I love these videos! Geology comes alive in Nick's hands! I took a plane ride over Mt St Helen's last spring with my son and some of the filmography in this video reminds me of that experience - we felt SO close it was as though we could touch the mountain! Time to go schedule our next plane ride adventure!
So glad to see a series on the most northern WA mountain area... and as always Love Nick!! And LOVE the drone and camera-work, first rate and talent! WOW AGAIN Gary Paul is a field producer too. And I was just wondering if Nick was going to pay Gary a visit since this is Gary's back yard!! Pays to read the credits. I call Gary the Obi Wan of the Back Country!! Hello Gary!! Do you have a calendar out this year? Nick should create a calendar also!
Great one Nick, Gary, and Brady. Fast, to the point and detailed. Now I want a full lecture from Nick on this topic, supported by Gary's photos , of course.
Those Andesite columns are beautiful structures. So much Geology to learn. Thank you Nick and KCTS for bringing us these geology adventures. FYI... "Volcanoes" is misspelled in the title of the video.
I drove up to Artist Point in the summer of 2024. Very scenic drive. Thank you Nick as usual for telling me what I was looking at. It makes it far more interesting.
If you put rock goggles on, everything I enjoy outdoors in Washington has always amazed me. Hwy 410 then we go scuba diving… Many dives in Deception Pass, and then off Neah Bay reminds me that Mother Earth’s design is amazing.
Who knew! All this time I thought those volcanic valleys below the peak were eruptions from the volcano. Never thought much about it. Very interesting.
Youve given us so much insight to the creation of this magnificent landscape! Being a rock houbd myself it gives us good ideas of where to dig based on absortion of land mass and volcanic activities that create some of the most beautiful semi precious stones
Wow so spectacular! I can see Mt Baker from where I live, it's always been a landmark since I was old enough to recognize it. So glad you did an episode on my favourite volcano! Thank you!
I climbed Mt. Baker in the 1970s and my son climbed it with a paid for guided group in May of 2017 before they climbed Rainier. I climbed it in August 1973 and there wasn't as much snow as my son encountered in May, but in 73 you weren't going up there in May. I knew it was a volcano, but didn't know it sat in an old caldera.
When Boeing moved us to Seattle in August 1978 (I was 16, sis was 17) the first thing my sister and I did was go to the Pacific Science Center. At the time, they thought if any Cascade volcano erupted soon, it'd be Mt Baker. I don't think Mt St Helens was even mentioned!
It erupted in 1885. During the mid 1860's people in Victoria BC saw massive plumes rise from it - even a report that a huge section of its top disappeared. Love to see another eruption. sooner rather than later..
Staring at the lower snowy sections from asi get loaded in custer. Sure wish i could take highway 20 with my semi, but everything i see online says it isnt allowed.
While the usual rule to form a plural for nouns ending in 'o' is to add '-es,' and that's the way Stevie spells it, both 'volcanos' and 'volcanoes' are judged acceptable by most dictionaries and commentators.
What this doesn't address is the Black Buttes. The Black Buttes, on the western flank of Mt. Baker, are the basalt core of the previous volcano where Mt Baker is today. That volcano went extinct about 500,000 years ago and was about 2 million years old when it died. So what is the relationship between this caldera and that previous volcano. They are clearly two different volcanic events as the caldera explosion would have been long before the Black Buttes volcano went extinct. But they both would have been in the same general location. I would be very interested in the geologic historic relationship of those two volcanic events.
Love Nick and SO GLAD he got his series back. What a mega-talent!!
Nick - I’m really enjoying this new PBS series.Very interesting. I hope there are many more. No one does a better job than you.
Brady Lawrence is doing such a great job!
Great video. I’ll bet this could have been an hour segment.
A Geologists Geologist. Well done Nick
Excellent video as usual. This new series of Nick on the Rocks is hitting it out of the park.🌋
Been waiting for you to take a closer look at baker fascinating area on and around it

Wow! Awesome, Nick, Gary, and Brady!!😃✨💗
PBS and “Ned”, a perfect pairing!!! Thanks!
Thanks Nick! Your videos are so well made, and have incredible information. You make geology incredibly interesting. I love learning from you.

ROCK ON! The Carl Sagan of geology!!!

Love this series: interesting topics, super high quality video.

Having followed nick for a few years now, technical question. All of this is totally due to Subduction Volcanics no matter what the age, yes?
Nick is the best!!!
I always enjoy your lectures! Paul Link did you good!!!
Bravo, Nick! You hit it out of the park again. Sure hope to see more. Can't get enough!❤
..fond memories rest in peace pattie saurman
Beautifully made. The photography-videography was spectacular.
Excellent production! Wonderful videography, with a great teacher.
"Volanoes". I had to look it up. Apparently volcanoes gets misspelled frequently.
A fantastic production. Hoping for more like this with history and geology discoveries and beautiful scenes.
Love these videos! stunning views and interesting history.
Wow, that is very beautiful & picturesque
Very good love the Nick on the Rocks series. Thank you

PBS cascade, you hit gold with professor Zentner. Thank you for picking these up.
Excellent.
Only thing wrong with these episodes is they're not nearly long enough! Give Nick at least 30 minutes and an hour would be even better!
👍 more please.
Nick makes learning easier for someone like me. I love all the details shared but within a 5 minute video. Super awesome.
Wow------- missed THIS TOO..... Going to see it tonight!!!❤❤❤ *playing "catch up" 😂🎉

@Ellensburg44 I wonder if Nick still uses that old tag anymore? I haven’t seen it being used in at least 4 years, maybe more.
Thanx Nick, you Rock! 😅

How cool. Nick, it loos like you are in the Alps. The beauty of Washington State.
Hiii Nick!
Nick thank you so much. Visual geology and your way of teaching is very captivating. I enjoy your geology videos.
Great videos.

Nick on the Rocks is way to short, it just scratches the surface
PS I was just up there today, do much to see
Is Baker still growing?
Minus 7 now.
Staring at the lower snowy sections from asi get loaded in custer. Sure wish i could take highway 20 with my semi, but everything i see online says it isnt allowed.
This needed an hr long program..that was way to little😢
❤❤❤
Ok, so that’s why there are plinths of andacite all over whatcom county.

This was fabulous! But oh my, please don’t get so close to the edges of things. You’re a PNW treasure and we don’t want you to fall.

I could watch and listen to Nick Zentner describing the drying of paint. IMHO, he is a national treasure.
check out the AI-rendered mountains in the background. unnacceptable, GoPro/RUclips
Mountain in background is real. Your assumption is unacceptable.
A bot claiming AI did it, too funny.
