Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre

Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre

Imagine a world where the vast steppe stretches unbroken as far as the eye can see. Envision a place were predators of staggering proportions compete with human hunters for food in a cold, dry, treeless expanse. Explore the mysteries of that world within the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre and watch Beringia come alive.

 

This multimedia exposition features life-size exhibits of ice age animals, interactive computer kiosks and dioramas depicting the unique landscape, flora and fauna of Beringia. Highlights of the centre include a full-size cast of the largest woolly mammoth ever recovered in North America and a reconstruction of the 24,000 year old Bluefish Cave archaeological site.
