Mackenzie Mountains

Japanese: マッケンジー[山脈](英語表記)Mackenzie Mountains
Mackenzie Mountains
A mountain range that runs from the eastern Yukon Territory to the western Northwest Territories in Canada. It is part of the Rocky Mountains. Its highest peak is Keel Peak (2,972m). It forms the watershed between the Yukon River system to the west and the Mackenzie River system to the east. The foothills are covered with coniferous forests, but most of the mountain range is tundra and alpine vegetation, and glaciers can be seen in some areas. There are several gold mines in the southwest foothills, including Dawson. [Masai Yasuo]
