Grew up in Minnesota dad was a geologist. He talked to me about all of this. Back in the 70s. Ive been to nearly every place he spoke about. Gram and randal are 100% correct. We are , were. also avid scuba divers. The under water Boulder fields of lake are just as informative.
Randall is one hell of a communicator. I second his motion that his work has contributed to the spreading of information and interest in geology, the mega floods and the younger dryas impact hypothesis. I also love his work on helping to interpret the symbols used in esoteric art.
Hi Randall. I live in Thunder Bay. The amount of small lakes and waterways in this region is staggering. I suspected they formed after a meteor impact that left holes like shrapnel from the main impact. But I thought it Hudson Bay was the impact point not Lake Nipigon. This is so interesting. Thank you for your research into this fascinating geological area.
Omg... You people see meteorite craters everywhere. 😂 And FYI no, this lake isn't a crater. 🙄 You people seem to think Randall is the 1st person to look at the lake.
I’m here in northern Michigan, and I believe Cosmic Tusk has research on the Carolina Bays being formed from extruded material (likely ice, as it left no traceable material) from an impact to the Saginaw Bay of Michigan area. Common trajectory based on the Bays ellipses. Pretty wild.
Randall Carlson with reason, rational, and logic combined with grandiose descriptive beauty explaining and making clear the hypothesis of a younger dryas cosmic impact on the glacial ice sheet in the lake Nipigon region of Canada just north of lake Superior of the Great Lakes of Michigan.
You absolutely, had a part in getting the concept of Younger Dryas catastrophe, out there. But not a small one. Your determination and concise interpretation of the facts has been the glue that holds and shapes the model of that time. And you are still doing that, as new information comes to light. That is all you Randall; yes others were there to shine light but you were the only person pulling everything together. Now there is a huge team, still growing and still working it out.
Great video. Really interesting info. There were definitely impacts coinciding with the end of the last ice age. I could listen to you talk about this all day Mr Carlson
It Lake Nipigon proves out to be an ellipse as part of a conical section, what I see is something flaming emanating from the mouth of the constellation Draco, especially from more southern viewpoints. There are lots of dragon myths out there. Chilling, no pun intended. Thanks for bringing this class to see on youtube.
Excellent presentation Randall! I am Canadian and really enjoyed your look at lake nipigon. The Sudbury nickel nine and lace st Jean in Quebec are also suspected meteor impacts.
Spent a week fishing North Wind Lake. It's the big long lake just north of Lake Nipigon. It is connected to Lake Nipigon. Beautiful area. I saw the huge straight wall cliffs around the Lake Nipigon area. Some were hundreds of feet high with waterfalls. Great video!
Wow this blew my mind , thank you mr Carlson for your explanation of our history in Canada, people never realize how this landscape was formed thousands of years ago , I’ve watch your interview with graham handcock on the joe Rogan show , that was very interesting especially the pictures of Washington state , thank you
I grew up in the Hudson Valley NY area. When i was a child in school, we were taught that the hudson river was carved by a giant flood when the ice dam in lake Ontario broke. For some reason, even as a child, i had a hard time believing that story. It just never seemed like it was enough water to carve those giant cliffs you can see along the hudson river when crossing the George Washington Bridge, and the Tappan Zee Bridge. Its crazy to me that they are now saying this water possibly came from the younger dryis flood. It makes a lot more sense when you see the scale of the hudson river cliffs
I grew up in French River. Across the road from my aunts home is this a gigantic oblong smooth rock .it looks like it was just dropped there like it fell from the sky we used to play on it when we were kids. It wasn't buried very deep it seemed, is what didn't make sense to me at a young age. I. 55 now, today its becoming more like a raised little forest all overgrowth surrounding it. We used to pull mica off of certain areas of it. Even found round rocks full of amethyst. I looked at this rock on my aunts side I swear I see a giant tree ring if I look at this rock in a certain way.
