		The Liard River in the Yukon Territory is a very slow moving, meandering river.
		The scars, created when a channel in the river is cut off from the main flow and the remaining water eventually disappears, often have vegetation that is substantially different from the surrounding area.
		A further testament to the slow movement of water is revealed by the numerous sand islands and spits that have formed in the river, most often on the inside of the river bends.
