These flows throw the massive blocks of stone around so easily! The power of gravity on water is terrifying! Thank you so much for sharing these epic events. Mother Earth is so amazing.
Wow! Frightening and majestic!! Thanks for sharing, in Australia we don't see this sort of thing our mountains are truly ancient, awe inspiring but not so messy 😍 Rain in the far north of the country sends water to the dry inland rivers and lakes, dry riverbeds have killed many happy campers over the years. Know your country. Really enjoyed your educational and awesome work! Cheers from Tasmania 👍🥂😍
I started watching these videos a few days ago and I always find that one boulder that I watch and I'm rooting for it to hold its position for as long as possible, but then comes another wave of rocks and off it goes. It's amazing how fast 10 - 15 minutes can go by while watching these videos.
Belle réalisation, on se rend compte de l’énorme puissance du phénomène; on apprécie les renseignements in situ; on imagine le bruit assourdissant sur place! Bravo pour nous faire partager cele sans les « oh m’y god » traditionnels
Every time! The visual appeal of the power of water leaves me awestruck and in a trancelike mood every time. 😳😁When Mother Nature speaks its best to be respectable and get out of harms way! Thanks so much for sharing these debris flows with us all! 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
When I was a young lad we used to hike every week in dried up river beds with huge boulders like these in the video. Every year the path will be different because everything moves, even huge boulders. I never witnessed any flash floods or mud slides, only the aftermath, and always wondered how can water move a bus-sized huge rock like this - now I know. Thanks.
Always respect the power of flowing water ... Worked as a hydrometric surveys technologist for 37 1/2 years with the Water Survey of Canada (an agency of Environment Canada) measuring water level and flow (discharge) in Ontario, Canada. There is no way I would be metering in this stream !!!
OMG - I just LOVE your videos, especially since you've been personalizing some of the boulders. Just awesome power of the flow, no matter which kind. Thank you from Canada.
It is a miracle. Really hard to imagine that there is anything alive in the water after such a debris flow and how quick nature restores herself....thanks a lot, great video and keep safe while filming!
@@deangregoric4735 If you go by their calculations at 6:51 it would be between 3 and 4 tons depending on the type of rock. I think they added a 0 by mistake.
@@katanyajason3316 their hole metrics are heavily flawed 1.8m tall? Thats a bit over an average human adult that rock is probably around 30-40cm tall max I seen people standing in front of that type of check dam and they are as tall as that 45% angle V formation.
If their measurements would be acurate the stone would have a volumen of nearly 16m³ (2,5x3,5x1,8) 1m³ of water = 1000L = 1000kg = 1t now stone is denser than water ,by 2-3 times, so it could be 30 metric tons. BUT i do agree that their measurements seem way off.
Great video! There are volcanic basalt boulders a story tall on the Oregon coast that get moved by the king tides every year. Basalt is some of the densest rock, even a small one the size of your head is extremely difficult to lift. A single large wave can move one the size of a UPS delivery truck. You can feel the force of normal-sized waves sending tremors through the rock if you're standing on it. People don't realize how much energy is in water.
