- Pierre Zufferey spent two years trying to capture the mud flow in Illgraben. In this clip, his patience finally pays off. The violent mud flow is the result of the mud that makes up the Illhorn mountain. It breaks apart, causing the debris to flow.

It's not liquidification, the water velocity with the amount of flow creates a cement density fluid that can carry huge multi ton boulders along with it. The density of the fluid "lightens" the boulders, each rock and boulder can then loosen other rocks and boulders, creating an even more dense fluid and the added weight of said fluid. This accumulation of flow density, velocity, and mass, can have serious power. I've experienced this in Arizona and the Coachella valley in California. I've witnessed 30 - 40 foot gouges into the earth with some amazing sized boulders strewn along the way.
Liquidification requires the soil to be very porous, this is desert hard pan or caliche soil. Very hard, almost concrete like, soil. It is almost impervious to water and also provides a harder surface for the flow to gain acceleration.
I love that you provided a video of this phenomenon, many people throughout the world never see. This may save some lives 👍
The force it takes to move all those boulders must be freaking immense. Wow.
Its gravity... Its immense
@@abhisheksinghbhadoriya1926 Gravity is one of the weakest fundamental forces in the universe. The boulders looked like they were almost floating. If I had to take a guess, the mud is almost as dense as those boulders. So similar to lava, it's basically liquid rock flowing down the mountain.
its amazing!
Try ice, from the nearby Glaciers
@@odo432 you won't see the strong nuclear force pushing boulders around like that. gravity is only weak in theory and does not account for the subjectivity of language.
According to Wikipedia (in German)
"The usually small inconspicuous Illbach quickly swells during intense precipitation caused by showers, thunderstorms or by the combination of meltwater and rain and carries a lot of debris due to the continuous intensive weathering of the rock material. These debris flows occur several times a year and carry the material into the Rhone. During precipitation, this leads to the clouding of the Rhone until it flows into Lake Geneva.
The stream has thus cut 1,500 meters into the rock and with the material has piled up a mighty debris cone in the valley of the Rhone. The river was thus pushed along a length of 5 kilometers to the opposite mountain foot. The debris cone is heaped up to 200 meters high above the valley floor. The eastern part of the debris cone is farmed with meadows and fields, while the western part supports the upper part of the Pfyn forest. The lower part, on the other hand, continues to be characterized by the regular debris flows, some of whose material is washed here by the Rhone all the way to Sierre.
Due to the strong erosion, there is no permanent vegetation in the Illgraben."
Here some more info

Although only in French and German
The Gorge is between 2 mountains, each a different kind of rock, but both very prone to erosion. The material that comes loose from those mountains amplifies the effects of the mudslides. As in the Wikipedia piece, the amount of material that has come down is huge.
Humanity - with enough sweat and toil, we can move mountains.
Mother nature - I move mountains when I pee.
Lol haha loved it.
Dang, those are some massive boulders being tossed like nothing 😳
Looks like they’re floating
Imagine how much faster that would be flowing if it wasn’t spending so much energy flipping those boulders in the front.
it is mud from a mountainvalley. it flows anyway more or less slow but deathly

