Fog-draped Cactus Forests, Sketchy Mountains & Other Delights
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2019
- A 3,000' ascent up a steep ridge composed of beautiful metamorphosed intrusives brings us to a plant community that spends more than half its daylight hours bathed in fog, a result of the cold ocean currents arriving on the Chilean Coast from the South. We see a lineup of species - many of them endemics that actually evolved on this mountain over hundreds of thousands, if not millions of years - perfectly suited to this nearly-rainless but mild desert landscape. We see columnar "Tree" cacti draped in lichen, succulent members of the nightshade family, pink lilies growing out of boulders, and cacti so small they're easy to step over without seeing. All more understudied, evolutionary masterpieces - works of art in a burning library whose fire our species mindlessly ignited.

And from the top we get a spectacular view of an island completely covered in bird shit.

For most of my life I have wanted to see these species. Thank you so much for making this old botanist extremely happy.
So true....
I am 60+ years of age, and I so want to be like you. - When, and if, I grow up. You give the gift of Knowledge with every episode. A sincere Merry Christmas to you, and I convey that to you in the least materialistic way possible. From the heart of a fellow human who cares for this planet.
I like your message Larry... positive and right for this channel.
I dig your vibe, Larry.
great channel
@@sadoctopus9325 Larry Clark, for president of the world!
His accent is beautiful. Really giving Attenborough a run for his money.
Much as I love Sir David,,,, Joey gives the commentary an Extra "Something!" That inspires a lot more people!!
Including my husband,,,,
Mr Dingbatt,who I've been trying to get into Botanicals and Geology for Over 34years!!
Without any success, even watching David Attenborough with me!!
After He watches,,
~ "Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't "
ONCE!!
And it's becoming one of the Only Natural History Channels he's got on his TH-cam library.....
~Now he's quoting Latin Names at me!! Bracts, Ovaries, Trichomes..
Right down to Mycorrhizae and the relationships going on with Everything!!
I was asking myself should I be upset?!
Nah~It's Awesome!!
(They say Miracles are Dead?!)
Damnit!! Sorry,,,,
~I didn't mean to get all starry eyed,,,, and Go On at People!!
Sounds similar to those from Italian gangster American movies....
@@AndreaDingbatt That all sounds LOVELY, for both of you! Hope it's sustained and blossoms eternally 🤩
Feels like peter Griffin got smart as shit 😂
"Morning on Shit Island" If that's not an inviting intro, I don't know what is! Thanks again!
What a long strange trip its been :-)
🎵walk me out in the morning dew on shit island 🎶 walk me out in the bird doo-doo today 🎵
Gotta be a deadhead to recognize the joke 👋🙂✌️
We can all empathise with some daily personal version of Shit Island, but mostly without the sustaining (and burning) guano.
Its all about makin that N-P-K :-P
Do a reality show Survivor Shit Island
Thank you for not breaking your ass. Thank you for the virtual hiking adventure. Love the native botanicals.

That is NOT the laugh I expected to come outta that mouth, y'know?
That's the cackle of the old sage standing, in flowing robes, with bendy stick, amongst the swirling mists.
It's the laugh of someone botanizing after killing Batman.
Thanks for exploring my country. I found you because of the Chicago accent. A Chilean natural myself who lived in the Humboldt Park area and in Willmette for a couple of years. It's always refreshing getting to hear the accent I got my English from... If you ever come to Patagonia you'll be astonished of the flora down here. Youll get to see wild strawberries, fancy varieties of potatoes, Gaultheria mucronata, and the trees, man... wow! Fitzroya cupressoides, Araucaria araucana (monkey puzzles, typically pictured in dinosaur books and shit). If you EVER come here, you'll have a home where to stay, man!
Again, I'm really happy to hear you talk about these wonders... in the accent I learned my English from!
Hugs from Villarrica and keep up the good work!
For 27 years I lived in San Francisco near Ocean Beach and then up the hill from the botanical garden . It’s difficult for non-residents to really get what the climate is like, especially ‘summer’. Chilly, wind whipped dense fog, either at ground level or at about 800 feet all day, day after day. SF can experience a whole week in mid-summer with the temperatures never exceeding 50f something. Luckily I love cool, cloudy weather. I had to leave a few years ago due to how obscenely expensive it got. It used to be a great town with an eclectic mix of people. No more.
Seattle is quickly turning into this too, especially near downtown where I have to live for school. Just too fancy weed store and 2000 a month apartments. We just got a Whole Foods last year which is the beginning of the end I think.
kt - yep, Seattle used to be a funky backwater town and a lot of fun. I still have friends there but am less inspired to visit than in years past.
15:54 "Sketchy but doable" - How I'd love for Joey to describe the process of saving Earth.
