O
Please do a video on the Kremlin thank you
Please make a video about Bar Lev Line, costing around $300 million in 1973.
C'mon Simon, you can admit you're reading Bill Gates' books... on this channel anyways.
I never imagined Simon Whisler conspiring with NASA and every meteorological society on the planet, to lie about the global temperature; despite absolutely no clear motive for doing so. Wake up Sheeple! 🐑🐑🐑
It must be a tough job, always having to work with ice-holes.
I see what you did there, but its a bit of a stretch.
spat me coffee over my keyboard, very funny
I was expecting an ex wife reply 😂🤣
BA DA BUM BUM TSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHHSHSHSHSHSHSHS
I shit my pants when I read this.
When taking about Antarctica, "The north of the continent" is rather vague 🤣😉
That would mean the bottom side of the ice lol
Basically going by what spot has the lowest number latitude south 😅
Hahaha yes, fair point.
I was confused by that statement as well! Lol I'll admit I thought about it for far too long
"Around 1670km south east of the south pole" got me. How do you go south east from the south pole? (Magnetic pole and all that but still)
Using directions like north and south when talking about Antarctica doesn't always work, as the north end of the continent could mean any end of the continent.
10:50
How can anything be south-east of the South Pole?
Just my thought. I started looking at the replies to make sure I wouldn't be duplicating it! ;)
Yup. Everything is north.
Cuase the world is flat sorry
*you do so by tacking an (ish) to the end of the directional orientation*
Depends on how you look at it.
IMO they missed an excellent chance to name their organization the Ice Core Corps.
Their acapella group should be Core Corps Courus
At 12:30 minutes you mentioned a drilling station at the north end of the continent. Wouldn’t that be petty much anywhere on the continent?🧐
Had the exact same thought
One can take that to mean "the point furthest from the pole" I guess. East and west you can use 0 and 180 longitude as reference points*. The ambiguities arise if you try to go south from the pole (impossible) or (generally) north (infinite options).
---
*hence Alaska is simultaneously the northern-, western-, and eastern-most state in the US.
What he said at 10:50 makes even less sense. He’s looking a a map of the South Pole from one particular orientation and acting like down and south are the same concept
We had ice cores from the Arctic in the bottom of our freezer for many years from some of the times my uncle was up on the CCGS Amundsen. Eventually they were all used either for his research or some of his students research
“The 2020202021 season...” am I stroking out?
“670 kilometres southeast of the South Pole? How’s that work then, Whistler? Sort it out, it’s not bloody Business Blaze here, matey.😂
Flat Earthers go "REEEEEEE"
the globe got DEBUNKED lol... its a cartoon...
Are you a member of the salty army?
@@mistytharpe3991 only on days that end in y. Lol jk
@@omegalightning5715 😂😂
@@simonramos485 "The globe got debunked?" How is it then that every long-distance pilot and navigator (air and sea), astronomer and geographer (including students), ecologist, meteorologist, climatologist, biologist studying birds migrations, long-distance communication technician, surveyor, cartographer, etc., works with the globe model? Most importantly, why is it that not a single flat Earth guru works in a profession or trade related to the shape of the planet? And even more importantly, why flat Earthers don't surpass globe Earthers in every profession related to the Earth's shape or its movements? When has a flat Earther predicted an eclipse with more precision than NASA? When has a flat Earther predicted any event in Earth or space that has effectively happened?
All what flat Earthers do is to claim they are right - *but they don't demonstrate it.*
Hearing about the drill getting stuck and lost is heartbreaking after that much work. I’m amazed they couldn’t figure out some way of retrieving it. Shows how truly difficult this process really is.
Possibly pumping massive amounts of electrical current into the drill which would offer resistance.... basically turning the entire bit into a large heating element.
Id love to do this once in my life, spend a tour in Antarctica.
