More lava flowed along the terrain, blocking the path of the river below, eventually forming five beaded lakes.

更多的熔岩顺着地势前进阻塞了山下的河道最终形了五个串珠状的湖泊。

Spots of melting snow have created ponds and channels that refreeze into stunning veins of blue ice.

融化的雪点形了河道，这些河道重新冻结惊叹的蓝色冰脉。

And you'd generally see a river that's straighter but often with what's called river braiding, multiple channels with small, usually temporary islands forming in between them.

因此，你通常会看到一条较为笔直的河流， 但常常会有所谓的河流交错现象，即多条河道之间形了一些小的、通常是暂时性的岛屿。

But if this had been the case in Mesopotamia then it would have been in the areas that a river shifted towards that settlements would have formed.

但如果美索不达米亚是这种情况，那么就应该是在新河道附近形定居点。
