  Yukon - LoveToKnow 1911
With its longest tributaries not in Alaska, the Lewes and the Teslin (or Hootalinqua), its length is about 2300 m., in the form of a great arc, beginning in the Yukon District of British Columbia, near the Pacific Ocean, and ending at the Bering Sea coast.
The Yukon Valley comprises four sub-provinces, or physiographic divisions; in their order from the headwaters of the river these divisions have been called the " Upper Yukon," " Yukon Flats," " Rampart Region " and " Lower Yukon." The " Upper Yukon " Valley is about 450 m.
In 1842-43 the Yukon was explored by the Russian Lieutenant Zagoskin, who built a trading post at Nulato, ascended the river (which he called the Kwikpak) as far as the Tanana, made a track survey of the stream to that point and reported that it was not navigable beyond there.

Although all data from far-flung stations are not yet available, it is possible to piece together a description of the unusual auroral display of December 19, 1980 using reports from those who saw the display and instrumental data acquired at Fairbanks and Fort Yukon, Alaska.
There was deep red aurora to the west of Clear, Alaska at 6:45 am, and then truly red aurora mixed in with auroras of green and yellowish hues spread over Anchorage-area skies in the hour or two after 6:30 am.
