Oregon also has a similar situation with the sand dunes in Florence. 40 miles of dunes in the middle of a temperate rainforest.

The dunes south of Florence are along the shore, so not exactly in the middle of temperate rainforest. Forest on one side, ocean on the other, making them similar to the Pismo Dunes on the central California coast. Both are impressive.

Shawnee National Forest of Southern Illinois - Dramatic towering bluffs, odd rock formations, natural arches, balanced rocks, chimney rocks, crevice caves, swiss cheese rock, slot canyons, 90⁰ rock cut mazes, numerous waterfalls and Native American Petroglyphs occupy this small mountainous region in the prairie state

I grew up like 20 minutes from Pine Island. There's this country store and they make the best kielbasa you'll ever eat.

I would love if your looked into the Henry, La Sal, and Abajo Mountains and the San Rafael Swell. This region is located at the end of two storm tracks: the mid-latitude cyclones and atmospheric rivers during the winter in the northwest and the summer monsoons in the Southwest. This region has some of the most elaborate canyons and isolated mountain ranges in North America, and there are lots of endemic species in the region and crazy geologic features, all formed by volcanic activity and millions of years of wind erosion.

I love the formations between Moab and the La Sal mountains. Just sit and think about how they formed...

It reminds me of the kind of thing you'd see in Minecraft; desert next to a tundra biome.

I think the sand dunes in my country (Wales) are the biggest inland dunes in the world, was shocked when I realized that they are only 1,000 years old, there are villages buried under them from Saxon invaders.

the Sweet Grass Hills that straddle the Montana-Alberta border are prob the most surreal example of Sky Island Mountains I'd recommend covering them

Wisconsin has a bunch of stuff that might fit this series: The Spread Eagle Barrens (yes, that's what it's called), The Ledge (which is actually just part of the Niagara Escarpment), Rib Mountain (our Lonely Mountain), and The Castle Mounds come to mind.

I've really grown to enjoy your content! I would love to see a video about why the Black Hills are an anomaly! I grew up in South Dakota.

I used to work for a lodge up in Bettles , Alaska. They flew me out to Kobuck Valley and Gates of the arctic national parks one day. It was so surreal and gorgeous out there. Especially in the Sand Dunes.

Hey I just gotta say I found you from the Vermont republic video you made 4 years ago. I learned more from that video then I could anywhere else on KZread. Just watching the first 20 seconds of this video I saw how much you have improved in these 4 years and it was an instant subscribe. I have a feeling you are gonna be very successful on KZread, I do have one criticism though, just sound more enthusiastic and maybe crack some jokes I know if you do that then a lot more people will be interested, everything else is just gained from experience, just sound like you are talking about a topic you enjoy talking about instead of sounding like you reading an essay. You got a long career ahead of you and I cannot wait to see how you grow!❤

There's a section of Michigan where you can stand on a chunk of land that is from a lava flow that's older than the oldest of dinosaurs. If i remember correctly it's around 1-2 billion years old

Good video. Accurate and detailed. Well done.

The "islands" first mentioned put me in mind of drumlins. There is [or was] an area near Syracuse University called The Drumlins because of the drumlin field. They are also associated with the glaciers. The Great Blue Hill outside Boston, MA, is a gigantic rock dropped there by the retreating glacier which also left a gigantic terminal moraine, Cape Cod. Thanks for another wonderful video. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Burkes garden virginia and the cumberland block are 2 geographic places that's kinda interesting.

Quabbin Reservoir, the biggest body of water in Massachusetts stretching 18 miles with a max depth of 151ft, was formed by demolishing and flooding several towns in a valley in order to solve Boston's water shortages in the early 1800s. You can still find the foundations of some buildings and rock walls denoting farming property land along a bunch of trails around the reservoir, but for the most part the only remains of those towns that were flooded are the roads that went in and through them that now lead to the water. There's a lot more history about it its all very fascinating. I only know this stuff cuz I live right next to it! It's a beautiful hiking spot.

Thanks for these

The onion fields around Pine Island are a very popular flight training practice area due to its low flat land with plenty of emergency landing spots and few residents to be disturbed by low flying airplanes. I've spent a lot of time over those fields teaching students turns around a point and S turns over a road.

thank god another out of place geography video right when i needed one

Visited the badlands about 3 days ago, definitely worth the visit

Similar to the dunes of the Chara Sands in Siberia. Love your content and your composed, comprehensive and balanced style. The history and facts of the individual states is both educational and fascinating. All the best from me in sunny Scotland.

looking forward to the national park series been exploring Cuyahoga Valley national park near my home town in Ohio. it has a interesting history of restoration of landscapes and preservation of historic areas. it's definitely an under appropriated park. if you need photos or videos for the video of it let me know i'm there weekly these days.

Great video.

And that was interesting!

I've been watching all of these because I'm making a geoguessr map, and I'm trying to have a few curveballs in there. I've gotten a few good ones from these videos, thanks. There's a relatively famous location (in the geoguessr community) that really stands out as being very out of place, and it could be interesting enough to put in one of these videos. There's a lake/reservoir (Lake Stanley Draper) in Oklahoma City where the street view coverage of the dirt road along the lake looks like Brazil, Cambodia, Uganda or something- the dirt is such a brilliant red-orange, you'd never guess it was in the middle of a US city.

In Leflore County in eastern OK stands what is claimed the worlds highest hill, 1 foot short of being a mountain.

A great international out of place geography feature: Wallender Born in the Eifel district in Germany is an active cold water geysir!

michigan has hella pine dune ecosystems

Re: Sand Dunes -- the only pines up here in Alaska were introduced. Those aren't pine forests popping up out of the dunes, they're spruce and such. My buddies do tree work and have told me that. So I don't know what they are, just that they're not pines :-)

Wow! Sand dunes in Alaska. How surprising.

I dont know if you've already covered this, but I saw a travel video that featured the Tottori sand dunes in Japan outside the city of Tottori. They apparently have segway rental

Look into the lava walls in La Veta, Colorado. Also, you should do the Eye of the Sahara.

I would like to hear your take on Paradox Valley in Colorado.

Southeast Washington is dry as a bone. Yet it's part of "The Evergreen State." It's very different than what people normally think of when they think of Washington. One of the most odd places it Potholes State Park in Moses Lake, Washington.

You should cover the Loess Hills in Iowa.

Please do odd geography places around the world

Hi from the Yukon. The lake that created the sand dunes is Lake Bennett. Not Watson Lake.

Finding sand dunes in Alaska is definitely something that fits my description of an anomaly and definitely is very interesting as you say! I am looking forward to your upcoming NIational Park Series!
