Not confused at all ( 1:13 ;) ). Just drove over the ancient lake bed home from Grand Beach to Winnipeg. Around Grand there are numerous elevations and hills caused by it.

Right...so Breezy Point is not a city. It is a town.

My Grandmother was from Grafton N Dakota. I used to tease about how Boring Grafton sounded. But the Red River is anything but Boring.

Plenty of Science Jokes and Puns. Science Comedy? You might be on to something. Just kidding

Too bad the sound track is so erratic.

Live in ft Mcmurray along the Clearwater River amazing to realize it was only a few thousand years ago this river did not exist at all. Only eastern flowing river in Alberta dug out by Lake Aggasi

If you fly into Winnipeg at the right time of year, when the crops are off and the ground is worked, iceberg scars are visible everywhere from when the bergs floated around the lake. They all run roughly NW-SE and are coloured just slightly different than the surrounding soil.

i just found your channel and i love it so much!! you should look into Pitt Lake, it’s a beautiful tidal lake in BC, Canada. it has about a 3 foot tidal range and lots of interesting history 🏔❤

I cannot believe how good this documentry is. Thank you so much and best of wishes from İstanbul, the cat capital city😊 of Turkey. I live by the Black Sea by the way😊

Dry interesting

Great presentation. Thanks for the excellent content. Greetings from Brazil.

On the east coast there's a Red River of the North, as well lol. It flows down from the Laurantide Mt region north of Montreal QC, and into the into the Ottawa river, Which empties shortly into the St. Lawrence... Interesting fact, you would be able to canoe down from the Eastern Red River of the North, and up the Ottawa River and into a vast network of rivers that stretches all the way through the Great Lakes, and up the Winnipeg River and into Lake Winnipeg, where you could travel up the Red River of the North. Actually this is why you'll find French communities all along this path, as it became known as a major path of the Voyageur, who traded furs acquired from the multitude of Beavers through Ontario, on this path.

I have meet many people from Texas who claim the the Red River valley song came from Texas.. They are wrong. www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/mb_history/72/redrivervalley.shtml

Our cottage is in the whiteshell at big whiteshell lake. There's massive fluvial deposits to the east of big whiteshell. I have studied the area extensively and it would appear that area was once an eastern drainage point. Across the Ontario border from that area is heavily scarred with deep erosion valleys into the bedrock. I think the fluvial deposit east of big whiteshell was left behind as the water could not wash it uphill as it ran easterly. There's also a theory that 2 major lobes of the ice sheet met in the area and left behind a lot more erratics than other areas

Grew up a few miles from the Red River in MN, maybe 10 miles from Canada. Interesting hydrology in the area. There are no water wells, people in the past either collected rain water in cisterns, or hauled treated river water from treatment plants in town to fill the same cisterns. If there is any near surface ground water available in shallow wells it is NOT usable, it’s basically muck & agricultural runoff. Early efforts to drill very deep industrial size wells near the Red River to get to good water resulted in disaster. When they finally hit water (depth unknown) it was SALT water & under enough pressure that it flowed out of the well naturally and had to be plugged. One such well location I know of, was and still is, a dead zone of a few acres where nothing will grow because of the salt damage. In the 60s the ground at the site was noticeably white & crusty. People new to the area sometimes didn’t believe you couldn’t drill a normal water well. There are zero well drillers in the area. Some spent a lot of money bringing in drillers from out of the area and ended up with expensive dry holes in the ground. Can you explain where that salt water comes from? Pre Cambrian basement rock maybe? Elevation is no more than 800 feet so it’s possible someone drilled to sea level. Kittson County now has a rural water delivery system, installed in the 70s-80s, to pipe natural ground water to every farm and rural home. This excellent water comes from near ground level 20+ miles east of the Red River, an area that at one time was a beach ridge of presumably a receding Lake Agassiz. Water flows by gravity a couple hundred feet downhill to every home in the county, no pressurization required.

It would be nice if you found a logical drawing of early hunter gatherers hunting a mammoth (or mastodon) in a climate where even “elephants” needed lots of hair covering their bodies. Not naked or near naked hunters.

This is fascinating and the sheer amounts of water are hard to imagine. I found your video after watching a video about the biggest disaster in British history and they said that Lake Agassiz drained into the sea, raised the sea level because it was so much water, and half destroyed Doggerland, before it was drowned later by a giant flood due to a continental plate shift and a 300 km wide Norwegian land mass breaking off. The poor people back then though, nature can be terrifying.

