The Yukon River freezes in the winter, but in the spring the ice starts to break up and the river flows under and around the ice flows in shades of blue ranging from turquoise to indigo. The exact time and date of breakup of the ice on the Yukon River has been recorded and bet on annually since 1896. A tripod is set up on the ice at Dawson upstream from Whitehorse, and connected by cable to a clock on the shore. When the ice starts moving, it takes the tripod with it and stops the clock, recording the official break up time. This year it was April 23 at 11:15 am, the earliest break-up on record. In Whitehorse the river was already starting to breakup in March
