Скачать или смотреть America's Forgotten Natural Wonder: The Great Raft

Howdy Friends,
In this video we explore the intricacies of Americas forgotten natural wonder known as the Great Raft. This structure, which filled the Red River for more than 1,000 years, was a naturally occurring runaway logjam that stretched more than 160 miles. It is the largest feature of its kind known to have existed in North America, and the effect it had on the cultures and landscapes around it are nearly impossible to quantify.
Join me today as we dive into the fascinating world created by this ancient structure. From the cultures that arose around it, the unique ecology that it created, the challenge posed to American engineers in removing and the landscape altering consequences of its eventual destruction.
