Map of glacial geology, Glenlyon area, Yukon Territory: Supplement 1 from "Continental glaciation in the Glenlyon area, Pelly River District, Yukon, Canada" (Thesis)
The Glenlyon area in central Yukon is bounded by 62° and 63°N and 134° and 136°W. It is part of the Yukon Plateau, a mature upland surface surmounted by isolated peaks and small ranges, and dissected by deep, young valleys. Features of glacial erosion and deposition ore such that the direction of fl...

The Glenlyon area in central Yukon is bounded by 62° and 63°N and 134° and 136°W.