Absolutely LOVE your podcasts. I live in the Appalachian Highlands of Southwestern Virginia, one of the most beautiful places you'll find in the USA. Could listen to these podcasts for days
Hi Randall. You can see the massive flood in Lake Tahoe. From Truckee to Reno and you can even see the water line in Reno where the canyon opened up and the lake was 🙏🥰😇
Add to this the possible impact near Detroit that created the Carolina Bays. The Greenland crater (possibly). And who knows however many more. Perhaps the planet was hit by a string or chain of large comet debris either simultaneously or in quick succession. Btw, I have canoed near Atikokan once and have spent months collectively camping/canoeing in the Boundary Waters since 1995. I have always been amazed at and have tried to imagine the forces that created the insane geology exposed in these areas. I will tell you, the bedrock is lifted, bent, broken, tilted in myriad insane ways. It is often exposed and easy to see. I go back pretty much every year because I just happen to love it. Where I go is not anywhere near as dramatic as the Lake Nipigon area pictures you show here. Incredible, nonetheless.
Great spiel Randal, appreciate your fortitude digging into and presenting the story. I ran across another presentation of the Greenland comet impact by Antonio Zamora. His story presents the temperature rise due to the comets impacting the ice and winds that followed. Also the global impacts range of after affects occuring 58 million years ago.
The Thunder Bay area is also one of the only places on earth with natural prasiolite, which is considered an impact proxy if I'm not mistaken. I've been thinking about this area through this lens since I found Randall's videos, and it certainly looks like a lot of flooding damage has been done here. Huge glacial erratics, and mountains reduced to rubble everywhere.
I live in Thunder Bay and your yellow elevation points around lake nipigon I can confirm they are high elevation areas. My old man shot a bull moose probably exactly on one of your tabs hahah. What was neat was we were on a high ridge and we could see another high ridge in distance. Kms away. We drove and drove this road and ended up on another ridge. Where we could see black sturgeon lake and lake nipigon. Amazing area haha love all the little hidden gem lakes rich with trout!
Lake Mistassini should be included in the analysis. It's a scour channel with other features dappled all along the distance to Nipigon. And the scab lands. The wide area of catastrophic effects tend to make less sense for an impact or even a string of impacts and more for the pole shift (which our poles are "wandering" right now, accelerating too) that scoops water out of the North Atlantic and all through "the glacier region".
The overlook you likely stopped at is ouimet canyon, amazing place to visit and unique flora found there not native to the region. Oh, by the way, one of your earlier slides you had Southern Ontario listed. We are proud Northwestern Ontario residents. If you need info regarding the area, welcome to reach out.
Absolutely feasible and I'm with you Randal. The southern Superior spillway at Deluth traces to Grand Rapids Minnesota and is the current beginning source of water in the Mississippi flowing south to the Gulf of Mexico. I stopped at a roadside park on the Misissippi river, off Highway 2 fishing in the mid 90's, just west of Grand Rapids. The "Sleeping Giant" looks like a giant Indian chief in full head dress lying on his back, out in the bay and can be seen from the Trans Canada Highway in many places along the north shore of Superior. Of course the deluge of melt water would spill northwest onto James bay, some would make its way through the chain of great lakes to the St. Lawrence river and would also flow south down the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico. Lake sediment analysis can be found in Ontario Geological Survey for the Lake Nipigon/Thunderbay area under ThunderBay mining district, as well as quaternary studies. I'm sure there are many documents found in Manitoba too. Love all your videos Randal! From Lloyd in Central Ontario, Canada.
Great work as always! Have you ever heard of Pedra do Frade in Brazil? It's a granite monolithic structure with two giant slabs balanced on a cliff. The bottom slab is a sail-like cutting, with a triangular "cheese-like" balanced on top. They both point in the directions the sun rises in different seasons, I really think it is an astroarcheological site.
