Today’s Meandering Monday is a little different.

Today’s Meandering Monday is a little different...this is a map of the meandering Mississippi River near Vicksburg, Mississippi back in 1944. Although the scenery is not the same, we can still appreciate the geology surrounding this river! Each of the colors represents a previous bank line. The Mississippi River is shown in white (ish) and the scale on the right tells us which color is associated with which date/stage.

If you’ve got nothing to do this week/weekend, take some inspiration from the Lapland Wilderness Challenge! This is a strenuous challenge in the wilderness of Finland where participants are challenged with how far they can hike in 5 days! The winning team for 2020 hiked approximately 400 km or 250 mi. See if you can beat that! Do not over-exert yourself and be responsible! #hikingadventures

Happy Meandering Monday!! Hope everyone had a grand weekend. We would like to welcome you into week 3 of Meandering Monday with this beautiful view of the Alatna River in Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska. This national park has the largest area of any other national park in the United States, but is also the least visited by far. In the summer, this river is popular for tubing and kayaking. The first 40 km (35 mi) are shallow and slow-moving while the following 24 km (15 mi) are deeper, and contain more rapids. Then, this river meets the Koyukuk River at a confluence near Allukakut, Alaska. DM us a picture of your favorite meandering river for a chance to be featured on our next Meandering Monday!

It’s Meandering Monday! Today’s feature is this beautiful shot of the Morava River near Strážnice, Czech Republic taken by Zbyněk Hruboš.
The Morava River is a tributary to the Danube River that spans across Europe. The richness in biodiversity ranks second in all of Europe just behind the Danube Delta!

Shoutout to our Bonner Intern, Destiny Witt, for this amazing drawing of the Etowah Darter!
It’s habitat in the Etowah River, Long Swamp, and Amicalola Creek is slowly being polluted and destroyed. If you see one of these little guys, consider yourself lucky as they are a rare species!

Welcome to our new series of Meandering Monday! A

Welcome to our new series of Meandering Monday!
A meandering stream or river is a channel of water that bends and winds through the landscape similar to a slithering snake. Today will feature this beautiful meandering river in the Kimberly Region of Western Australia. The Kimberly plateau region is also referred to as the Kimberlys, with the sandstone plateau as large as 162,000 sq. miles (or 420,000 sq. km)! Rivers like these cut through ancient coral reefs that create beautiful waterfalls and deep gorges.
