The poetics of experimental ice bridges
Abstract
Dawson City rests upon Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in land and is spread across two opposite banks of the Yukon River. Around 100 residents on the west bank live off grid and each autumn spend a month cut off from the main services of the small town until the river freezes over completely. Last year, and again this year, the river has not completely frozen over. A thin dark blue vein remains pulsing and rushing in-between two expanded banks of shelf ice.