Personally I and most of the people I socialise with wouldn't know about the younger dryas impact if it wasn't for Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock on joe Rogan the first time together, since then I've been hooked on Randall Carlson's knowledge his logic is flawless
Being a local to the NW Ontario area. Born in Front Frances, lived in Thunder Bay for years, and did quite a bit of fishing on Lake Nipigon, the Nipigon River as well as dozens of other lakes and rivers, in areas all over NWO.. You're barely scratching the surface of the secrets of that area, its a geological and geographical oddity of a location, from Lake of the Woods, to Thunder Bay, all the way up to James, and Hudsons Bay. There are unique features in the whole of area for geography, from obvious glacial carved lakes, to possible impact craters lakes, to volcanic tuft bedrock and massive volcanic fault zones. The western edge of Superior is also on the edge if the "mid american rift" the crustal anomaly that almost led to the splitting of North America. As far minerals or metals, take your pick, platinum, palladium, nickel, copper, zinc, iron, silver, gold. Its all there. If you are indeed planning to visit the area, 4 days is NOT going to be enough time to explore. What kind of samples would you be looking to get ? Lake bed sediment? Rock or mineral samples ? Personally, if I were you, Id talk to a local prospector, or possibly even the mineral exploration drillers in the area, if you wanna know the lay of the land, and what rocks can be found where, and why.. Get some local perspective.
Yes petemclean. Thanks for the post. I would have already done field recon but my plans got derailed by covid shutdowns. I am looking to visit next summer. I have definitely gotten the impression that the area is geologically and geographically unique, an oddity as you say. Platinum, palladium and nickel are known impact proxies. Macro scale evidence could include shocked quartz if there are accessible silicon based rocks, and shatter cones in carbonate rocks. Talking to local prospectors or drillers is an excellent idea. Lake bed sediments might contain micro scale impact proxies such as nanodiamonds, microspherules, magnetic grains. These would be need to be examined by scanning electron microscope to verify. 100% agree: 4 days is not enough time.
@TheRandallCarlson The Thunder Bay MNR, (Ministry of natural resources) should still have the stored and cataloged core samples from all over that area. As well as copies of any geological surveys, and or prospecting / mining records from the area. If there's an existing lead on already found shocked quartz, or other geological oddities in the rock cores, that could help to prove an impact. That's probably a good place to start looking. There's a good possibility of it being recorded already, just overlooked, or not understood. There are also some assay labs in Thunder Bay that might be able to help with metals analysis of any samples you do take. Lakehead University might be able to handle any micro or macro investigation, if not, I'm pretty sure there is at least one geology lab in Thunder Bay to analyze samples. If Lake Nipigon is indeed that tipping point impact, for the younger dryas. Its most likely that it was a SW - NE trajectory. Ontario is covered in impact craters, forming an almost straight line from SW - NE. The more known craters are a lot more easterly than Lake Nipigon, but who's to say there wasn't a stray.
I love your work and you definitely got my attention and I was wondering if you heard about the 40 crater holes at the bottom of Lake Michigan plus the Stonehedge structures they found down there too?
Randall you should look into Northern Québec there is a nice Formation that he would like looks like an impact! Same place where they built the dams where they filled it with water! Looks 😍! I'm sure you will like it!
Hey, I tried to get you on my radio show. I’ve done a lot of prospecting through out the Thunder Bay district. There is a lot more stuff to see mineralogy in the area. Magnet mines, gold, copper , silver deposits
Look at a map of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. To me it looks like a massive amount of water came rushing out of the St. Lawrence River, then was blocked by the mountain range that is the north end of the Appalachians. The water swirled around forcing its way into the Bay of Funday as well as the St. Lawrence straits and north out of the Strait of Bell Isle. Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Island are big sand bars left by the swirling waters.
@anulfadventures You can see the small impact on the eastern end of Lake Ontario from Google Earth. This impact caused a large water flow, rushing through the St. Lawrence Straits, which caused the sandbars made by the water's displacement from the Impact.
Love carlsons videos and work. One thing that was mentioned at the end of the video and was hard for me to wrapy head around is the impact effect on the surface underneath what was estimated no more than a mile of ice. I think he brings pretty solid evidence but i would love to see more reasearch on the results of impacts to the ice sheet perhaps if reenactments of impact scenarios on a small scale could at least give us an understanding how ice responds to imapct
I live in Canada and when we were kids we were taught nothing about the ice age and floods. These events need to be taught and become common knowledge. We're a long way from that.
How great has Google Earth and (especially) the topographical maps been in helping to advance research into this theory? I have been watching your videos for a while now and you have developed an expert ability to recognize these features, which become undeniable (imo) when looking at the topographical features.
