Life long Vermonter. in 8th grade I remember we did a little unit on the Champlain Sea. Heading to Burlington from the east I always imagined that area being underwater and how much water there must've been. The whale was never mentioned. What a wild story
In 2001, an other beluga has been found on a farm land in Saint-Félix-de-Valois some 20km north of Saint-Laurent river between Montréal and Trois-Rivières.
From the interview with Shawn, I was suprised to hear the story of this whale, and it this video was unexpected, did not expect a video on this. Keep up the great aork GH!
Listening to this, my first thought was 11,000 years ago Gobekli Tepe was transitioning to the first agricultural societies and on the other side of the planet, a Bulaga whale was swimming over what would be Vermont. It's funny where one's mind goes when one hears 11,000 years ago..
The videos which are not just announcements that there's another volcano erupting in Alaska, or that there used to more volcanic activity in the US west, are far more interesting. This and the video about the Kerguelan plateau were excellent. More like these please!
I’m a native Vermonter, never heard of the beluga whale skeleton. Thanks for the information. I had been taught about the Champlain sea and the land rebounding. Especially on northern Vermont you can see various levels the shore had been at one time, now well above current lake level. By the way the town is pronounced like Shar-LOT, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The river connecting the St. Lawrence River with Lake Champlain is pronounced, Rish-loo. The town Quebec town Seguenay, is pronounced, Sag-en-ay.
The date puts it at the end of the ice age. The ice sheets had just retreated. The land hadn't rebounded from having several kilometers of ice on it yet. (It's _still_ rising even now.)
9th gen Vermonter here. I’m as surprised as always when Vermont is brought up by a TH-camr or someone I follow. There’s an art piece depicting a whales tale on the drive into Burlington. I never knew why…
The Whales’ Tails sculpture is, alas, not inspired by Charlotte the Beluga but the artist’s own experience with humpback whales. Search Jim Sardonis and you’ll see his granite and steel sculptures, generally smooth, climbable animals, throughout VT.
It is a little known fact that beluga whales are desperate to consume maple syrup and will travel large distances over obstacles to obtain the sweet liquid. This whale died in pursuit of the gold standard Vermont syrup. But it died happy.
The railroad in question near Charlotte was the Rutland & Burlington Railroad, chartered in 1843 by the state of Vermont to build between Rutland and Burlington. In 1867 the company simplified its name to simply the Rutland Railroad. In the 1870's, the railroad was leased to the Central Vermont Railway (later the Vermont Central Railway which then became a subsidiary of the Grand Trunk Railway before it too was merged into Canadian National in 1923). After a series of strikes, the government of Vermont purchased the former Rutland line south of Burlington and the new Vermont Railway was created to operate and maintain the line. The company has since taken on the operation of various other former CV routes within the state, as well as purchasing the former state-owned routes, and still operates today as a thriving shortline.
Used to be stationed at Plattsburgh AFB, Plattsburgh N.Y.. Sailed Champlain all the time. Had no idea about the about the history of the inland sea. Well done. thanks.
Vermonter here! I always found this so cool and so fascinating. I remember going to see the fossils at the Perkins Museum at the University of Vermont. It is currently closed as they are reorganizing everything, BUT it is worth going there. There are tons of other amazing geological stories in Vermont and a ton of fun museums to explore. Thank you for covering our brave little state.
I love your format! not too short (the shorts you release are fine too), but not 11 1/2 minutes either. and the stuff you cover is very interesting, for someone who knows nothing about geology,. you are part of what makes you tube great. thanks
The Mer de Champlain also emplaced an out-of place layer of clay under the towns of Terrebonne, Blainville, Sainte-Thérèse and Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines. It makes a distinct plateau that rises ~10-20 meters on a not-too steep incline
Would love for you to go deeper into the isostatic movement of the crust since the last glacial maximum, help paint a picture of what humans here had to live with and all that jazz
I got some numbers confused. Was Vermont 600 feet lower 11,000 years ago? 600 feet of rebound to get to the present elevation over 11,000 years is a huge amount of movement.
I'm sure by now someone has corrected your pronunciation: unlike the city in South Carolina, in Vermont the town is pronounced shar-LOT. Love your videos!!
Still amazes me just how much the land was pushed down by the ice sheets....and now humans are doing the same in our cities by putting too much weight via tall buildings in one area....causing the land to sink and that might actually become a very big problem in the future in some coastal cities.
As always Fascinating! Thank you for the detailed explanation. I was aware of the rebounding geologic uplift after the retreat of glaciation but I was *not* aware of the extent and what it would actually mean. This is the first I had heard of the Champlain Sea and that is an AMAZING tale! Not that I would endorse it but this makes the notional Champ, the lake monster of Lake Champlain less "insane" and more "incredibly unlikely". Just my opinion. :) Peaceful Skies
To answer the rhetorical question, he swam... My friend, your presentations are getting better and better. Congratulations and keep working -- someone is going to recognize your blossoming talent. 👏🏻👍🏻🤙🏻👌🏻 --- A-OK In any sign language. 🇺🇸🧙🏼♂️ 💙
Your intelligence and, concise and succinct communication is amazing. How do you do it? Gdi. I'm sooo addicted to your channel, and I'm in my late 40s. It's like I've been gifted the opportunity to return to school.
