So we will say 11°c or 12°c is absolutely freezing. If you go to tropical countries where the normal temperature here is around 32°c to 40°c, you may say it's too hot but it's actually nothing to us. We all have adapted to our surrounding temperature.

This is fascinating to watch. Think about it in terms of when the Zanclean Flood happened. That (according to the theory) is when the straight of Gibraltar was breached and filled the basin that is now the mediterranean sea. The inflow of fresh-water from rivers does not offset the evaporation of the sea, so it eventually dried up (more or less). Then about 5.33M years ago, the Atlantic Ocean started to fill it up again. It probably started as a trickle like this and then eroded a path and got bigger and bigger as more water flowed in.

I saw a similar video like this about a river breach in Hawaii, I think on Oahu. But the way the tides work is that as soon as the accumulated water masses flowed off into the sea, the waves create new sand banks that block the now empty river basin from constantly flowing into the ocean. That way the basin fills up again naturally until another breach occurs. It's a natural process and the people that created the breach on Oahu did so with legal clearance from the local authorities. Not sure why everyone says that the guy in this video also created the breach himself but even if he did, the tides would create a new barrier between the river and the ocean anyways so calm down everyone. It's an impressive natural spectacle and to witness this is just incredible!

01:31 onwards... That's how the grand canyon was made. The time lapse :-)

Actually, this is more how the Snake River canyon in Idaho was created. Grand Canyon was created over millions of years. Snake River Canyon in Idaho I believe was created when the the melted waters behind a glacier broke through and dug the canyon in a single event.

+Wailwulf The Grand Canyon was actually made in a single weekend by the McElvey Brothers in 1987. It is still not understood why these four brothers decided to dig out such a great amount of the earth, but afterwards the eldest, John McElvey stated "If you build it they will come".

+Bob Clover LOL I was wondering about all the construction equipment when I saw it in 1982

No, because I visited the Grand Canyon and personally saw it in 1961. So the massive excavation has to have happened before that time - perhaps in 1960?

the grand canyon was likely the byproduct of electrical activity

its amazing to think that if he put a bit of sand in the beginning he could prevent a river breach

The camera person was on a rock outcrop, so they were pretty safe.

As someone who grew up in Amanzimtoti and had lived in colder places I started laughing immediately when you said: "It's absolutely freezing here." cause I knew what was coming, and the "11 or 12 degrees" comment confirmed it. Miss that beautiful sweltering heat of the south coast. Those days where you have to be in the sea or a pool or you won't make it. But when you move around a bit you realise that having to put on a jersey for two weeks in winter isn't "freezing". :-)

@sthompson1000 Жыл бұрын

That looks absolutely terrifying. It was so brave of you to stay and film this example of nature's power and majesty. I hope you weren't too cold in the "freezing" 11C temperatures... Maybe a pullover or a hat could have helped.