Wow! Lake Nipigon is right smack dab in the center of a large impact basin which in itself looks larger (at least to me it does) in diameter than most impact basins on the moon.
my suggestion for looking for evidence of an impact is micro metallic spherules that might occur in heavy mineral sands along the meltwater channels. Take some screens and pans to make concentrates to further analyze when back home.
I BINGE on KOSMOGRAPHIA thru My 8-9 HOUR WORKSHIFT. I LOVE the FIRST 12 EPISODES! I LISTEN to THEM REPETITIOUSLY! Bc "The DEVIL is in the DETAILS!" Thank You Randall Carlson!
Randall you had a huge role in these conversations taking place. It surely connected dots for me. We disagree on some things but for that I am grateful to you. Man that was crazy! I gotta watch again. I'm with my classmate the geology maj. thinking of an asteroid hitting the ice sheet. That's effing bAnAnAs! 🍌🤔💥
Awesome info Mr Carlson. Its hard to understand how this info isn't more 'main stream'. Though since i started to look into this myself by reading and watching the main stream stuff. Some of those people are changing there minds a little anyway. Hopefully Brian Atwood will offer an interesting conclusion.
You should look at southern Maine as it has very similar land structures. There is a large bowl shaped lake ‘Sebago’. there are vast areas of boulders and cliffs that were cut into the hills and mountains. I expect it was the result of the same event. I suspect that the area of devastation was significantly larger than that you are proposing here. There are large areas of sand layers easily over 30 feet thick. Most of this is covered in Forrest obscuring the area. Many very large rounded boulders the size of a small home spread about the area. You should look over a much larger area. I suspect the Hudson Bay was the primary impact with the others as secondary. I have suspected this since I was quite young seeing raised topographic maps covering the area of middle Canada.
Such a phase change of so much water would also result in diluvio rainfall across the world as the atmosphere would be overwhelmed with water vapor. Between that and the spontaneous ocean level rise I can only imagine the horrible biblical times the ancestors would have experienced. Literally, they would have experienced a collective consciousness moment that would have been transferred orally for centuries by priests.
black sturgeon lake and river are amazing. the lake is ice cold even in the middle of summer because it's so deep. there is quite the elevation change in the river and they used to send logs down it (logging industry) which gave the river the most perfect series of rapids for whitewater kayaking because all of the rocks have been pushed out of them.
Fascinating! One would have to take into account the timing and conditions at the time of the impacts. What was the season when this rock arrived? Approximately how fast would it have been traveling upon impact? Would there have been a major difference of impact in winter vs summer 12,000 years ago? If in winter time, would a massive winter snow storm have any barring on the meteors ? Colder denser air slowing down the rock, cooling it prior to its impact...? Once on impact hitting a mile high block sheet of ice, the ice water instantly melting, evaporating creating massive rain and snow falls for an extended period, a few months? over a few years? Most impressive and most logical discussion on these subjects I have ever enjoyed. Thank You Sir !
I can just imagine, a giant meteor shower impacting over the horizon of the 2 mile tall glacier in the northern horizon. The sky lights up as smaller impacts both lead and follow the larger meteors, then it all goes dark again. All of a sudden there is this sound, this rushing white noise like static that just gets louder, and louder, and then the ground starts to vibrate and a massive wall of water approaches upwards of 500 feet tall. It's crazy to know that nature and the cosmos are capable of such utterly destructive power. I imagine the "cold snap" came from the nuclear winter after the impacts. Who knows how many showers there were, but there was obviously 2 major ones that caused 2 extinction events.
there is a suggestion that a nearby supernova affected the sun which had a super huge Carrington event, which caused the melting the of the ice sheets some 12,000 year ago.
I'm by Lake Erie in Ontario, there's rocks and stones that have world maps on them, they're compasses, ancient ones, load stone magnetic stones, the moon is the same image so when it wasnt out you could use a stone. I film these on my channel
I have a small stone I found that is K2. I have maybe 200-250 lbs I haven't even looked at yet. I may have one of Mount Kailash, maybe many more. It's so much stuff I found so quickly I burned out and people think I'm nuts because they lack an education. This is in WV, where the King of England told people to leave the natives alone. There are megaliths here, seem to be manufactured. It defies Flint Dibble.
