"= Natural History = Best viewed large.
After cutting straight through a thrust-faulted landform, the North Nahanni River turns 90 degrees and follows the aptly named Battlement Range. A thick section of limestone has been pushed up into the sky along with a veneer of 'skid-greasing' shale now draped like black curtains on the cliffs and scree slopes. A mid-river encounter with a lynx will soon take place. Watercraft is a 16 ft Coleman freighter canoe. This muddy river is often shallow enough to tap bottom with my paddle so I cannot make use of my small kicker until I reach the Mackenzie River. Zoom into flickr's dot on the map for this photo to see the braided channels of the North Nahanni River, Mackenzie Mountains, Northwest Territories, Canada. "
