Alaska Rivers Smash Records for Earliest Spring Ice Breakup
Alaska Rivers Smash Records for Earliest Spring Ice Breakup
Two Alaskan rivers have smashed records for their earliest spring ice breakup in about 100 years of records after recent mild and record-breaking temperatures.
A large tripod placed on the ice of the Tanana River in the town of Nenana made its move downstream after the ice gave way at 12:21 a.m. AST Sunday, making it the earliest date it has done this in 103 years of records. Nenana is located about an hour drive southwest of Fairbanks in Alaska's interior region.