Thanks for the great video. I think it's great that you showed the size and weight of the rocks. In such videos it is always difficult to get a size comparison, especially with nature shots. I still remember that I always thought that an ocean sunfish was about 20-30 cm in diameter, until a diver swam next to one in a documentary. 1.8 - 3.3 m in diameter and up to 2.5 t in weight. That was an eye opener.
Absolument dingue les différentes densités de boue et les effets associés, comme on peut voir que les coulées lentes sont plus puissantes. La taille des pavasses que ça emmène est impressionnante, celle montrée au début étant même moins lourde que beaucoup d'autres. Merci OP !
Watching this again. It is a geologists heaven. So much to think about. Those boulders must be igneous or metamorphic (granite or gneiss I'm guessing?), so pretty old, but they are coming from that canyon up the valley and are being held in the really loose formation rock (or are there granite/gneiss intrusions, or underlying layers?). So that upper landscape must be super young? Then you have this incredibly dynamic erosion mechanism, that I was taught about but never really believed. When you get the high density mud those boulders just float along so easily. Then when the flows stop you get this kind of clastic (??) layer (I've forgotten the proper term). When that dries it must be pretty hard. And I saw one of the other videos where this feeds into the main river and the sedimentary banks were really high, so that main river must get pretty constricted during high deposition periods. This is now on my bucket list to see!
Seeing all those videos of Illgraben I wonder how the f* is there still a mountain up there with so much material going down regularly. And how they ever managed to build those massive walls there, guessing how long it would take to construct the iron cage and then filling up with concrete.
I assume that the catchbasins get all the rocks cleared out during the winter, to be able to accommodate the rocks that will be washed into them by thunderstorms in the spring or summer.
Look for 'Illhorn Switzerland' in Google Earth/Maps(satellite view). The massive landslide scarp is to it's north, (basically an entire mountain is slowly eroding away) and the channel that's been made to keep the debris flows away from the town below.
Between storms, does the municipality send crews to remove the accumulated silt and moveable boulders? Otherwise it would seem that these debris channels would quickly fill and overflow their banks.
Higher in canyon along the stream is vorbidden, only for securities or WSL. I could go once to Steinschlaghutte. One stromy week. Takes one day to go there. Not sure to have good view because of the fog. Or put cameras over in Ponchet or somewhere around the Illgraben. Then fly because of danger of lightnings... WSL has a nice pic in Twitter higher in canyon of event of 06th of July 21. But it is not at the birth of a debris flow... I must study the possibilities...
I have wondered that myself. The only thing I can think of is that the resistance of the water flowing underneath the main flow is higher than on top, so the water on top overtakes the water underneath. I would love to have someone tell us for sure what causes that.
@@randyhuene9617 I think I read something or watched another debris flow video saying just this. Almost like the waves are skimming across the top of the already extant flow. That still seems like it implies a new "pulse" (I know nothing about this and don't know the terminology lol) of water coming from upstream. Maybe it' happens when one of the tributaries has its own smaller flash flood that feeds into the main flow. Or, maybe, since we know rain can vary in intensity and volume pretty abruptly, the waves come from short bursts of relatively intense rainfall?? Just hypotheses obvi
no music just the pure natural sound , like!

