  • Why do I keep finding these huge holes in strange places?
    I dont know the answer. Several more Giant Hole discoveries on Google Earth compelled me to travel a very long distance into a strange and inhospitable land.
    There's one thing I do know. These these holes I found on Google Earth are ridiculously large, deep, and honestly frightening.
    If you have any ideas as to why the Holes don't let me sleep at night, please comment below. Oh, also curious as to what you all think created these amazing and beautiful places.

      (not an expert, just imaginative and mostly agree with the hypothesis above)
      Some of these areas look like they used to be where the ocean was, and it slowly swept away into a giant river system, creating these unique formations.

      I wonder if a geologist would be willing to repel to the bottom of the pit and do an archeological dig. Might find some human and animal remains down there. I'm sure it would create a whole new hypothesis as to how the pits were made. Lots of speculation going on.

      I read that it's caused by hundreds of years of continues pressures caused by miles thick glaciers.
      Edit: Did some additional research, it's still a debate but it's believe it's caused by millions of years of the colorado river flowing through it and it being a plateau for that long.

  • @aperson1
    @aperson1 Před 4 měsíci +3

    These holes are super interesting. For one thing, although it looks like you're on solid bedrock, clearly these holes aren't solid bottomed - there would be snow and water filling them up otherwise. In some there's just a little bit, but they must be at least a little porous at the bottom. I have no idea how they formed but I thought that was interesting to note. It seems in every case, they deepen first and then widen out later - which makes me think these are potentially extremely eroded sinkholes? The smooth sides are just because the wind has been eroding the sandstone for hundreds of thousands of years.

    I’ve done similar things in Vietnam, finding interesting things in Google Maps and then finding it. 100 million population and in a tiny country 20% smaller than California, you’d think everything has been found, but locals are lazy and not into hiking or exploring or anything dangerous. You can still find unexplored places but the threat of poisonous insects, spiders, and snakes, as well as landmines and unexplored bombs are very real.
    Consider that the largest cave in the world, Son Doong, wasn’t found until 1990 and not even surveyed until 2009. Of course now it’s a tourist trap and destroyed and littered with trash and construction debris like every beautiful place discovered in Vietnam.

    Hey,good to see you & dog again,Happy New Year & thanks for letting us experience this beautiful landscape vicariously.
    I've spent a lot of time in deserts near the equator & have never seen typography quite like this,but,the utter beauty of raw desert is for some reason my preference over highly vegetative landscape.
    Seeing yours & your dogs shadow,make me realise just how stupid i was back in my days of treck ,out in the middle of nowhere, I'm guessing you check in & have GPS tracking of some sort? The best i ever had was a walkie-talkie,but depending on terrain it wasn't guaranteed to work.
    I've never been a great fan of subzero temperatures, though as you know even in the summer/hot part of the year,the temperature can drop wildly at night. Im going to do a bit of googling to try and really understand the dynamics that shape your type of landscape. Thanks again for sharing it.

    According to a documentary I saw, these types of surface scars are caused by water erosion. But to be caused on this scale means that there was a catastrophic amount of water flowing that would have created it relatively quickly, such as by a 1300' tital wave that flowed inland then back out to sea, like seen across the landscape of the US just south of the Canadian border. I can confirm that that tidal wave was due to the sinking of the continent of Lemuria, since you are presumably on the west coast.

    You should definitely look up Randall Carlson's work. He has a perfect explenation on how these holes are created. I am guessing this is part of the channeled scablands near Washington?
    There have been massive floods at the end of the last ice age in that region. Basically these are created by underwater turbulence, a swirling vortex under water.

    Have you ever set up a trail camera to capture what happens in these holes during a rainstorm?

    A book. Briefly describe each each each excersion, briefly how you felt, how your dog reacted throughout. Find photos that you only took to describe in glossiness and reach for it if the day comes to manuscript it. For it may not always be to download like we do today but to curl up and read it they will , ought to, recommend it to their friends too.😊
