About this episode
While interviewing Dr. Laurence C. Smith for an episode in May about his new book, "Rivers of Power, we went down a rabbit hole of talking about Supraglacial Rivers. This short conversation gets the basics of these unique rivers that start on the top of the glaciers and is a more candid expression from Dr. Smith about this topic that he researches at great depth. Supraglacial rivers are constantly moving their locations, changing flows and are unique among rivers as they carry no sediment.
