Illgraben 27 05 2024

Number 7, Lot of material this year due to rainy autumn, lot of snow, and rainy spring....

[@stuartlast8156]

Incredible how those big boulders are moved, thanks for sharing this with us 👍

[@pixelpusher220]

this one has enormous ones, bus sized! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnaxlmqtebCDbKs

[@colinhewitt2]

Please keep posting these videos, awesome nature. Thanks.

[@Ingwer4711]

Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich bei diesem schlechten Wetter zum Filmen entschlossen haben. Diesmal gab es eine enorme Menge an Geröll in der Mure. Wie immer, ein faszinierendes Video über einen faszinierenden Vorgang in der Natur.

[@noraleestone2859]

Wow! The power of water is incredible. I'll add my profuse thanks to everyone else's for these fantastic videos of the runoff. :D

[@christianmittasch8972]

A big thank you Pierre,for filming this.👍🔝 Sadly at this day, there was many landslide and mud flood destroying the area of Zermatt. I wish all the best in this hard time. Please stay safe.. 🙏

[@Don.Challenger]

You are videoing through such a distance of rain falling that it appears to be of lower resolution. I believe this is the first time I can recall that the overflowing material has built up to the lip of the concrete spillway.

[@vanguard9067]

Yes, a very concentrated flow, not seeing this before. Always hard to believe those huge boulders moved by water.😊

[@andrewclingan4052]

Many thanks for posting these fascinating videos. It would be incredible to actually see the rocks falling from the mountain sides at their origin.

[@billyyank5807]

Big boulders just tossed down a mountain like nothing. Awesome power from nature.

[@T1M2000]

The energy in those flows is so impressive 😮 thanks for posting!

[@lilasphotosandvideos43]

A great spectacle every year !

[@pixelpusher220]

Thank you so much for posting these, always fascinated by them!

[@garyb6219]

I love these! The rounder the rock, the farther it's rolled.

[@chandarussell]

The power of Mother Nature.

[@genemcavoy4254]

Thank you. Another great video.

[@angry-al]

Cameraman did an outstanding job thanks for letting us see this with you

[@GavCritchley]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@remcovanvliet3018]

I'm no geologist or anything, but with all that rolling gravel, that looks like an awesome spot to try n run a gold pan or two after things calm back down! To my untrained eyes, anyway...

[@sereloho]

I love this videos.This one makes the viewer think about the force of the water or the force of the water with gravel wich is much stronger.Thankyou so much for postin it.

[@_fire.fighter9567]

Ja, die Mutter Erde kann mann nicht beherrschen !!!

[@ReiseFreund]

Wow, amazing. Thank you

[@carloscepeda3372]

Gracias, impresionante....

[@charlesward8196]

Wow, that is a first! I have never seen a drop structure clog up and build a talus cone before. I am sure that with the “proper” volume of water and debris the cone will be flushed right out of there and into the Rhône before too long. Well, that did not take long. As the next wave with more water and smaller fines infiltrated the boulder cone it lubricated the mass enough to reduce the internal friction and to re-initiate the flow.

[@carolynallisee2463]

You know, if it wasn't for the footage showing the rocks being washed over the weir by the water, anyone could be forgiven for thinking they'd been tipped there by people. As it is, its scary to think how much power even a relatively small volume can have...

[@user-ii9ej2iq1s]

I just found your videos and I am fascinated! Thank you! I have added Leuk to my bucket list and although I am old, this gives me motivation to keep up my strength. I want to see the top of the basin and see how the water is carving out the remains of the collapsed mountainside.

[@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470]

I have lot of videos about it and the top ot the bassin is in the video "Illgraben vue d'en haut...." How old are you ?

[@user-ii9ej2iq1s]

@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 - Oh dear. The awful question. I am sixty-six. But I am fit, and take long scrambling hikes every year. Most of the time I do not have access to scrambles as I live at sea level, but so far I can still acclimate. That is how old I am. I am female also, if it means anything. So why?

[@user-ii9ej2iq1s]

​@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470 Wow. I do not do ropes. Still I would like to get a vew of the basin.

[@george_lawson]

…and that is how Mother Nature pours concrete

[@Trigath]

With erosion like that how is there any mountain left. Seems like it would be gone in a few million years.

