Yukon hits the silver screen

The much anticipated screen adaptation of Jack London’s 1903 novel, The Call of the Wild, is set to hit Australian cinemas on 20 February 2020. Starring Harrison Ford and Dan Stevens, this live-action film vividly brings to life the story of Buck, a domesticated dog who is uprooted from his comfortable California home and sent to Canada’s Yukon Territory during the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s.

Call of the Wild is a gripping story of strength, survival and loyalty, as Buck becomes part of a mail delivery sled team, enduring harsh winter conditions in the wilderness, until he eventually finds his true place in the world and becomes his own master.

About Yukon
Situated in the upper northwest corner of Canada, next to Alaska, Yukon Territory is Canada's most accessible northern destination. Home to Canada's highest mountain (Mount Logan) and one of the largest non-polar icefields located in Kluane National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage site – the breathtaking territory is a picturesque winter wonderland.

Yukon is one of North America's most undiscovered destinations; close to 80 percent remains pristine wilderness with 5,000-metre peaks, forested valleys, unspoiled waters and untamed wildlife. Roughly the size of Spain at just over 300,000 square miles, the Yukon is home to more than 160,000 caribou, 70,000 moose, 22,000 mountain sheep, 7,000 grizzly bears, 10,000 black bears and 250 species of birds, with a human population of only 40,000.
