Kings of the Yukon

By ADAM WEYMOUTH

Kings of the Yukon tells the story of Adam’s 2,000 mile 4 month canoe trip across Canada and Alaska, from the source of the Yukon River to the mouth, following the longest salmon migration in the world. With the numbers of king salmon crashing in recent years, the journey examines what might be causing the declines, and explores how the many people and ecosystems that depend on the salmon are being affected as they disappear. Adam’s book won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year and the Lonely Planet Adventure Travel Book of the Year.