Wahnsinn diese Kraft, wo das nur entsteht wo das viele Wasser auf einmal konzentriert runter kommt, danke für die Aufnahmen
Un énorme plaisir, cela me replonge dans mes cœurs de géomorphologie en fac . Mes profs étaient passionnés et passionnant.
Mother nature at her best. Amazing video. Thank you from New Zealand
Absolument fascinant, on est captifs de ce spectacle. Bravo pour les images.
I was wondering where those stones / boulders ended up. Thanks for showing us in the last part of the video. Great job!
I find this sound very soothing, I close my eyes and just relax listening to it.
It is a miracle. Really hard to imagine that there is anything alive in the water after such a debris flow and how quick nature restores herself....thanks a lot, great video and keep safe while filming!
Almost as relaxing as staring into a campfire...
And thus are mountains worn down. Thank you very much for these videos.
Being able to hear all the sounds makes this oddly satisfying to watch, especially the part with mudflows occurring in pulses.
It is quite eerie to see 30 ton rocks pushed along like the winds pushes a paper cup down the road.
lol anyone that thinks that thing weights anywhere near 30T

Great video with natural sound without silly added music. Professional use of the camera makes the video pleasant to watch.
Amazing how much force is exerted by flowing water!
@@dr0117 Yep its mostly soil.
If you’ve ever seen wet concrete this is pretty much the same concentration and weight.
It's astounding to see those rocks moving. The size descriptions were appreciated.
Good video of the cake batter manufacturing process, including how they work the chunks out of the batter.
Thank you, this is one of the best of your captures
Génial merci pour ces vidéos 👍
Fascinating! Each time I watch this. Nature can be a beast
Impresionante gracias por mostrar el poder de la naturaleza te felicito por este impresionante trabajo felicidades un saludo desde España
When I was a boy my father always told me that torrents can push giant stones, but I was always skeptic. Now I realize he was right…
Love these any footage of further down the line.
That was so satisfyingly cool
Loved it

Mighty powerful creek flow you found.
Theses videos are absolutely mesmerizing!
Merci vielmals für die informative und eindrucksvolle Aufzeichnung!
Thanks for the upload! That was amazing!!
Wow, Hello my friend.. All the best to your channel and hope you have a wonderful day !
Awesome video thank u and thank u for no music just nature. Hope you all fared well 🙏🤞
Where does it go?

Such amazing power. Imagine how dangerous that rock soup is.
Great video ! Well done !!!
Love your videos ❤❤🎉😊
How is there any mountain left?
Wow that is an awesome spectacle just comes in wave after wave
Very good video, TY!
Fantastic footage. Vast amounts of material.
Super travail , avec texte sympas , je me demandais si le canal était curé par des engins , j'ai eu l'explication.
Amazing documentation. Highly valued. No Fish survives....no, a few always do.
Fish? ^^ Lol, how can anything living survive in that stony clay torrent?
Very humbling scenario, Especially if you are threatened, by being in its path!!
Gracias felicitaciones y siempre adelante

Where does this start and how does it always go into this channel?

Ryukai thanks!
It’s interesting watching this matchup between water and rock, but it’s also weirdly comforting knowing that the water will eventually win each time
What a force of nature! Unstoppable!
This is amazing. Also thanks to the creator for German/English translations 👍🏼
Where is this. I only saw one log. that seems remarkably ...well, clean!! And to have these cement walls...whats below?
Spectacular! The Superconcentrate flows are swift, intense and very powerful!
Simply amazing!
I had to rewind to catch it but congratulations on your little boy 💙
Where does it all go. That’s a lot of rock
One of the coolest things I've ever seen. Why does it PULSATE during low-flow towards the beginning of the documentary?
Between storms, does the municipality send crews to remove the accumulated silt and moveable boulders? Otherwise it would seem that these debris channels would quickly fill and overflow their banks.
Wonderful and powerful nature.
moooooooooore please. this was awesome
Bonjour
Merciiiiiiiii pour la traduction en Français
🙏🙏🙏
Would it be possible to have 'before' and 'after' still shots to compare how much that channel changes after each event?
Hi I’m really interested In your videos and fascinating as nature
👍🏻 Is there film from higher up, showing how it starts?

Thank you for your great videos!
Incroyable la force que ca a pour déplacer 50T!!!
it would be interesting to see where all this muck ends up?
he did a video on that too,

Was very interesting to watch
Saludos desde México 🇲🇽👏👏😘
Vraiment impressionnant !!!!!!!
Wow. Thats hypnotizing
6:56 yea,that's a huge Boulder thats just literally tossed down the mountain like a pebble.
Mother nature is unbelievable! Her power is unmatched.
Mother nature created such wonders.. thank you God.
Will the stones be removed if not it could be worse next time if they are not removed .
Réséchtuc... :hmm: Does that mean the mud flow moves the boulder as if it was a piece of cloth? Great video!
Comme un morceau de fromage....Käsestück en allemand, écrit en phonétique..😊
What makes it come down in waves instead of a constant flow?
Phénoménal ! un volcan froid !!
Question : who is in charge of refilling the mountain with rocks?
Lol
Why does it keep coming in waves like that? so cool.

Sou Ione moro em SC balneário Camboriú o que significa esse monte de lamas com pedras meu Deus parece que vai acabar tudo que medo nossa😭
Would love to see the after mass of the flow, to me it looks like the never-ending pit, but like it.
