Who do you think should own Antarctica?
Like for the penguins from Madagascar
Czech Republic
Me
sealand
Sealand because ice is just frozen water!
nobody
France: I'm just gonna take this lil piece here
This is la politesse
Lol like the one modest one when they're sharing cake
then Australia politely claiming everything around it
@@theconvict4843 actually it was claimed by the british empire but was split between different nations in the empire for some reason.
When it's the most far country to the Antarctica
I can see china claiming Antarctica in few years saying it was a part of ancient Chinese territory.
And it won't be a surprise coming from them.
Even the Spratley island was claimed by them
About 15 years ago we ordered some early reader story books through a Canadian public school book fundraising program. The books arrived from China in a box that also included an unexpected "free gift". It was a metal globe "piggy bank" about 4-5" diameter. I thought this was nice but before I gave it to my ~ 5 year old daughter I looked carefully at the labelling. The labels read like "China" ruled about 40 to 60% of the world, including all of the stations in Antarctica, and even some in the Arctic! Needless to say I didn't give it to my daughter, I only wish I had shown it to the school board with my concerns for the exposure of our children to this propaganda.
Dealer U. Imperialist progoganda. That would probs not survive in China right now because of communism and if it is old then the culture revolution probs would get it away
looking at the South China Sea...
Norway is the only country that is both in the Arctic and Antarctic
Nope. Because no one own Antarctica
@@TheBarser The Bouvet Island is not part of the Antarctic Treaty, but a regular overseas posession.
@@hkrohn Never head of it, but had to google. It is not in the antarctic (but close). Just an uninhabited rock in the south Atlantic.
@@TheBarser Yup, it's in fact further from the South Pole than the ENTIRETY of Denmark is from the North Pole.
Bouvet Island is technically the most "tropical" posession of Norway.
the us has alaska which is in the arctic and it has science base in the antarctic
"Cool" video
Are you proud of that pun?
Cuz you should be
LOL
That's ''punny''.
Bro Antarctic cool
I know right it's very n"ice"
Countries who claim Antarctica: Claims Antarctica
Also countries who claim Antarctica: Signs Antarctic treaty which makes their claims illegitimate
Also countries who claim Antarctica: Let’s just keep our claims anyway
Basically a yesn't agreement
rather typical human behavior...
The treaty doesn't make claims illegitimate, it just put them on hold and forbids new claims
It's not up to us it's up to the penguins
penguin
Yes
Hope Australia isn’t beaten out of Antarctica by penguins like how they were defeated by emus
Penguins: imma move to Greenland and see the polar bears
Killer e: k?
The Penguins shall be the Rulers of Antarctica.
Antarctica is rightful Penguin Empire clay. Isn't that right, Kowalski?
WHY DO I ALWAYS SEE YOUR COMMENTS (and Kim Jong Un comments also)
@@dudamonas2450 just some guy without a moustache
“Those penguins are psychotic.”
Duarte Coelho same I see his comments everywhere, especially on swiss001
Yes, Skipper!
As you said, Chile and Argentina's claims can be traced back to colonial times, but most people agree that the modern claims date back to at least 1906 when both countries started discussing where should their borders be in the Antarctic Peninsula. What happened in 1940 is that Chile formalized the limits of their antarctic claim through a decree but the claim is way older than that decree.
Exacty, it can be traced back to the Treaty of Tordesillas
@@PatricioHondagneuRoig That was signed in 1494.
@@PatricioHondagneuRoig But both Chile and Argentina belonged to Spain
If the border was between Argentina/Perú and Brazil then yes the Treaty of Tordesillas would have done an impact.
You should do the Arctic next. Much more controversial and topical.
good idea!
Ah, yes. From Russia wanting to alter their maritime border to Trump wanting to buy Greenland. A whole new can of worms!
@@lewatoaofair2522 Exactly, don't forget about Svalbard and the island dispute between Denmark and Canada! (Hans Island)
Northwest Passage
You misspelled "tropical"
Funny enough, there is a micronationalist named Travis McHenry, who claimed Marie Byrd Land in 2001 as the Grand Duchy of Westarctica, with himself as the Grand Duke of Westarctica. Micronations are fascinating and you should do a video on them.
It's on my list! To talk about the most interesting ones

