Such footage makes it hard to believe that it takes millions of years to wash down a mountain! 3 hours of this show and the alpes where history...Great stuff, thanks a lot!
you probably dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost my account password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Rhett Myles Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Absolutely mind blowing the amount of force needed to move boulders that size. I can see over time how this debris could change the course of the river it empties into. Thank you for sharing.
This is a perfect example of “water being the enemy”. The geologic engineering firm I worked at for 10 years, talked about the power of water all the time. The boulders being pushed along are larger than some homes. Give a little trickle of water a path and it will end up looking like this. I love Mother Nature❤️
Those rocks are far from the size of houses biggest rocks in that vid look to be about 10 tons. A rock even the size of a small house would be at least 500 to 1000 tons..
@@cruzanmongoose I'll go with your guestimate. In the vid he has ~4x4x2 and 50T. It did look like 4 feet x 4 feet x 2 feet (not meters)( there were branches and leaves in the foreground to give a little scale) and definately not 50 tons or tonnes.
Das Wasser hat soviel Kraft! Bin erst vor ein paar Tagen auf Ihre Videos gestoßen und bin verblüfft, was da im Illgraben abgeht ! Vielen Dank und ich werde weiter mit Begeisterung und Erstaunen hier zusehen 👍
I like the way you filmed this video, the angles were great! I enjoy seeing those huge rocks tumble down. It's kind of hypnotic, lol Keep the videos coming! 👍
I'm always amazed at how little water there is at the start of some of these flows, particularly this one. I think the 04.06.20 flow is the first one I've seen that had a lot of water at the start of the flow.
Holeee Christmas ! The size of those boulders being tossed around like ping pong balls is mind boggling... This is incredible ! Water is truly a most fascinating and powerful substance .. Great video share !!! Watched the entire 15 minutes in awe !
Total power right there. Being able to move boulders the size of semi trucks is no easy task and this river is moving them like pebbles. Raw power of nature.
Respect for the power of Water and Gravity. This is how the World is carved out with the Migration of Rocks down stream to try and make a level playing field, lol. John Australia. Thumbs up.
Those huge boulders don’t seem reappear once they’ve dropped over the concrete edge. Is there a really deep ditch there where they accumulate, or are they just being pulverised and moving on as smaller pieces?
it amazes me that the amount falling in compared to the small stream coming out. can you explain that. where is all the water going when it falls over the concrete wall.
Now we must compliment the Swiss people, who manage to direct the course of such a monster.. There are countries in the world where such torrents are left to find their own way down.. Right through a village....
He visto varios video de estos movimientos de material, ( y mejor pasar por tonto una vez que no toda la vida ) , ¿ QUÉ CLASE DE MATERIAL ES EL QUE SE REVUELVE CON EL AGUA, PARA MOVER SEMEJANTES PIEDRAS COMO SI FUERAN CAJAS DE FÓSFOROS, 🤔
Lieber Pierre, meine Glückwunsche über diesen interessanten Video,.. Ich möchte nur gerne wissen, wohin die Rhône fliesst, , zu einem See oder direkt in Richtung Meer?

I see a few of the big boulders moving in the foreground. Are many of the big rocks falling into the eroded hole under the waterfall and not coming out again whole? In other words they get struck by subsequent boulders and broken up (and only then continue downstream).
In part but most are not brocken up and go down further, flat in the mud, which is 2 - 3 m deep in the middle. The blocks which brake up are the yellow one because they are more tender, but they are very rare.

Perhaps I've studied a bit too much Forensic Pathology, but that kind of debris flow is perfect for 'disposal' ... What goes it will certainly not be the same as that reaching the river estuary ...
They are more like landing, the rocks goes over it. Takes the energy of the debris flow... But with the time the concrete is planed, the steel armature appear and they have to be renovated..
@@andyanderson6440 you have to remember big machines isn't allowed. Plus gold is frequently into quartz veins. 99% of rocks had no quartz veins and is one type of rock.
@@haseo8244 what, why no big machines ? Where does all that material go? Hell i would make gravel or blocks from that debri , it looks like concrete already.
That's the key point: the liquid that flow is barely water, it's mostly sand and small rocks, making it having a density close to liquid concrete, so boulders can almost "float" in it.
all that stuff is coming from somewhere i would want to trace it back to the source to see what the rain did after that rock and dirt has been moved out
Not to sound too much like a bourgeois capitalist, does anyone harvest the rocks that are tumbled down? I've watched most, if not all of your videos and it seems like a perfect way to use some of the debris while generating funds for the area. Landscaping, architects, builders, etc. Just curious.

You can go around the landscape and see that the waters were 400 feet sbove flow now some time before. You can see the rocks it left in its way.
I think in this case slope and gravity kinda helped move things along.
Renee Thompson , Awesome!!!!!

I don't know what it is that I like so much about your videos - I'm just very happy you keep making them! From a fan in Canada.
Quebec
Love it
Enjoy watching these type videos. Thanks for the weight estimate on the 50T boulder. Lots of energy being dissipated.
It's an amazing world we live in.....when a camera can zoom in so far to capture such detail......Amazing!
The nature Channel, in today's world i needed that.
I'm always amazed at how little water there is at the start of some of these flows, particularly this one. I think the 04.06.20 flow is the first one I've seen that had a lot of water at the start of the flow.
I love watching these ... I find myself rooting for a couple of the boulders ... come on, you can do it, yeah!
I love to see this, especially because I grew up in that region. Sweet memories, thank you for the effort. 👍
Totally amazing!!! I could watch this all day!!! Great videos!!
Simply 😍 amazing there 😁 are no words. Thank you for sharing. Boulder like?? WOW got love Gods ❤️ beauty. !!!

