Today's post has some of my favorite photos from the wild and scenic Yukon Territory of Canada. It is a wonderful place for a vacation. It is so popular with German tourists that there are non-stop flights from Frankfurt to Whitehorse. The Japanese are also common visitors to the Yukon.
Map from the Yukon Travel website. The site is an excellent website for planning a trip to the Yukon. The link is below.

Oblique view of landslide from Google Earth (lower left), vertical Google Earth image (north is up). The arrow shows the approximate location and direction of the photo of the landslide taken from Highway 4. Google Earth images from 2004 through 2008 show that the slide develop and moved over a 5-year period. |
