Observation Hill in Antarctica is an iconic volcanic cone near Scott Base/McMurdo Station. It's a great walk for spectacular views and geological features to look out for.

Great description of the landscape and of glacial scouring and of lava bombs. Nice one. The view from the top of Erebus would be pretty cool.

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thanks! Yes it certainly would!

I really like this kind of "looking around" video. If I'd been there, I'd have been looking around and asking "What's that? What's that?" Since you answered those questions, this felt like a personal tour of that part of Antarctica. Very nice work, and thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your appreciation

Woah, what a trip!

@rabidbigdog Год назад

Glorious. And no puffing! :)

Always enjoy these videos from the team. Nice to see a familiar face again Julian. I've only just recently watched all the earlier content about New Zealand geology. Enjoying the content from Antarctica too 👍

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos!

@sanchop8963 Год назад

Really like your videos. Yourself and Nick Zentner are my go to geologists on RU-vid!

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thank you, I'm pleased

Great video! I'd *love* to get to Antarctica - one reason being that it would be a good place to look for meteorites! You've got some chance of finding them against the white background of snow and ice.

@OutThereLearning Год назад

True, if you go to the right places where the ice sheet is ablating and they are gathered on the surface.

👍thanks for the great observations from observation hill..you just brought back memories from my Scott Base summer decades ago… another observation,about where you were standing at the start of the video was where MacMurdo used to have a nuclear power plant

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thanks for your comment. Yes, the nuclear plant is another story that I didn't mention

One of your best.

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thanks!

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Thanks!

Beard looking good mate

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Haha, thanks. It's the Antarctic dress code I guess

@musicman53 Год назад

Awesome tour and video, Did you use StarLink to upload it?

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Interesting question! Actually I uploaded it after getting back to NZ

@downunderdan Год назад

Not sure about 'not taking anything away' - where do the drilling samples go? Not a criticism, it's important to learn and I have tonight

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Scientists do take away biological and geological samples when needed for research purposes. In order to do that a permit is required. Thanks for your question

@camouflage962 7 месяцев назад

what is that cross doing at the summit?

@OutThereLearning 7 месяцев назад

It was built in January 1913 by Scott's expedition members in memory of Scott's South Pole party which perished on the return journey from the Pole in March 1912. Observation Hill was the lookout point they had used whilst waiting for his return across the ice shelf that never happened.

@sonnykristiansen5561 Год назад

Mount Erebus is not a shield volcano, it's a stratovolcano.

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Funnily enough it's actually both. The bottom half is a shield, the top part a stratovolcano. Thanks for your comment

@Michael20089 Год назад

@@OutThereLearning that is very cool, I didn't know that

@Tecq24 Год назад

This is wizard!!

@Tecq24 Год назад

Watching all of that gave some real nice perspective. I wish for one day to experience Antarctica for myself. Possibly the closest thing to feel like you're on another planet for how it is desolate but full of history. I really enjoying seeing this.

@OutThereLearning Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it!
