The Salmon River below the Glacier

The river is at the top. Glacier silt makes it milky. The blue areas are called kettles. These are depressions where the silt has settled out.

This is a close up of the kettle shown in the photo below. Note that part of the milky water is spilling into the kettle because of rising water.

This is the river valley. The blue spot at the lower right is the kettle shown above. Both photos taken from the same spot in the edge of the road going down.

Another shot of the same kettle, note the waterfall on the right side.