I miss right rock.
Millions of years to be pushed up, and minutes to come down. Gravity is glorious.
When Mother Nature moves we must all step back in awe
That's incredible 😮 and amazingly satisfying 👌 thank you for sharing it with us

It amazes me how easy those big boulders just roll down the stream. Wow.
Such an awesome display of mother nature!!!
Sehr beeindruckende Brocken von Steinen die da runter kommen.
Those huge boulders are basically floating!!
You’ve a great camera, man... the power of water....
Huiiii - waren diesmal wieder ein paar ordentliche Kaventsmänner dabei. Tolle Bilder und guter Sound - weiter so!👍
Boulders are freaking massive, it almost looks like a slurry from a concrete truck
Some are more than 20 metric tons...
I can imagine how often those concrete barriers have to be repaired or redone!
Those huge boulders don’t seem reappear once they’ve dropped over the concrete edge. Is there a really deep ditch there where they accumulate, or are they just being pulverised and moving on as smaller pieces?

definitely one of the best clip about debris flow!
Ah,so this is how mother nature makes concrete...
Yep, and THIS is how mother nature makes asphalt. ua-cam.com/video/5ZKoIZHKRUM/v-deo.html
Marble Canyon in Death Valley for instance.
Making little rocks out og big rocks. Incredible photography.
Imagine playing in there as a kid in the flash flood is your last memory...
Great zoom, great vantage point!
I would love to see the origin of all this. It seems like the whole side of a mountain came down. Crazy!
I believe a glacier is the origin but I could be wrong.
J'adore vidéo top. Merci

Thank You for this amazing video.
Thanks for the good work..!

wow, the giant stones and water that never fill up the hole to hell. amazing.
Video is amazing... any chance of a Drone for Up and Down stream videos?
yes but when it happens it is most of the time raining yet, sometimes lightning, wind.. . it would be my dream to catch it with a drone.
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 for that you need a weather station. Featured with camera
kind of a slow one, but those boulder - massive :) tx

I see a lot of great material that could be used low down on farming land. It's being ground down to smaller sizes. What type of rock is it?

Another super video. 👍
the thing is::the one stone is there on the gate it would weigh near 500 pounds there is not enough pressure to move it as the segments come down
Water, sculptor of our landscape, poet of the wilderness.
In what country did this Mud Flow take place.? Was this flow caused by Heavy Rain way up river or a Dam Breaking.?
Looks like the cement mixer for the great pyramid of Egypt !!!
Where does this water come from at this time? from a dam, sluice gate open?
This interesting concrete containment system (I don’t know what else to call it), does anyone know when it was constructed?
Began about 1963. Slow down the energy of the flow..
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 Thank you so much for answering! Your videos are marvelous. 😊
How many rocks can one mountain crap out?😅

Amazing video
Perhaps I've studied a bit too much Forensic Pathology, but that kind of debris flow is perfect for 'disposal' ...
What goes it will certainly not be the same as that reaching the river estuary ...
I've had similar thoughts. If you fell in, what came out at the bottom would be, at best, unrecognizable, and at worst, invisible.
What is (was) the purpose of the concrete structure?
James Campbell
To slow the flow and hence reduce the scour...
The one stubborn boulder on the right who refuses to go with the flow.
Мощь воды впечатляет. А говорят камни не плавают.
How do the giant rocks not break the concrete barriers?
They are more like landing, the rocks goes over it. Takes the energy of the debris flow... But with the time the concrete is planed, the steel armature appear and they have to be renovated..
What happens with the huge rocks, when they end up in river Rhone? Are they pulled out with machines?
In 100 Year is the huge rock a sand corn at the beach.
Hello, please look at my new video « Illgraben - Where does all that material go ? »
It seems like this could be prevented by removing all the mountains.
Is this happening several times every year?
How broken down or finely ground do these stones become by the end of the debris flow?
I don’t understand I see giant boulders going over but then smooth flowing out
Did the one rock to rule them all finally fall down
Your mind keeps telling you these rocks must be smaller than they appear, because if they are as big as they appear, then the biggest weigh many tons.
A Rolling Rock moment.
Where is this? It's really awesome!
I am interested in the downstream confluence.
I have it at the end of the video !
@@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 Thank you very much. I was able to confirm. I want to go to this place. from Japan···
Hello, please look at my new video « Illgraben - Where does all that material go ? »
There's gotta be some gold in there
Nope. Need black sands and it's way too young.

Cela arrive combien de fois par année ?
Donde va a dar tanta piedra al fondo. O cuanto fondo tiene esa caída de agua.
Is this something that is happening because of deforestation? Has it been happening for a long time?
My thoughts are it’s a glacial melt flow.
mother nature makes new land out of mountaines
Which place ? Country ?
Where/what is the source of all that?
all that stuff is coming from somewhere i would want to trace it back to the source to see what the rain did after that rock and dirt has been moved out
Awesome, and terrifying.
THIS ONE IS A HARD ONE TO FIGURE OUT if you don't spend some time at it
Insanity. These huge boulders that roll down there. This is Mother Nature

Yes, there is a gravel facility on the banks of the Rhone near the end of the outflow. You can see it in Google Earth.
Does any part of the debris channel ever have to be dredged?
I’ve been wondering 5he same thing. This is the third video I’ve watched, it is so mesmerizing. ,
Where does it end up?
Powerful nature.