Yeah its all fun till you visit the Mountain's of Madness
You go right ahead!! Send me a post card! ... But on the same token....I would love a tour of the Amazon Rainforest... With guides who would keep me alive of course. Lol
My grandfather did 2 with the US NAVY
*personally i've wanted to go to Antarctica and stand on my head at the exact geological pole and see if by doing so i'm propelled into sub orbital space...no real contingency plan if that actually happens apart from getting the geek cred and Darwin award simultaneously*
You can reach the geographical north pole by a sea tour for $30K and reach the the south one by plane for $100K
«Coolest» MegaProject ever (no doubt)! ❄️
Been asking for it for months.
Man cannot change climate
Ba da bum bum pish
World is flat operation fishbowl
"20202021" that one through me for loop, can't imagine how many takes that one took Lolz Great video!
Simon I love your excitement for science. It brings joy to my heart.
US cold regions lab : We're looking for the Thing.
Vostok drilling team : Hold my chess bord.
I love how excited you get about scientific discovery. It's written all over your face, childlike and wonderous! Infectious. Amazing!
Helped analyze these things as part of a project. Monsterously interesting.
I enjoy seeing you get so excited when you are talking about a particular subject. It appeared that you were really having fun recording this episode.
I think all my time is now spent watching the various Simon Whistler channels including your new channel "xplrd".
A new movement needs to be started to change CZcams's name. I vote for SimonCinema!
When I did a turn down there as a dishwasher, we had some pretty wild parties. One time someone brought a bucket of core ice to put in our scotch. I remember it making pretty crazy popping noises as the ultra compressed gasses in the ice melted out. It was pretty cool.
That beard! Love all your stuff man, keep it up 🖤
One of your best vids yet..
I was continually expecting you to tell us the drilling had to be stopped on account of everyone being assimilated by "The Thing". Glad that wasn't the case if I'm honest 😆 Another top vid.
Utterley fascinating Simon.
Just love science.
Always enjoy your videos very professional
I love these videos.
🍻
Absolutely fascinating!😃❄️
Science is amazing! Almost scary! So many fields. Do a video on the ITER Fusion reactor. Cern and ITER is crazy science. Thanks! Love your content!
Analyzing ice cores with deep seafloor cores, you can map a pretty cool image of how the weather changed in a million years and even the patterns.
About that lake under the ice, not sure if that can be considered another megaproject, but if it can, I'd love to hear more about it.
Great preliminary report. How about a few on what has been discovered.
The Antarctic ice cores have shown that the temperature rises, THEN the CO2 rises, over the ice age cycles.
exactly, with a 800 year lag, So temp goes up then 800year later co2 rises
Hmmmm that sounds like something Hannity would say during his nonsensical ravings.
@@JimP226 Check it out for yourself.
Yup. Warming oceans release CO2
In a *normal, natural* cold/heat cycle, yeah, maybe. But this one, now, is NOT natural!
9:42 science is actually really really cool (sometimes literally) and always wild! XD
Love Your videos! Could you please do one about the raising of the Kursk submarine, please?
Please make a video about Bar Lev Line, costing around $300 million in 1973.
This was a fantastic science nerd video. Most Megaprojects videos are, but this is also interesting because ancient history.
Yeah, like LITERALLY "digging" up slices of ancient history. So cool!!
now... i know it isn't super interesting to some people, but delving into some of the more iconical vehicles of ww2 could be amazing, especially the mass produced ones.... the t-34, the m4 sherman or the pz 4
especially the simplicity that was designed into the t-34 was super interesting to me
any planes, trucks or ships could also work...... tanks are just produced in such extreme numbers
Why did this just pop up as new in my feed?
Was sure I had seen it before!!!
10:12 Epica is also an outstanding, magical and truly amazing .. band.
The Deep Sea Drilling Program / International Ocean Drilling Program is a very similarly scaled project. It'd be interesting to see a summary of the history of Ocean Drilling for climate research.
Amazing how these things tells us interesting stuff about Earths past!
