  • Preserved historic 1922-1951 sternwheel paddle steamer, SS Keno National Historic Site of Canada, at dry dock along the Yukon River in Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. The vessel was built in 1922 in Whitehorse by the British Yukon Navigation Company, a subsidiary of the White Pass and Yukon Route railway company. It mostly transported silver, zinc and lead ore down the Stewart River from mines in the Mayo district to the confluence of the Yukon and Stewart rivers at Stewart City. It was retired from commercial service in 1951 due to the extension and improvement of the Klondike Highway in the years after World War II. About 250 sternwheelers served the Yukon River and its tributaries. Dawson City was the center of the Klondike Gold Rush (1896–99), after which population rapidly declined. Dawson City shrank further during World War II after the Alaska Highway bypassed it 300 miles (480 km) to the south using Whitehorse as a hub. In 1953, Whitehorse replaced Dawson City as Yukon Territory's capital. Dawson City's population dropped to 600–900 through the 1960s-1970s, but later increased as high gold prices made modern placer mining operations profitable and tourism was promoted. In Yukon, the Klondike Highway is marked as Yukon Highway 2 to Dawson City. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.

  • Kayakers paddle an attractive bend in the river, on the Pororari River Track in Paparoa National Park, between Westport and Greymouth in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island. The track follows an impressive limestone gorge along the river with big rocks set in deep pools, through strikingly beautiful forest subtly transitioning between subtropical and temperate ecozones. Pororari River flows northwest from its sources in the Paparoa Range to reach the Tasman Sea at Punakaiki. Stroll 1 km to a seat overlooking an attractive river bend. At about 3.5 km turn left at the Inland Pack Track to soon reach the swing bridge, a good turnaround point.

The respected title of "Pletnarstvo," Pletna oarsman, has been handed down within specific families from generation to generation.

  • See Mount Foraker, Mount Hunter, and Mount McKinley from the confluence of the Talkeetna and Susitna Rivers at Talkeetna, Alaska, USA. Paddle a rubber raft. Denali (20,310 feet or 6191 meters, aka Mount McKinley) is the highest mountain peak in North America, and measured from base to peak, it is earth's tallest mountain on land. Mount McKinley is a granitic pluton uplifted by tectonic pressure while erosion has simultaneously stripped away the somewhat softer sedimentary rock above and around it.

  • Miles Canyon Suspension Bridge, near Whitehorse, capital and largest city of the Yukon, Canada. At Miles Canyon and the former Whitehorse Rapids downstream, the Yukon River cuts through 8-million-year-old lava flows, the Miles Canyon Basalts. Salmon pooling above and below the rapids attracted humans who left tools here 2500 years ago, and likely other people arriving 8000-9000 years ago after the retreat of glaciers. These narrow cliffs and rapids also established the upstream terminus for paddle-wheelers during the Klondike Gold Rush, eventually helping establish the City of Whitehorse. Whitehorse was incorporated in 1950 at kilometer 1426 (Historic Mile 918) on the Alaska Highway. The town was named for the former Whitehorse Rapids (now drowned by a hydroelectric dam), whose pale-colored glacially silted waters resemble the mane of a white horse. The Yukon River originates in British Columbia and flows into the Bering Sea in Alaska. The name Yukon comes from a Gwich'in phrase meaning white water river. Although historically called "Yukon Territory", the territory is now officially called "Yukon" (after the federal government's Yukon Act in 2002). This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.

  • The distinctive Pletna boats on Lake Bled can carry 20 people in their handsome wooden interior, designed in 1590. A colourful awning protects passengers from sun and weather. Pletna boats carry tourists across Lake Bled under the medieval Bled Castle (Slovene: Blejski grad, German: Burg Veldes), which was built a little before 1011 AD on a cliff above the city of Bled, in what is now Slovenia, Europe. Visitors enjoy riding the two-paddle Pletna boats to Bled Island (Blejski otok, the only natural island in Slovenia), upon which stands the Pilgrimage Church of the Assumption of Mary (Slovenian: Cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja), built in the 1400s and now popular for romantic weddings. The respected title of "Pletnarstvo," Pletna oarsman, has been handed down within specific families from generation to generation.

  • A green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) grazes underwater at Tagus Cove, on Isabela (Albemarle) Island, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, South America. The "green sea turtle" name comes from its greenish fat and flesh. The hues of its shell range from olive-brown to black in Eastern Pacific green turtles. The green turtle belongs to the family Cheloniidae and is the only species in the genus Chelonia. The species lives in tropical and subtropical seas around the world, with two distinct populations in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It has a flattened body covered by a large, teardrop-shaped carapace and a pair of large, paddle-like flippers. Unlike other members of its family such as the hawksbill and loggerhead turtles, Chelonia mydas is mostly herbivorous (plant eating). The adults are commonly found in shallow lagoons, feeding mostly on various species of seagrass. In 1959, Ecuador declared 97% of the land area of the Galápagos Islands to be Galápagos National Park, which UNESCO registered as a World Heritage Site in 1978. Ecuador created the Galápagos Marine Reserve in 1998, which UNESCO appended in 2001. Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010.
