Here’s something
unusual…a Dégelis, a word that comes from Old French, means a part of the water
free of ice… no matter how cold the conditions are…this is the phenomenon
observed in Dégelis, Quebec which is a small community on the Quebec and New
Brunswick border…there appears to be no apparent reason for this…it is both
unusual and unexplained…the city itself is located on the banks of the
Madawaska River (Saint John River)… the city was given its name due to this
physical phenomenon… imagine…a portion of the river located in front the
village that never freezes…how bizarre!
