The Lot 32 Enigma. A Battle Between the Unstoppable Forces of Nature and the Natural World.

For three years I have been studying this mighty Fraser river, and the unbelievable happening of winter forces. Being the second largest waterway pouring into the Pacific Ocean, it is hard to believe that anything could stop this river, but when left to the force of Mother Nature, the forces of the Fraser are much too small. Spanning nearly 1400 KM, the Fraser river flows through an variety of different ecosystems, with tributaries pouring in from all across BC. The force and amount of water flowing down this valley is at a scale too big to comprehend. Out my front door, the river looks calm and slow, which is consistent for several hundred KM upriver, but downriver only 1 KM is a different story. The narrows start just below my place and continue for quite some time. In the winter, the slow section above Lot 32 allows for water to begin the freezing process, and when that ice meets the narrows, there is not enough surface area to allow this ice to pass, and the process of an Ice Jam begins, as well as my new found deep fascination with this powerful phenomenon. #nature #wild #canada #ice #survival #extremewinter If you have been enjoying this channel, and would like to help support the upcoming projects and videos, please consider taking a look at the Patreon page or the Merchandise line.
