Upriver from Tanana, Alaska, 1997 Photograph by Jay Dickman A log
cabin, equipped with an enormous satellite, overlooks the mighty Yukon
River. Frozen solid over the winter, the 1,979-mile-long
(3,184-kilometer-long) river is born again every spring with a roar of
breaking ice, leaving the villages along its banks susceptible to
floods from ice jams.

published in, "The Untamed Yukon River," July 1998, National Geographic
 magazine)    RELATED
