Massive ground ice, 5–6 m in thickness, is exposed within retrogressive thaw flow slides near Sabine Point, Yukon Territory. The ice is present near the upper surface of Buckland Till and is overlain and thaw truncated by mudflow sediments and a thick unit of peat and organic silt. Cryotextural and petrographic analyses suggest that the ice formed primarily by segregation processes. The ice occurs within an area of rolling terrain, surrounded by lacustrine basins. This may form a remnant of an initial post-Buckland surface, degraded by multiple cycles of thermokarst during the period 14 000 to 8000 years BP.

Canadians are increasingly aware of the needs and opportunities of northern Canada. Communities in the North need additional support in terms of health care, education, employment opportunities, and the high cost of living. Meanwhile, the economic importance of the North is increasing rapidly through development of mineral, petrocarbon, and hydroelectric resources. Reduction of ice cover in the Arctic Ocean is expected to lead to additional shipping in and out of northern ports. New roads are being planned over difficult terrain in Yukon Territory, Northwest Territory, Nunavut, northern Manitoba and northern Quebec. The only rail line in the North - to Churchill on the shores of Hudson’Bay - needs major repairs.
