The Columbia’s Graveyard
Season 10 Episode 6 | 6m 33s | CC
For European explorers, finding the Columbia River wasn’t easy, and frustrating (see Cape Disappointment). Even once they did, the place where the river joins the Pacific turned out to be anything but pacific. Thousands have died at the Columbia River’s bar and adjacent coast. Why is the river so deadly? And what evidence can you see today?
