YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, USA

 

Yosemite National Park is a mountainous area located just west of San Francisco in the Sierra Nevada mountain range in Northern California.

Originally, the area was inhabited by the native Miwok tribe. In 1851, the natives were pushed out by a group of western settlers and the current name Yosemite was adopted.

Overtime, the part grew into one of the very popular natural destination for people from all around the world. Attracting tourists, hikers, and climbers alike, the area offers a plethora of gorgeous view spots, natural formations and raw and untouched nature.

Unfortunately, recently the impacts of human activity are becoming more and more apparent in the area as it suffers from ever-worsening seasons plagued with wildfires of proportions too large for the part to naturally recover from.

This video was captured during the Camp Fire in 2018 and all cloud-like structures in the video are actually a smoke from one of the worst man-made natural disasters on record.