Riding down the highway in southwestern Pa looks like we purposely built our entire civilization exactly where the water came through. But I’m nobody lol
Being from the PNW, if the floods happened again not even our dumps would remain. The entire civilization is built in "reclamation lands" according to the department of the interior. Has a lot to do with how they decided the navy could build dykes and form navy bases within the interior so long as it was the equivalent of a "stranded ship", even if it is the size of a base they call it a deck.
@@who-nobody-never luckily the ice caps are gone, probably why it’s says god won’t flood the earth again. I think we should reconsider what Nostradamus was really talking about…
@@aaronstandingbear because 90% of everybody for the last few centuries thinks god got a plan so we’ve abandoned our responsibilities at least we have cell phones
At 20.09, the red topographical map shows how much high ground was blasted away by the impact. You can see the high ground to the right and left. Obviously this high ground would have been homogenous across the map... It is a really big impact. As Carlson says, there were probably many of these impacts across the northern hemisphere, wiping out all the big animals...
i was just casually listening and heard big stone county. i live 20 mins from there. my uncle used to work at the cory there i remember getting bags of dirt and rock and we would find shark teeth fossils
Randall Carlson podcasts are what I live for.
Best part of my day when there’s a new Randall vid
Same here

Thank you for your research into this fascinating geological area.
I am at the exact other side on the shores of Lake Agassiz West of Roseisle Manitoba.
Wonder if there are any minerals an metals often found near impact areas. Haiti is full of Iridium from an impact in the Gulf
I actually believe Hudsons Bay is a meteor impact crater. Too obvious for anything else.
Omg... You people see meteorite craters everywhere. 😂
And FYI no, this lake isn't a crater. 🙄 You people seem to think Randall is the 1st person to look at the lake.

Thank you Randle for using an Old School Pointer, that helps tremendously in the video.
You are the man from geometry to ancient catastrophes blows my mind 🫡
Fascinating presentation Randall. Thank you for sharing!

Randall, you had more than a small part in getting the younger dryas out there. You ARE the reason it's out there so prevalently now
It’s very interesting listening to this lecture again after years and recognizing some of the voices in the audience
I was thinking this a couple of months ago. Been a resident of the area my whole life. Another great idea Randall Carlson
Randall Carlson Saab please keep going and share us the knowledge... With love from India....
Seeing the pictures of the canyons and other features, especially once you know what caused them, is unbelievably awesome!!
Randall, you played an enormous part in helping get this idea out here. And it's a great idea.
Exciting. My family is from Nipigon.
Best fishing on earth.

Same idea as Sudbury and Wanapitei Lake. That's why there are so many profitable mines around that area.
I have been following this since Graham Handcock first suggested it . Please keep up the good work sir.
Wow. Lived in Thunder Bay my whole life- and my parents retired to Nipigon- and this is the first I'm hearing about al this
Wow this blew my mind , thank you mr Carlson for your explanation of our history in Canada, people never realize how this landscape was formed thousands of years ago , I’ve watch your interview with graham handcock on the joe Rogan show , that was very interesting especially the pictures of Washington state , thank you

Yall make ranch dressing there?
Wish I could be in these classes. This is so awesome!
I’ve canoed on Nipigon a few times. Had no idea it may be an impact crater. Fascinating hypothesis

Ive sat down with eric and talked with him for about 2 hours. He's probably the most intellectual man I've ever met. Great dude
this is insane I only hope others start to see what's going on here. props to sir Carlson
So distracted almost forgot to give it a like. Amazing 😮
Right. Im trying to level up in my game and Randal Carlson is Dropping bombs in the background. I love this man.
Thanks brother 🙏

Montreal river pancake bay. The lake monster pictographs were amazing next time thru I'm staying at least a week. Thx Mr carlson
Huge fan. I always saw Thunder Bay as a contender for the impact point.

THANK YOU!
