caves" in the area and most of the animal finds were in AK and in the Dawson City area. Entire skeletons were recovered by miners. Really neat place.








This little guy is an Arctic squirrel.
