Explanation:

Yukon, a mountainous territory in Canada, is used as the setting for the tragic short story "To Build a Fire" by American author Jack London. London portrays Yukon as an inhospitable environment - at least for those who have no respect and reverence for Nature's power. The details that help us understand how harsh the Yukon territory is are:

1. It is "exceedingly cold and gray" - We know human beings need heat to be able to survive. We also tend to associate the color green with life, while gray seems barren.

2. The temperature is seventy-five below zero. - Again, such an extreme temperature does not reassure us of the possibility of survival.

3. Even though it is nine o'clock, there is no sign of the sun. - Without the heat the sun provides, we can only imagine how insufferably cold Yukon is, as well as scary.
