Theres Something Unusual about this Structure on Google Earth

- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2024
- Located on the top of a most unusual geologic structure, it is possible to see a strange looking shape on Google Earth.
I wanted to get a close - up look at this thing, but it required some pretty extreme measures to reach.
This unique location ended up being a fantastic challenge, and I found other things in the distance during this hike that may lead to future expeditions. The history of ancient / extinct volcanoes here tells a pretty amazing story.
Thanks for watching this video, if you enjoyed it make sure to subscribe to The_POV_Channel for more like it. I am always trying to learn more, so if you have any input regarding the fascinating history of this place, and the surrounding landscape, Id love to talk to you in the comments down below.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to leave a quick update here-
Apologies for the inconsistent video posts recently, I am currently on the road, filming some of my biggest and best concepts yet, including one that is very special (Ill give you a hint: it won't happen again until 2045)
Hoping to get back on a regular weekly Fri / Sat schedule as soon as possible.
Thanks for watching this video, cant believe this channel is about to hit 90k subs. I cannot thank you all enough.

*@**10:45** I screenshot this and will swap my head onto your body for my Christmas card. Where shall I tell my family I was in this photo?*
The eclipse! Can’t wait to see it.

I hope you get a decent viewing spot. It is supposed to be cloudy and overcast in my location in LA. That would be lower Arkansas 😂 LOL
I'm from that area in New Mexico. I'm Pueblo native so I know a lot ruins In nearby area
I love how silent this video is. No stupid music in the background, just wind, footsteps, some rocks. Perfect. This is how every hiking channel should be.
Oh hell... needs Ozzy Osbourne screaming !!!
that's precious
Thanks, appreciate that. I hope to start recording more of the ambient noise of the places I visit to give you all more realistic immersion.
@@the_pov_channelThank you. I have a low ADHD and this video literally helps me concentrate before study.
It's natural, it's great!
There used to be a log book in there, sad to see its gone.. I've been up on top of that twice... (there used to be a helicopter rescue card for the noobs, someone has been stuck up there in the past)... Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Haha I imagine alot of people freeze up when it comes time to climb down
I once spent a few months driving all over Costa Rica. On the Pacific coast I stayed in a small town that had a beautiful shallow bay with white sand beaches. I was snorkelling in water as clear as gin when below me on the bottom I saw the beginning of what turned out to be a huge spiral of stones! It was incredible. Beautifully stacked and rising higher as the circle tightened. It was a work of art. Back at my hotel I asked the owners (a French couple) about this and they had no idea. Then the next morning this little local Tico who was a waiter in the dining room told me what it was. He knew I spoke Spanish so he told me that 'los ancestros' had built the circle and that it was a sea turtle trap. During low tides they would fill the inner part of the circle with dead fish and cover it over so the sea turtles would choose to edge along into this circle, between the stone walls and the diameter was made to get ever so slightly narrower the closer they got to the middle and then, they would be stuck.
This is one of the most interesting comments I’ve read on RUclips this year, thank you so much for sharing!
Well, that is freaking awesome! I was in Costa Rica for a week recently but it was in the mountains and San Jose. The closest I could come to this is when my dad and I were hiking in the woods behind our house in New Hampshire back in the early 2000's. We went up a logging road from the turn of the century up past my house (which I later found out was an old coach road from the colonial days, turned logging road, turned abandoned road), and after going off the trail for a few we ended up finding an old, abandoned mica mine. It was a granite cliff about 30 feet tall and around 70 feet wide, with a giant rectangle chunk blown out of it, with piles of rock and huge pieces of mica strewn about the area. along with old blasting wires still sticking out of the ground. A little ways off of this barely visible road going to the mine was an old Model-T looking work truck that had a 50-70-foot oak tree growing right through the middle of it with a trunk twice as round as my arms hugging it. The truck was rotted down to rusted metal with only a shred or two of a fabric-like material remaining in the cab. A few days later we asked our neighbors down the road who were in the academic circle if they knew anything about it, and it turns out we were the first people to find it since it closed down after WW2. They told us it was a mica mine that was opened before the war and they would use the mica in transistor radios, different electronics, fireplace and woodstove windows, and various other uses. They were beside themselves that dad and I had found it, and soon after, they both went up and found it. This was in Wentworth, New Hampshire, on the edge of the White Mountains. It was a cool piece of forgotten history for the last 100 years. Definitely not as cool as your story. Lol! Also, in that same house we lived in, we had a woodstove from probably around the same time as the mine and IT HAD mica windows!
@@StrangeScaryNewEngland The place I was in is Manuel Antonio and the beach is in a nature reserve. You got to it through a path through the jungle. If you have blond hair cover it up completely until you get to the beach, Back then there was a tribe of macaques who went berserk and threw their excrement. They were OK with black hair like mine but they hated blondes. Maybe they just hated Germans lol.
bro I'm costarican amd never heard of that before :o wao
@@sebazcg2760 Pues ojala que algun dia puedas verlo. Playa Manuel Antonio en Quepas.