Randell I’m from the Tannana Valley in Alaska the only spot there was no ice during the last ice age, we have some things you need to see
Lake Mistassini should be included in the analysis. It's a scour channel with other features dappled all along the distance to Nipigon. And the scab lands. The wide area of catastrophic effects tend to make less sense for an impact or even a string of impacts and more for the pole shift (which our poles are "wandering" right now, accelerating too) that scoops water out of the North Atlantic and all through "the glacier region".
Grew up in T-Bay. Northwestern Ontario is some pretty rugged country fer sure. Did some fishing in L. Nipigon but mostly L. Superior.
Good times 🇨🇦
Randall that over view you mentioned you and your father went to is Quimet Canyon.
The overlook you likely stopped at is ouimet canyon, amazing place to visit and unique flora found there not native to the region.
Oh, by the way, one of your earlier slides you had Southern Ontario listed. We are proud Northwestern Ontario residents.

Watching Graham series on Netflix. Amazing work!
This explains everything. It will be my excuse on why I’m going fishing this morning. Thanks 😂
I'm in Toledo looking toward Michigan. Miles wide meters hit stretching the crust . My opinion.
thank you so much, you are my entrance into a fantastic part of geo history
The pictures were great!
Great work as always! Have you ever heard of Pedra do Frade in Brazil? It's a granite monolithic structure with two giant slabs balanced on a cliff.
The bottom slab is a sail-like cutting, with a triangular "cheese-like" balanced on top.
They both point in the directions the sun rises in different seasons, I really think it is an astroarcheological site.

You're barely scratching the surface of the secrets of that area, its a geological and geographical oddity of a location, from Lake of the Woods, to Thunder Bay, all the way up to James, and Hudsons Bay.
There are unique features in the whole of area for geography, from obvious glacial carved lakes, to possible impact craters lakes, to volcanic tuft bedrock and massive volcanic fault zones.
The western edge of Superior is also on the edge if the "mid american rift" the crustal anomaly that almost led to the splitting of North America.
As far minerals or metals, take your pick, platinum, palladium, nickel, copper, zinc, iron, silver, gold. Its all there.
If you are indeed planning to visit the area, 4 days is NOT going to be enough time to explore.
What kind of samples would you be looking to get ?
Lake bed sediment?
Rock or mineral samples ?
Personally, if I were you, Id talk to a local prospector, or possibly even the mineral exploration drillers in the area, if you wanna know the lay of the land, and what rocks can be found where, and why.. Get some local perspective.
Yes petemclean. Thanks for the post. I would have already done field recon but my plans got derailed by covid shutdowns. I am looking to visit next summer. I have definitely gotten the impression that the area is geologically and geographically unique, an oddity as you say. Platinum, palladium and nickel are known impact proxies. Macro scale evidence could include shocked quartz if there are accessible silicon based rocks, and shatter cones in carbonate rocks. Talking to local prospectors or drillers is an excellent idea. Lake bed sediments might contain micro scale impact proxies such as nanodiamonds, microspherules, magnetic grains. These would be need to be examined by scanning electron microscope to verify. 100% agree: 4 days is not enough time.
@TheRandallCarlson
The Thunder Bay MNR, (Ministry of natural resources) should still have the stored and cataloged core samples from all over that area.
As well as copies of any geological surveys, and or prospecting / mining records from the area.
If there's an existing lead on already found shocked quartz, or other geological oddities in the rock cores, that could help to prove an impact.
That's probably a good place to start looking.
There's a good possibility of it being recorded already, just overlooked, or not understood.
There are also some assay labs in Thunder Bay that might be able to help with metals analysis of any samples you do take.
Lakehead University might be able to handle any micro or macro investigation, if not, I'm pretty sure there is at least one geology lab in Thunder Bay to analyze samples.
If Lake Nipigon is indeed that tipping point impact, for the younger dryas.
Its most likely that it was a SW - NE trajectory.
Ontario is covered in impact craters, forming an almost straight line from SW - NE. The more known craters are a lot more easterly than Lake Nipigon, but who's to say there wasn't a stray.
I love your work and you definitely got my attention and I was wondering if you heard about the 40 crater holes at the bottom of Lake Michigan plus the Stonehedge structures they found down there too?
