Wait really?
I think Drew show us this already.
Damn, must be a slow news day
Lfmao
Fun fact about the Sea of Japan: Both the northernmost tropical coral reef (off of Tsushima island) and the lowest latitude port that freezes over (Vladivostok) both exist within it. Additionally, this makes it so that Russia is closer to a coral reef than it is to France.
Fun fact. Taymir peninsula bigger than Kamchatka but for some reason it was ignored. And it goes North
@@PAINNN666 I made a comment about all the peninsulas that go north too. There's a lot, its just that some of them aren't quite as obviously peninsula shaped (due to sheer luck) and they're easy to miss because the map orientation makes it easy to see ones pointing down. Cape York and the Antarctic peninsula are probably the most obvious north pointing peninsulas.
Cool
Although highly insignificant information, it is a rather funny refreshment 🎩
@@PAINNN666what and where is that taymir?
You are actually right about that island being artificial. It was created with the building of the Daniel Johnson dam shown at 1:50. The lake didn't exist before the dam was built. It is the largest man made island in the world.
The Flevopolder is the largest artificial island in the world. I don't think this island even comes close
Never mind, I see now that Rene Levasseur island is actually about twice as big as Flevopolder (which was technically also built with help of a dam). It doesn't appear on the wiki list of artificial islands though. Someone might need to update that.
Ok

@@cerjmedia The Russia, China, North Korea border is pretty close to the Russian port city of Vladivostok. There is a train that goes across the friendship bridge (never try to sneak aboard that train)
No way really
11:05
Notable peninsulas that point north:
Cape York peninsula in Australia, Northland peninsula in NZ, Jutland peninsula of Denmark, Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, Labrador peninsula in Canada, Antarctic peninsula in Antarctica, Westfjords in Iceland (kinda sorta on that one), Birds Head peninsula in New Guinea (also kinda sorta, points northwest)
Really I think this is just an issue of map perspective, its easy to see the south facing peninsulas. If you turn the map upside down you'll probably notice the north facing ones more easily.
for the penninsula thing, I wonder if the rotation of the earth directs the plate tectonics, and landmasses end up being "smushed" north/south and it's just a coincidence (luck of the draw) that a lot end up pointing south. but vertical is preferred
Or it could be the way that continent were moved over time, because peninsula would unfold. (I don’t if it’s true, it’s just a theory of mine.)
the earth is spinning so it kinda makes sense that they get smushed N/S instead of E/W, but i feel it has something to do with the southern hemisphere getting more extreme weather due to rotation and lean
Someone commented about all the ones going "not south". They just aren't as obvious is seems like
I just thought about something else: we're looking at a flat map. Maybe the stretching at the poles influences the perceived peninsular masses
The modern continents have all drifted north compared to when they were all connected, except for maybe a few that stayed more still (Africa). The peninsulas follow behind. Seems like a pretty good guess to me. I feel like you can see the movement of landmasses quite clearly on maps. How the islands between Australia and Asia move south but then get twisted east and even a bit north because of Australia pushing them up, moving in a somewhat northeast direction itself.
5:27 Drew still pronouncing the Aral sea as the "Aerial sea"
The motto for the State of Michigan is the Latin phrase; “Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circumspice,” meaning; “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.” The state is comprised of two large peninsulas, with each having a few smaller peninsulas sticking out. Most of the peninsulas in Michigan face north.
The reason Italy does not have a bridge to Sicily is that Sicily is on a different continental plate, its technically in Africa
Yeah better leave those terroni to africa
Also because Sicily is one of the poorer regions in Italy
@@ilariadonati5363 Also because mafia
you should also say that the region is prone to earthquakes
And because of that it’s also really deep so that any bridge built there can’t have any supports in the water. That’s why it’s so challenging to build it.
2:54 WHAT CHINA BORDERS NORTH KOREA WOW I DIDN’T KNOW 😮
I think he meant Russia instead of China
Here in Slovakia we were taught that there are 5 continents and 7 "earth parts"
Yeah, I think many European languages differentiate between those two concepts. It's the same in Norwegian ("kontinent" and "verdensdel").

