- Story of Glacial Lake Missoula by www.HUGEfloods.com with photos of many amazing features created when 600 cubic miles of water filled western Montana valleys - Approx. 15,000 years ago. View more photos and videos of the Lake Missoula and Ice Age Floods features at www.HUGEfloods.com.

Utterly fascinating. All new to me in the last few weeks. I'm 74.
I grew up in Sandpoint, Idaho and the woods around it. It fascinates me that my childhood home was involved in ice age history. It was at the edge of the ice sheets that creeped out of Canada. The ice stopped moving just after it reached Lake Pend Orielle. It was flooded by the great Missoula flood, the largest flood in history.
Two years ago I was standing on a hill overlooking the Columbia river at Vantage Washington. My niece and her boyfriend (age 43) were with me. I pointed out some large erratic boulders and parts of the channeled scab lands. I gave them a quick history of glacial lake Missoula. My nieces boyfriend turned to me and said "that didn't happen, it was never mentioned in the bible". All I could do was roll my eyes and shake my head. Too bad she married him last year.
I believe in the innerancy of Scripture, but I wouldn't venture to say how this might or not fit into God's Creation plan.
warren wilson god is a myth designed to control ignorant people.
Nice video. The true 'Great Flood'.
Incredible geological info, wish I knew this 50 years ago, 😢
From what I read, Pardee actually postulated Lake Missoula and its features by the early 1920s, before Bretz ublished his channeled scablands papers.
Excellent!! Thanks
This is beautiful, and I thank you.
I live in Missoula and i see them all the time. i even read a book a few years ago on glacial lake Missoula. cool to think it was all under water.
this is awesome good job !
Really enjoying these videos. Wish you would post more, please.
Awesome video
wow sir...😮
If you look at the area between cedarville and gerlach in Nevada on Google Earth, you can see shorelines far above the dry lakes there. They are very pronounced when driving, although you can tell there's no land mass that could have held the water that high.
By my calculations Lake Missoula would have been a little shy of 5 times the volume of Lake Powell, when It was at full pool level back in the early 1980's. 9 trillion gallons of water Lake Powell holds at full pool level. I also calculated that Lake Missoula would have drained in 2 1/2 to 3 days time, or a Lake Powell volume every 12 hours. Would someone else run the numbers to verify this? Kind of a fun math problem. Thank you.
Another slideshow? -_-
So, the lake was 600cubic miles in volume (0:20) and drained through the channel at Eddy (14:08) & (14:20) at a rate of 8 to 10 cubic miles per hour (0:40). The ice lobe dam came back several times and the process repeated.
(9:27) Laminated, as in layers of differing composition... (10:00) varves as in laminae consisting of a cyclic summer (silt) & a winter (clay) layer... & rhythmites as in the unit... meaning each varve or the whole of the deposit? I take it summer comes heats up the glacier, silt runs off with the melt. Winter comes & puts a halt to that. Layers of darker clay dominate what is being deposited.... so wouldn't there be river clay mixed in the lighter layer, why the shift to clay?
(16:05) would that be Red Siltite? Is that siltstone, hardened silt from older glacier deposits than the glaciers at the time of Missoula Lake? And those had their own events in earlier times as well?
I have seen cows walking such shorelines (in Idaho I think), and just thought them very steep cowpaths only fit for mountain goats. Makes more sense to me why the cows would be there if they are just following lines already there. I wonder when those shorelines were carved relative to each other and how long each existed. I would think some would get obliterated by others if the level rose/fell/rose higher/etc. Does this show the Maximum and a consistent lowering of the shoreline from that point on?
Look those ripples. Holly sh.
It was fascinating to see for myself the parallel lines on the hillside above Missoula and on the hills at the southern end of Mission Valley, each one marking the level of the lake as it refilled after the ice dam had breached and then re-formed.
In 2015, I stood at highest known lake level above St Ignatius in the Mission Valley and looked across to the Mission Mountains, trying to imagine the valley an enormous lake.
There is an excellent book: "Glacial Lake Missoula" by David Alt, that examines the timeline of the floods and traces the paths they carved down to the Columbia River.
Not that is difficult to miss the paths - the only flood channels larger are found on Mars.
someone really needs to make an animation of this flood/tsunami
Dropstones are technically referred as glacial erratics.
What are the odds that there's gold deposits in those accumulated estimates?
I just don't see this lake as a viable option. If you look at google earth. the area above dry falls going through to Riverside looks much more likely.
THE GREAT ICE AGE MISSOULA FLOOD IS THE MOST GIGANTIC THERE IS A BOOK WRITTEN BY A FELLOW THAT HAS A GOOD KNOWKEDGE OF THE AREA I HAVE READ HIS WORK IF ONE WOULD BE INTERESTED ONE SHOULD GET THIS FELLOW'S BOOK IT IS RATHER COMPREHENSIVE. I HAVE READ IT I GOT A LOT FROM IT .I WOULD GIVE HIS NAME IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER IT. A GREAT WORK.
Harold Smith Whoa.. Please lay off the all caps sir. The caps lock key is far left on the keyboard, depress once and then you won't be SCREAMING.
Stop bitching. When some folks began using the web, writing in all caps wasn't thought off as screaming. It was simply easier to read (and maybe [?] to write) Grow a skin, and try being a bit more tolerant of others...
These formations are found only where glacial lakes existed and are only in a small regional area for each spot. These floods only made made it to the Soap Lake area and dropped all the bed load in the Ephrata Fan.Hardly global in nature. Creationists will say the Scablands are proof of a global flood,but also claim the Grand Canyon is as well,yet they could not be more geographically different if one tried. Why is this?
:)
Washington D.C. said "Hold my beer" and flooded the world with greenbacks.
These geologic formations are seen throughout the entire world. The evidence for a worldwide flood is abundant.
the only floods these are evidence for are Glacial Lake outbursts during the last ice age. Angthing else is just your imagination.
Narration please :(
I was not signing up to read a book.
