But what about the huge flocks of sheep on the summit? Didn’t that contribute to the collapse? In New Zealand, nothing happens without sheep!

Ah the Gap of Rohan 😂

They calculate there's a 75% chance of the fault rupturing with a 7+ by 2068, and an 82% chance of that that'll be an 8+. That's an almost 2/3 chance of an 8+ hitting by 2068. This will likely be the largest earthquake in recorded history. Much of NZ will be destroyed. Hope I'm out of here before that happens.

Thanks for this. Is the predicted possible earthquake on the fault like to create a tsunami?

Oliver is a dc3

Need to do one about Mt Ruapehu

Do we know the magnitude of this earthquake?

To validate the concept of "a little knowledge can be dangerous", I've read that the KT boundary is usually marked by a layer of iridium. Was there evidence here even though it was deep under the ocean?

Hiking mountain trails is a challenge that tests your endurance. However, the reward for overcoming these difficulties is unmatched :)

The WAIS was completely removed during MIS 5e and MIS 11c (interglacials) and substantially reduced during MIS 7a, c, and MIS 9e, but it's supposed to remain solidly frozen during this interglacial? Sounds like somebody has either been hitting the sauce or talking to Greta a bit too much. As for climate cycles that have regulated the "ice ages" (I assume you mean glacial periods) occurring in step with carbon dioxide levels, we can look at this two ways: either the Earth is supposed to be cold and something outgasses carbon dioxide at regular periodicity, and I know of no such mechanism that does that, OR, the Earth is supposed to be warm but something causes carbon dioxide levels to decrease at regular intervals. I do know of two mechanisms that do that. One, the Earth gets cold FIRST and cold sea water absorbs more carbon dioxide, or two, giant carbon dioxide breathing space monkeys arrive, breathe in all the CO2 and then leave without a trace. I personally think the oceans getting cold FIRST and then absorbing CO2 is the better option. This goes along with ice cores showing that changes in temperature PRECEDE changes in CO2 levels by as much as 800 years. It would also explain why Florida exists.

I was super impressed by your multi-talented filming. Thanks for this awesome tidbit

Glay--seer. Correct pronunciation

A reminder of nature's vast power. We should treat nature with respect.

Well, this adds a little spice to the crazies' smorgasbord of risk....

Need footage 24/7 365 to catch the next one. Plus time-lapse of stream carving new gully!

2:34 10cm per 1000 years How long 2m mudstone? 20.000years? Really? Maybe 200.000?

I remember in 79 Cook lost a similar amount off its peak possibly a bit more well reported by the Star and NZ Herald.

Another great upload, thanks OTL

No video of the collapse mneans this is not a video, it's a magazine article with pictures.

Mount Cook and the whole southern alps are evidence for a global flood, being made of sedimentary rock with fossils embedded. At the end of the global flood the land was pushed up, and the ocean floors sank. The east side of the South Island is a huge flood plain, which was the result of the water draining eastwards off the rising land.

I remember when it happen,😢

Only shilly shausagers would climb thish !

We see that certain baleen species do eat other, small schooling fish. Some of the species that do this are also recorded as taking krill. It is heartening to see that even blue whales are not at all limited to antarctic krill populations. (I was shocked to observe the Japanese and other krill harvesting. For health oil, which ACTUALLY comes from phytoplankton. krill, salmon and other "omega 3" are from phytoplankton. I only eat relatively local foods, not even having kelp when it and other seaweed is not taken in local region.) NO ONE needs to eat things from antarctic. Even the arctic eskimos have only taken whales, as did the basques in the north atlantic for just over maybe 15 human lifespans. The pacific wokden boat tribes have been at it longer, but do NOT need their tradition. Let brainworms eat your brain if you believe it ethical to eat animals whose brains dwarf yours. Humans are the most populous large animal ( over about 44 pounds, to hav ever existed. Buy so.e contraceptives and abortifaci,ents, please. 4 times+ the human population of 100 years ago, and crowding out & making hate-hell of everywhere. Harpoon a Trump.

Beautiful!

used to hunt deer professionally inland from Kekerengu just before the quake... that destroyed the farm house i stayed i whe a fault opened up underneath it.

That we know of! Not the greatest period

Found a coal branch in one of those cliffs, haven't found one since

You can see how Hilary cut his teeth before venturing over to Everest..In fact, Mt Cook's summit looks far less forgiving than that of Everest..

We are very much impressed indeed. Thank you

thanks for showing us, very interesting indeed

3:00 "What I'm going to do now is …" was sure for a moment that he was going to say "jump up and down and see if we can get it to move again"

So good! Thank you Bruce!

I studied the KT boundary in Italy during my geology undergrad with one of the professors that worked on the original asteroid theory with Walter Alvarez. We hoped across the Adriatic to Croatia and spent a bit of time looking at what he preliminaries thought may be tsunamiite on the KT boundary. Not sure what ever came of that but potentially some in Croatia too!

Millions of years of erosion, eh!

Great walk. Thanks for the insights into the geology. We went many many years ago with a school party. So clear that we could see Taranaki in the distance. The Devil's Staircase was a challenge, as was the descent - not helped by dicky knees.

I'm wondering if there are traces of some more previously earthquakes and land movements...

Wow, that was truely fascinating. I will never walk my local Auckland beach again without stopping to admire and contemplate the cliff formations. Wish you were my 3rd form teacher back in the 90's!

So, you're saying i can't just rock up to the summit in shorts, singlet and jandals then?

Known as "Cookie Mountain" to those in the know.

U wasn’t wrong the hole south side of Antarctica is collapsing sink holes bigger than uk I have been observing them

Thank you it’s leaning about the Chatham island very informative

How does that bode for property ownership?

climb a dangerously crumbling peak with 1000s of feet sheer drop? the mind boggles.

WRONG SOLIDIFIED SILICONISED LIVING TREE.

I'm IMPRESSED
