"Just two miles from Santa Magical Workshop."
The frozen wilderness that is the Yukon.

Canada's version of Siberia, the Yukon is located in northern Canada, bordering the Canadian territory the Northworst Territories, the Canadian province British Columbia, and the American state Alaska.

It is not to be confused with Scarberia, a suburb of Trona.

It was discovered in 1979 by the British pop-band the Beatles with the help of their robot sidekick, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Recently Canadian dogs have made attempts to limit the amount of political prisoners sent to the Yukon, but the government has paid no attention to them. Who the Hell listens to dogs? Yukon became famous (relatively) during the Yukon Golden Grahams Rush in the 1890s. Other noteworthy Yukon related crap: Yukon Cornelius (Former Canadian Prime Minister and host of Soul Train), and the fact that the popular (again relatively) Canadian television program(me) "Yukon Do That on Television" which starred a young Alanis Morissette was filmed there.
