The mystery arch bridge

The Colourful Five Per Cent Scrapbook
Yukon News
I was wondering if this unique, mysterious arch was a result of ice from the leftovers of a glacier.
It is an L.C. Read photograph. His studio was in Atlin, BC. The photograph was probably taken between 1910 and 1915. The people standing on the top-centre of the arch bridge were taking a chance. I think they were local tourists. I believe the photo was taken in the Atlin, BC, area.
The photo is from the Jim Robb Collection.
