The Yukon Territory is prone to extreme temperatures primarily due to its continental location (the Arctic Ocean to the north is usually frozen, so it cannot have a modifying influence). The average July temperature at most locations is above 20C, though summers are brief. In winter, it is not unusual for the Yukon to have the lowest temperatures in Canada (and all of North America, for that matter). Temperatures average below -20C and rarely get above freezing. Temperatures below -40 do occur in most places annually, and have been lower than -60C.

Is the Alaska Gold Rush and the Klondike Gold Rush the same?
Yes and no. The Klondike is a place in the Yukon Territory of Canada, where the main gold was found. The area around Dawson city in the Yukon has produced between 15 and 20 million ounces of placer gold and geologists estimate 200+ million ounces of hard-rock gold in the area. The Klondike borders on Alaska and the Yukon river flows from the Yukon into Alaska. When glaciers pulverized the gold rich mountains of the Yukon into gravel it washed the gold and gravel into the Yukon drainage basin, the western portion of this basin is in Alaska. As the gold washed into Alaska the gold became more pulverized and as result the gold nuggets become smaller and fewer and the amount of flour gold increases the further west the gold is washed. although the main gold-rush was in the Yukon it doubled the population of Alaska as the easiest way to get to the Yukon was by ship to Alaska then across the border into Canada. The Klondike gold-rush also spurred gold exploration and and discovery in Alaska. also as the Klondike gold-rush was discovered at about the time the California gold-rush had been exhausted many of them headed to the Klondike and many of the non native settlers of the Yukon are their descendants.