Really nicely done video of Cabezon Peak. Walked around it when I lived Albuquerque in the 60's. This is exactly what drones are good for. As well as young people willing to get away from the tv or computer games. Thanks from a 70 year old who would be there if he could.
Thanks a ton. What a cool place.
I second that. To be young and strong again. (and to live out west). Here on the east coast almost everything is owned with No trespassing....
There are rocks stacked on top of each other that you didn't notice at 3:11 in the video. That was the first sign of human presence.
Came down here to say this
Well spotted.
A trail marker.
As I’ve gotten older I am afraid of climbing very high. Thank you for sharing your experience. Way cool! 👍
Ditto.
He'll yeah, when I was 20 I could stab myself and watch it heal in real time. Now if i stub my toe, I gotta call out of work.
Even when I was young I would be too afraid, lol 😆
no thank you!
Glad you could climb that and take us old folks with you! ❤
anytime 😎
If you're ever doing any hardcore scrambling/climbing like this again, you honestly might want to consider buying some climbing approach shoes. Not only are they great to walk in but, they'll feel much better on rock. As dorky as it might be, wearing a helmet when you're climbing loose rock is probably a good idea in case there's rockfall or you just smack your head on the way up. Stay safe out there. Great content, keep it up. This is an insanely cool find.
I take it you mean climbing appropriate?
@@jackiemack8653 Yes and no, approach shoes are a style of climbing shoe that's also comfortable for the hike to your climb. For scrambles and lower grade climbs they are a great compromise to carrying a separate pair
I like my barefoot shoes for a feeling of the rock under the toes
I rope for decent it a valuable tool
We should be able to put 2 or 3 thumbs up! This was perfect, perfect! You daring up those walls, the intriguing spiral, the memories box. Truly fantastic! Thanks 👌🏻👌🏻
Cheers! Thanks :)
the beauty of the endless desolate is astonishing
indeed
Out here risking your life. Legend. I love how the drone audio caught the wind howling. So soothing!
It was perfect!
The drone audio is added after im pretty sure, its the same howling every video.
Drones are so loud, all you would hear is brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr nonstop droning. He deletes the sound and puts this on top of the video. Unless you hung a microphone way below the drone, that could work probably.
Risking his life? This is just Cabezon Peak about 40 miles NW of Albuquerque. It’s a fairly popular hiking spot. It’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere but there’s nothing really dangerous about it.
what a densely packed volcano field! That would have been like the worst parts of Mordor when they were active.
It would have been WILD
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this experience with us.
That was awesome balls of steel to climb that thing
This 80 y.o. vicarious explorer greatly appreciates your share of this land of N.M. that I have loved since I was a toddler. I knew it was there, but , now, you have shown it to me. I have seen it thru your eyes and I am thrilled. Your 'gift' is oh, so gratefully received . Thank you. I've passed by the turn-off , and never took the road less traveled. Thank you, again...
❤❤❤
The drone shots almost looks like another planet. Amazing landscape! I don't climb anymore but when I did it always seem easier to climb up and much harder climbing down. Maybe just me. I wish someone would go to the Grand Canyon and check out the so called Egyptian artifact cave in the forbidden zone. We need to know the truth!
Yep exactly - made me think Mars.
Yea it looks like what nasa calls mars....imagine just flying a drone there with a red filter, the sheeple would believe its mars
@@dannyturner7967 They could actually pull that off
Wow young man
Incredible work.
آپ کے کام کو سراہتا ہوں ❤
Wow… What a spectacular place! I just love your drone footage. And, YES, please find a way to investigate some of the anomalies of the Grand Canyon! 🎉❤😊
Awesome video! You've got a good boi accompanying you! Oh, and that was BARBED WIRE you flew the drone through, not power lines! Even more amazing.
@@Outrjs It does both, depending entirely on the conditions. That's a gulch, produce by periodic, intense rainfall rapidly eroding loose, alluvial depositions of fine sediment. There are other types of canyons that form over thousands or millions of years. There are rifts that form instantly when tectonic plates shift. There's a system of deep canyons in Georgia that formed rapidly over a few decades after human activity destabilized the area. The variation is as varied as the different environments on Earth.
@@Outrjs Lol, I _am_ an Indian, dude, and that's kind of racist. Ooh, us mythical Indians, telling magic stories! 🤣 Nah, what you're selling are stories, and I'm telling you, science has long since proven them wrong.
@@alden1132 he removed his comment, but what gulch are you talking about?