Oh, I thought he was talking about how he likes his lovers. 😜
I love when he was looking at that Calandrinia sp. at 10:34 and said "It has a very nice texture" and his voice tone just suddenly changed to this soft jolly schoolboy, aaaah :D
All my life I have traveled all along Chile's coasts, but I've never get out of the car to see the plants closer. Now that I got interested in cactus, your videos are simply awesome and quite useful for me, thatk you buddy.
Same here, man. I used to not give a flying fuck about Northern Chile up until now that I watch this gentleman's videos. To me, Chile comprised all the way from Punta Arenas up to Santiago. The northern portion I didn't give a rat's ass about.
Greetings from Villarrica.
Merry Christmas, you glorious bastard!
who else reads the titles in his voice?
Indeed :-p 💪
I do weeeeeee love his videos
He's got me reading the comments in his voice too!
I had to identify over 53 'rocks' in geology as a final exam.. I always remembered: "gneiss has nice lines" lol! Seeing the sediments and minerals took me back to that, as well as the puns on the names so thanks.
Such a beautiful cactus to look at, too! Too bad the moths are are so relentless... :
How is it possible to get to minute 51 of a 52 minute video and feel as if your only half way! Great video as usual.
another Sunday morning well spent sipping coffee, armchair botanizing fuzzy buds. fantastic episode!
I had a great time on this hike. Thanks for bringing me along. I had a feeling that I would really like to explore the Atacama. I hope you also were able to get in some star gazing, and down the mountain in one piece!
I want this dude to voice a disney character like Philoctetes from Hercules, but like an ancient Roman potion maker or something, guiding the hero through the forest teaching him about alchemy ingredients
Dude this is an absolutely amazing idea lmao
Deep-State slayer.
I hope Disney allows the foul mouthery. I love this guy.
I hope you make it down to the valdivian rainforest on this triip! If you ever make it up to Southeast Alaska I'd love to hear your take on our local botany. I could show you around to some interesting trees and carnivores.
Holy Shit ! This is the TH-camChannel I waited all my life for !
seemingly barren mountains covered with adapted plant life. Evolutionary miracles everywhere.
I got a botany book for Christmas and it's all in your voice!!
I’m just hear to listen to you talk. Your knowledge is impressive!
Spicy broad!!!!!!
Wow. This landscape and the plants! The fog. It's all so beautiful.
What an obnoxious laugh. I love you.
I love how you say “Asteraceae”.
And to that I say Solanaceae.
Merry Christmas or whatever the shit.
I enjoy your educational content and more than that - I can feel that your enthusiasm for nature is as intense as my own! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and joy!
I had a real nice time. Like visiting another planet! Thanks.
love you and your shows!
I watched this last year, I remembered the cactus eating moths when we got to them.For some reason I did not hit “like” but I really enjoyed it all over again!
What camera do you use ? The macro is amazing.
You must make Botany teachers jobs great. Every friday if the class did well Id play a video of yours. or just play them everyday.
I don't even know what any of this stuff is but I can't get enough of these videos
He does botany, he does geology, and his Dennis Farina impression is so spotbon, you'd think he's the real people!
You truly are my new hero I can’t get enough of you or your videos you’re inspiring a whole new generation of people keep up the good work nobody does it like this you are truly one of a kind
🌴Joe , your the only one I can learn from🌴
I listen to everything you say and watch yr
episodes like it's law . And I don't even listen
to any cops , judges nor did I give one shight
what any teachers ever had to say ! The Man!
I listen to you talk while I work in my soul crushing office job. Gotta say- when you were talking about your friend I wasn’t looking and I thought you were talking about your dog. 😂
All gorgeous, you the place the plants
Thank you so much for the amazing video. I find myself saying "hey, wait, what's that over there?", but, for obvious reasons, you don't hear me... lol.
Did ya have a nice time? Did ya learn somethin? Yup and yup.
Those tiny cactus with big protea looking flowers
the best, really enjoyed,learned a lot, much love stay safe!!!
Fantastic! I enjoyed watching, thank you very much.
I love your fucking videos so so much. I don't think there's anyone else who can do what you do. Thank you for sharing your trips with us!
Those cacti tho! Ty for that present! And I love the little daisy bush.
Really enjoyed the ascent up the mountain, I was a little disturbed by the loss of so many cacti in that one area. Thank you again for your efforts.
I'm still fond of the guano, even if it is a bit old fashioned.
Dad took us to Carlsbad Caverns as kids (from ElPaso to beat the heat). Very impressive place. It was my first experience with the word and uses of guano.
@@brendafallos3796 I learned about guano and its uses in a cave in Branson missouri at silver dollar City when I was little. It's a small world.
Mike lewellen oh shit another person that’s been to the poor excuse of a town Branson
So many undersea volcanos...and tectonic plate motion. Rocks.
I've always wanted to see this habitat and its residents. So thanks for that! And BTW, I'd be happy to assist you in your efforts to adjust the consciousness of cactus poachers. We have the same problem here in the Big Bend and it's heartbreaking to see so many beautiful cacti disappearing.
