The Yukon River is considered relatively unspoiled. It runs about 2,500 miles from its headwaters in Canada to the Bering Sea on Alaska’s west coast. Scientists consider it a haven for research because no major dams or levees obstruct its flow. And tribal leaders and researchers are taking steps to insure the Yukon River remains pristine.
