Save the date! All are welcome at the 2026 KLRS Community BBQ this May Long, Monday May 18 from 12 to 3pm.
The Arctic Institute of North America operates the Kluane Lake Research Station (KLRS). Located on the south shore of Lhù’ààn Mân (Kluane Lake), KLRS is privileged to be situated within the Traditional Territory of the Kluane First Nation (KFN) and the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN). Research in the region often occurs within the Traditional Territories of KFN, CAFN, and the White River First Nation (WRFN).
The extreme elevation difference between Lhù’ààn Mân and the crest of the St. Elias Mountains establishes a strong gradient in environmental attributes, providing a remarkable diversity of research opportunities within a small geographical area. Researchers staying at KLRS study a variety of disciplines, including glaciology, geomorphology, geology, biology, botany, zoology, hydrology, and climatology. Over 1500 scientific papers have been published, many of which are described in the Kluane Lake Research Station bibliographic database.
Save the date! All are welcome at the 2026 KLRS Community BBQ this May Long, Monday May 18 from 12 to 3pm.
Save the new date! You are invited to the 2025 KLRS Open House to be held at the Station on Saturday September 13th from 3 to 7pm.
