Hi! Mexican here, and i actually had enter the Cave of Crystals once in 2009. It was through a special permit for an international event that i was working as staff tho. They only let you enter to the "window" that is a kinda the door of the cave, and is behind an actual wind to protect the area from the rest of the world and protect you from the heat, the heat is really a thing, in only 30s of being there you start sweating buckets like never you had before, also, a warning, most of phone cameras get fogged because any humidity gets condensed in any glass or cold surfaces so... not good for trying to take good picures of the crystals inside...
The main reason you dont want to be in that crystal cave in mexico without a cooling suit is also because your lungs end up being the coolest place in the cave and the water in the air starts to condense inside your lungs and you slowly start to drown
The Cave of Crystals is just crazy. The precise geological conditions involved, makes me wonder what other bizarre treasures await future discovery. And what of other worlds in our solar system, such as The Moon, Mars, Venus, & Titan? What convoluted structures have formed in those places & beyond?
Amazing places! Wish we could have seen more of that Finnish rock. We never did get to see the tree. The bit on Yellowstone in the "Unitated" States was interesting, and probably unintendedly funny.
* United States Though to be honest, our country is getting...shall we say "less smart" so it may eventually be the "unitated states" or "untied steaks" which has a much better taste to them. Sorry...I haven't slept more than a few hours this whole week. Thank you for time-stamping the segments. It is appreciated.
There's a really cool balancing rock in Atlantic Canada where it looks like if the wind blew too hard, it would topple into the ocean! It's a large pillar, and for it to be standing upright, overhanging the edge of a cliff, is pretty impressive. It's on an island called Long Island in the Bay of Fundy if anyone is curious.
There was one in Namibia before it fell down in 1988. It was called Finger of God or Mukurob as known by the locals. I had seen it a few years before it collapsed.
It was a pretty common myth, as most of Finland has large numbers of these big rocks spread around thanks to the giant glacier that covered tge area, which is why they got the name hiidenkivi, translating to troll's stone. Kummakivi just happens to have been deposited in that luckily position.
@villepore7013 i like history like that! It is always neat to hear the rationalizations of older civilations with regards to natural occurences around them 😄 😄
Went to Ijen last year. The walk down was pretty dangerous and filled with people and the poor workers had to walk carrying heavy sulphur whilst weaving between tourists. Our guide said he'd witnessed 1 person fall on the slippery rocks and another fell in the blue fire both to their death
@@danelynch7171 yeah because clearly all backpackers know this information on a low English speaking island prior to the hike 🙄 thanks for the comment hero
@@matt4694 "but I didn't know" will be super comforting to the "poor workers" family when they slip and die because you just had to go see the sulphur mine... And when your guide said "let's go see a sulphur mine.", You didn't have any questions about safety?
About the heat in "The cave of chrystals": Here in Finland a comfortable sauna temperature is about 80-90 degrees Celsius! So a measly 58 degrees Celsius is a cold sauna.
Yes, the sauna needs to be around 80°C. And the outside should be maybe - 30, with cold water to jump into, or even better. A pile of snow😂 Voi, kaipaan Suomea 😊
I’ve been to the ‘Giants Causeway’. Don’t remember much about it. We’d first visited the nearby Bushmill’s distillery & got very shit-faced on the many free samples.
A pair of former Boyscout troop leaders toppled a similar formation in Utah some years ago, a hoodoo formed by erosion. It had stood for 150 million years, withstanding everything Nature could throw at it... but two rednecks was all it took to end it :( In their video, they were cheering and high-fiving and just overflowing with joy at their accomplishment.... but that glee didn't last long enough to reach the trial tho, where they were ultimately fined thousands of dollars each.
07:13 - A foolish mine worker died there after he tried to chop off a crystal to bring home for himself It pinned him and he died of heat stroke and/or possible drowning. -Drowning? - Ask me and I shall explain how
Hi from the "Unitated" States 4:42 ... And Old Faithful is a geyser, which is pronounced "GUY-ser." Here, "gee-zer," is a slang term for an old person. Maybe it is pronounced gee-zer there in the _Unitated_ Kingdom.
Do it. I've been here this summer, it's an incredible place. You'll need some acclimatization, since it's at 3800+ meters. Also it's very cold: at night it's -5/-10C and almost all of the hostals aren't heated. Totally worth it: Bolivia is wonderful.
Similar to the Indonesian place, Taiwan also has a pretty cool spot with blue flames called 出火 in Kenting (where natural gas is forever coming out from the ground and burning as a blue flame, but it's safe to visit).
I saw a "Free Documentary" about mining sulphur and I think it was from that lake - hard work for pennies and if you slip and fall in the water its pretty much game over!

My brother in law got to go into the crystal cave for some kind of work he was doing. He's highly certified in fire and rescue and was training in different caves. Hes been a saturation diver and worked with satellite relays for nasa. So im not sure why he was training there. He was allowed to take a few pictures and even brought back a hand size crystal for my son. He talked about the crystals being the size of trailer houses.
Dudes ... 4:42 ... and actually read it. Apparently, the Grand Prismatic Spring is in the Unitated States. ... seriously, that got by both editing and QC ... but how?
As a Finn I love it that when Finland gets mentioned it is about a goddamn rock. Not a mountain, a salt plane or a mysterious cavern. Just a pretty strange rock 😂
Alongside Kawah Ijen, the Tanzanian volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai is also one that deserves special mention. It's the only known volcano that erupts carbonatite lava, which is liquid at such low temperatures that it doesn't glow in the visible spectrum and is so runny that some people mistake it for a mud geyser. New Scientist has a good little RUclips video on it :)

