Geology of White Sands
www.nps.gov/whsa/learn/geolog...
Long ago, an ancient sea covered most of the southwestern United States. It was during this time that layers of gypsum were deposited on the seafloor. The rise and fall of the sea level millions of years ago started the process of making the gypsum sand that covers the monument today. Many factors, including the latest ice age, had an effect on the formation of this magnificent landscape. The following journey through time shows the gradual transformation from sea to sand, and the amazing factors that allow this dune-field to exist.
White Sands Missle Range
www.nps.gov/whsa/learn/histor...
White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), our next-door neighbor, has had a historical past and an impressive mission for today’s security. The bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II took place on December 7th, 1941. This caused the United States Government to respond. The U.S. military established a permanent presence in the Tularosa Basin during World War II, creating White Sands Proving Grounds, which is now called White Sands Missile Range, as well as the Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range, known today as Holloman Air Force Base.
White Sands Missile Range was also one of the key locations of the Manhattan Project, which developed the first atomic bomb during World War II. The testing of the first atomic bomb took place in 1945 at the Trinity site on WSMR, 65 miles north of White Sands National Monument.

Awesome! Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as we did! What an interesting place!
It’s so crazy that the roads are covered with sand too!! This looks so neat!! 💕
It was a fun drive for sure!
Cool landscape - always interesting when you get places like this all to yourselves as you experienced. And the sledding sure looks fun.
Right on all accounts! We love when we feel like we have a place to ourselves. We often wonder why there aren’t more people out enjoying beautiful places!
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching!
@@AdamandMadalyn no problem! We really enjoy the outdoors and filming our experiences also
Ah yes. Wind and filming :) I know the pain my friends. I know the pain :)
Thanks Wolters! We try everything to avoid the wind! Our Rode mic does pretty well in the wind, but can’t say we still don’t make rookie mistakes! We’re big fans of your channel, you were incredibly helpful on our honeymoon to Europe and we will soon be looking into any Ireland/Scotland trip tips you have for our trip next summer!
@@AdamandMadalyn glad we could help out. My early videos had horrible sound. We all learn with time. Good luck on growing the channel and keep up the traveling. All the best!
Thanks Wolters!
@@AdamandMadalyn No problem. One of your parent's friends is tutoring one of my sons. So she told me about her traveling friends, so i had to check you out. I see a bright future for you! Keep it up!
Thanks for the kind words! Your son is in good hands…that same person helped me with some advanced mathematics when I was at the U of I!
It doesn’t look like you sink into the sand like you do on a beach, do you?? Looks like you’re walking right on top of the sand!
Nope, it's pretty firm. It has a little give, but the areas at the bottom of the dunes are like dry river beds.
