Where/When Does The Story Take Place?

A short story by Jack London. There are two versions of this story, one published in 1902 and the other in 1908. The story written in 1908 has become popular and is about an unnamed protagonist who ventures out in the subzero boreal forest of the Yukon Territory, accompanied by his dog, to visit his friends—ignoring warnings from an older man about the dangers of hiking alone. The protagonist underestimates the harsh conditions and slowly begins to freeze to death. After trying and failing to build a fire, he slips into unconsciousness and dies of hypothermia.
