I’ve visited Dominica (btw, pronounced dom-ih-NEE-ka , just to confuse us). One must walk through the Valley of Desolation to get to the Boiling Lake. It’s a strenuous trip over that mountainous terrain you mentioned, but well worth the effort. The Valley is crisscrossed with volcanic hot streams, some with black stream beds, some with white. Occasionally one of each will come together and for a short time the resultant stream is black on one side, white in the other.
"Valley of Desolation? Professor, are we even allowed there!" "Why of course! It's just a name... like the Boiling Lake. Or Dead Man's Ravine. All the places have names like that on the Island of Dominica."
The Valley of Desolation? Isn't that the feature that eventually narrows down to the legendary Gorge of Eternal Peril, which can only be crossed by a primitive wood and rope structure called the Bridge of Death, and only after correctly answering fiv ... I mean three, questions posed by the bridge keeper to those foolhardy enough to make the attempt?
you should make a video on the volcanic activity that stretched from Oklahoma to Lake Superior almost a billion years ago, it lasted for a few million years and caused a large change in the environment in the area
@@Benson_aka_devils_advocate_88 I believe it was first Spanish, then French, then British, then independent. The name "Dominica" comes from "Domingo", Spanish for Sunday. And yes, colonization sucks.
@@soly-dp-colo6388Indeed, dominico/a/os/as are the adjectival forms of domingo in Spanish (from Latin dominicus, from Dominus, Domini, the Lord: dei Dominicus, the Lord's day: Sunday).
You should make a video on the largest impact crater in uk located under Scotland, its 1.2 billion years old and its one of the largest impact crater on earth
I imagine this Valley of Desolation is, if not sparsely populated, then completely uninhabited. I mean, what with all the Noxious games, and the potential for an Eruption at any time...
Um Nope! While in Puerto Rico I was looking for "bud" ? Well the locals made some phone calls to Dominica & a couple hours later a small dark man brought what he grew in the Valley,... oh si compa es muy ta bien
It’s totally uninhabited. Truly desolate. It’s all barren rock, hissing fumaroles, and sulfur deposits. Impossible to live there. A glorious, forbidding place.
There's a few that are quite famous for their violent eruptions. Kinda similar to Sumatra Volcanoes I think with huge quantities of limestone bedrock and other carbonates in upper crust where the magma zones or chambers sit and sit and sit all the while slowly dissolving the limestone and releasing huge amounts of Co2 and other volatiles that combine to make huge holes where there once was a volcanic mountain . I've always wanted to go climb some Caribbean Volcanoes.
These Volcanoes w really long repose between eruptions are the ones in my opinion should be very closely studied and monitored. They seem to eventually blow themselves up completely in plinian eruptions. I would not be surprised if this Volcano has had a plinian eruption before human inhabitants. I look sideways at these Volcanoes lol.
may i suggest a video topic of the sounds of volcanoes?
Great idea!

Caribbean islands are so beautiful 🤩If I may, "Morne" is just pronounced /morn/, as in "mourn". You don't need to say the final E.
Former French colony I take?

Do more videos on Dominica's volcanoes.

Thanks.
Cool
May I suggest the Callander Bay Complex in Ontario, Canada?
RIP headphone users.
Man, Caribbean volcanoes are always scary, it is incredible how powerful they are for non super volcanoes.

I often wonder if the island is being moved or a plate is moving
The plates are moving. Dominica is part of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc, where the Atlantic Plate is being subducted under the Caribbean Plate.
"Valley of desolation". Sounds like a fun holiday spot. Anyone seen the old tv show 'Strange Paradise'?
It’s just a name, visit sometime

Vesuvius please?
Do Azufral
I wonder if the Valley of Desolation could be exploited for its hydrothermal energy potential?
Sure and blow up the plant LOL
Remember no one today will be allowed to evacuate via cruise ship unless fully vaccinated 🤬
Oh sorry that was a couple of years ago when last volcano erupted
Please hire a human being to do the narrative. These AI voice-overs are aggravating.
It sounds terrible. This is about my island and I don’t even want to listen
