Lake Day ~ February

It had been two years since we pulled out the canoe and headed for the lake…

Well… Hello!

For my first go around at this blogging adventure I’d have to say I’m pretty clueless where to begin.

Duluth. What makes a Duluth summer so great? It seems to be a conglomeration of sunshine, Lake Superior and truly unique events happening across the twin ports community.

甚麼是堰塞湖？

簡單來說，堰塞湖 (Quake Lake)（堰，粵音「演」，解作「擋水的低壩」）是在地震時引起的山體滑坡、崩落堵塞了河谷，使河水無路可走，因而形成的「臨時」湖（即是和「坑渠淤塞」差不多）。說是臨時，因為這些由地震而起的土砂流形成之天然壩結構鬆散，易被水滲透。當水位越來越高，水壓加大，再加上如果遇到餘震，那這個天然壩潰決的機會就很大！

實際上，根據科學研究顯示，有八成以上的堰塞湖會於半年之內崩堤。這對湖下游地區構成極大的危險。（但如果那堰塞湖的成因是火山爆發 ~ 如日本箱根的富士五湖，那由於岩漿的黏力較高，滲水程度便較小，泥土的抓力也較強，所以相對來說那些天然壩會較穩陣…
