Ice Age Impact at Nipigon Proposed - Ground Zero Analyzed with Randall Carlson

[@susanOkie60]

[@charlesbaker5281]

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.

[@fairhall001]

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.

[@Hollyweeds]

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.

[@TheCrusades1099]

I am at the exact other side on the shores of Lake Agassiz West of Roseisle Manitoba.

[@samyoungblood3740]

Wonder if there are any minerals an metals often found near impact areas. Haiti is full of Iridium from an impact in the Gulf

[@jimharrison3079]

I actually believe Hudsons Bay is a meteor impact crater. Too obvious for anything else.

[@swirvinbirds1971]

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.

[@given0fox968]

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.

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.

[@sanguinephoenix4946]

[@stevep7713]

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

[@neilk.9041]

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.

[@jdcjr50]

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.

[@katreid4205]

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.

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.

[@ericlewis3681]

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.

[@jvin248]

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".

[@jeffreyhayes1489]

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.

[@numnumsbirdie]

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.

[@ddelski1]

[@simpleiowan3123]

"A small part to play..." said one of only two men on the planet responsible for popularizing the YDIH? You're too humble by half RC 😎

[@hermes_logios]

Most of the impacts are in the northern hemisphere because the Earth is traveling around the galaxy (northward) about 8 times faster than it travels (laterally) around the Sun. For an impact to strike the Southern hemisphere, it would need to be traveling faster than the galaxy is rotating, which is rare.

[@caseybell8861]

Wow thats interesting

[@oldtimer7979]

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.

[@Nervii_Champion]

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.

[@Wicknews8100]

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

[@who-nobody-never]

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.

Yes, but we're talking about the impact at 12900 years ago; the Carolina bays are usually taken as part of the 11600 impact. Obviously, some of the CBs could come from 12900, but nobody discusses these.

The energy required to melt Antarctica ice cap is 8.19168×10^24 joules, and that is assuming that all of the ice is already 0C. The Chicxulub asteroid released is 1.15 × 10^23 joules, about 1/100th

You know how you found the ripples in the Badlands. Have you ever poured water out of a bucket on a hard pack ground. It leaves shapes exactly like the great lakes are shaped. Showing that where the lakes all meet was the drainage point for that part of the ice sheet. Which means there should be an impactor point or debris within a couple hundred miles north of it.

[@mojomike3913]

I think it would be very interesting to put all the actual information we have or best estimates of into a computer simulation and then hit it with various size impactors and just see what comes out the other end of that process. Would we possibly see land forms and features that match what is on the ground? Would we see enough generation of melt water to account for the features we see on the earth now? The extrapolate that into the fresh water surge into the oceans and see what effect it has on the currents. That could then be carried into climate modelling to see if we could reproduce Younger-Drias conditions.

If the flood carved/dug/scraped down through the earth wouldn't you just dig and take samples for carbon dating in the lowest point of one of the floodsites and then dig until you reach the same "layer" at a nearby location not afflicted by flooding and compare the two depthwise to better figure out when it took place?

It’s unfortunate that the bassoon riff was cut short. It’s also unfortunate that climate change is linked to the idea of humans ending the megafauna.

Also the Sixth Mass extinction.

I makes sense that melt water would be on top of the glacier since its exposed to the sun and elements, but were the glacier solid enough to contain the liquids?

Bros on windows 7 😂 MAD respect.

[@zzzzBadBoyzzzz]

Dependant on the type of astroid or comet, an impact into 1-2 mile thick ice sheet, IMO an explosion on ice, would essentially take on the characteristics of an air burst, or this case a ice burst which would leave little evidence of cosmic materials within the ice burst area, but rather most of any cosmic materials would have exploded outwards, and upwards back up into the atmosphere along with ice, and other earthy materials... landing who knows where? Pluse that whole ice sheet area over the earth would have spred the force of that impact outwards aswell, that whole area could have acted like an ice sheet over a gigantic trampoline, hurling even more materials upwards, after the initial explosion. Add to that ice burst impact area: catastrophic floods, and 12k years of erosion. What type of cosmic materials could you find today?

[@michaelstiller2282]

I would imagine an ice sheet impact would involve a lot of steam with no place to go. The initial fraction of seconds would create compressed steam which would act like a reverberating water hammer. Sending shockwaves through the bed rock. Any cracks would be pathways. Literally turning the bed rock into a pressure cooker.

[@zzzzBadBoyzzzz]

@michaelstiller2282 the amount of actual cosmetic material penetration into the earth, if any. Would greatly depend on it's mass and composition.

