Liard River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Den 1.115 km lange Liard River løber gennem Yukon, British Columbia og Northwest Territories i Canada. Den har sit udspring i Saint Cyr Range i Pelly Mountains i den sydøstlige del af Yukon, og løber mod sydøst gennem British Columbia, markerer nordenden af Rocky Mountains og svinger så mod nordøst tilbage til Yukon og Northwest Territories, og løber ud i Mackenzie River ved Fort Simpson, Northwest Territories. Floden afvander omkring 277.100 km² tajga og muskeg (canadisk betegnelse for arktisk højmose).[1]

Området omkring floden er en undersektion af Lower Mackenzie Freshwater Ecoregion. I Yukon Territory kaldes det Liard River Valley, og Alaska Highway følger floden på en del af dens rute. De omgivende områder kaldes også Liard Plain.
Liard River krydses også af skovbisoner fra Nahanni Nationalpark på deres vandringer.[2]
