Klondike
Frozen northern fortune
Klondike refers to a region in Canada's Yukon Territory, site of the famous 1890s gold rush that drew thousands of prospectors.
The name evokes images of frontier adventure and sudden wealth.
Klondike also names a popular single-player card game, often called solitaire: I played Klondike on my phone during the commute.
The Klondike bar is an ice cream treat.