[@rickrandom6734]

Yes. Thats how it goes. Mountains will disappear with time.

[@robinburk8316]

👍🤩looove the Illgraben videos!

[@jeanmarcguiriato6915]

Instructive vidéo merci.

[@spyrosmichas4349]

Thank you so much Pierre-Emmanuel. Amazing Illgraben, the ground for non-newtonian flow research at a unique scale by WSL.

[@PilotHaudi]

Danke für die eindrücklichen Aufnahmen

[@klotrklotr6822]

Merci à vous...

[@FrancoisTCS]

Curious to see how it was during mid-June in parallel to floods in the area.

[@suzannewolf5062]

J'ai vu pas mal de vidéos sur le "ILLGRABEN" mais cette année le "lahar" doit sûrement être encore plus puissant et plus impressionant (das heißt man ein Murenabgang, glaube ich auf Deutsch) für mich sieht das aus wie ein Lahar. Danke für diese Bilder und Grüße aus dem Elsaß👍 (💚🌍)

[@somerandom5940]

thanks

[@themerlynn]

Is there an off season for the rains and floods, that a public works or whatever can go in and clean out the debris?

[@CarolaSiegel]

Faszinierend, wie die wässrige Variante am Anfang die Steine an der Stufe verliert; und dann kommt die Mure mit ihrer Wucht und nimmt alles quasi mühelos mit.

[@dedesmodelatelier]

Merci pour cette video

[@ensuingyelps79]

When God needs concrete

[@Z0RDR4CK]

Nach den Bilder die ich heute in den Nachrichten aus Graubünden und dem Wallis gesehen habe, bin ich froh, dass es Dir offensichtlich gut geht! Ist das dort eigentlich ein Scheinwerferkegel, oder hatte es am Himmel konstant eine Wolkenlücke, durch die die Sonne die Schlammlawine bestrahlt hat? :) - Wie immer; Danke für die beeindruckenden Aufnahmen!

[@scottwilliamtoombs]

😎🫶🤡🤡🙆‍♂💁‍♂Well, there went the Aztec village. 🤠🤔🤔Again!!?

[@aissaaissa]

👍👍👍

[@MrGothmund]

Poor fish down stream.

[@gleff3345]

Lots of rain in Switserland I saw on the news.

[@RZ-ey9jk]

Wow, da möchte man nicht hineingeraten.

[@mig7287]

Beauty.

[@TalRohan]

Piling up like that is bad, it will literally make the mext lahar a lot stronger at that point, the whole idea of the drops is that they stop the speed dead with a drop that pushes back on itself, so if the lahar can flow over and down that drop ay an angle it will just speed up until the next drop potentially gouging deeper into the flow bed.

[@pvoshefski]

Thank you for the video.

[@aissaaissa]

😊😊

[@robertbate5790]

[@IanCthrwd]

Never estimate the power of concrete…..lots of it.

[@sorareigel2264]

Wie kommt dieser gelbe Fleck zustande?

[@pierre-emmanuelzufferey1470]

Spotlight from an UFO, which came over there to see the spectacel. Or there is a automatic fix camera for studies of debris flow from WSL and when it is night, a light automatically switch on.

[@hansmoser989]

watn dat fürn licht? h.m.

[@dsas1469]

Where do all those rocks get deposited in the end

[@bluebalute]

In a river and the river tumbles them to the sea by which time they are gravel or silt.

[@dsas1469]

@@bluebalute if you’re not BSing me, thanks

[@bluebalute]

@@dsas1469 It's as true as I know. There are rivers that deposit rock in the sea but for the most part it's why you have sandy beaches. The fine silt gets carried further out.

[@tomsonrk]

wird zeit das jemand die Zementfabrik am Oberlauf verklagt. Die haben ihren Mörtel im Fluss entsorgt 😄

[@Neilhuny]

I hope Google Translate has done a good job >>>> Toutes vos vidéos sont fascinantes, mais celle-ci, avec l'accumulation initiale de rochers au début suivie d'un très gros flux, était encore plus fascinante !

[@bernardtreyvaud9587]

A very well known spot nothing new!