@@Salmacream IIRC, if wasn't any particular gulch. Rather, he was ascribing the creation of canyons, gulches, etc., including the Grand one, to single, simple, near instantaneous events. As if the fact that the one in the video undercut a cattle fence was proof that *all* such features form rapidly, that "they" (mainstream science, I guess?) are lying to us to hide "TRUTH" about the world from all the "normies." The rest of us believe the Grand Canyon formed gradually, over millions of years, but _special_ ones (like him), know it was the Flood or something.
@@Salmacream Oh, he also told me to go talk to some "Indians," that'd "tell me stories" about the creation of the world, as if they could magically explain all the natural phenomenon better than science.
When you got closer to the base the sides started looking like the sides of devils tower. When you flew over them cracks puts in prospective on how the Grand Canyon was formed. Stay safe stay healthy
DUDE!!!!! This is insanely cool!
thx 🤙
Those cracks are arroyos and you flew your drone through barb wire. I very much enjoy watching your channel.
Is that million year old water drainage or what makes those cracks?
I do too, isn't he great?
@@1nvisible1 The cracks are the scars left by the intense heat caused by a huge electricity discharge... lightnings on the lawn of a golf course or on man's skin look like that... Lichtenberg effect they say...
Yup at 15:46 you can see the fence on either side.
@@anne-dominiquemeylan1908 I live in Southern Colorado and we have arroyos everywhere and they are even named. They are not made by a massive electrical discharge, they are made by running water. Less conspiracy and more touching grass.
Cool video man thanks for doing the hike so we can see whts there too 😊
The fact that you free solo climbed that (and then got to see what the spiral is) means you're not just an outdoorsman, that's an adventurer. Also those drone shots were awesome
Free solo? He followed the path.
As always thanks for letting me join you. Great video and drone shots.
I can't believe how quickly you climbed that gnarly plug. That's coming from an old guy with old legs which would have totally gumbied out long before the summit. Loved the drone video, so great. Isn't it funny how the pups won't drink until you get back to them. Great buddy you have there. Catch you on the next one.
There is something magical about this video. The serenity of not only being atop this formation but being up there alone with perfect conditions that allow you to see for miles. I have driven through much of the Southwest but I have always dreamt of getting out and hiking/climbing. Thank you for sharing this experience.
I climbed that about 30 years ago, I’m pretty sure I signed the register. Thanks for bringing me back.
Brother I give you props. You never disappoint me. I haven't watched your channel in a while but I'm gonna start watching it again. Can you imagine what it looked like when those volcanoes where active? Dinosaurs walking around, lava spewing out of jagged peaks, etc Excellent video
those cactus were Cholla (pronounced choy-ah) cactus...their spines have tiny barbs so keep you and the dog away from them. ;-)
Looked like Staghorn Cholla to me.
this is incredible i just found your channel and the concept and quality is insane please keep doing you. ill be here for it.
I really love these videos. It's a bucket list item for me to do some exploring like this. Can't wait for the next video!
As all video game nerds know, splashes of yellow on the rocks mean "climb here".
But in this case the yellow is lichen not paint.
@@garypalmer2066r/woosh
why
@@BxBxProductions
It's a feature used by the gaming developer Naughty Dog to show players where to go.
Wish the dev would nerf fall damage :/
Nice work with the drone.
Nice prehistoric hike, thank you for sharing.
I studied art at UCLA in the 80's and this is the kind of homework we had, inspired by earlier earth artists from the 60's and 70's.
I’m a 66 yr old woman from the uk, now housebound after a lifetime of hiking, pot holing, exploring, camping,, staying in caves etc. Many RUclips watching hours in all that time but your videos make me feel I’m OUT walking, seeing all these fantastically beautiful landscapes. No irritating music… thank you so much for taking me such wonderful adventures. Love your faithful dog too.
Looks like a giant tree stump. Also didn’t see the curvature of the earth ;)
What is this stuff about giant trees that I keep hearing about?
The way you handled the contents of that box and your comments tells me everything I need to know.
Yup. Exactly.
And what is that ?
I don't understand
@@BoomKing72 oh yesssssss
Respect
Thanks for doing this one. I've been past there a bunch but never had a chance to stop. There's quite few plugs around the Las Cruces area too.
Just subbed, such an interesting channel my guy!
This channel is so cool! Thanks for the drone shots too
Really great video. Thanks for making the effort!
Very cool! 👍 And absolutely stunning. And so is the landscape. 😁💗 Thanks for another great video.
I'm from WA where everything is covered in trees and these desert exploration videos are like from a different planet I love it!
Thank you for showing us how diverse and geologically awesome the desert really is
I remember back ( 2004) went on a elk hunt at Mount Taylor. I got VHS videos of Cabazon it was 4 to 5 times taller and had its own eco system on top trees plants etc and there was a thunder storm going on on top, it was surreal
Some of the best videography I’ve seen. Thanks for making this one ✌️✌️
Woah... dude that looks amazing! Awesome video!
