Klondike Gold Rush, Yukon Territory, Canada

Years: 1896 - 1899

The Klondike Gold Rush, infrequently referred to as the Yukon Gold Rush or Alaska Gold Rush, is a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and for gold prospecting, along the Klondike River near Dawson City, Yukon, after gold had been discovered there in the late 19th century.

In total, about 12.5 million ounces of gold (about 20.12m3) have been taken from the Klondike area in the century since its discovery.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

― George Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905)
