George Fischer's immense talent for capturing the spirit of a place
through images has never been more pronounced than in this book
showcasing a tiny territory that packs a big punch. With a population of
only 40,000 souls spread over 482,443 square kilometres, the Yukon is
home to Canada's tallest mountain, the world's largest weathervane and
the Earth's toughest dogsled race. It also boasts the planet's smallest
sand desert and most extensive collection of international signposts.
In an epic journey into this faraway land, George presents a bonanza of
breathtaking images. He takes you up into the rugged mountains and down
into the frosty fjords. In between, you'll stand in the footsteps of
gold rush hopefuls. Cross rivers and plains where unusual wildlife
roams. Stroll the streets of Wild West sagas. Immerse yourself in
ancient cultures and modern music. And sip Yukon Jack in Dawson City or
Whitehorse as you rock with the tempo and tones of the classic cancan.
