I love the chaotic jumble. I am reminded of the ice after the tide is out here.
Captured on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 2:50 PM, this film showcases an extraordinary natural event on the River Sjoa in Heidal. With temperatures plunging between 20 and 30 degrees below zero, the conditions were set for a remarkable phenomenon. While ice formation on this river isn’t unusual—occurring several times each winter—this particular event was much more powerful and expansive than normal. The spectacle unfolds when the bottom of the river freezes, causing the water masses to dam up. Eventually, the immense pressure forces the ice to break loose, which in this instance happened about 20 kilometers upstream. The result is a dramatic surge of ice and water rushing downstream, all captured brilliantly in this footage. This rare occurrence highlights the raw power of nature in extreme conditions, offering a captivating glimpse into the dynamic forces at play in frozen landscapes.
Ice dam breaks and it is dramatic. There are a lot of ice jams here but I don’t rememeber hearing of any like that.

Do you receive postal delivery from USPS Gen Delivery in Magdalena?
Thank you for Querencia and much more!
I haven’t heard from Steve in months. Maybe a year. I don’t know his status. I wrote him twice this month and no reply. I doubt I have the ability to fix the paypal issue.
I have been filling in for Steve for 4 years. I doubt he is coming back. I get no feedback on the blog and it seems no one is looking at it. It may be time to move on.
I’m in Magdalena now, the reality is that dealing with medical stuff and daily life is really all they can manage at this point. Michael Watson, you’re very kind, I’m sure they’d love something in their box: 709.
If either of you want to touch base further, feel free to reach out via the contact info on my blog, though I might not respond until I’m back home in a few days.
I very much understand Stephen’s plight and wish him much continued happiness and perhaps to do what Spirit has given him the ability to do, share his heart with his raptors as they soar and continue bring him immense joy!
