| Description |
Baikal Sedge (Carex sabulosa ssp leiophylla), is found in south-central and southwestern Yukon, Alaska and amphiberingian regions throughout the world. Its habitat is sand dunes, river deltas and creek banks. As the wind blows, the blades of this sedge form arcs in the sand as can be seen at the top right. For more information, contact the Yukon Conservation Data Center at 867-667-3684 or yukoncdc@gov.yk.ca and request the Yukon Rare Plant Information Sheet, January 2004. While not a desert at all, Carcross Desert, as the locals are inclined to call it, is actually a large deposit of sand on a glacial lake bed. The sand is blown from the beach at Bennett Lake about 2 km away, when the water level is low, exposing the large sandy beach. The beach is formed from silt and sand deposited as the Watson River empties into the lake. For more information on this fascinating 260 hectare (642 acre) sand dunes area, visit The Basement Geographer's article, The Carcross Desert. QUS_2824 |
