Tears are flowing and my heart is racing..really don't know why. Suffice it to say just very emotionally impactful to me. Thank you for your production..particularly enjoyed the close up of the basalt columns.
Facinating, particularly to an Australian. When driving the road south of Cooma NSW I’m always intrigued by the exposed “cushion lava” on the small area of treeless plains.
Very nice presentation, and I believe the theme music sets a relaxing mood for viewing and learning. Bruce, I have developed a simple mathematical model that predicts the forces/stresses to create various n sided columns. As I recall, its x-y axis graphic form shows the lowest energy is needed for a 6 sided fracture and, of course more energy for the 4,5, and 7 sided columns. As was no doubt already suspected, it is energy conservation that drives the number of sides. If you would like more information on it, just let me know. Your excellent graphic analysis at 8:58, reminded me of the equation. Thank you.
Your channel is fantastic, been a subscriber for a little while now. I happen to live right smack in the middle of this region, and have been fascinated with it for at least a decade. Even more specifically, I live along a portion of crab creek. Since I've moved here, I've wondered how the flood waters managed to make it up into this area and carve out the canyons I drive through on a daily basis. If I 'm understanding your video correctly, where I live was at the bottom of the Colombia River when the ice dam build up reached a point that the river diverted, in the same the grand coulee diversion occurs, the crab creek outlet is just much further up river. Is this correct? Love the work!
@@bjornstad51 Not too far down the road from the Billy Clap lake dam. Previously my thoughts were the flood waters had entered the region by way of this access point headed south And then split east to west along crab creek/wilson creek, washing up into the lower regions to the east and carving out those canyons. But it sounds like I actually had that wrong. It sounds like crab creek was actually connected to the Colombia river while the glacier was present, and as the basin east of the glacier built up it spilt off into crab creek.
There is plenty of soil there. This is eastern Washington state, most of which is desert. Not much rainfall, hence the lack of green vegetation. It's not ALL "the evergreen state"!
@@lindakautzman7388 I think it was the right combination for this video. Anyone wanting to take in the majesty of this place, the music is going to send sight and sound straight into the deepest recesses of your soul and spirit. The words went slowly so anyone wanting to focus on facts and history can, but this music + what you see is is a cathartic experience.
Beautiful petrified tree stump at 4:30, and as usual, it comes with the usual textbook explanation of "hexagonal basalt columns". Read about Assyrian in Ezekiel 31. Notice the perfectly flat tops on the petrified tree stumps? Book of Enoch Chapter 66 says the fallen angels labored at the trees, which seems to indicate they were cut down somehow, and that is why they tops are perfectly flat. There were giants on the earth in those days... yes there were giant floods too, but I'll never believe that basalt can form into such perfectly hexagonal columns.
Remarkable formations! That drone is a game-changing tool for communicating the grandeur of these landscapes. Bravo!
When you say "flood torn", you are a master of understatement.
Thank you.
The new music better conveys the awe and majesty of the area and drone footage.
Sounds like criminal minds from Larry Gowan
I love playing these during my day..... ❤️
With our vineyard on the end of Frenchman Hill, I get to see and travel the Drumheller every day. Thanks for the Beautiful reminder of how lucky I am.
This is wonderful, Bruce. I like the music. Thanks for adding the note about rock climbing being prohibited.
Absolutely Breathtaking.. The shear scale of the Scablands is almost beyond comprehension. So Humbling it is.
Love it! Thanks for the updated version.
Hey Nick.
I like the music. It releases the imagination to roam just about like the drone.
Beautiful. We are visiting here this fall.
Tears are flowing and my heart is racing..really don't know why. Suffice it to say just very emotionally impactful to me. Thank you for your production..particularly enjoyed the close up of the basalt columns.
A wonderful presentation of a stunning landscape, thank you for it.
Excellent. Your content is unparalleled and superb. Thank you for your continued efforts. I continuously look forward to your next endeavor.
What a great video. Thanks Bruce. I will be visiting here next month and was able to use this video and google maps to figure out where to hike.
Facinating, particularly to an Australian. When driving the road south of Cooma NSW I’m always intrigued by the exposed “cushion lava” on the small area of treeless plains.
Thanks for posting this beautiful video. What a great view of those columns and the entire landscape.
This area is just breathtaking! Thanks for sharing it!
Love the video and the music is great! Wonderful job!!!
These videos are magical
Amazing drone footage.
GREAT, ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO LEARN ABOUT THE EARTH
Love this and all your works , would request that the location be in the notes thx. W.W.
Also, this is beautiful! Thanks, Bruce.
Thanks for witching!
Excellent.
beautiful
Awesome video. Love the drone clips!
Thank you!
Imagine how it would have looked 100 years ago, before invasive cheatgrass dominated the landscape.
I can only imagine how this place would have looked like during end of the Ice age
incredible region.
thanks i hadn't seen this or even heard of it
Nicely done!
Fantastic! Now you just need Nick Zentner to do a voice over for you and you've got solid platinum!!!
Randall Carlson would be a better voice over. He’s got a better understanding of the facts.
Didn’t Nick drop his rock hammer down one of those voids someplace?
@@gregoryvschmidt Yes, and it was retrieved recently.
Great Video Thanks!
Well done!
Any videos like this on the formation of the Arches National Park area?

Oh much better music, thankyou
By far the BEST channel on youtube.
Thanks Paul.

watching this makes you think
Superb
It's kind of surprising how slow recovery has been. I guess when the soil is completely removed there isn't any way for vegetation to return.
There is plenty of soil there. This is eastern Washington state, most of which is desert. Not much rainfall, hence the lack of green vegetation. It's not ALL "the evergreen state"!
❤❤❤❤❤
I tend to prefer voice over to explain what I'm seeing. Usually, if it's music, I mute and just watch/read the explanations.
Interesting. I prefer the written narrative.

Its actually a natural fort..one way out...retreat to the second level...drop cheap rocks on outsiders heads....
True - never thought about it that way.
Thanks. I didn't want to say anything as music is an individual taste but it honestly was rather distracting... 👍
The music is too magical. These were cataclysmic events, not magical
Why the horrible music instead of educating us a bit. Best of luck, but this is a rather awful format.
You are in the minority. Most people like the music, including me.
you have a volume button. use it - or make your own video
