- Drone flying over The Hot Creek Pools, located in the Long Valley Caldera near Mammoth Lakes, California, USA. There is plenty of evidence that the Long Valley Caldera is still active. The meltwater from the Sierras infiltrates to depths of several miles through faults where it is super-heated to 430F (220C); the high-pressure keeps the water from boiling. Since hot water is less dense than cold water, it rises through steeply-inclined fractures and is discharged at hydrothermal springs at the surface along Hot Creek. The white material is calcium-carbonate which precipitates out of the spring water as it cools. These calcium-carbonate deposits reflect light very well; when light goes through the water, the red light is absorbed and the blue light is reflected creating the vibrant blue color. The bluer the water, the hotter the water.

You've explored some wonderfully spectacular places. Thank you, Todd. 💕
Absolutely wonderful video. A pleasure to watch... 🤙
What a cool spot!!
Todd - your videos are fantastic! We need to get you more exposure. Nick has some serious competition.😎⛰
Thanks Dan! Haha! I can't be compared to the Master, but I appreciate the nod. I'm just appreciative for someone like him sharing his wealth of knowledge and really his ability to take in very technical information and dispense it in such a way that it is understandable to lay-folk like me. That's my goal too!
Looks like it may have been much more hydorthermically active in the past, now just a few hot spots.
Nice drone video.
Actually in recent history it’s gotten more active in the last 10ish years. People used to be able to swim in hot creek and now it’s forbidden due to scalding injuries/ deaths
when you're fishing in a creek ontop a caldera...
I remember going to Hot Creek several times in 72 and 73. Those blue pools were not there and there were no fences. There was lots of naked as a Jaybird Hippies in the hot part of the Creek, but no geyser upwellings of 97C water or 200F. At that altitude over 6,000 feet the boiling point of water was a little under 212F, the boiling point at sea level. Now there was a part of the creek that was too hot to venture into. I remember someone's poor dog jumped into that hot area and there wasn't anything we could do.
I camped out up the creek aways as there wasn't any rules against it. There were some signs saying to beware of the hot part of the creek and to stay away from the boiling pots I used to hard boil eggs in. Only law for the most part were fish and game officers checking for licenses. Now it's all fenced off to keep people out as the water where I used to soak, in my swim trunks, has those hot geyser eruptions that can kill you. I don't know how those hot blue pools formed, but they're fenced off too now to keep idiots from falling in I suppose.
Thanks for sharing your story. Poor doggo.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I'm hooked on your drone videos. You gotta figure out a way to port the video over to an Oculus set. ~~~~ BoOm ~+ :O
Whoa that would be awesome!
nice video nice music tho I would like to learn about what I looking at, geologically SPEAKING, thanks
Yeah, with certain footage (especially drone footage) I don't want to ruin the visual experience with my mug and voice :) haha! Just a different style of post where I'm showcasing the beauty of the area. However, to your point, I usually will always put a description in the caption so you know what you're looking at. Thanks for watching!
@@geologicallyspeaking - Personally (not that anyone asked) I dont think you cab ruin the video, I love learning about the geology of California, especially long involved videos, hoping for more in the future
Wish I could fly my drone as well as you !!!!
John Lord Ha! I edited out all the jerky parts.
