Taiga Summer - Yukon Tapestry

A typical summer scene in the Yukon taiga, also known as the boreal forest. Customizable text reading "The Yukon" also appears. The Black Spruce, Picea mariana, tends to assume the columnar form as seen is this image, when growing in marshy, wet soil. The world’s largest terrestrial biome, the taiga covers most of inland Canada and Alaska. Much of Siberia is taiga as are areas of northern Europe. Large population centers, such as Moscow and Toronto, can be found in the southern portion of this biome, but the northern portion is largely unpopulated.