Ag uh see ( silver made the lake red ) back then it was called the Red Sea. Must be Gods country. Since the Old Testament is describing everything here .. I’m mind blown from researching this Hebrew translations did Isaac bury his wife here somewhere in a cave. Land of canninites.. I have a long way to go but I got Jericho Egypt 30000 years of bible scripture is from here not there

It's an interesting story about Lake Agassiz. But what if your calculations are wrong, and the amount of surface water on top of the Glacial Ice Sheet doubled the supply potential of waters directed at Lake Mazula. I think we are grossly miscalculating run-off. I keep seeing this story about 4 major water releases which translated into huge Ocean Level Sea Rise. To get that amount of global water rise in the oceans needs a lot more water than Lake Agazzi.

I grew up in NW Minnesota. That soil can grow anything.

All I can say is thank you.

I would not consider the Swiss canton of Graubünden to be »near Basel«, since it's the other end of Switzerland. And the Rhine ends in the North Sea, not the Black Sea (that's the nearby starting Danube river).

Water!

Good video. Subscribed.

Just when I pick "of the North" as my drinking phrase, you leave me dry!

Thanks a lot for interesting video! Can you tell some company to get job on the Dunabe?

The Alps do not divide the Danube and the Rhine. That is utter rubbish. Why trying to explain something in such a wrong Way?

Excellent information! It's clear and concise.

Don't tell lies man, the Alps aren't between the Rhine and Danube, Th Main Daonau canal runs north of the alps from Bamberg to Kelheim. Bamberg is approx 250km north of the Alps, Even Kelheim is 130km north of the Alps!

What is special about Wahalla that you bring it up?

The remnants of Agassiz can be seen all over Manitoba, from sand dunes to DEEP valleys and glacial tills. If you go to Lake Winnipeg or Manitoba they can have a spiritual or mystical vibe to them - the last remnants of the largest lake in North American history.

Aside from Agassiz there was also Lake McConnell to the Northwest and Lake Ojibway to the East.

5:15 I'm picturing a previous advanced civilization. Perhaps a people of "giant" stature. Remnants of their civilization found in stone and brick buildings with doors and windows well below grade. Hmmm?

Buy a decent mike, please.

We currently farm in the area the was Lake Agassiz. We have incredible soil and underground river systems that are tapped into for a water source. One well we have on our land is well known to never run dry even in a dry year.

Great information, I may be old, but I love learning.

This is awesome and Informative!

Thanks for the post. What fascinates me most of this lake and the result of its discharge is how recent it was. Not all that long before the pyramids went up...

Do lake of the woods and winnipeg river!

I'd heard of Lake Agassiz and vaguely remembered it had outsized importance. However, I could remember exactly nothing else. So I clicked. Thank you for the highly informative video.

I live in the area (Canadian side) and found this interesting. You could probably do a part 2 and talk about the structure built to mitigate the outflow from Devil's Lake. There is also quite a history of boat traffic between Lake Winnipeg and the city of Winnipeg. There are many lift and turning bridges (none in use any more) and even a dam and lock. The river is probably not of much interest to people living outside the basin but I enjoyed it.

Thank you for this very interesting set of facts.

I live in the middle of lake Agassiz.

I can see the old shoreline of Lake Agassiz from where I live. I live on the old lake bed.

Tell us something that we DON'T know.

Thank you ☺️ 💕

cant recall the details but some have lately theorized that a meteor struck the great lakes area during the recent glaciation, changing the flow of agassiz thru the north roughly mackenzie r. route into the arctic ocean. somehow this is attached to the cooling period when for a thousand years or so the glaciers stopped melting and began advancing again.

Excellent video! Possibly a future video could put together the puzzle pieces of the Paleo-Bell river system? Also I recently learned that the unit of measurement for massive water flow on the scale of ocean currents or proglacial outbursts is the “ Sverdrup”. Norway being pretty close to Iceland I thought you might appreciate that😎 There is information on RUclips that flat out states the catastrophic drainage of Glacial Lake Missoula is the largest “flood” in the world. It pales in comparison to the Lake Agassiz outbursts. Wishing you many more subscribers…

Thanks for the video. We'll done. I live a few miles from the former shore of Agassiz and have a unending fascination with it and that period of time. I highly recommend Bill Redekops book : Lake Agassiz -The rise and demise of the world's greatest lake. Thanks again for an interesting video
