Justin Bieber delivered a stripped-down, armor-free rendition of 'Yukon' at the Grammys, performing with loops, a purple guitar, and a stage mirror while wearing boxer shorts—a moment of vulnerability that reframed his artistry even as he left trophy night without awards.
Justin Bieber performed a shirtless rendition of Yukon at the Grammys, wearing gym shorts and socks while looping a guitar and drum sample, with Hailey Bieber watching from the crowd as he marks a rare on-stage return ahead of his Coachella headlining slot.
Yukon is experiencing an extreme cold snap with temperatures dropping to -50°C due to a high-pressure Arctic ridge, causing power grid stress and potential blackouts, with temperatures expected to gradually rise next week as the high-pressure system moves away.
A new study suggests that the Tintina fault in Canada's Yukon, previously considered dormant, is active and accumulating strain, indicating a potential for a major earthquake of at least magnitude 7.5 in the future, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
Research suggests the Tintina fault in Yukon, Canada, which has been quiet for over 12,000 years, may be capable of producing a magnitude 7.5 earthquake due to accumulated tectonic strain, prompting a reassessment of regional seismic risks.
New research suggests the Tintina fault in Yukon, previously thought dormant for over 40 million years, may still be active and capable of producing a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, posing a significant seismic risk to the region.
Researchers discovered a well-preserved ice age horse skull in a Yukon mine, estimated to be around 30,000 years old. The skull's physical features suggest it was a juvenile male, but precise species identification requires further genetic analysis. The find provides valuable insights into North American horse species during the last ice age.
Around 80 astroscientists from global universities and space agencies gathered in Yukon for the 8th international conference on Mars polar science. They explored local glaciers and terrain, noting striking similarities to Martian landscapes, which could aid future Mars exploration and research.
A 2-year-old child was tragically hit by a vehicle in a Yukon restaurant parking lot while walking with their parents. Despite medical efforts, the child died from their injuries at a level one trauma hospital. Yukon police are urging witnesses or anyone with additional information to come forward, and the Chick-fil-A where the incident occurred will be closed for the rest of the day.
X-ray scans have revealed a 30,000-year-old mummified ground squirrel from the ice age, found by a gold miner in the Klondike gold fields near Dawson City, Yukon. The frozen hairball was actually a young, curled-up Arctic ground squirrel that likely died in hibernation, possibly during its first year. The Klondike gold fields of the Yukon have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. As global temperatures continue to rise, discoveries like these are likely to become more common.
A gold miner in the Klondike gold fields near Dawson City, Yukon, found a mummified grapefruit-sized ground squirrel in 2018. X-ray scans revealed that the squirrel is 30,000 years old and likely died during hibernation. The Klondike gold fields have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. Discoveries like these are likely to become more common as global temperatures continue to rise due to human emissions of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide and methane, causing the permafrost to thaw and reveal everything from mummified creatures to viruses and anthrax deposits.

A gold miner in the Yukon discovered a mangled ball of fur that turned out to be a 30,000-year-old mummified ground squirrel from the ice age. X-ray scans revealed that the squirrel was in great condition and likely died during hibernation. The Klondike gold fields of the Yukon have been covered in permafrost since the ice age, making the area perfect for preserving creatures that died back then. Gold miners have previously found a mummified wolf pup and an immaculately preserved baby mammoth.
A miner in the Yukon goldfields discovered a Fur Sphere, a mummified 30,000-year-old arctic ground squirrel that died while hibernating. The squirrel was curled up in a fetal position, suggesting it died while hibernating. The Fur Sphere will be displayed at the Yukon Beringia Interpretive Center. Arctic ground squirrels spend seven to eight months of the year hibernating, during which time they adopt the lowest body temperature recorded in any mammal.
The mummified remains of a 30,000-year-old Arctic ground squirrel have been discovered in Canada's Yukon near Hester Creek. The specimen is in remarkable condition, with its tiny claws and skeleton remaining intact. The squirrel was likely hibernating when it died, and its remains were preserved in permafrost. The discovery adds to the collection of frozen animals recovered from the area, providing insight into the unique ecosystem of the Ice Age.
