3 Degrees Fahrenheit, Blizzards, Icebergs and Frostbite -- My Journey Beneath the Streets of New York with Steve Duncan

We drove uptown to the Sawmill River that flows beneath Yonkers on New York City's outskirts. Once known as Nepperhan Creek, the river has a long history. As Steve put it, "You go back in time as you move further along the river, from the early 20th century to the 19th century, all the way up to the 18th century. The Sawmill River used to be a stream that brought water to Native American villages, so it was an essential part of people's lives long before pioneers settled New York. In other words, it's an old timer among old timers that has watched this city grow since before it was even called New York."

We managed to shoot everything with our tiny Action Cam (like the kind used here: http://youtu.be/6F1rG-rpfhg) without having to lug a bunch of gear.

今回はニューヨーク郊外の町、ヨンカーズの地下を流れるソウミル川に防水装備のカメラを取り付けたアクションダックを使って川の流れを体験した。マイナス16度の中、都市歴史学者のスティーブ・ダンカンと150年の歴史を遡りながら荒い川を下ることにした。スタート地点は現代のヨンカーズ、そこから奥へ進むことで18世紀まで時間を遡ることができたのだ。
