| Title | Completed Downstream Cofferdam |
| Description | Here the river has been blocked off by the downstream arm of the crossriver cofferdam, forcing it to flow thru the new channel on the west side of block 40. The upstream arm of the cofferdam is about to be closed, after which the enclosed area will be pumped dry and excavated. Note the frozen earth dam across the narrow gorge in the foreground. It is believed that drainage from the second ice sheet, flowing in the opposite direction to the present channel, exposed the east side bedrock... |
