The water Is bright yellow In one
place, red In another and light biuing

Bear creek, differing from other
streams. freezes at the bottom first in
stead of the surface. This Is caused by
Il rocky formation. similar to CORFU

ment of the water. forcing the surface
to move swlfter. In this way air bub-
bles are shot downward, carrying
freezing temperatures, and ice forms.
Often IN winter the stream flows while
the bed is solid ice,
This stream also contains more

bedrock. Later 1t reappears and re-

Rocks seen floating are a sort OF

The yellow color is directed from the
