Video: The 24km river in Canada disappears in just 4 days

The Slims River is 24km long, 150m wide and 3m deep through Canada during the past 300 years suddenly disappeared after only 4 days, this is the first time recorded in 18,000 years.

The river water level dropped significantly in just 4 days, so large that the river could not revive.

Today, the river is only a dry wasteland. This is not a gradual transformation. Measurements show that the river level is significantly reduced in just 4 days, so large that the river cannot revive.

Now, the wind churns dust storms from the riverbed ruins. So what happened?

This is the result of a rare phenomenon called "stolen river". This phenomenon occurs when the river changes currents for some reason. For the Slims River, the cause is due to the rapid acquisition of glaciers. Ice water melts from the Kaskawulsh glacier in Canada into the Slims River. But in 2016, glacier water flows too far, so ice water doesn't flow to the Slims River anymore.
