    I really like that you managed to put both humour and serious parts in here, that you talked both about a bit of the theory behind this phenomenon and had an expert voice appear while also not disregarding the people living there and talking about them for a bit. You've achieved a really well-rounded mix for a video this short that still delivers quite some information. I could keep watching for hours. Great work!

      I would like to point out tho, that its not "happening again" like he claims (9:25), but that it is constant and doesnt stop and start. It is quite disappointing how high quality the videos are and then they have silly little factual mistakes that show that it hasnt been researched quite as well as they appear to be (It's not specific to this one unfortunately). Still great quality overall, but it ruins it a bit for me.

    I remember visiting the Afar region in 2019. This brings back so many memories - the incredible landscapes and people, the boys with Crocs and Kalashnikovs, the camel caravans, going to the salt flats on the Eritrean border and sleeping on the lip of an active volcano (Erta Ale). It was a truly humbling experience. The only vehicles on the road were the white Toyota pickups of the tour guides and red Chinese construction trucks. I remember how excited our tour guides were to show us a new road that would cut travel time to the volcano by 2 hours.

    As an Ethiopian I can tell you that Afar is a really magical place. It has a landscape which is nowhere to be found on earth. You should have traveled more, you would have encountered active volcanoes, yellowish and greenish sulphuric lakes and landscape, a land full of salt and more. Afar is also where the oldest and most complete humanoid fossil, australopiticus afarensis (afarensis refers to afar), which was one of our ancestors, was discovered, its also the reason why Ethiopia is called the cradle of mankind.

The split of Africa is happening at 7mm (0.2 inches) per year, Niagara Falls erodes right now (With our help and intervention) at 1 foot per year.... 50,000 years it'll reach Lake Erie and undermining creating a river and rapids from lake Michigan and Huron.... the other four lakes will survive...