Has Simon ever said what brand his shirt is? Looks like it could be Robert Graham, Bugatchi or even Johnston & Murphy. I love that shirt Simon
How about the Vostok ice core samples, what do they say about out past?
Still wanna see you covering Denver International Airport!
I think either here or geographies would be cool, but it’s much more of a mega project than anything!
2nd largest airport in the world, 15th busiest in the world, and surrounded by conspiracy theories, rife with budget overruns, and a beautiful terminal to boot!
I might as well live in Antarctica today, so damn cold out today.
Is it possible to point north while on antarctica? Like we did on normal map. 🤔 Seems like it will point north in different directions for different spot.
you should make a video about the Alcubierre Warp Drive
Hey, Simon! What do you think about doing a Megaprojects video on the mobilization of America at the beginning of WW2?
Simon - have you thought about doing a video on the Los Angeles Aquaduct?
A geographics episode on Lake Vostok would be interesting
Thank you .
Can you do a video on the Shchuka-B (Akula) class submarine or the Kirov class battlecruiser?
I drilled into my freezer in college, and produced an ice core of leftover spaghetti from three years prior. Yep, this process is very effective…
The current temperature where I am is -15° F. The high tomorrow is 0° F. I feel it's balmy out now, after watching this.
In 1990, the IPCC First Assessment Report acknowledged that "Human-made aerosols, from sulphur emitted largely in fossil fuel combustion can modify clouds and this may act to lower temperatures", while "a decrease in emissions of sulphur might be expected to increase global temperatures". Since the 1980s, a decrease in air pollution has led to a partial reversal of the dimming trend, sometimes referred to as global brightening. This global brightening had contributed to the acceleration of global warming which began in the 1990s. n 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns provided a notable "natural experiment", as there had been a marked decline in sulfate and black carbon emissions caused by the curtailed road traffic and industrial output. That decline did have a detectable warming impact: it was estimated to have increased global temperatures by 0.01-0.02 °C (0.018-0.036 °F) initially and up to 0.03 °C (0.054 °F) by 2023, before disappearing. Regionally, the lockdowns were estimated to increase temperatures by 0.05-0.15 °C (0.090-0.270 °F) in eastern China over January-March, and then by 0.04-0.07 °C (0.072-0.126 °F) over Europe, eastern United States, and South Asia in March-May, with the peak impact of 0.3 °C (0.54 °F) in some regions of the United States and Russia.
Simon do one on the C-17 and the FB-111
9:42 I see what you did there Simon! Nice pun 😉
Seems like an expensive way to make popsicles but I have to ask have they ever brought up some yellow snow?
I had no idea the ice cores went back 800,000 years. I have always heard 100,000. Mind blown!
Do a video on the Famous "WIGAN PIER" it's projected maintenance costs for the next 1000yrs is estimated to be about £63.40(or about 50 pies to us locals)
The most common quote when viewing is "Where the hell is it"
can you do a video on the Bismarck?
Please do one on Lake Vostock?
So I'm guessing this alters the timetable for the cycle to start cooling? Or does the self regulating cycle stop?
Yes, it stops, and we end up in a hellscape, with us all dropping dead (well, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren), unless we DO something about it NOW.
@@MaryAnnNytowlwe have to start somewhere so let's start with you. Stop using anything that uses fossil fules and or electricity . Human will destroy human long before it destroys the earth.
all I'm asking myself is: what does 800.000 year old ice taste like in a drink?
a whole lotta regret. The last time I used "ancient" ice in a drink, I had was on the toilet for weeks. Old does not mean clean, just ask any sex-worker.
12:28 - "...located in the north of the continent."
This video is as cold as ice
Satellite data have recently revealed that between 2002 and 2019, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere cooled by 3.1 degrees F (1.7 degrees C ). Mlynczak estimates that the doubling of CO2 levels thought likely by later this century will cause a cooling in these zones of around 13.5 degrees F (7.5 degrees C), which is between two and three times faster than the average warming expected at ground level.

