Touching down at the end of this flight brings you to Dawson City Airport in the Klondike River valley. The current settlement was named after noted Canadian geologist George M. Dawson who had explored and mapped the region in 1887. It served as the Yukon's capital from the territory's founding in 1898 until 1952 when the seat was moved to Whitehorse.
Dawson City was the centre of the Klondike Gold Rush. Beginning in 1896, it changed the First Nations camp into a thriving city of almost 17,000 people by 1898. By 1899, the gold rush had ended and the town's population plummeted as all but 8,000 people left.
The city of Dawson and the nearby ghost town of Forty Mile are featured prominently in the novels and short stories of American author Jack London, including Call of the Wild.
