Yvon of the Yukon was a fun Canadian animated cartoon show. Each episode was about 26 minutes long. The story is about a French explorer named Yvon Ducharme. He got frozen in a block of ice in the Yukon after falling off his boat. The show follows Yvon as he tries to get used to life in the modern Yukon.

The cartoon takes place in a made-up town called Upyermukluk. This name is a funny play on words, using "Up your mukluk".
