The 6 Strangest Places on Earth | SciShow Compilation

The fact that 15 of the species discovered in the movile cave were already known is I think a far more interesting statistic

That toxic lake. It is always good to know more about the birthplace of my mother-in-law.

The Movile cave sounds really fascinating being such an isolated ecosystem for millions of years. From the perspective of all the critters in there, that cave is the entire world and always has been. Its kind of like if aliens found us some day and discovered that our earth and the life on it had broken off of their planet billions of years ago lmao

"600 hundred colorless compounds and how to draw them" why have I not seen a comment calling out how top tier this joke is

Could you imagine being one of those miners to break through into the crystal cave, and for the first time ever, see huge 12 metre long crystals

Honestly the cause of the crooked forest is probably to give Home Depot a ready supply of hardwood for their lumber section.

You helped me so much in my time of suffering. I was in prison and got kicked out of the puppy program bc guys are worse then women by no fault of my own the whole time in the clink I never got a ticket or disciplinary action. When we got tablets (I know tablets in prison?? WTF?? But it's a babysitting tool like a lot of parents do send them off to the tv or tablet game system ext. Long story short your few min videos helped me more to stay outta trouble and escaped even if only a few mins I leaned a whole lot and by you making these videos you made my day a lil brighter Thank you for all you have done I appreciate you tremendously and respect you more David Rodriguez (EZ) why because you can't spell Rodriguez without easy LMBO

I’m Mauritanian, glad to have people learn about my homeland’s geological marvels

UPDATE 2019 the cave in naica flooded again so the selenite is growing once more

Interesting they say that heavy things resting on trees make them grow bent. I've always been impressed at the way trees in fence lines or walls actually grow around the obstructions without pushing them out of the way. I've seen bikes and even an iron bedstead perfectly incorporated into a tree, and only raised up with it, rather than pushed aside. On an even more sensitive and delicate scale, you can even find mushrooms with grass leaves incorporated in their caps, that have neatly grown around the leaves without even pushing them aside. I've always been impressed at how sensitive the growing trees and fungi must be to keep growing without disturbing the things around them.

Given that my chances of visiting Antarctica remain rather slim, I shall just have to content myself with experiencing Blood Falls vicariously. i.e. by eating roofing nails.

“Nard rockingly amazing” is my favorite beastie boys song. I love young Hank’s word choices. So vibrant. So descriptive.

3 new species of spiders discovered in an isolated cave me: STOP DIGGING UP NEW SPIDERS

This documentary has offered some great names for my new grindcore band. Blood Falls, Acid Lake, Breathing Iron and Dissolved Metal!!

I love that he casually throws in a reference to Grendel's mom. Lol. Old English lit should totally be referenced in more YouTube videos.

Right, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it the case that every type of drowning involves "drowning in your own lungs?"

I wish there were more visuals! The explanations are fascinating, but I would have liked them as voiceovers, so we could see more of these places.

In the mountains here in Wyoming, there are many trees with the same contorted shapes. They are formed by being bent down by heavy snow, then the trunk remains bent, but the top starts to grow back toward the sky the next summer.

The second batch of crooked trees that all faced the same direction...the first thing that comes to mind is an explosion leveling them all. It would produce a 90 degree bend and those trees--much smaller back then---would straighten up and continue growing after that. Younger stems are much more resilient to extreme trauma whereas an older grove would be left with a thin strip of live bark connecting the two halves.

Absolutely lovr to learn about weird places in order not to go there so that they can proceed to be weird. Wr have a habit of ruining stuff and I don't wanna know what wreckage we'll do with that cave that was sealed away and now no longer is.