That was INCREDIBLE 😲
wow, seeing those boulders just getting pushed like nothing...... scary
Even more amazing when you realize that there is very little water in that flow. It's even drier than concrete.
That sounded like a moving earthquake coupled with thunder. Great footage.
At first I was like "That doesnt look that bad.." then the boulders came, and the whole thing looked way bigger... and I'm like "well shit.."
WERE IN THE LAST DAYS! JESUS IS COMING GUYS TURN TO HIM AND U CAN BE SAVED! HE'S THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE THE ONLYWAY TO GOD!:)
@holidays are pagan ... Wow, how interesting. I did not know that!
@@psalm3496 Ok I will do that
That looked ....ALIVE!....
The bigger one are likly over 200 tonnes each!
That's amazing to see. Those are some really big boulders in there wow
Wow, a CZcams video that actually delivers what is promised!
I can only imagine what that really felt like being there recording this
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
Me : "what should I watch on CZcams"
CZcams : 'Here's something from 4.5 years ago"
are you from 2021?
This meme is on every video and makes no sense to me.. why WOULND'T CZcams show you something from 'x' weeks/months/years ago?
@@OppoOppo-zp6ok Ruined how? It's literally the worlds most successful video sharing platform..
I agree there are too many brain dead comments if that's what you mean
@@OppoOppo-zp6ok But the ads are also what gave so much financial incentive to content creators to use the platform, being that 50% of ad revenue goes to the content creator, and channel owners are tbe ones who decide if they put ads and how many, Google isn't to blame necessarily.. and you as a consumer can easily install an ad blocker (maybe not on your cellphone though)
Overall CZcams is a massive benefit to modern civilization imho.. I could do without the Google data collection though but that's just me
And that children is how rivers are carved into valleys
This shows how dangerous and unpredictable the Mountain Areas can be. Living in the Mountains is tough. It took a lot of Effort and Fatalities to build such a safe living Environment in Switzerland.
Water is incredibly powerful as evidenced by those huge boulders rolling downriver.
Water??
There more going on than that.
It's due to mud, water alone I that volume doesn't come even close to moving those boulders.
@@oneshortgamer2540 water actually moved the mud AND the boulders.
@@redactedbananas yes but you didn't understand what I was trying to say, without the mud water wouldn't have the power to move boulders.
@@oneshortgamer2540 I understood what you were trying to say. You didn't understand what I said.
Those rocks' weight gotta be tons! Wow! The energy and force this water has is incredible! Amazing!
Very impressive. Such power. Scary
I like that boulder, that's a nice boulder... 🐺
Just Mother Nature making little rocks out of big rocks.
Definitely a debris flow. Nice work!
Pure power of mother nature , look at those boulders move , they are going at a pretty good speed
I come back to this video everytime my alimentary canal needs some inspiration.
Amazing power of the water to move boulders that huge!
Water mixed with sand to make it much more heavy..
Damn, nature, you scary
Cant help but wonder if there's any gold in it ...
Just wondering...how often does a debris flow like this occur? I know it depends on how much rain falls over a certain period of time, but is this a monthly occurrence, or every few months?
I happen very often, each time we have a big rain fall in the region; all over the year. There are alert system along the river and the place is being used to study these phenomena. The rivers end up in the Rhône at Leuk (Switzerland)
that made me think, the Earth is getting more flat with time? It sems mountains had to be at least double the size of today.
@@anonimails It depends on where on Earth you are referring to. The Himalaya mountains are growing taller because the Indian plate is pushing up against the Asian plate at a rate of about 2 inches per year. Here in eastern North America, the Appalachian mountains are slowly eroding; they were once thought to be as high as the Himalayas millions of years ago. The Swiss Alps are growing because the African plate is moving northward, just not as fast as the Himalayas.
Wow some of those boulders are MASSIVE!
Jesus loves you. God sent Him on the cross to die for YOU so you can be freed from sin and spend all eternity in heaven. He’s coming soon!

Imagine being an ant and seeing that
👁️👄👁️
Dear ant felt "omg my country is filled with chocolate milkshake" 😂😁
Incroyable 😱 la taille des blocs déplacés par cette vague de boue !!!
Those are some massive boulders being pushed around. Anyone caught in that, is history.
Those huge boulders are like, “ we’ve been here for years don’t bug us”. Water is like, “Excuse me, coming through!” 🇺🇸😎👍
Awesome video - scary stuff !!
Les premiers cailloux sont exceptionnels !!! Fascinant ce phénomène…très fascinant
god, imagine being in a canyon with this coming at you.
You know, I don’t wanna get nightmares, so I’ll pass on that, thank you very much! 😅

Great video, spetactular debris flow!!
bufera87
Look at the size of those boulders!!!!
Stones be like:
Our time has come, girls !
Damn nature, your scary. Those was big ass boulders being thrown around like nothing.
Damn, someone beat me to the reference, the first thing that came to my mind too.
WOW MERCI
This catastrophes of the edge light is Seen!
It just looks like the Texas border.
I don't know where this is but I just hope it isn't uphill from me.
So that's how the Pioneer's used to ride Rocks for miles. Who knew!
That's how they delivered pizza.
Great footage. I noticed that there are hundreds of dislikes!, why watch this, then dislike it?, what is there to do dislike?
In case anyone missed it, those boulders are freaking ginormous. Consider how big they are, and how much force/effort it would take to move one. Then realise that they are just flowing along easily in that slide. Let that show you that nature is scary when she wants to be.
Isnt God wonderful?! Jesus loves you. God sent Him on the cross to die for YOU so you can be freed from sin and spend all eternity in heaven. He’s coming soon!

