It’s Alive! All our rivers are!
When you stand next to a river, its path doesn't seem to move. But this series of satellite images of Peru's Ucayali River — featured in Time Magazine's Timelapse project — reveals something pretty remarkable.
Over the course of fewer than 20 years, its path crawls back and forth, carving out deeper and deeper curves before cutting them off and starting over.
All rivers naturally change their path over time, but this one forms meanders (the technical name for these curves) at an especially fast rate, due to the speed of the water, the amount of sediment in it, and the surrounding landscape.

That kind of thing would be interesting to see here in New Zealand's South Island.
A lot of the rivers are what are called "braided" rivers, for obvious reasons, and they change their path quite a lot.
