This video has been upgraded to HD and a number of new images have been added since the original video, which received over 7000 views, was produced several years ago.
Excellent video. Having watched many videos including Nick Zentner and Randell Carlson, I think I understand the flood, but visually this is awesome. RIP Tom Foster
This is humbling. All the creations and innovations of man are dwarfed by the shear scale of this. At ground level it is difficult to see but these views are outstanding. Well done.
This video is such an incredible overview and enriches the content of the playlist available on the Ice Age Floodscapes channel...most of which I have finished watching at least once before happening on to this video. Very helpful big picture view of the flood and its impact on the land. The labels and explanations are helpful and I particularly enjoyed the inclusion of footage that included the presence of people as they serve to make the haunting impact on the landscape come alive at the same time giving perspective to the vastness of the awe inspiring features. Deserves more views than the 19,000 plus it has received as I should think everyone living in Washington as well as geology students and professional geologist would view if they knew it existed. Lucky for me to stable onto this channel and this video. Thank you so much.
If you're not into hiking, there's a great view of channeled scabland features at the Sprague rest stop on I-90. I like to take a little walk-about there every time I travel between Seattle and Spokane.
Your videos are really well thought out presentations and highly enjoyable. The footage at the beginning puts everything in perspective allowing the viewer to conceptualize the origins of these floods. Thank you for sharing these with the public.
This is an amazing compilation of extra ordinary photographs that have been expertly labeled to assist the viewer's understanding of the evidence supporting the creation of the Channelled Scablands in Eastern Washington State, USA. The photographs are panned and zoomed in and out on providing an overview and close-ups of flood evidence. Music playing in the background helps the viewer focus on the information displayed in an unhurried manner. The viewer can stop the screen at any time to give them more time to study the information displayed in great clarity. For teaching, this methodology is suburb! Much better than a regular film or static photos.
Awesome video. Thanks for showing us what it looks like otherwise one has to fly a helicopter or something to have an awesome view. But really, you call this an ice-age flood? You mean the supposed glacial lake Missoula is only a quarter the size of channeled scabland, did all this?
Bruce: Beautiful video! Now I've got to go visit these places! Did you take some of these pictures with a drone, or were they all shot from the ground? You have some spectacular vistas. Thank you for this.
Aerial shots are from an airplane. More recently got drone. Newer drone images are on my website (BruceBjornstad.com) and on Ice Age Floodscapes RU-vid channel. Thanks for watching.
Bruce: What would be the best place to go for a couple days of shooting some drone shots of this amazing landscape? Somewhere where thee's a decent, inexpensive place to stay.
Grand Coulee would be a good place to start. Stay in Soap Lake at the mouth of the coulee. See my drone videos for more ideas: ru-vid.com/show-UCNS9qfD-DQWvRrjKsIIUzvwvideos
Thank you, Bruce.If there's anything up there of which you don't have video, I'd be happy to have a whack at it, and if it comes up to your standards, would be glad to donate it for your studies etc.
If this theory of ice age floods is true, and I have no doubt that it is, there should be a thick layer of sediment where this flood entered the ocean. Has any drilling been done and has this sort of huge sediment layer been discovered. Any organic material in such sediments would really tie down the date of the floods.
William Hughes-Games William, yes there is a big fan of flood deposits that spreads out from the mouth of the Columbia River into the Pacific. In fact they have traced flood deposits from Glacial Lake Missoula as far south as northern California along the seabed.
I think they now postulate something like 80 or 90 separate floods over several thousand years - the only way they can get 'uniformitarianism' to explain the extraordinary level of erosion of the scablands. Randall Carson's work shows fairly conclusively that the scablands are the result of catastrophic melting of the ice sheet (possibly due to an impact (or impacts) or a massive solar event such as a mini-nova) and were formed over a period of several weeks.
Lots of solid direct evidence for multiple Ice Age floods. Carlson's work is all speculation with no physical proof linking a flood with extraterrestrial event.
@@jgalloway2407 Randy tries, but he can't even pronounce Ephrata correctly. He's a big dude too, I can't imagine him hiking these rock trails & cliffs like Bruce and Tom could do. Thanks.
