"The only place other than Mastercard HQ that's completely visa-free" lool
Ye that was funny 😄
hahahahahaha you made my year~
you could honestly add the Netherlands
looo...oool
That one caught me off guard 😂
"The only place other than Mastercard HQ that's completely visa-free" is arguably the finest joke ive ever heard
F*** I only got that after typing it into Google
@@coolmonkey619 same here hahaahah
He forgot about Crimea? ))
It's no joke.
Dutch Arctic explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596: "I discovered a previously unknown island in the Arctic zone and gave it the name Spitsbergen. This will be the greatest discovery for European geography"
Also Russians and Vikings on Svalbard in 1194: "First time here?"
Why is it, when somebody thinks erroneously that something is undiscovered, is it always russians and/or vikings that were there first
@@dominichines9996 Arabs and Chinese too, I guess
@@comradekenobi6908 true
@@dominichines9996 Because the vikings were out and about in their boats. Most other nations didn't have the vessels they had. The vikings had a reliable boat that could handle the high waves in the athlantic ocean. Also Norway is a shit territory for farming. Norwegians like exploring new places and are ambitious.
Christopher Columbus thinks he discovers America. Vikings: ''What took you so long?''
I grew up in Longyearbyen. Have visited both the Pyramid (town the Russian had for coal mining, now not inhibited, you wrongly showed some pictures of it), and Barentsburg many times. There's alot of connection between Longyearbyen and Barentsburg. We've often visit each other and have cultural events both in Barentsburg and Longyearbyen ☺️
Thanks for your input. Have you considered making your own video on Svalbard, and/ or specifically the two Russian villages? Your local knowledge could make for an intriguing story and without the errors outsiders tend to make. Give it a thought. Greetings from Denmark.
Some of those photos are from the town Pyramiden the other Russian settlement up there. I feel like you should disclose this better. Visiting Pyramiden is way more interesting as its basically like a visit to Pripyat without the radiation concerns.
Not going to lie this video seemed super brief with very little follow up information and rather than the usual felt half as informative

@@nilNell This video had more jokes.
Basically creates own sponsor to sponsor self
You're mixing up two different Russian cities in Svalbard: Barentsburg and Pyramiden. The last one is (almost) abandoned.
Yes, Pyramiden is not inhabited, it's just for tourism. He's mixing them.
Yeah, I loved the part where he shows pictures of Pyramiden and A MAP WITH PYRAMIDEN WRITTEN ON IT
Ahhhh thats a lie. I mean he said his videos are 100% accurate ain't i right?
@@AltF4GamesClips hahahahaha
No, he's talking about Barentsburg. Pyramiden is completely abandoned. Barentsburg still has about 400 people living there. Like he said.
Hey dude, i`m from Norway, and i know that every transactions in Svalbard has to be done with norwegian money. Meaning that also Barentsburg has to use norwegian money just like the others who live in Norway. They are not alowed to use russian money..
Credit cards exist, so you can technically pay for anything in Norway with whatever currency you have
@@Osteloff Well, yes and no. The currency on your card is converted to NOK when you make the transaction, for which there is a conversion fee that the customer will have to pay and is deduct by your bank. So, you do pay with Norwegian currency regardless of what's on your card.

Or maybe you should have listened when he told you they were potentially there from that early
The vikings found it long ago, the name comes from old norse meaning cold shorse.
Discovered doesn't mean found. It means claimed.
@@goodlovely8513 Yeah... I thinked about that The whole day 😂

Me reading title:
He’s talking about Svalbard
Me watching video:
He’s talking about svalbard
Thomas why second one is with small s
I didnt know he was talking about Svalbard specifically but i figured he was either talking about a fishing village on a Norwegian island near Russia, a mining town leased to Russia, or a research station set up by Russia in the Norwegian Arctic since Russia did a little of all three but i figured the first two would be at least partially Norwegian whereas a research station would likely be a classified area and thus all Russian.

