Excerpt from Results of a Biological Reconnoissance of the Yukon River Region: General Account of the Region; Annotated List of Mammals; Annotated List of Birds White Pass district - The summits of the mountains that rise directly east of Skagway are covered with glaciers and perpetual snow, which feed numerous streams that flow down between mass ive walls of granite. The Sides of the wider canyons have been smoothed and scored by glaciation, and the smaller and more recent ones are but jagged rock-bound chasms. These unfavorable conditions cause a rapid change in the character of the plant and animal life, and from Glacier to the summit of White Pass the zones are Hudsonian and Arctic-alpine. A few hundred feet above Glacier the trees become smaller and more scattered, and at Summit only the alpine juniper (juniperus nana), the bearberry (arctostaphylos and depau perate alpine hemlocks (tsuga mertensiana) occur. Heathers and mosses prevail and large areas of reindeer moss are conspicuous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
