Kluane National Park and Reserve
Kluane National Park and Reserve, National park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwestern Yukon, Canada.
Mountains and glaciers occupy 83 percent of Kluane National Park's 22,013 square kilometers, featuring Mount Logan, Canada's highest peak at 5,959 meters.
The National Park Reserve was established in 1972, and in 1993 a portion transformed into a national park following an agreement with Champagne and Aishihik First Nations.
The eastern section of Kluane continues as a Reserve pending resolution of land claims with the Kluane First Nation, reflecting indigenous territorial rights.
Kathleen Lake offers facilities including campgrounds, picnic areas, and a boat launch, operating from mid-May through mid-September for outdoor activities.
The park forms part of the largest non-polar ice field system globally, connecting with adjacent protected areas in Alaska and British Columbia.
