Also spot the glacier in the center-right of the picture - it's Bolivia's Tuni glacier.

"And it is disappearing faster than initially anticipated. Scientists from the Universidad Mayor de San Andrés (UMSA), who monitor the Tuni and other regional glaciers, told Reuters the once sprawling glacier had been reduced to just one square kilometer.

Where once they had predicted it would last through 2025, now they say its disappearance is imminent." source

There are many creeks that constitute the river. If you look on Google Maps or other photos of the area, they kind of look like woven strands through the black rocks. Some of them are super wide and some are narrow like this one!

Reply to The White Rim, cracked and crumbling into the abyss. Canyonlands, Utah [OC] [5423x3615] by Chipotle42

Very different from the same rock layer along the Green River which is much thicker. On this side there are like a zillion hoodoos because the White Rim layer is so hard and and broken into small sections forming a perfect cap. I highly recommend taking the White Rim Road and seeing these beautiful places from up close (you can see a bit of it in this photo, winding around), e.g.: https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/comments/eqo4be/the_surreal_desolation_below_the_white_rim/