My family came from Russian and Norwegian sailors. My grandfather actually remembers his father and grandfather could speak in Russian, Norwegian and Russenorsk (which is a language formed from amalgamation of the Russian and Norwegian languages do to trade and intermarriage which existed since the 16th century). Due to the Revolution in Russia my family got split up, some chose to stay in Norway others in Russia and they fully assimilated in the country they stayed in. in. The revolution killed the Russenorsk language as well because the liberal trade between the Russians and Norwegians was banned by Soviets.

@@timmtheilig6827 Stop pretending like you care who the source is. There are plenty of well known scientist, such as Dr. Mototaka Nakamura, who refute the climate agenda yet you conveniently ignore them because they represent an inconvenient truth. Science also isn't a democracy so the fact that skeptics are fewer in number is completely irrelevant.
We just barely came from the little Ice Age 150 years ago, of course the Earth is warming up. The Little Ice Age lasted like 300 years. Climate Change is cyclical and we are just in another Warm Period. The Medieval Warm period was before the Little Ice Age and also lasted hundreds of years. We will be fine despite the doomsayers. However pollution is still bad I agree we should stop that.

i took som business classes years ago on opening and running your own business. Most of the class were serious business owners but a few of them were hopeless dreamers that didn't know what they were doing, and that joke reminded me of them. Some of them claimed "we dont have any investors/advertisers so that leaves an opening for you!" and they tried to get people to either give them free advertising or invest in them, their main "incentive" being that because no one else had yet that would leave the investor an opening to get in on the ground floor.

What's really amazing about Barentsburg is that they have upgraded the town greatly in the last 10 years, so often you will see the Lenin statue with an old building behind, but now there are a bunch of colourful buildings, shown in this video.

Sorry to tell you you are mixing two diffrent towns on Svaldbard, Barentsburg is still inhabited and it's mine in use, Pyramiden, named after the Pyramid shaped mountain it's next to, which you refferred to as Bartentsburg with pictures of Pyramiden, is abanndoned. Pyramiden is the one that was the Soviet example town. There are also far more Ukranians than Russians in Barentsburg
Cool facts, Pyramiden was originally a swedish town. Founded by Sweden in 1910 and sold to the Soviet Union in 1927.

He orderd beer before the trip, we drank vodka and beer in a Hotel in Barentsburg and continued our journey to a place I can recall the name...it was a full day trip with a snowmobile! Best time to go is April, because you have snow, it's cold...but for a short time there is day and night in Svalbard!

You messed up again! There were two Russian towns. One called Barentsburg, other called Pyramid. And Pyramid was the Soviet paradise with swimming pool and cinema, but there was hardly anything from that in Barentsburg
The other (Pyramiden, not Pyramid) was also a showpiece for the Soviet Union but no longer exists, at least as a functioning, normal town, which is why this video focuses on Barentsburg.
But yeah, to be fair, looks like the editor did mess up and use Pyramiden's photos in that section which I didn't catch. Both towns still did exist as showpieces, though.
@@halfasinteresting you know that Norwegian royal family visited Pyramiden a few years ago, when it was already uninhabited. They even played football in old Soviet gym

In Russia we call theese isles “Spitsbergen”.
And in English as well. Apparently its name was changed to Svalbard in 1925, but at school we were told to call it Spitzbergen ( which has just tripped off nicely in predictive text on my English language phone!)
The largest island is still called 'Spitsbergen' in Norway.

Svalbard is the archipelago, and Spitsbergen is the largest island.

2) My only real complaint though is that it's set up to play newest to oldest rather than oldest to newest. Idk about you, personally I've never been a fan of reading/listening to a story beginning with the last chapter and ending with the first.

