Kluane National Park Glacier & Reserve, Yukon

Any visit to Yukon means much time wearing your camera out at Kluane National Park Glacier & Reserve – the 8,499-square-mile expanse of unclimbed peaks, vast green valleys, clear lakes, and the world’s largest concentration of non-polar ice fields. Established in 1972, this place together with Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Provincial Park in BC and Glacier Bay/Wrangle-St Elias National Parks in Alaska forms the largest international UNESCO site on the planet. For those keen for powerful images, highlights include taking a classic canoe trip down the Yukon River, hiking to the summit of Sheep Mountain to spot wild Dall sheep and grizzly bears along the ridges, relaxing at Lake Kluane, and gazing in awe at Mount Logan – Canada’s highest mountain peak at 19,545-feet above sea level. And there’s no shortage of bird-spotting too, given that this place is home to some 150 species – including golden eagles.

Get the shot: While this nature-lover’s paradise is spectacular at ground level, nothing beats views of both Mount Logan and the staggeringly huge icefields from a flightseeing tour (usually a prop plane or helicopter).
