As I've mentioned in some of my older posts - I'm a university professor and, every spring, I get to teach courses on the politics of climate change in the southwest Yukon and southeast Alaska! I just got back, after 5 weeks of intense teaching and almost no access to phones or internet. here are some key shots!
This is the Carcross desert, in Carcross, Yukon. Yes, the Yukon has a desert! And this is the view of Bennett lake, and the mountains from the top of the tallest dune. The desert is actually the sandy bottom of an ancient sea that used to cover the whole area!
Clan houses in Carcross:
Playing frisbee with students on the shore of Kluane Lake, Yukon. We stay at a research station right on this beach for most of our time in Kluane country.
This is one of our many 'classrooms' in Kluane country - we hiked up Sheep Creek to this view point and then had class here, overlooking Kluane National Park, the Slims river valley and the St.Elias mountains - home to the largest non-polar ice sheet in the world, and Mount Logan, second tallest mountain in N. America.
Me and the Kluane ranges!
Haines, Alaska in June!
On the Seduction Point Trail, Chilkat State Park,

At the Jilkaat Kwaan Heritage Center, Klukwan, Ak - an amazing day!
