 Yukon Geological Survey- Permafrost Summary
All terrain, except rivers and lakes, is underlain by perennially-frozen ground in north Yukon, but the scattered permafrost of southern Yukon is found under less than 25% of the ground surface.
In Yukon, physiographic factors are responsible for the presence of permafrost, particularly blocking of maritime air by St. Elias Mountains, and topographic enhancement of winter inversions within the dissected Yukon Plateaus (Harris 1983; Burn 1994).
Permafrost in uplands of central and southern Yukon is a result of short, cool summers, for in winter the ground is protected by a thick snow cover.
