    So good…so good. Such a good story teller. It’s a bummer these episodes are not longer. Prof Nick and crew, can we make these longer?

      It'd be wonderful, but as it is it took Nick and Brady six months to put together the latest _NOTR_ series. Add that to his teaching and UA-cam channel and responsibility to the school, and now working to help LIz get better, there just ain't enough hours in a day.

    Thankful for Nick spending time to bring all these stories and ideas to people in a way that is accessible and interesting.
    Wish there were more people in all the various sciences that had such a good rapport with the audience, and a accessible style that simplifies topics in the way Nick can, while not pandering .

    Thanks Nick. So many minerals up in that area. Literally hundreds of old mines and prospects Around Index.

    Nick is one of those few educators that truly get his rocksoff educating the people on one the most important subjects known to man .... History ... Of the Earth 🌎 ! ! !

    As someone who has lived in the shadow of Mounts Index and Persis for 48 years this was really interesting. Thanks, so much, for being the educator that you are.

    What an amazing team, Gary Paull who knows the backcountry of Washington like the back of his hand, Nick Zentner whose storytelling captivates & educates us, and Brady Lawrence's World-class direction brings it all together for us to be amazed and entertained. Thank you all.

    Lake Serene and Lake 22 were some of my favorite North Cascade hikes when I lived in the area. It really checks all the boxes. A challenging but not back-breaking climb, a beautiful alpine lake and well placed summit backdrop, along with a bit of glacier. I always came down to the car fully satisfied with the meal.

    I still cannot comprehend the "uplift" of all in the Cascades?

    • @Steviepinhead
      @Steviepinhead 21 годину тому +5

      At least in part, some of the uplift is due to the injection of all that hot rock, much of which is lighter and more felsic. Continental crust is lighter than the mantle and "floats" on top of it, kind of like an iceberg floating -- partly submerged but partly exposed -- in the surrounding ocean. If an iceberg is bigger, more will be below the waterline, but more also sticks above. With every pluton and volcano added to the Cascades, they rise a little higher...!

    You guys need a blue UN disclaimer box for your youtube videos! They are that important (of a secret to keep?) Thanks again Nick, I am back in my pupil seat paying close attention.

    Snohomish county has two lake Serene's. One near everett. Back in day, the one near index was referred to as serene lake.

    Cool video. Idk much about cascades geology, but i do know about tree types in that part of the Cascades. I've been in the area before with my hiking club once from Oregon. Wesern hemlock is one of the most common trees, along with western reccedar and douglas fir at lower elevations. Mid elevation forest in this part of the cascades is usually western hemlock, pacific silver fir and some yellow cedar, all three are tree species highly tolerant of shade. At elevations above 4,000 ft. mountain hemlock, yellow cedar and subalpine fir are the dominant species.

    I had a " Nic of the Rocks " at " Nick's On The Rocks Cafe & Rock-a-torium Museum ... It's pretty much like a Long island ice tea except they put hot rocks in this marble stone cup, warms you right up and you can't see straight for an hour.

    I loved this episode, though I wish the drone shot panoramas were slower and perhaps labeled to identify them. Google earth studios would be helpful to orient the viewer and give some perspective to the region. I think this video could’ve been at least 20 minutes longer, and still not told the story. I understand you’re limited on time but the production quality that you have achieved here is gold. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Are these formations similar to the Castle Crags in Northern California?

    It would help if you had explained the odd term index granite. I wasted time puzzling over what it's an index to. I guess it's just the name of the formation.

    Less scenery, more geology! After all this isn't Ned on the flower bed.