Great hike video ! Such a great dog waiting in the same spot for you.
Awesome Video! This landscape looks so amazing. Please go back to the Grand Canyon!!
Thank you for filming these adventures! Very cool.
Great video! Thanks for the terrific content....
Great drone footage! Amazing scenery! Just subscribed. Keep up the good work!
I love your videos!! I used to hike a lot before injury, so this way I can still explore the world :)
These landscapes are spellbinding! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome!!! Great drone flying and vision ..loved it .
Amazing drone footage! Love your channel. Thank you for sharing your adventures ❤😊
🎉🎉🎉 That was amazing. Thank you for sharing this crazy hike with us.
Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Great work. Freekin' Amaaazing! Thanks a lot.
9:38 looks like a dried up ocean floor
...or like an intensive exploitation of the soil by mining...
Thank you for this. Excellent footage with just the right amount of narration and selfies.
I remember when I could explore places like that. Thanks for letting us see this
A Spiral, a Cross, and I thought I saw something that could be viewed as a Crescent Moon... holy symbols all around
اپنی حفاظت کو بھی مقدم رکھیں ❤
Appreciate the natural audio on the drone shots.
That whole adventure was awesome! As someone who enjoys RC rock crawlers, the cracks you filmed at the end got me excited, it'd be awesome to cruise down that with a rig!
Awesome views brother. Thanks for the adventure✌️♥️
Very cool video, thank you for posting it. This kind of area is where I have seen some petroglyphs in the state of Arizona. Faded and somewhat difficult to see at first, but exciting to find in such a remote location.
Man, I absolutely love your videos! Especially now that I can't walk more than a mile a day due to a spinal injury. Thanks so much!
Love every place you show us. Us home bound people appreciate it. I'm out there walking and climbing with you.
Yes just a bum knee can limit you so much; take care of your knees!
First, thank you for the experience from this video. Thanks for leaving the ambient sounds of the wind. That made watching this video very real. Your drone is awesome. Very good piloting. Praying for your safety and continued success. We’re watching. ❤
I honestly love and enjoy these 'I Found a weird place on google earth and im going to visit it' episodes, its very interesting
What thrilling adventure!! Mahalo for taking me with you!! Far out!
That's why New Mexico where Cabazon is located, is called THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT!! My home state. Glad you are showing different parts of it. Thank You.
Awesome channel glad i found you from here in the U.K!!
yip, great videos, very nicely done dude!
Thank you for taking us with you!
Thanks Nolan ! Really enjoy your content !!
I love getting out for a good adventure but I couldn't have hiked that so thanks for hiking it for us! Did you leave a channel sticker in the box? I would have😁🤙 Loved the drone footage of the crack💯
That volcanic plug would be fun to climb. There is one like it east of Kirkland Lake on the Quebec side of the border with Ontario. It's also a great climb and if it were in Europe there would be a castle on top.
Btw the lime green lichen on the rock was very beautiful. Lichens are cool.
Amazing video! Incredible place!
That was a beautiful view of the desert. I loved how brave you are and skilled. Thanks for not adding music.
Great video and fun to watch. Great climbing.
Volcanic rock ?
Ohhhi thought it was an ancient petrified tree
This video was so damn cool man! That view from the top was absolutely incredible, I wish I could film some stuff from up there
Another great video! Love your pooch
Absolutely crazy hike and flying skills. I could spend weeks exploring there. 🤙
Such breathtaking footage! The drone shots are super amazing!
What brand/model you used for the drone shots?
Incredible landscape. Thank you
The crack/arroyo at the end is one of the most interesting aspects of this whole video! So neat
Agreed. Lucky to get that shot
hey bro don't ever quit !!! . keep doing what you are doing you are doing a Awesome job !🤜💥🤛
Wow, I love it! What a spectacular view! Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you!❤
Beautiful place. If you're ever down Texas way, you should check a place called Hueco Tanks. Near El Paso. I used to do a lot of climbing there 30-35 years ago or so. Not the same, but volcanic in origin.
Thanks for the trip, Nolan.
I LOVE your dog. I like the scenery too! All good stuff.
I love watching your videos, you find the most amazing places, thank you for sharing,
I make it my yearly goal to camp in that shelter, but beware the field mice. The structure helps a lot with the wind, as do the other three shelters that are on Cabezon. There's also a cross structure for a grave site. Hauling camp gear to the summit is a bit annoying but catching the sunrise there is surreal since the volcano casts a long shadow over the desert around it. One of my favorite spots in NM. Catching sunrise and sunset on the Organ Needle is up there too. Highly recommend that hike
Wow utterly utterly mind blowing place a 1st for me to see thankyou so so much for posting this astonishing place
Good trip. Beautiful scenery! Love seeing the shadows of the clouds move over the land!
thanks for sharing your journey. this makes me miss nature and doing stuff like this. suppose its never too late eh
