Dawson City: Frozen Time – Official Trailer
Now available on Blu-ray, DVD & Digital: bit.ly/2KF0hq6
This meditation on cinema’s past from Decasia director Bill Morrison pieces together the bizarre true history of a long-lost collection of 533 nitrate film prints from the early 1900s. Discovered buried under the permafrost in a former Canadian Gold Rush town, their story conjures the forgotten ties between the fledgling film industry and Manifest Destiny in North America.
Located about 350 miles south of the Arctic Circle, Dawson City was settled in 1896—the same year large-scale cinema projectors were invented—and became the center of the Klondike Gold Rush that brought 100,000 prospectors to the area. Soon after, the city became the final stop for a distribution chain that sent prints and newsreels to the Yukon. The films were seldom, if ever, returned. By the late 1920s, over 500,000 feet of film had accumulated in the basement of the local library. Much of it was eventually moved to the town’s hockey rink, where it was stacked and covered with boards and a layer of earth. The now-famous Dawson City Collection was uncovered in 1978 when a new recreation center was being built and a bulldozer working its way through a parking lot dug up a horde of film cans.
Morrison draws on these permafrost-protected, rare silent films and newsreels, pairing them with archival footage, interviews, historical photographs, and an enigmatic score by Sigur Rós collaborator and composer Alex Somers. Dawson City: Frozen Time depicts the unique history of this Canadian Gold Rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation.

Alaska Highway (Mile 0 - Dawson Creek)
We start our Alaska Highway (Alcan Highway) from Dawson Creek and the official Mile 0, we visit the Alcan Highway House (or museum) which is well worth a stop.
Dawson Creek has everything a full-time RVer needs to stock up for the Alaska Adventure. We had a parcel coming from the USA that didn't arrive on time and the Canada Post folk in Dawson Creek were fantastic and helped get the parcel to Whitehorse in time for us.
We had a great time looking around, visiting the Historical Centre and getting a few odd jobs done.
Meet a lovely couple and followed them to the next stop and said hi again.

Paving Front Street Bituclair Paving in Yukon Dawson City
A century ago, Dawson City, located 536 kms, northwest of Whitehorse was a gold rush boomtown. Today, the community is still a gold mining centre, although the main economic activity is tourism attracting 60,000 visitors annually.
The discovery of gold in the Klondike valley in 1896 led to the establishment of a tiny community where the Klondike River flows into the Yukon. By the summer of 1898, Dawson City was the largest city in Canada west of Winnipeg, with a population of 40,000.
It was determined through completion of extensive testing and thermal modeling of the permafrost beneath Front Street that a black asphalt surface would not be suitable for surface treatment. It was also recognized that due to the Heritage Value of Dawson City, black asphalt would not be acceptable.
Through the collaborative efforts of the Yukon Territorial Government, Skookum Asphalt and Colas, they came to the solution to match the pavement color to the existing gravel roads using the Colas product, Bituclair, which was the first time that Bituclair was used in a North American application.

City of Gold
This classic short film from Pierre Berton depicts the Klondike gold rush at its peak, when would-be prospectors struggled through harsh conditions to reach the fabled gold fields over 3000 km north of civilization. Using a collection of still photographs, the film juxtaposes the Dawson City at the height of the gold rush with its bustling taverns and dance halls with the more tranquil Dawson City of the present.
Directed by Wolf Koenig & Colin Low - 1957
La ville historique de Dawson - Yukon, Canada
La ville de Dawson fut fondée en septembre 1896 par Joseph Ladue, un négociant du fleuve Yukon, qui se rendit compte qu'il était plus facile d'amasser de l'or derrière un comptoir que dans les cours d'eau. Son installation rudimentaire, qui regroupait une scierie, un magasin et un saloon, fut rapidement entourée de bâtiments érigés par des personnes qui partageaient ses idées. Dawson, ville construite par des entrepreneurs, a toujours été le centre d'approvisionnement, de services et de loisirs de la région minière qui l'entoure.

5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Whitehorse | Canada Travel Guide
5 Top-Rated Tourist Attractions in Whitehorse
Whitehorse, like Dawson City, owes its existence to the Klondike gold-rush, which began in 1897. Having survived the arduous and sometimes deadly journey from Skagway over White Pass, gold prospectors had to negotiate the Miles Canyon and Whitehorse rapids before descending the Yukon River to Dawson's riches. From the first arrivals, a small settlement grew up on the river's right bank, opposite the present town. The seething, foaming waters of the rapids, rearing like white steeds, gave the settlement its name - Whitehorse (although nothing remains to be seen of the rapids).
Home to half the population of the Yukon, Whitehorse has grown into a major center for arts and culture in recent years. The small but lively territory capital is a hub of the north, standing at the intersection of the Alaska and Klondike Highways, only about 80 kilometers north of the provincial border with British Columbia.
Let's see five tourist attractions in Whitehorse, Canada
1. SS Klondike II National Historic Site
2. Miles Canyon
3. Yukon Wildlife Preserve
4. Yukon Transportation Museum
5. Yukon Beringia Interpretive Centre

Dawson City, Yukon
Dawson City was the center of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush. While there is still mining in the area, Dawson relies more on the summer tourist than anything else. At it’s peak, Dawson City had about 30,000 inhabitants, most of whom were prospectors, but as gold was discovered in Alaska, especially in Nome, the population in Dawson rapidly shrunk. It remained the legal center of the Yukon Territory until the early 1950s when the center was moved to Whitehorse. The decision to build the AlCan Highway bypassing Dawson really hurt the town. Now many of the businesses in Dawson City are run by the Canadian Park Service. It is a fun and historical place to visit.
