the Arctic Circle isn’t showing
any signs of cracking, it was re

Fort Yukon. Average thickness
is 22 inches.
Usually open throughout the
winter at one or two spots in
front of the town, the river was
completely sealed in January
when the temperature skidded to
a low of 69.5 degrees below zero.
From January 15 to January 26
the thermometer here never read
higher than 50 below.
With the sun swinging back in
to the Arctic and the temperature
climbing above zero now and then,
Melville announced he will soon
install a tripod timing devite on
the Yukon ice in front of the Epis
copal Mission and Hospital. A
breakup “watch shack” is being
constructed on the river bank.
Winner or Winners of the first
Fort Yukon breakup guessing
contest will be announced at a