I blame a MOOSE! I reckon a moose was on the coast one day and befriended a beluga whale. The whale said "bro, I want to live where you live." The moose said "bro, are you sure? That's waaaay inland!" Whale - "yeah bro, let's do it!" After a few weeks, with the moose saying "come on man - no pain, no gain" , the whale and moose got to Vermont and they lived happily ever after........ ;)
Is is amazing that this is all so recent. You forced me to read up on the Champlain sea and found one document that outlines some of the canadian side of things, including how when Ottawa was discovered, the marshes along what is now Preston Street were remnants of the Champlain Sea.
GEOLOGICAL and other "Scientific" evidence aside... Perhaps it was BABY BELUGA?** Who, as everyone KNOWS swims freely. HO! HO! HO! And a Merry Xmas! **[Baby Beluga is a children's music album by Canadian children's entertainer Raffi, released in 1980. The lead song is about a young beluga whale that swims freely. The album begins with the sounds of beluga whales communicating and includes compositions that create images of the ocean and whales at play. NOTE: I remember it well. My Wife and I heard it at least 3,000 times in the 1980s: 1,000 times for each of our 3 children. We attended a live performance, to our children's delight. Mom and Dad wore sound canceling headphones.
Today, abroad in Japan released a video about the earthquake that happened 1/1/24 and Tokyo’s preparedness for “the big” one. I’d love to get your thoughts on it.
I'd be interested to hear thoughts about the Atlantis story. As you just presented, the glaciers during the LGM put enormous pressure on the crust. The North American plate was deeply depressed and we're still seeing it rising slowly today in parts. Presumably the same would be true of other regions where glaciers were extant. If so, the weight of the glaciers would have pushed down on the Earth from the poles like squishing a balloon, causing the equatorial regions to elevate, wouldn't they? Would we have seen areas along the Mid-Atlantic ridge be significantly elevated or even above water at this time? Is it possible there was in fact an Atlantis island beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Gibralter) in some place like the Azores? I'd love to hear a geologist's take on this, and you always bring the data!
One land beluga was found in Quebec back in 2001, at Saint-Félix-de-Valois. And, just for those speaking English and unsure of how to pronounce Saguenay, it should sound like "sag a ney" and many people living there are saying it so fast that is sounds more like "sag ney".
Hey Geology Hub, I got an interesting video idea for ya Ancient Tornado Alleys Geography plays a HUGE role in North America's tornado alleys, so I think it would be kind of an interesting topic to find out what areas of Pangea or other old continents may have had tornado alleys, or if North America's tornado alleys happen to be a very unique event
That actually does sound like a very interesting subject. The issue is that it's hard to know the topography . The mountains, plains and also the air and sea currents would be very hard to give solid answers on
Weather patterns are also a huge factor in "tornado alley" which in itself a misnomer. Also very difficult to tell if the weather patterns of the far past would be conducive for tornado formation. There's just no way to preserve that much info. Tornado Alley is just a name given by storm chasers and weather enthusiasts. It's not a real thing. The area that is good for storm chasing and filming isn't even where most tornados form. Look at a historical map of all recorded tornado paths in the USA, and you'll notice that eastern Kansas has had far more recorded tornados than western Kansas, but everyone thinks western Kansas has more because that's where the storm chasers like to chase. The high plains is great for chasing because there's fewer trees, that's all there is to it. It's also very dry, so storms have a harder time organizing in that way. Tornados form wherever the favorable conditions come together, be that wherever it may be.
Someone killed the WHALES Father and the Whale crawled up on the land and got his vengeance with his flippers around the guys throat . Unfortunately he didn't make it back to land as the man had dogs.
Thanks for reminding me that I want a pet Beluga, it’s not too late to ask Santa! 🎅 (I know it’s best they stay in the wild, but they are very sociable and cute!)
Everyone sing along! … “Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, Swim so wild and you swim so free, Heaven above and the sea below, And a little white whale on the go.
Well, it had to be this, or the poor thing being swept up in a tsunami and dumped where it got buried. It's so easy to forget that two thousand years, rather than being a very long time, is merely a blip when it comes to geology. And also that, for all its apparent rigidity, the crust of our planet is surprisingly flexible!
@GeologyHub I think made a joking reference there with the "money raining" santa image and mention of "an eccentric personality dumping a pet they somehow had in their possession"
Aah! I am the pronunciation police - and I must issue a ticket. Saguenay is not pronounced Sah-goony! It is pronounced Sah-gen-Ayy, with a bit of emphasis on the Ayy. I once lived up in that neck of the woods, it wounds the pride to hear it pronounced like a gooney bird.
Whales keep popping up in the weirdest places; it's like the surface of the planet keeps changing over the eons, lol. 😉 Seriously, though, i find these fascinating.
@@avgejoeschmoe2027 I'm not a fundie christian, and I wasn't talking about just the last ice age; also thinking of those fossil long-extinct whales in South America and Northern Africa, so eons
I support you making a brief cameo in the beginning of your video! It is nice to see you. Thank you for the great informational videos.
I totally agree on all counts. Even a brief appearance really adds a ton of personal touch to these earthy educational videos!

