Every year a huge tripod is erected on the Tanana River, near the town of Nenana and everyone guesses the exact month, day and minute the tripod will fall thru the ice. This is the official break up. This is a huge event and last year someone won $$285,000!! The deadline is April 5th. Check out the Nenana Ice Classic site!
This is the tripod being erected this year.
Julie and Martin are skiing to Nenana today on the river, they should be safe. Nenana is 65 miles from Fairbanks and you can ski the Tanana river to get there.
