The Klondike River is a tributary of the Yukon River in Canada that gave its name to the Klondike Gold Rush. The Klondike River has its source in the Ogilvie Mountains and flows into the Yukon River at Dawson City. Its name comes from the Hän word ''Tr'ondëk'' (//) meaning ''hammerstone'', which were used to hammer down stakes used to set salmon nets. Gold was discovered in tributaries of the Klondike River in 1896 which started the Klondike gold rush, and is still being mined today. In Jack London's story "A Relic of the Pliocene" (''Collier's Weekly'', 1901), this river was mentioned as "Reindeer River". (See Reindeer Lake.) ==Gallery== File:Dawson City Rivers Lookout 3264px.jpg|Klondike River (left) flowing into the Yukon River (top and right) at Dawson City File:Klondike River crossing Dempster Highway 2.JPG|Klondike River crossing Dempster Highway (downstream) File:Mouth of the Klondike River to the Yukon River.JPG|Mouth of the Klondike River to the Yukon River at Dawson City 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Klondike River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
