Useful information:
The Mackenzie River is a 1903-kilometre-long stream in the Northwest Territories of Canada.
It was named after the Scotsman Alexander MacKenzie, who discovered it in 1789. In 2015, the Northwest Territories officially approved five names for the Mackenzie River in the language of the indigenous inhabitants of Canada's longest river.
The Mackenzie begins at the western tip of Great Slave Lake and flows northwest through the valleys between the Mackenzie Mountains, which are a northern continuation of the Rocky Mountains, and the Franklin Mountains, which form a low mountain range west of Great Bear Lake, before emptying into the Mackenzie Bay of the Beaufort Sea in a large river delta, the Mackenzie Delta.