Alien landscape. Lichens on cactus - that's a new one for me. Nice.
Love seeing plant life in such harsh terrain. Thx for the great content
Awesome succulents. I never! I'm behooved.
Don't poach nature's babies
@@priceandpride the only poaching I do is off of the floor at my local Menards. They don't take care of their plants so I will! BTW I do ask permission and they don't care! #proplifting
Wow a pleasant ending. I’m glad the fog cleared for you I was worried about you getting back down. Those translucent read pods were really cool and the cacti are so cute
always impressive to see the flowers that bloom on cactuses!
"upload a pic of that little mother trucker and send it to some entomologists" - I friggin love you man - keep up the good posts and let me know when you roll through Los Angeles/Santa Barbara again :)
That is a major dying event you have showcased and inadvertently brought to the light. Hope this makes some waves in the scientific community.
Very cool trip. Neat plants, racks, and the fog blowing over the mountains. Moths killing the particular cactus at lower elevation - interesting.
You sound like a italien boss when you speak and I LOVE it! 😁👍
an ORGY of beautiful intrusive igneous rocks, large grain sized igneous rocks!!!
Desert plants are so cool
What fun! Thanks for sharing this. When I am on a walk in a place, I like to take a really close look at the plants that I encounter. You did this for me with every little plant. It's as if I was there. Thanks again.
I love your style! Grassroots Botany with all the grit it entails. Just heard about you, but I'm subscribing now. And you're right. Horticulture doesn't pay either!
Roger Spurr we need this GUY! Hes gets it!
Thank you so much for your videos, you have no idea how much they save me ! 💗💗
Botany as explained by Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon, perfect!
There's something eerie in the scenery at the start of the video. Looks almost like a different planet.
42:20 i thought that was some kind of large bird at first
Tony I love yer content Keep on rolling through.
Incredible work. Please keep it up.
Thanks. Happy Holidays.
Gotta love a massive succulent bush.
Love these vids, awesome. So engrossing and interesting. That succulant Solanaceae like a little pine tree!!! Then the 'little fuzzy bastard'. Wonderful desert adaptions.
The high-elevation cacti May be getting their moisture from the mists, but there must be some interesting stuff going on in the ground to be breaking nutrition out of that inhospitable substrate - lots of minerals breaking down, suggesting specialised bacteria and fungi .
Good stuff as usual. Thanks for the content!
You're $aving me by going & showing. I don't have to get there to take this in. Seeing this place fills a void in my perspective. Great details and landscape. THTHAAAGNXXXKSSS GFY !!!
Love the videos, such amazing commentary and highly educational thanks :D
Oof that shot when you turned around at 0:26 was breathtaking
Great video, bud. Actually loved the geology flex . My personal favorite.
Thanks for this trip to cloud deserts.
Geology puns they’re gonna be the death of basalt
I have some indigo gabbro, yes I love it! That Caladrinia is nice. That Adesmia is one freaky looking plant!
Beautiful
I had a great time sure
Thank you for all your fantastic videos! They brightens my day! I hope you get a super Christmas!
I had a nice time and learned a lot, thanks!
I love me a certain Malpighid vine brewed together with the leaves of a member of the Rubiaceae ;)
What a gorgeous view!
Cool video my guy
Awesome awesome awesome
I don't know if you've been to the cactus Forests in Baja but it is truly
Otherworldly. Cardon cactus 60 ft high twice the size of any saguaro I've ever seen
Salud from Poland, Love your vids
Thx for the share places never trodden upon
"when i touch it with my greasy dago fingers..." This guy is in a class of his own.
I like gabbro too, there's some nice gabbro in central San Diego County.
I got an altitude high watching the unique and beautiful flora of this area. Too bad about the copiapoa demise.
I have to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am truly in awe at the vast amount of knowledge you possess. I have been studying and growing plants Especially cactus, since I wax 8 yrs old. I wish i could go with you on these excursions. As i would be like a kid in a candy store. I enjoy your videos very much. As i applaud you and your knowledge. Thanks for making this corvid deal far more tolerable.
Corvid deal? As in crows?
@@claudiachadwick1995 no, as in having something for me to watch and learn from on tv, while we were basically confined. I don't even understand why you wrote what you did?
@@samuel72677 must've been a typo when you wrote corvid. A corvid is a crow or other in that genus.
@@claudiachadwick1995 what does corvid have to do with crows? I was simply thanking him for making these videos that I could watch during the corvid shut down. And why would you even ask?
@@samuel72677 COVID is not the same word as corvid. It's that simple. Stop being so obtuse. A corvid is a bird. Look it up in the dictionary.
oh yeah, get my cactus fix for the day........thank you.
Awesome! Need more like you to videos like these.
Holy shit! What a beautiful planet we live on.
When the mountain slows you down it's hiding from you it's spirit. Keep on and meet the mountain.
Thanks
