The World’s Most Grueling Race Journeys 1,000 Miles Down the Yukon
It’s not clear who first discovered the gold. Even that word “discovered” is a misnomer. The local Tlingit and Tagish tribes were both well aware of its presence along the river decades before Westerners started drawing it from the ground; they’d simply had no use for the stuff. Perhaps it’s better to say it’s not clear who first exploited the gold—who helped inspire some 100,000 prospectors to make the arduous trip to the Yukon Territory in northwest Canada, a migration that became known as the Klondike Gold Rush.

Early Apes Lived on Savannahs, Not in Forests
Apes were supposed to be tied to the trees. Around 21 million years ago, during a time paleontologists know as the Miocene, what’s now Uganda was thought to be a lush, humid forest where early apes clambered over canopy branches in search of fruit. But a pair of new studies have overturned the established view, changing the setting in which paleontologists think the first apes evolved.

Timberline Vegetation on Mountains
Introduction of transition of forest into treeless tundra: Sometimes you observe a forest suddenly turns into a treeless tundra on the top of the mountain slope. This change seems a totally unrealistic. But it happens. About a ten meters distance from the normal forest, the tress starts disappearing and converts into a small herbs, grasses and stemless plants. This action of typical transition is known as upper timberline or a tree line. That separates a tree area from the rest of the treeless area. Sometimes we notice another area called lower timberline. This is the area where the forest turns into a desert. No traces of tree life. This happens due to the lack of moisture in that area.
