Arctic Poppies + Balsam | Kluane Lake

Notes: Arctic Poppies + Balsam

Get lost in the Aurora borealis at Kluane Lake with our soothing fragrance inspired by the epic Yukon.

Located in the southwest area of the Yukon, Kluane lake is the largest lake contained entirely within Yukon. The lake is approximately 408 km2 (158 sq mi),  and 81 km (50 mi) long.

It drains into the Kluane River and makes a journey out to the Bering Sea.

With the lake being situated above the 61st parallel it is a great place to observe the Aurora Borealis. At the winter solstice, the sun is visible for approx 5-6hours.

Located just off the Alaska Highway, this is a must-see stop along any adventure up to northern arctic regions.
