Being from Montana, I've seen both the Berkley pit and the many thermal lakes of Yellowstone. I remember one story where a man was walking his dog near one of the thermal hot spots and the dog jumped in. The man then jumped in to save the animal. EDIT: Misremebered the story from 1981, the dog did not survive. Bith the man and the dog died and the dogs body was never recovered. Yellowstone is beautiful, but there are definitely a decent number of horror stories that could be told. Great content as always!!!

This narrator's voice is perfect.
You guys at Be Amazed are doing a great job.
I'm amazed.

I can't begin to feel the amount of distrust and hatred the Soviet people must of felt against their government for keeping this secret for so long and it is unimaginable how much devastation this will continue to cause future generations. Thanks for another awesome and informative video.

Hi! I am amazed by watching your videos and I have to admit that I've learnt so much from you! I also want to request you a video about Albanians Bunkers, the dictator and so much more your followers can learn about my country, which for sure has alot to discover😊 Keep up the good work

I’m amazed at how few knew about any of these lakes, including myself.
These are things that everyone should know, especially those who live within a hundred miles of any of them.
Thanks for the heads up !

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It was scary to hear about these toxic lakes, but now I know which ones they are. (And knowing is only half the battle.)

I. Have. No. Words

I'm just watching this video with my mouth constantly dropping in shock

i love how even talking about dangerous things he still somehow makes us laugh

[kati]

Just sickened by the carelessness and lack of disclosure to the poor Russian citizens living near those disasters!
All these lakes intrigue me but would be afraid of the exposure.
But have seen Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone. It is magnificent and stunning! Nature's work of art!

I love these videos. Funny and educational. The perfect combination. If only school could learn it…

Truely terrifying to think that there are places on this planet that will completely dissolve you

I appreciate your effort to raise our awareness level on these topics; specially radiation. Illiteracy, greediness, and wanting to have some destructive power to control others, are at the root of those lethal nuclear bases and contamination. Some individuals do not care for the safety of people or the planet. If some delusional powerful person decides it's over, we are doomed. This is why we as human beings have to really be alert as to who we choose as our leaders or watch those in powerful or economical positions. 🤔

These lakes really need to have "No Swimming" signs posted around them.

In August of 2001, I went on a road trip and ended up at Yellowstone. I was right there on the walkways that encircled the prismatic spring. A warning about Colin Scotts fate was posted along the path. When in Yellowstone, if you see a sign that says "Stay on the path" you better heed the warning. It's a beautiful place to see, but it's no place to let kids loose running amok, either. (And I saw a few kids just wandering around while mom was busy with her friggin selfies.) The wind is also gusty up there. If you wear a hat, tie it down, or leave it in the RV! There must have been a dozen hats just floating around in the various pools or the shallow wet areas. If you lose your hat, scarf, phone, map, whatever.. ITS GONE! At one point I was away from other people, admiring the scenery and 2 kids come running up being obnoxiously loud. They stopped near me and began bragging and betting about how they could out-do one another by running through the wet area just off the raised path. About 12 feet away from the path was a cowboy hat sitting trapped in the scalding hot mud. I pointed it out to them. "Hey. Do you see that cowboy hat over there? The cowboy was still under it. He thought he could just walk through the mud, too. He sank right down and he just melted away! His hat and maybe some hair is all that's left of him. So you better just forget about it, and go back to your parents. Because if you fall off, you'll be sucked down by the mud and that'll be the end of your silly little bets." They both looked at me with horror and went back to their parents, walking carefully down the middle of the walkway. People who refuse to watch and keep their kids under control, should not go to places like this. Kids and dogs.. Why the heck would you bring a dog out there?! Fact: you dog couldn't care less about the park, and was probably suffering in the smell with his 100X stronger sense of smell.. Another little fact about the areas around the geothermal parts of the park.. It stinks. That sulfur smell is very strong. Especially when down wind of the active, bubbling parts.
Admire the beauty.
Enjoy the experience.
Gain new knowledge and memories.
Use your brain.
Stay on the walkways!
Keep your loose items secure!
Keep control and guidance over your kids!
Leave the friggin dog in the RV!

Imagine this happening to you. Imagine being one of those poor citizens. It breaks my heart that they had to suffer and die because of this

My brother lived in Dominica for a little while. I wanted to see the boiling lake there when I visited him but I never got the chance bc he had to be evacuated from the island after hurricane Maria hit.

[mimimim]

I'm from Dominica and have visited the boiling lake. I wasn't aware that I needed a gas mask. 😅 there was also a time a guy fell in the lake. Luckily he survived he does have burns but I've never seen it as he's always covered up

[massimosquecco]

I didn't know anything about this horrific story, and I thank you for this report because it is a powerful lesson about the dangers of weapons, science manipulated by Political and Economical interests, the horrors derivated by secrecy, especially at didactic level.

[jrx.v]

He literally can teach me a whole story of ONE lake in 14 minute and my teacher can't even make me understand how to do ÷ in math after 1 hour teaching 😤 I'm impressed by him 😍