Man calling Sri Lanka a tiny island 😂
Yep literally one of the largest islands in the world.
I think it makes sense to talk about either 4 or 9 continents, depending on how much you want to differentiate between parts of America (North and South) and Afroeurasia (Africa, Arabia, India, Europa and Asia). Antarctica and Australia are more obviously 1 continent each, the other two super continents have different subcontinents.
So just F New Zealand right? Because its continent sank, so just F it.
Australia and antarctica are far separated. With Antarctica being an archipelago under the ice.
@@norml.hugh-mann
That’s why I said 1 continent EACH. And Antarctica is mostly divide because the ice is pushing the rock below down under the sea level. Would the ice (wich is a kind of rock too in a way) melt the continent would rise back above sea level and reconnect.
The Aral sea was once the 4th largest lake in the world but it no longer stands that position because of the dams that where used to water the rice crops in Uzbekistan
Slight correction, it was actually due to cotton farming as cotton is the most water-intensive crop. Kazakhstan actually built a dam to help replenish the North Aral Sea, which has recovered quite a bit over the years, but (afaik) nothing is really being done on Uzbekistan's part to help the South Aral Sea, despite numerous plans being put forward over the years.
@@untitled9229 thanks for adding that I mistook rice with cotton because in most of Asia they consume rice but actually they aired it on TV here in Paraguay about the cotton crops that there are in Uzbekistan, the damage to the Aral sea is done though
7:53 Yeah, but in this case, North America gets half of Iceland and a chunk of Russia, the island of New Guinea is divided in the north, and those who do not include the Caribbean plate still have to figure out how to divide the americas.
5:37 not fun fact:
Soviets had a labolatory of biological weapons on island on aral sea...
The reason peninsulas droop down/south seems to me as an avid amateur know-it-all, like a "likely guess" would be - because over the last, oh ya know, several million years most of the continental plates have drifted north, making some of the landmass trail behind. Also works for Labrador trailing east behind NA which has been moving westward for a long time.
P.S. And the break-up of the southernmost continents/landmasses have been more wild/extreme/chaotic than that of the northern parts. North also being where most of the landmass is. Makes it somewhat more stable I'd guess. Though could just be chance as well. I don't just count the "simple" definition of peninsulas here either. Africa and South America are shaped like drooping down peninsulas quite obviously.
11:28 Peninsulas drip to the south because of Gravity, I mean look at the map, they're literally dripping in the downward direction 🚬🗿
These videos are so comfortable to watch late at night.
3:31 This reminds me of Townscaper
As a Washington Statian, I find it kind of interesting that Hawaii is farther from us than Florida is 😮
The funny thing is you call yourself a Washingtonian (from the state of it’s namesake), but here in the Washington DC area, there is a Washingtonian magazine…..
Um…where are you basing your measurements?
Seattle to Tallahassee - 2928 miles.
Seattle to Honolulu - 2677 miles.
@@jwayneair Were measuring to the states themselves. In my case, I measured from my hometown (Bellingham) to the nearest coast of Hawaii, and then the nearest part of Florida.

Yet another mapping video from Drew again😁
Is it just me or is Drew durnil so much calmer here in this vid
1:15 I've been seeing so much talk about this recently, and I was there this summer on a research project. The lake actually is partially artificial, it is the headpond for a (very large) dam down stream. It's called the eye of quebec because of its shape and how much power it produces. There is a lodge at the lake you can only stay at if you're a research worker or construction worker.
The impact crater lake in Lappajärvi, Finland actually has the Kärnä island in the middle.
I love that Chile is just chilling on the chair and the country all idk name but just watching at drew drew durnil 1:24 and one on the couch too