@@psalm3496 Okay buddy. Try commenting somewhere with better context next time.
some random chipmunk who was just minding his business: bro... what...
I think this is because of liquefaction. When the ground turns to a water-like substance, and behaves just like fast flowing water.
No it is not.
Amazing is right
The power of the Mother Natural.
Those boulders are massive
NATURE'S Bulldozing! Now many can imagine how very large polished Rocks weighing thousans of tons are seen on plain grounds, with no rocky ground below them.Sheer force of running water brought them from rocky hill areas to lower plains getting its exteriors gradually polished by water and other sandy particles in water for millions of years.
Wow. The force of water is amazing!! I can barley lift 200lbs and those boulders were flying around like nothing.
Let's call it water and gravity
I love how those boulders are in the frontline.
The nature is so powerful
Impresionante la brutal fuerza con la que lleva a esas gigantescas rocas..!
That is pretty much exactly the same thing as a Lahar.
Dangerous to be in front of in any case.
Lahars are caused by volcanic eruptions. This one is from seasonal rains causing mud flows.
I would love to see something like that!!
That would surprise the s**t right out of me . I've never seen anything like it. Cheers

@@psalm3496 - Whackjob!
Scary but spectacular!
Wow those boulders are humongous 😮!!!!!!!
Now that’s what I call a flash flood 👌👏
What bugs see when concrete comes pouring out of a mixing truck
The size of those boulders!!!
Construction worker: you need a big dozer like a Cat D-10 to move that boulder .
Mother nature: hold my beer....
Yeah. This IS cool.
To move those giant boulders is really something
It must be the most exciting moment in a rocks life
It was like it made concrete at the end. Immense power.
That's how gold gets washed down rivers I'm sure. 🇵🇬⚒️
لااله الا الله محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
Literally looks like a concrete pour.
Never underestimate Mother Nature
Expand for the biblical Flood. We have a great reference on a smaller scale with Mt St Helens in 1980.
Some of those boulders were 50 tons or more each !!
@@WeiFinder I think he's filming from a long ways away and those boulders are much bigger than you think. Too bad there wasn't someone standing down by the creek bed so we could get a better reference :)
Sometimes 80 tons.
So much wow
That's amazing. It looks like solid sand & dirt just pushing those huge boulders through the dead creek. I wonder if it could push over a large bus?
Totally it could, water is the most powerful force on this planet.
Debris flows are mostly sediment. The boulders are moved via a rafting effect of combined strong buoyant forces from the clay and upward forces from smaller rocks being pushed under the large boulders. Also yes, a bus would crumple like nothing. That flow would destroy a building, I would be surprised if a modern tank could even withstand something like that... I doubt it.
@@syllys167 The first thing that caught my eye was that the large boulders are at the front of the debris flow. And thank you for the explanation on the dynamics of the flow.
@@WeiFinder You can see in this video rocks that weigh more than 50 tons.
@@WeiFinder Your math is really bad, you only need a 4.8.x2x2 meters rock it to be 50 tons, and you can see there way bigger rocks.
impressive
Keep rollin, rollin, rollin...
Liquifaction - understood in theory , but still can't believe it when I see it
It looks like a small creek at the beginning until you see just how large it is.
When Mother Nature has Diarrhea.
Wait till you see what happens when it gets Hepatitis or UTI.
WAIT NO I TAKE THAT BACK
wow! What caused this? Those boulders can break the dam.
There is no dam there, just obstacles to keep the speed of the debrie down.
Many years ago, They tried to build very heavy concrete walls to slow down or stop these big blocs... they all broke...
i don't get how such massive boulders are being pushed along by water rather than the water simply flowing to either side of it... it should require quite a massive amount of energy to move them right? normally in rivers and such, rocks of that size just lie still... so why do they move like that here? is the flow there mostly solid particles or something?
Excellent 👌😍🌹
This looked really little until i saw that dropoff. Then I had to pause and be like "hey, wait, hey wait hey hey wait HEY WAIT HEY"
Wow! That was really something! Where is Illgraben?
And that is how the Grand Canyon was made.
Water is water. Seems something weak and friendly as we use it for showering.
But water makes world go around. It is 80% of planet coverage. Can do all. Can move mountains, can change earth profile
A few million years from now. A new Grand Canyon.
Oh my kanton, where have at many graves and rivers shields saying careful suddenly can come a lot of water.
My local newspaper can no longer report on rising water levels as being a flood - it can only be a flash-flood.
"Flash-floods Expected Today Due to High-Than-Normal Tides!"
I've started sending them videos like this one and suggesting they get out more rather than sensationalising a perfectly ordinary event with their stupid comments.
is that water or sand?
Never understood flashfloods.. now i do
Fez o aterramento todinho.... :O
The power of water move out of way 📷💦⛈️🚝
The big boulder is estimated at 60-70 tons.
nature was like hey you need a new 2 lane road?