Aways fascinating!
Your work is awesome very interesting
Fascinating, as always!
Randall you should look into Northern Québec there is a nice Formation that he would like looks like an impact! Same place where they built the dams where they filled it with water! Looks 😍! I'm sure you will like it!
Having a clip of the video in the beginning is a nice feature
Hey, I tried to get you on my radio show. I’ve done a lot of prospecting through out the Thunder Bay district. There is a lot more stuff to see mineralogy in the area. Magnet mines, gold, copper , silver deposits
Look at a map of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia. To me it looks like a massive amount of water came rushing out of the St. Lawrence River, then was blocked by the mountain range that is the north end of the Appalachians. The water swirled around forcing its way into the Bay of Funday as well as the St. Lawrence straits and north out of the Strait of Bell Isle. Prince Edward Island and the Magdalen Island are big sand bars left by the swirling waters.
@anulfadventures
You can see the small impact on the eastern end of Lake Ontario from Google Earth.
This impact caused a large water flow, rushing through the St. Lawrence Straits,
which caused the sandbars made by the water's displacement from the Impact.
I'm surprised there was no mention of the Carolina Bays.
At last for me, you've been hugely influential for getting terms like "younger dryess" and catastrophism into the thought and language.
I'm sure the Kardassians are going to be obsessed with it and it's going to be all over social media.
Love carlsons videos and work. One thing that was mentioned at the end of the video and was hard for me to wrapy head around is the impact effect on the surface underneath what was estimated no more than a mile of ice. I think he brings pretty solid evidence but i would love to see more reasearch on the results of impacts to the ice sheet perhaps if reenactments of impact scenarios on a small scale could at least give us an understanding how ice responds to imapct
I live in Canada and when we were kids we were taught nothing about the ice age and floods. These events need to be taught and become common knowledge. We're a long way from that.
How great has Google Earth and (especially) the topographical maps been in helping to advance research into this theory? I have been watching your videos for a while now and you have developed an expert ability to recognize these features, which become undeniable (imo) when looking at the topographical features.
Wow! Lake Nipigon is right smack dab in the center of a large impact basin which in itself looks larger (at least to me it does) in diameter than most impact basins on the moon.
thank you
my suggestion for looking for evidence of an impact is micro metallic spherules that might occur in heavy mineral sands along the meltwater channels. Take some screens and pans to make concentrates to further analyze when back home.
Intéressant, merci du partage! Stéph.
Wow, must be striking a nerve. The trolls are out in force. I have followed Randall for many years and have not seen this level of troll activity.

Thank You Randall Carlson!
Randall you had a huge role in these conversations taking place. It surely connected dots for me. We disagree on some things but for that I am grateful to you. Man that was crazy! I gotta watch again. I'm with my classmate the geology maj. thinking of an asteroid hitting the ice sheet. That's effing bAnAnAs! 🍌🤔💥
Awesome info Mr Carlson. Its hard to understand how this info isn't more 'main stream'. Though since i started to look into this myself by reading and watching the main stream stuff. Some of those people are changing there minds a little anyway. Hopefully Brian Atwood will offer an interesting conclusion.
You should look at southern Maine as it has very similar land structures. There is a large bowl shaped lake ‘Sebago’. there are vast areas of boulders and cliffs that were cut into the hills and mountains. I expect it was the result of the same event. I suspect that the area of devastation was significantly larger than that you are proposing here.
There are large areas of sand layers easily over 30 feet thick. Most of this is covered in Forrest obscuring the area. Many very large rounded boulders the size of a small home spread about the area.
You should look over a much larger area. I suspect the Hudson Bay was the primary impact with the others as secondary. I have suspected this since I was quite young seeing raised topographic maps covering the area of middle Canada.

Saving up for flights and tickets bro🎉
Such a phase change of so much water would also result in diluvio rainfall across the world as the atmosphere would be overwhelmed with water vapor. Between that and the spontaneous ocean level rise I can only imagine the horrible biblical times the ancestors would have experienced. Literally, they would have experienced a collective consciousness moment that would have been transferred orally for centuries by priests.