Or up their cocaine..uh coffee rations 😂
I was like" Huh, I've never heard of... Wait a second".
There's a Geezer in the Unitated States, according to Simon.
Can't blame him. After all, he grew up in the Unitated Kingdom :P

Damn.
Sounds like a board game.
The cave of crystals looks like the Fortress of Solitude
Way warmer thou
The Cave of Crystals is just crazy.
The precise geological conditions involved, makes me wonder what other bizarre treasures await future discovery.
And what of other worlds in our solar system, such as The Moon, Mars, Venus, & Titan? What convoluted structures have formed in those places & beyond?
I was amazed when I saw the guy on one of the crystals. Till then, I thought they were maybe hand to arm sized.
Amazing places! Wish we could have seen more of that Finnish rock. We never did get to see the tree. The bit on Yellowstone in the "Unitated" States was interesting, and probably unintendedly funny.
4:43 The UNITATED States? That's located in Norath Amarica, right? Just south of Cananada?

The cave of crystals is basically like being inside a gigantic geode from what ive read and looked at in pictures
4:43 Who was eating crisps while working😂
Simon disregarding the legend of giants is the most Simon thing ever 😆
It was definitely the result of giants and trolls throwing rocks at each other because I find that explanation hilarious 😂
I've seen them do it in the Lord of The Rings movie 🙂

The prismatic spring is awesome.
"Giants throwing rocks at each other": Definitely true!!
That sounds sooo gay...

I’ve been to the ‘Giants Causeway’. Don’t remember much about it. We’d first visited the nearby Bushmill’s distillery & got very shit-faced on the many free samples.
I simultaneously want to try and topple that stone and would feel absolutely horrible if I succeeded 😅

Speed week at the salt flats are always a blast
07:13 - A foolish mine worker died there after he tried to chop off a crystal to bring home for himself
It pinned him and he died of heat stroke and/or possible drowning.
-Drowning? - Ask me and I shall explain how
gotta say those crystals are something else. I thought those where the stuff of movies.
Absolutely incredible.
At ~$12/ton, I’ll glad pay $150 to have one of those 12 ton crystals Amazon Prime shipped to me.
The one-two punch of Unitated States and "geezer" about killed me
Hi from the "Unitated" States 4:42 ... And Old Faithful is a geyser, which is pronounced "GUY-ser." Here, "gee-zer," is a slang term for an old person. Maybe it is pronounced gee-zer there in the _Unitated_ Kingdom.
Worry not. It's some small revenge for letting them pronounce aluminum wrong for so many decades and giggling about it for all this time. ;p
Eh, it's fine. Simon's English and knows how to speak it.
@@labrat256 Oh great, another dictionary to buy! ;p
FKJ’s performance on the Uyuni salt flat is absolutely sublime. It’s like he’s floating on a cloud.
Who is FKJ?
Definitely want to go to #1, that's been on my list for years.
Do it. I've been here this summer, it's an incredible place. You'll need some acclimatization, since it's at 3800+ meters. Also it's very cold: at night it's -5/-10C and almost all of the hostals aren't heated. Totally worth it: Bolivia is wonderful.
4:42 Did Sam sneeze while editing? Unititittititited…
'Geezer" got me. Excellent video as always.
Just curious...where are the Unitated States? :D @4:43 Funny typo.
At first I read it as "uninitiated," and I knew something didn't look right.
What’s the music piece at 8:30? That staccato singing in Latin?
Eastern WA is covered in basalt columns, exposed during floods. Super awesome.
Great video however the background music is too loud in places..
Ah, the old faithful geezer in the Unitated S of A.
Really went out there with the music in this video 😂
“Geezer” Old Faithful??? 😂😂😂.
The Giants Causeway is beautiful! And the story is great too, reminds me of Paul Bunyan and babe the blue ox creating the Great Lakes.
Similar to the Indonesian place, Taiwan also has a pretty cool spot with blue flames called 出火 in Kenting (where natural gas is forever coming out from the ground and burning as a blue flame, but it's safe to visit).
That sounds beautiful.
12:02 Is that a wire fox terrier standing beneath the balancing rock?
That balancing rock looks like the Heundeulbawi rock in front of the Buddhist hermitage in Soraksan, South Korea...

4:40 Happy to live in the Unitated States
“Was placed there when giants and trolls were throwing rocks at each other”.
Me: just like the internet.
This makes me wantt to travel.
Where is this Unitated States? Should have asked an old geezer.
Hey Simon....
Geezer played bass in Black Sabbath.
A geyser (pronounced guy-zer) is found in Yellowstone National Park.
I saw a "Free Documentary" about mining sulphur and I think it was from that lake - hard work for pennies and if you slip and fall in the water its pretty much game over!
The crystal caves scientists with cooling suits had ¾hr. That was maxing the human body to the max.
I’ve been wanting to go to salar de uyuni for a minute now goated it ended up in one of the goat’s videos

The Unitated States, right next to Cananida and Mexixco
I showed this video to my wife. She asked if Superman was there?
Grand Prismatic Springs in the UNITATED States? I believe it's spelled United...
Nah, it's another country he's talking about 😆
Song at 3:35 please ?
Anyone know where the Unitated States are? I'd love to visit :p
I've seen similar feature as the Giant's Causeway on Mt. Canlaon, in the Philippines...
We also have columnar basalt here in Washington!
In California we have this big balance rock called Globe rock. Worth checking out. Near North Fork Ca I think.
Wave rock, Western Australia?
Still using the lint brush I sent you I see...good man.