In response to the assertions that climate has always been changing throughout Earth's history, and that the current change is only part of the natural cycle based on changes in solar radiation:
It’s true that the Earth has a natural cycle of warming and cooling for total average temperature. This cycle lasts roughly 100,000 years, and matches up with the frequency of ice ages (the reason for this is explained in the following section). The cycle consists of a 10,000 year period of rapid warming, followed by 90,000 years of gradual cooling. There are two points that are important to note, however. The first is that historic global temperatures have been very closely linked with CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. During the past eight cycles, the highest record of CO2 concentration was 300 ppm, and the lowest concentration was between 180 and 200 ppm during each ice age (climate.gov). The second is that whenever a relative CO2 maximum is reached, it signals the start of the global cooling process - at least normally. In 1950, the CO2 concentration had already reached 300 ppm. Today, it is at 400 ppm, meaning that in the past 70 years it has increased to double the amount that would be expected in a cycle that normally takes 10,000 years to achieve this change. Regardless of any debate over whether this change is caused by humans, this is not normal. As previously mentioned, the relative maximum in 1950 should have been the beginning of a cooling trend. However, the average temperature has been increasing at a constant rate since 1976, and is currently 0.8°C higher than the average shown by global temperature record from the past 140 years (since the invention of the thermometer). This temperature anomaly is expected to continue growing (climate.gov).
Regarding an argument that our climate is changing because of the sun: this would refer to the Milankovitch cycle. This cycle has three driving forces that cause the global climate to vary by changing the total amount of energy Earth receives from the Sun, as well as where that energy is absorbed geographically. I will explain how these work, and demonstrate that based on our current point in this periodic cycle, conditions should be heading in the opposite direction than what we are currently seeing. The three parts of the Milankovitch cycle are axial obliquity, axial precession, and orbital eccentricity. Orbital eccentricity is simply the concept that the shape of our orbit around the sun slowly alternates between being closer to a circle, and being more elliptical. Sometimes this is falsely believed to cause the seasons. While it is an important factor, seasons are caused by Earth’s axial obliquity (also called tilt), which changes what parts of the Earth receive the most sunlight over each year. The Northern hemisphere gets more during local summer, and the Southern hemisphere gets more during local winter. The reason orbital shape is important is that it changes how extreme or mild the seasonal changes are. Variation in which way our axis is pointing means that sometimes Earth is tilted toward the sun when it’s closest, but sometimes it’s tilted towards the sun when it is far away. This variation in where our tilt points is called axial precession. These factors combine to form a cycle that alternates from mild seasonal changes to extreme seasonal changes and back again. However, our current position in this cycle predicts that our seasonal variations should have been at their most extreme 10,000 years ago, and that the current trend should be moving towards milder variation. Observed global trends show this is not the case.

Plot twist: HaI is actually an alter ego of Varlamov
Svallbard even has another Dutch town named Rijpsburg, I visites it during my reaseach on the polar willow. Great video btw!
Had to google it, but Rijpsburg is a really old abandoned mining settlement, which there are plenty of on Svalbard. I wouldn't really call it a town :)
@@LinniC93 That's true! its currently a collapsed shack and a hut, but when it was a mining settlement it had a few prefab huts. It's some fun history! :)
@@stephen_g Yeah, Svalbard is full of old mining history! Many people who tried (and failed) to start successful mining operations. It's fascinating to see the remains from that bygone era.
Lol, never tired of HAI's humour
It's like _the_ reason that this channel is so good

Best response to a climate change denier: "You're wrong"
There isn't an argument to make because science isn't opinion based.
George Bell you’re wrong
The governments of the world must be really worried, seeing how drastically they've cut their expenses in order to reduce their carbon emissions. I have to commend them in showing us plebs how it's done!
Climate change is real. Of course the Earth is warming up again, it's barely been 150 years since the little Ice Age. Before that was the medieval Warm Period. We are now entering another Warm Period. The Earth is not dying however and the doomsayers are wrong. They were wrong a thousand times before and are wrong now. Climate change is cyclical and happens without our help. Wasn't just 50 years ago the fear of another Ice Age?
Funny how all rich people shouting climate change are buying sea front houses
@@bumblingbureaucrat6110 Isn't it confusing that the warming up perfectly aligns with the invention of cars and planes, the wars, and mass electricity use? If you aren't a troll then you would say "It's just a coincidence" but it isn't you unicycled elephant
LMAO A PYRAMID SCHEME BUT EVERY PART OF THE PYRAMID IS ME 😂