@@Lameguyboat
@@raymondg7565yes
@@eduardpeeterlemmingHe’s talking about border controls. Luxembourg doesn’t have border controls since they’re in the Schengen Area.
The Manicouagan Reservoir in Quebec, which you highlight is not *just* an island in a (dammed, and thus the crater discovered) lake - there's a lake on that island, and it has islands of its own.
For the Sicily bridge, I live in Reggio Calabria, the city in Calabria that should be connected to the other side and they haven't built it for so long because it was found that Sicily gets away a few millimeters every year from the main body of Italy and because I think they didn't have enough funds for a lot of time. Anyways now they wanna build it but it's not going to connect the cities where the naval ports are and it's going to be on a smaller city further away and at this point a lot of people think that going with the boats is better (9:07)
In 2006 I got to visit Antarctica and we did an excursion to Deception Island. It's actually a volcano, so everyone joined the Antarctic swim team by diving into the water, and then laying in a natrual hot spring dug down in the mud/sand of the beach a few feet. I've still got my plaque somewhere!
Love your work
petition for drew to put the flag of montenegro on his wall (day129)
Lake Manicouagan in Quebec was formed 250 million years ago by the impact of an estimated 5 km asteroid. The impact was so large the cracks from the bottom of the crater penetrated to the upper mantle leading to a massive upwelling of magma. When formed it was probably much larger and more spectacular but this is some of the world's oldest exposed surface so it has been heavily eroded.
That impact hapened 214 million years ago, and is not related to the siberian traps.
Regarding the bridge, Croatia did it(the nontroversial pelješac bridge) to link up their southern parts, can't see a reason(other than monetary/sea depth) Italy couldn't link theirs.
Monetary/sea depth is the exact reason why it wasn’t built yet. The strait is more than 200m deep. No bridge supports can be built this deep so the bridge will need to have the span more than 1km longer than the current longest bridge in the world.
It seems like Drew got a new background, a new area?! Nice!
Fun with famlags be like 😂 love this channel, always interrsting❤❤
Everyone talks about that Canadian island in the lake but nobody talks about how it looks like the eye to a big face and finger that Quebec looks like on maps.
4:43 Kowloon is pronounced like "Cow-loon", not Kwoloon
BROOO!!!! I've thought the same thing about the peninsulas pointing South for YEARS!!! Like, Y THO!?!?!?! Why do they all seem to do so!?
1:15 ok so thats lake manicouagan, geology hub made a good video about it, and theres a good report of an expedition to the site, it is formed from a meteor, a long time ago a dam was built which filled it fully with water, making the circular shape extremely noticeable, theres lots of good photos of it from space to, its an awesome lake
Yea
The island/lake on the right image of the thumbnail I automatically knew it was in Quebec, Canada
8:40 Drew becomes Salvini for 4 seconds xD
Best time of the day
Peninsulas that run south: receding ice cap. Higher land that when being uncovered forced runoff on either side and eroded the land on both sides, leaving the prominent feature of the peninsula.
The floor of the Caspian Sea is resembles the ocean floor more than continental crust and it’s water is very salty. This is because to that area of Asia was under a sallow sea that eventually dried up as the continental crust rose. This is why it’s considered a sea and not a lake, despite being land locked.
Drew will always be my favorite
i liked the bit about the continent count. when i was in elementary school i had some maps which showed india as its own continent
Kowloon walled city was the most densely populated place on earth, but now it’s a park

Another amazing video and play countryball at wars
7:17 we learn that there are continents and world parts(?). So first one are with south and north America, Eurasia and Australia. And second one are with one America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
The reason why you believe peninsulas tend to skew to the south: humans are really REALLY good at finding patterns, even when they’re not there. We also like to morph our understanding of things (typically subconsciously) in order to fit patterns we think we’ve found
The US builds sprawling suburbs because anything other than single family homes and skyscrapers are pretty much illegal to build. You can thank oil lobbyists and car lobbyist for that

Alaska cannot be reached by rest of the us without going through Canada first. While it does have the highest point in the US (as well as North America for that matter) it’s not considered part of the continental US
I was taught the 7 continents but I now say 6, I actually got into an argument about it one time, they said Europe and Asia were separate and my argument was "Bro Look at it" it's even the same plate like come on we can't be using mountains to separate continents just because

0:14 california is NOT the home of the hottest place on earth. Its a desert in iran, according to NASA.
Eh not exactly the place you're referring to in Iran (Dasht-e Lut) has a recorded temperature of 70.7 °C (159.3 °F) from 2003 to 2010, while Furnace Creek in Death Valley, CA has a recorded temperature of 201 °F (94 °C) in 1972 and the fluctuations based on season there are 41.4 °F (5.1 °C) - 117.4 °F (47.4 °C), conversely Dasht-e Lut fluctuates by season ranging from 45 °F (7.2 °C) - 112 °F (44.4 °C).
So based on the highest maximum ever recorded, the consistently recorded yearly temperatures and the seasonal fluctuations Death Valley still remains overall the hottest place on Earth and befitting of its name.

If Doggerland still existed, wouldn't that make Britain a north-going peninsula?
I tend to subscribe to the 4 continents interpretation since it's the only one that doesn't require much arguing to explain.
