Now what? I tried asking MetaFilter without success, so how about suggestions on outdoor / adventure / natural history / other sites where I can ask this question: What book contains this description (and where in the book if possible)? Alaskan / Yukon rivers that freeze on the surface in the winter, then run dry beneath the ice, leaving river tunnels which bears and other animals then inhabit.

Alaskan / Yukon rivers that freeze on the surface in the winter, then run dry beneath the ice, leaving river tunnels which bears and other animals then inhabit. Thought it might be John McPhee's Coming Into the Country, or Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams, but paging through both I couldn't find it.
