    Apparently, there were no actual explosive volcanoes that formed the Valley of Fires. The molten lave simply flowed straight out of the earth from fissures. This type of volcanic activity is also why New Mexico and Arizona are rich in copper deposits. And those lava fields are Geologically quite recent.

    • @karliw2218
      @karliw2218 Před 3 lety +2

      Right, Apollo it reminds me of what is happening in Iceland now. Volcano started March 20, then a new fissure opened and t he lava flowed down to mare valley. In meantime the Bob Volcano filled the valley it was in. And more fissures opened. Growing substantially. Several locals filming.

    Hi Russ, thank you for taking us on this great trip. I bet that blueberry pie you bought in Pie Town was delicious! It looked good! Just a side note, in case any of your viewers might be interested in reading some "historical fiction", there is a Trilogy written by Michael McGarrity about 3 generations of cattle ranchers who homesteaded in the San Andreas mountains and much of the story/stories take place in the Tularosa Basin. The author writes about the Trinity first Atom bomb and a lot about life on a ranch in that area. Great reading. Three books beginning with "Hard Country" which starts in the late 1880's, 2nd book is "Backlands", the 3rd is called "The Last Ranch", which includes the Trinity blast. OK, thanks.