The Argentine flan is of one of the provinces, at least I think so. Everything that we get here that comes from the southern most province called "Tierra del fuego" (land of the fire) has that flag on it
Yes, It's the flag of tierra del fuego. This is becasue the complete name of Tierra del Fuego Is Tierra Del Fuego, Antártida e Islas del Atlántico Sur ( Tierra del Fuego, refering to the island, Antartica and isles of the South Atlantic, refering to Malvinas). The "Antártida Argentina", as we call it, is a domain of this province
@@guidofurman6545 The flag of Chile too !! That flag is from the "Magallanes y Antártica Chilena" region.
yes! this is correct
@@guidofurman6545 a little correction, isles of the south atlantic also owns
"south Georgia" and "south Sandwich" islands :D
Btw, the first argentine base in Anctartica was built in 1904
Btw Argentina is the cloest country to Antarctica.
@@ZackWolfMusic btw no its chile. Not by far tho
Meanwhile here in Brazil watch theses discussion beteween Argentina and Chile,we claim a land of interest,the great question is:WHY WE NEED ANTARCTICA??
Justified only Chile and Argentina can controll the Antarctica,
The Argentine presence in Antarctica dates back to 1908 and is uninterrupted to this day in the same area.
@@mb1326 That's the only way British people get what they want. Bravo 👏
You should also claim the unclaimed part of the Antarctica as well. After all it's never enough for the empire 👍
I hope karma will make you pay some day for all what you have stolen around the world.
@@mb1326 Don't worry about me, I'm perfectly fine 👍 Time will show I'm right. Empires don't last forever.
Better get hurry to colonize the moon and mars too haha.
It goes farther back just like first sea voyagers to land in America - the same South Pacific Islanders got there before everyone else
@@mb1326 It doesn't sound like anything, I'm just quoting a fact. I have no intention to discuss such a thing, at least I bother to learn other languages and get to know other cultures, I am not interested in carrying a rifle for war, war is a business of a few who make many believe that they fight for the homeland when in reality they kill and die for economic resources for those few.
@@aftech7268 I totally agree, I was just quoting a historic fact.
We all know it belongs to Belgium. I call it the Antarctic Free State

Antarktikos literally means "opposite the bear". This is because the arctic was named after the constellation ursa major (big bear) which is located to the North in the night sky. It's also a great way to remember that polar bears don't live in Antarctica.
I heard something like this and came to the comments to see if it was true. Except that I heard the arctic was named after the polar bears themselves and not Ursa Major
0:26 “min 89c”
That’s hot as hell!
I wonder if it was supposed to be -89°C or maybe 89°K
@@Fetch26291 it was -89°C
@@BlaudracheLP Think that was a rhetorical question
I know that Chile and Argentina aren't the best of friends, but they totally could kick the UK of their overlapping territory.
They couldn't because the UK would beat Argentina and Chile would probably want to keep its good relations with the UK.
Always learning with this channel! Great video!
Argentina had established in 1904 your first settlement in Antarctica...
@@mb1326 I would take that as a way to recognize that the British stole the Malvinas. That's so nice coming from a British 👍
@@mb1326 argentina is almost 20 times bigger that england, and dont have muslims . btw good luck with the islamization
Great video dude!
My sister actually asked me "what is the deal with Antarctica?" about a month ago. So, for the first time, i'm glad with youtube's algorithm and this recommendation.
You have gain yourself a new subscriber ❤
Nazis control it say it to your sister
Argentina founded their first base and claimed it in 1904. The date of 1943 corresponds to the official formation of the Tierra del Fuego province, including antartic claimed territories in it
0:27 Yes 89 degree celcious is very cold
Penguins: FREEEEEEEDOM free us or die
i like your Rio accent bro ! Cheers from Montréal, Québec !
Your videos are informative ❤️
Argentina construyó en 1904 la primera base Antártica y ya reclamaba para ese entonces la porción territorial, en 1943 incluye el territorio Antártico dentro de la provincia de tierra del fuego pero el reclamo fue en 1904.
Hay desinformación diciendo que Argentina, uno de los países más cercanos al continente, fue de los últimos en hacer un reclamo, cuando en realidad fue de los primeros.