This makes sense.
black sturgeon lake and river are amazing. the lake is ice cold even in the middle of summer because it's so deep. there is quite the elevation change in the river and they used to send logs down it (logging industry) which gave the river the most perfect series of rapids for whitewater kayaking because all of the rocks have been pushed out of them.
sensational stuff
Fascinating! One would have to take into account the timing and conditions at the time of the impacts.
What was the season when this rock arrived? Approximately how fast would it have been traveling upon impact?
Would there have been a major difference of impact in winter vs summer 12,000 years ago?
If in winter time, would a massive winter snow storm have any barring on the meteors ? Colder denser air slowing down the rock, cooling it prior to its impact...?
Once on impact hitting a mile high block sheet of ice, the ice water instantly melting, evaporating creating massive rain and snow falls for an extended period, a few months? over a few years? Most impressive and most logical discussion on these subjects I have ever enjoyed. Thank You Sir !
how would spring versus autumn effect thousands of Tunguska level explosions?
The simple answer from my relatively basic understanding of physics is no. Explosions and impacts would not be affected during this astral invasion.
I was at this presentation!
I can just imagine, a giant meteor shower impacting over the horizon of the 2 mile tall glacier in the northern horizon. The sky lights up as smaller impacts both lead and follow the larger meteors, then it all goes dark again. All of a sudden there is this sound, this rushing white noise like static that just gets louder, and louder, and then the ground starts to vibrate and a massive wall of water approaches upwards of 500 feet tall.
It's crazy to know that nature and the cosmos are capable of such utterly destructive power.
I imagine the "cold snap" came from the nuclear winter after the impacts. Who knows how many showers there were, but there was obviously 2 major ones that caused 2 extinction events.
I can drive to nipigon in an hour. Tell me what photos you need!
Push Push push
I wonder how you could survey for asteroid fragments
Yes I work just north of nipigon , I work in forestry but have a geology degree
Amazing!
Hudson Bay is where the ice age landed 🌠💥🌊
I can prove it😮
there is a suggestion that a nearby supernova affected the sun which had a super huge Carrington event, which caused the melting the of the ice sheets some 12,000 year ago.
I'm by Lake Erie in Ontario, there's rocks and stones that have world maps on them, they're compasses, ancient ones, load stone magnetic stones, the moon is the same image so when it wasnt out you could use a stone. I film these on my channel
Will check out your channel, thanks. I've found a lot of stuff also. Do you know of the late Dr Barry Fell?
I have a small stone I found that is K2. I have maybe 200-250 lbs I haven't even looked at yet. I may have one of Mount Kailash, maybe many more. It's so much stuff I found so quickly I burned out and people think I'm nuts because they lack an education.
This is in WV, where the King of England told people to leave the natives alone.
There are megaliths here, seem to be manufactured. It defies Flint Dibble.
Riding down the highway in southwestern Pa looks like we purposely built our entire civilization exactly where the water came through. But I’m nobody lol
Being from the PNW, if the floods happened again not even our dumps would remain. The entire civilization is built in "reclamation lands" according to the department of the interior. Has a lot to do with how they decided the navy could build dykes and form navy bases within the interior so long as it was the equivalent of a "stranded ship", even if it is the size of a base they call it a deck.
@@who-nobody-never luckily the ice caps are gone, probably why it’s says god won’t flood the earth again. I think we should reconsider what Nostradamus was really talking about…
@@TheeMaddScienctist Right now it looks like South America is on fire every where according to satelite images.
@@aaronstandingbear because 90% of everybody for the last few centuries thinks god got a plan so we’ve abandoned our responsibilities at least we have cell phones
At 20.09, the red topographical map shows how much high ground was blasted away by the impact. You can see the high ground to the right and left. Obviously this high ground would have been homogenous across the map... It is a really big impact. As Carlson says, there were probably many of these impacts across the northern hemisphere, wiping out all the big animals...
There is a meteor impact site just off the coast of Lake Superior over at Terrace Bay -- the Slate Islands. What are your thoughts on that?
i was just casually listening and heard big stone county. i live 20 mins from there. my uncle used to work at the cory there i remember getting bags of dirt and rock and we would find shark teeth fossils