A museum in Pembroke, Ontario has some whale bones that were found locally, a long way up the Ottawa River valley.
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

It's funny where one's mind goes when one hears 11,000 years ago..
And Pygmy mammoths were still alive in the polar island regions of Russia.
@briangarrow448 yes, there's another good one.
The videos which are not just announcements that there's another volcano erupting in Alaska, or that there used to more volcanic activity in the US west, are far more interesting.
This and the video about the Kerguelan plateau were excellent.
More like these please!
But the important question is ... was there a broken pot of petunias nearby, as those are usually associated with sperm whales?
Oh no, not again.
@@kpaasial Hey! I understood that reference!
That one totally did a flyby for me, until I Googled it. I can't believe I forgot that reference! 🤷♀️🤦♀️🤣
Oh no!! NOT AGAIN!!
If we knew the answer to that question, we would certainly understand much more about the nature of the universe.
Fascinating story! I've been looking forward to this video since the interview with Shawn. Kudos!

The Whales’ Tails sculpture is, alas, not inspired by Charlotte the Beluga but the artist’s own experience with humpback whales. Search Jim Sardonis and you’ll see his granite and steel sculptures, generally smooth, climbable animals, throughout VT.
Thanks as always, Geology Hub!

Fun fact: belugas will follow salmon up the Yukon River sometimes hundreds of miles. Look for videos of belugas at Rampart.
A mystery with a rational explanation. No aliens involved.
wow insane how the ground can actually sink that much due to glaciers!
A layer of ice and rock a few kilometers thick is really really heavy.
Great work - really enjoy your videos! Thanks
It is honestly very interesting to see how the mass of ice caps can significantly effect the geography of where they are at.
Ok so I lived 1m down the road from this spot and it’s cool to see you tell this story “Side note it’s pronounced Char Lot not charlotte btw”
Wonderful presentation !

The same way whales got fossilized in the middle of the Egyptian desert
Always forget africa had ice sheets
@@PavelDatsyuk-ui4qvactually during the dinosaur era the entire Sahara was once part of the ocean.
@@PavelDatsyuk-ui4qv It wasn't ice sheets, it was higher sea levels which left whales trapped after they receded.
@@PavelDatsyuk-ui4qv It was higher sea levels, not ice sheets btw
And in Chile
It's just like Ozzyman, "Here's me face." Nice to see you after all these videos. Merry Xmas, and thank you.

There was one in the lake Champlain about 10 15 years ago and thanks for the video as a vermonter
Thank you for showing your face sometimes. It makes science and personal interaction meld together
Just great. Beluga whales using Google maps now.

There were also Dinosaurs that roamed throughout New England, but their remains were removed from repeated glaciations over millions of years.
Intriguing!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Absolutely fascinating thank you 😎

Yup. It’s glacial-isostacy. I learned about that beluga when in college back in the 90s
There are belugas today in the St. Lawrence estuary, near Tadoussac, Quebec (below Saguenay, which is pronounced SAG-en-nay).
Interesting, I lived there and never knew this.