I think Argentina would get spanked out by the English and Americans.
If you ever wondered why Norway have the name for our claimed area of Antarctica, then it comes from our former Queen Maud, who was our first queen after independence and grandmother to our current King Harald V. Queen Maud was again granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the British Empire..
Last time I was this early Antarctica hadn't been discovered yet.
Last time I was this early Big Bang didn't happened.
When he said France, I knew the UK would be next cos u know they watch and follow the French
Well the Norwegians and British explored the region before anyone else but didn't make any claims until later.
You trying to trigger the British?
Every county: Antarctica is mine!

Randomly having the Norwegian «Ja vi elsker dette landet»/ Yes we love this country
Note exactly sure what you mean, but Ja vi elsker is not played in the background here. If you meant that it should be the national anthem on Antarctica, well, yes, of course it should!
Einar Bolstad of course IT should!
I didn't hear it, but I heard "Vi ere en nasjon vi med...".
Nice video 👌👍
good work
Arctica doesn't mean North but the constellation of the great bear.
Its tail being shaped like a bow (arc) which leads to the star named Arcturus.
Amazing, Thanks you
Uninhabited? What do the king penguins say about that? The penguins all speak Norwegian, so this is clearly Norway, so now I'll be visiting all the research barracks and claim taxes om all their alcohol. (The secret key to Norways sucess)
Argentina claim their part of Antártica since 1904 not 1943
On the Equinox the globe model makes a startling claim. Everywhere the the Sun rises it does so due East and sets due West That is great for anybody who does not like maths as the Flat+Still bearing is increasingly North of due East / West as you move Southwards from the North pole. Thus on the Equinox you need only check if it sets really close to or exactly on due West. It is a globe if it does so and Flat+Still if it sets significantly further North. If it sets further South I have no idea what shape the Earth is.
I am supremely glad that Mainland China has no claims on Antarctica.Who knows what HAVOC they would cause there.
Wait for it, until they find oil.
U.S.A : *So anyway i started claiming*
Recent discovery shows us that Antarctica had lush forests and animals in the past, so there is a chance of huge oil and coal reserves there.
Kk
Do you watch OT (Ozbiljne Teme) bc he posted the same vid 5-6 days ago lol?
Please talk about sancak! Its very importent for people to know about that region in serbia
Here we are taught since we're little that Chile is a "tricontinental country" because we have land in America, Antarctica and Oceania (because of Easter Island), it's pretty stupid if you ask me
Why is it stupid?
Secretary of Antarctic Treaty is in Buenos Aires and Argentina has the longest uninterrupted presence in Antartica (Orcadas Base since 1904). Jfyi.
6:53 *There are no accidents*
Antartica should be labeled as international land. No country should control or own the continent

Since you tried reading "Uti possidetis iuris" in Latin, you should have also done it for "Terra Australis", instead of Portuguese. Anyway, very interesting information.
Actually, even if he read in portuguese it wouldn't change
I think one day powerful countries will take hold of the continent.
HMS Erberus,,, the UK drops the mic!
Currently, 6 countries in the world are claiming land from Antarctica
so you could say the Treaty "froze" the claims;-.)

During WWII the Germans took control over Queen Maud Land (Norwegian territory) and I believe that the area which they called Neuschwabenland was the most integrated of any attempt of antarctic "colonization"
Do a vid about the arctic please.
This is very interesting 🤔

Yes! You even look like a penguin!

So even though a number of big countries has claims, most of it is part of the commonwealth. I guess old habits die hard
The sun never sets on the Commonwealth or Christmas time in Antarctica. Realisticaally if you want to control antarctica you will need to use ports in Chile, NZ, South Africa or my home which is Australia. Could we ask that the superpowers keep their nuclear war contained to the top half of the planet please. Limit yourselves to just melting the arctic.
@@stephenharvey4138 you also have the falklands as well so I think the british will be relocating if a nuclear war happens.

this might be a crazy idea but i think we should create a new country in a small part of Antarctica and send people who can live in the cold
Arktos in Greek means bear, not north. North is Voreios.(Βόρειος, the beta was pronounced as a B in classical Greek.) And the latinized forms can be found in the scientific name for the Brown bear: Ursus arctos [literally: bear bear) and the Northeren lights, Aurora Borealis.
So Antarctica means "Where there are no bears", and there are none there, not even polar bears (Ursus maritimus)

I'm surprised that you didn't mention Neuswaben Land the area of Antarctic claimed by Germany in the late 1930's - especially as it had its own flag!
