...Middle Yukon River Breakup Status...



The Yukon River has broken up in Galena. Ice started running 

Thursday around 5 pm and has continued overnight. Reports indicate 

that moving ice has continued past Bishop's Rock and down to Nulato. 

Kokrines Bible Camp reported the river open and ice free on Thursday 

evening. The ice is quite rotten and moving smoothly with a water 

level rise of 7 ft accompanying the ice run. River Watch will be 

flying downriver from Galena to the breakup front today and then 

checking upstream to see how much ice has cleared out and will 

provide updates.