[@scubasteve830]

i have a thought. Make a line of where this impact is, the one is washington, and the one in iceland or green land and you will probally find an almost straight line, i would think that a meteor or comet passed one of the other plants and broke apart and changed the direction of travel causing a series of impacts like the ones that hit saturn except across the earth. Sorry I dont have the knowledge to be able to look into that further and be able to produce a paper. Like i said, just a thought.

[@samsquach3799]

The Hudson Bay crater is much larger.

[@Alarix246]

In following this story from many angles and youtubers, I often get confused the start of the Younger Dryas (12900 years ago) with the end of the Younger Dryas (11600 years ago). So the lake Nipigon seems to had been related to 12900 impact, while the Saginaw bay and Michigan lake are possibly related to 11600 impact. If I'm not mistaken, the ever confusing result is my question, why and how had these impacts happened twice to basically the same place? I understand that a comet on impact course with Earth hits where it hits, and its remnants, which are on the same path remain on its merry way. Now when its similar sized parts come around the Earth 1300 years later, they impact the Earth again from the same angle. That males sense so far. But this case presumes that the Earth had to be turned/positioned towards the comet not only in the same angle, which means not only the same season of the year, but also the very same hour of the day! Does anyone have a logical explanation of such possibility? At the same time, this might even imply that some more parts of the same comet might had come 1300 years prior to the YD, and also 1300 years after it, on the same day, albeit with less destructive result. However such evidence would be brilliant as one of the complementary events and proofs of the hypothesis. Are we sure there was no small impact at 10300 years ago?

Randall What is your opinion on Zhangjiajie National Forest

[@ryanoneill291]

Randall, Brad, if the YDIH is true, and I believe it to be, and we take what Graham Hancock says that "fragments of a disintegrating comet" entered the atmosphere over North America, then it stands to reason that perhaps we're not only looking for one crater, we could be looking for a string of craters much like Shoemaker Levy-9 sprayed rocks across a swath of Jupiter. The crater at Nipigon described in this talk may not account for the collapse of the entire ice sheet all at once but several strikes would surely do it. I believe Lac Saint.Jean in Quebec is another impact from the same comet, as is lake of the woods on the Manitoba/Ontario border. These craters may not all be from the YD time period but if it is a recurring stream that Earth passes through annually then the crater path would be consistent over time. I marked on this map certain features that I think could be a part of this comet stream. I'd love to know your thoughts on it, some are pretty compelling I think. I also took a stab at the Tunguska impact site and found similar crater like features along a different path as well. Love your work man, keep it coming, eyes are opening!! :) www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1euVxz8ThRe5MMHP1FGAUEq_cB8yO467u&usp=sharing

[@ryanoneill291]

Oh and strangely enough if the path is extended around the Earth it crosses directly over the Richat Structure as well as other features in Africa and ends in Melbourne Australia before crossing the Pacific back to the West Coast of NA. It creates an equatorial line around the planet.

[@Alarix246]

Hmmm, spot on, and my opinion os that all these impacts were made of ice strewn with gravel. The amount of water contained therein might explain the missing water in the calculation of rise of the oceanic levels. I also said in another comment somewhere above this: "In following this story from many angles and youtubers, I often get confused the start of the Younger Dryas (12900 years ago) with the end of the Younger Dryas (11600 years ago).

However such evidence would be brilliant as one of the complementary events and proofs of the hypothesis. Are we sure there was no small impact at 10300 years ago?" So, your comment explains my question: how come the Great lakes region had been impacted in the same hour exactly 1300 years later? Because, according to you, the comet was raining down over the entire day! Worth noticing that your suggested target plane (through Richat) includes directly the Azores/Atlantis! All we need is to validate the impact dates for all these craters.

60impact sites have been Identified on the Nth American Continent .. Impacts were not responsible for The Nth Hemisphere Rapid Ice melt, sheepi can't think for themselves, an accept Randal's impact theory as gospel.. It's misinformation.. 60IMPACT SITES IDENTIFIED ... over how many millions of yrs ... You see where this is going..

Did the Great Lakes exist before the asteroid impacts?

[@Valkyrie_71]

Depends when you mean.. they were forming as the laurentide ice sheet was depressing the land and they were filling as the ice was melting and retreating. But we don't know when or where exactly any impacts happened, if at all. They may have been many airbursts which wouldn't leave an impact crater. We would have to geoscan the entire country with sattelite gpr left to right, top to bottom, to find any depressions that could be impact sites, and Canada is a huge country. So $$$$. Now before the ice sheets were formed, the land in the great lakes region was just a bunch of shallow depressions except for an archaic version of lake Superior. It formed aeons earlier as a rift valley lake in the CNA rift system.
