You explained all very well🙏🏻

[@nagachaitanya7943]

Not the snow but the base material of the mountain is responsible for the colorfuness, for those who wonder why Himalayas/ other mountains don't exhibit this phenomenon.

[@srishtikumari6664]

Thanks

[@am-xk8ff]

That's what Amit sir has explained

[@nagachaitanya7943]

@@am-xk8ff that how I learned just elaborated for few.

[@BracaPhoto]

He said why the minerals were rusted but never explained why there was such distinct band of mineral conglomeration... HELP ME UNDERSTAND INTERNET 🤣🤣👍👍💯💯

[@AkshayBhattadIndia]

I agree with you, he should have specifically focused on the base material of mountains being the "key" reason & mentioned less about snow. Anyways, any smart guy would have been able to decipher the actual reason by the end of video.

[@lost9050]

I'm brazilian and I study geology, one of my dreams is to travel to this mountain

[@lost9050]

@Newt Scamander I already had it, and I confess I'm more into sedimentology, but it's Impossible to see this mountain and not want to see it with my own eyes

Ami Peru te thaki. I hv been to Cusco and Machu Pichhu but the sheer altitude of the Rainbow mountain has rendered it almost impossible for me to visit. With altitude problems like headache (locally called Sorojche), short of breathness is pretty common. Wish I could visit this wonder

Thanks 🙏

[@gwho]

Amit, but you didn't explain why there are such stripes, instead of a red mountain and a green mountain and a yellow mountain.
Did layers of different minerals form over time horizontally, then the whole "cake" got turned sideways as the andes got pushed up by plate tectonics?

[@sharathr4113]

[@Joshua-1212]

in the video you showed what 1 and 2 were but you forgot to show what 3 and 4 minerals are?
