The Mackenzie is a major river system in Canada, flowing approximately 4,200 kilometers through the northwest part of the country. It begins in the Rocky Mountains and empties into the Arctic Ocean. The river drains a large area called the Mackenzie Basin, supporting diverse ecosystems and communities. It's essential for transportation, natural habitats, and natural resources like fish and minerals. The Mackenzie River also plays a crucial role in Indigenous cultures and local economies, serving as a vital link across northern Canada and highlighting the region's wilderness and ecological importance.
