Odd. I live in one of those craters. Us locals call it Round Valley. Maps call it Springerville. It's on the eastern border with New Mexico, about center of the state line on a paper map. Follow highway 60 to the state border to find it. We have ruins, Casa Malapais, lava tubes, and all kinds of weird stories about earthquakes from the local Apache and Navajo tribes. No eruptions that I'm aware of, but this whole area--all the way west to the city of Show Low (around 50 miles)--is VERY definitely a volcano. A big one.

As someone from Brazil, Home of the Amazon, this is true beauty! Fantastic Video!

I got to this video after playing "Firewatch" on Mac last night. Very cool to see what it looks like in real life.

wow , just wow

This video is absolutely chaulked full of assumptive nonsense. SMH

Wrong! The Holy Bible tells the accurate history of Earth and humanity. Follow Jesus Christ Stay Dangerous

I love navigating the forests here in WNC and I have since I was a kid. I went on unsupervised hikes around the Gerton/Bat Cave area all the time for years, day and night. More like runs really, as I was basically sprinting barefoot through the woods with no trails. I'd try to reach new peaks just for fun. It is something that now feels purely instinctive. You learn to pay attention to each tree, the changes in vegetation, the specific kinds of rocks or a patch of vines hanging a certain way. One spot might have a distinct patch of ferns with a clearing in the middle, maybe a downed tree with an interesting knot on on side. Give your senses over to studying the minutia of these landmarks and have confidence in your ability to find them again. I can still remember specific spots and the foliage around them 30 years later. Every inch of these forests has a very distinct character, and if you learn to read the nuances of that character they will always tell you were you are and they will always get you home.

Billion...schmillion! Noah's flood formed the earth. Read it.

Trespassing! Should be prosecuted and made an example!

I live in the New River area, I have been in the spots,then the loggers come in and it's gone for a hundred years 😢

So tired of this area being villainized over inexperienced idiots. A southern accent does not automatically = uneducated bigot.

I'd like to add some kind of sfx to accompany this- any idea what kind of sfx I should start searching for?

Sensational work, man. Unreal that you do this all on your own. The best I’ve seen of this genre, or really it is its own genre of content because this is no mere explainer.

Wonderful

This is not the last fire lookout. There’s just so few of them but the job isn’t extinct just yet

It looks like heaven on earth 😮

I am.

I absolutely love the transition at 0:50, great cinematography!

If you manage to get to Glen Roy near Fort William, you can see the Parallel Roads.....lines carved out by Glaciers movements, over centuries of melting etc. :) P.S. Don't forget the Picts....the true indigenous ( /ɪnˈdɪdʒɪnəs/ ) people, not Scots....not Celts. ;)

If you were born in Appalachia, and you leave, you will ache inside to return!

What’s the most dangerous living beings on earth? The universe is only 6 to 10,000 years old…

This short doc is way better than it has any business being. Like…WAY better. Pretty sure I hit every button I can to show approval.

13:05 Absolutely gorgeous.

I didn't know about these volcanoes until now. I do live in Ridgecrest,CA, and think it is probably where the pressure is getting released from the San Andreas and MANY other none "major" faults. In the Western USA

Dear Aidin, I sincerely you get/ got some funding for these productions. This is soo good. Kind regards.

That Outro also fits with inner city crime huh - you can't escape it, can see it, can always feel it, exhilarating

The green in this video healed my eyes a bit

My family has done some traveling in these mountains, from Tenessee to New York. Theres something so eerily beautiful about them. I can see how people can find them creepy, though. The forests are dense, vast, and so so still. You can feel how ancient they are.

There is so much ufo activity here in AZ as well and I know for fact it is due to the volcanoes. Without saying too much, there is so much more to these volcanos than most people know. Something biblical. I've been observing and researching for almost 2 years now and the things ive uncovered are purely magical. I live close to Flat top mountain and Escudillia and the things ive observed would blow your minds

Do you colour correct each bit of footage independantly? I'm a novice, so excuse the ignorance, but that seems very time consuming if it is. Or does this just become second nature over time?

I feel it important to to call her by her original name: Tahoma.

Hello Aidin! I hope you're doing well. I'll get straight to the point because I don't want to waste your time. My name is Romain, and I'm a French landscape architect passionate about history and geology. I recently stumbled upon your video, and I was captivated by the storytelling, your ability to illustrate your narrative, the editing, and everything else. This evening, I wanted to show your video about Mount St. Helens to my girlfriend. Since she doesn't really understand English, I had to turn on the subtitles for her. That's when I realized that none of your fantastic videos are translated into French. I had to translate live for her, which was tough but also quite funny. ^^ I personally have no problem understanding English, and I know the importance of great wording, the best phrasing for storytelling, and, most importantly, I know French. I even (at my humble level) made a 40-minute film that recreates and tells the story of the landscape of my region in France (Alsace). I think you see where I’m going with this idea. I’d like to offer my services to translate your videos into French, either with subtitles or even in audio, if you’re interested. I’m confident this could significantly enhance the experience for many viewers. You wouldn’t need to worry about the quality of the translation or the passion I’ll put into this service. ^^ I know my last name might seem a bit off-putting, but I really hope you'll contact me so we can discuss this proposal. Even if it’s a “no,” I’d still be glad to have reached out to you. I hope to hear from you soon. Best regards, Romain Horny

"If I fuck up, I did it on purpose " 😮

Appalachia is magical. This is a special place. There is a spirituality here that can seem scary to some, but I'm here to tell you what's in your head and heart can manifest here. Take that as you please.

The problem with Scotland is all the guys walk about wearing skirts....

When i say that i love the "green" this is what i mean 💚💚💚💚💚

Amazing work, wow!

We are slowly commiting suicide as a species and do not care. We don't deserve this earth.

This was very enjoyable to watch and learn this fascinating geological history of the State I was Born in.. (Yuma) I've been staring at the Desert landscape my entire young life, visiting family Cheers from Orange County California 🇺🇸

The photography is amazing!

This photography, the edit, the trees!wow good video ! Well-made

As Gandalf said "keep it secret, keep it safe"

Get real dude. They were called smoky mountains before any factories and smoke.

Fuck a centimeter...we are in America!

You should call this video a history of Not Dangerous its misleading

At 8:36 to 8:39 I can see a black thing moving across the screen, is it your team member rejection on camera lenses? What is it?

Scotland is one of the most underrated places ever

Nicely done, great shots! After spending weeks on HI this year, its sad to realized that how this amazing place is being destroyed by politicians, bribery and in the hopes of getting a few more votes, even if the price of this is massively paid by the locals. Maybe except Kauai.

There is no politics here.. Just nature.. Beautiful and deadly at the same time... Great job, Aidin! Thanks!