How about Florida's sunshine skyway bridge as a video topic? It took 7-8 yrs to rebuild after being struck in 1980
That's what I was just doing on my last scientific visit to Antarctica, I was sending pictures back to friends being accused of photographing the most boringest things there. Ice core photos and ice cores in storage, I'm nothing if not consistent I guess. Mostly I was one of the scientists studying the cores not drilling them.
That's super cool! (No pun intended, okay maybe a little) what attracted you to that specific field of study? I imagine it's a very tight knit group of researchers and what not who go out there and do that.
@@TheOnlyDamien My area of study is the climate and to understand how it's changing (hint: for the worse) over time. What got me interested in this was I'm just a really gothy nerdy Irish hippy chick and we have no Planet B option. So I'd like to help find a solution where living things can continue living on it's surface.
@@AcydDrop That's an incredible answer thank you! The data from the Ice core stuff has really helped me convince my skeptic father about how things are changing for the worse so it's much appreciated (Along with of course all the amazing science from it, this is just a more personal situation). Thanks for the detailed reply and you're right we have to take care of what we got if not for us then for those that will come after us.
@@AcydDrop Slightly off-topic. Have you read _The Two Mile Time Machine_ ? Is it still relevant? I've been looking for a copy but isn't even in college libraries around here. Would it be worth ordering a used book online?
@@Markle2k I've not read it in quite some time. Probably read it sometime in my teenage years. It was a good read and got me excited about research and climate if I remember right. It's probably a good read if you like science and climate. But I always knew I was going to do involving the planet even when I was a wee girl.
& in the process accelerate the ice cap melting from particulates from motors that land on the pristine white ice. Is this the same principle as spreading coal dust in the last century?
Simon. You should do a mega projects video on Bandai's 1:1 Gundam in Yokohama.
Liked video 👍
Confederation Bridge and SNOLAB please
That’s crazy almost 2miles down???
Do the Shackleton expedition
I feel like you need another lot of channels, eg Megaprojects+Blaze were you record the same video's but blaze your way through them.
the bank between my ears gets robbed all the time...every day lol
This is all well and done, however, it scares me just what they could let loose in the world ..What time kill us?
At 10:50 you said "southeast of the south pole". It took a couple of seconds to hit me, but how do you get souther than the south pole?
oooooo my uncle is one of the scientists heavily involved in ice core drilling!
Megaprojects about Lake Kariba. Please Simon.
Is CZcams adding 4 ads per video or is that you Simon? Because that on top of your sponsored ad is well over the top.
Hmm interesting 🤔. I only had 1 ad other than the Blinkist one.
How many of those shirts does Simon own?
Southeast of the south pole? Had to rewind that one
the ice cores are also the world's oldest popsicles, I wonder how they taste like?
"South East" of the south pool. I think you can't really use south when using the southern most part part of the earth. I think you should use the meridian as a reference point.
hey simon why you don't come on the visual politik channel anymore??
You use Blinkist while doing those tasks.. but I use Simon Whistler channels for the same. lol
simon is too cute when gets exited about science
Hey blinkist, I`d like to see what you are about.
Blinkist: Screw you, pay me!
I just want to know what your product is, get a feel for how it works.
Blinkist: screw you, pay me!
This is my experience and im sick of giving them chances.
Nice
What was the ratio of blinkist ad on this one, 20%
Conclusion: It was cold.
The heat increase on Earth was almost the SAME 150,000 years ago and 350,000 years ago. (By simply looking at a simple graph of heat increase over time this can easily be confirmed.)
I don’t believe that some scientists in Antarctica would get violent over a game of chess lol
Fargin ice holes!
Sumna beech
10:48 I think it's due north of the south pole, isn't it?
Is the smoke coming out of the stack at EPICA not ironic?
