I love your work and know that you need to funding to continue, but if you are in a position to be selective about who you advertise I would ask that you look into criticisms of betterhelp. They have a history of false advertising, breaches of privacy and predatory practices. In this day and age that is more the rule than the exception, however since they are specifically targeting vulnerable people there is an extra layer of evil to it.

@8:16 - I laughed at this time stemp, as those are golden raisins, not chunks of amber.
Usually, in school, the geological history of the Baltic Sea, the world's largest inland brackish sea, starts with the end of the ice age about 10-15 KA and tells about its different stages before it became the current sea about 4,000 years ago.
However, the geological history of the Baltic Sea is much, much older and began when the Baltic plate subducted against the Laurentia (North American) plate around 400-450 Ma. At that time, the western Scandian orogeny and the central plate depression were born on the plate, which became important millions of years later. But from the Cambrian period to the Silurian period, there was a shallow sea in the middle of the Baltic plate, which began to be filled by erosion from sediments from the Scandian mountains.
During the Cretaceous period, based on the discoveries in Kristianstad basin 86.3-71.3 Ma, there were dinosaurs such as theropods, leptoceratopsids, hypsilophodonts, hadrosaurids, iguanodontids and hesperornitheans who roamed the area as well as pterosaurs, mosasaurs, tylosaurs, plesiosaurs and crocodiles. In addition, there were two local meteor impacts, one on Dellen (~89 MA) and a later one on Lappajärvi (~78 MA) before the more famous K-Pg event.
Around 40 MA, by the Eocene period, a wide plain had formed at the site of the more ancient depression. The plain was dominated by the amber-producing coniferous forest that covered it and through it flowed the "Baltic River System" now called as Eridanos. This Eridanos river ran along the previously mentioned depression to the Polish coast and later to the coast of the Netherlands because the river pushed its delta forward and the sea level also started to drop.
Then began the Quaternary ice ages 475-370 KA (Elster, Saale and Weichselian, and between them the interglacials Holstein and Eem) and the glacier scooped out the old river bed several times. And between those ice ages it was filled with water like, for example, the Eemian Sea during the Eemian interglacial period about 127 KA.
That would sum up the usually untold part of the geological history of the Baltic Sea.
Thanks! I have read a lot on Baltic sea but had never stumbled on to the early formation. Just always theres lake and then it does shapeshifting 😅
Surprised no mention of Hanseatic League.
No-one expects mention of Hanseatic League.
Even more strange is no mention of the different sea life in the sea. Nature doesn't seem to matter.
I thought so, too.
@@DavidOfWhitehills 😀
@@DavidOfWhitehills I sure did expect it. It was a pretty big deal, as it was THE major Trading/Political Union in Europe before the EU, and the Baltic Sea was it's core.
Kattegat and the straits of Denmark, are not the Baltic sea. The International Hydrographic Organization defines the limits of the Baltic Sea as follows:
Bordered by the coasts of Germany, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, it extends north-eastward of the following limits:
In the Little Belt. A line joining Falshöft (54°47′N 9°57.5′E) and Vejsnæs Nakke (Ærø: 54°49′N 10°26′E).
In the Great Belt. A line joining Gulstav (South extreme of Langeland Island) and Kappel Kirke (54°46′N 11°01′E) on Island of Lolland.
In the Guldborg Sound. A line joining Flinthorne-Rev and Skjelby (54°38′N 11°53′E).
In the Sound. A line joining Stevns Lighthouse (55°17′N 12°27′E) and Falsterbo Point (55°23′N 12°49′E).
Great video, but damn the loud cut at 2:53 scared the hell out of me
Name change to lake nato.
11:14 your Areal footage does not show the Kiel Canal in Germany, but the Nordslzeecanal in the Netherlands.
Peculiar that you used the Danish names for all the islands, except for Sjælland where you used the English Zealand.
Great comments and superb video!
I like very much your animation (time line bar and map including a black line showing the shoreline).
Informative. Thanks.
Great stuff! Thanks.
Very interesting!
Thank you.
Excellent. I'd have liked to learn a bit more about the salinity and resulting ecology, plus the bathymetry, but that's just me. I did learn loads and thank you.
There is system of dams near St Petersburg that close eastern part of Gulf of Finland during storms. I think it is very cool engineering structure
great video!
Geographical error in the video: What you called the southern quark is actually called the northern quark. The southern quark is located between the islands of Åland and Sweden. The northern quark is the narrow strait between Sweden and Finland that divides the Gulf of Bothnia into the Bothnian Sea and the Bay of Bothnia.
Cheers 🍺
About capitals and former capitals, you forgot to mention the former capital of Finland, Turku.
Great video! Learned a lot!
Lived near Baltic Sea my whole life.
That was fascinating!
Great information about the Baltic and adds greatly to my own knowledge, thanks 👍
If you're interested there's a lot more to learn, especially when it comes to history.
The whole region has had a lot of interaction over the years influencing each other a lot.
Like how the Kalmar union was formed to counter the Hanseatic League for instance.
Yeah the geographic description helped with some different historical associations I've learned over the years, a very interesting piece of land so to speak ...thx. ✌️
Thank you for the info. I got to experience a bit if the Baltic by riding the ferry from Helsinki to Tallin. Then while in Lithunia on the spit we got so close to the Russian border one phone thought we were in Russia.
I was unaware of the Kiel Canal. Thank you.
Great video
Watching from Saint Petersburg😊 Nice content, keep it up!
great video
i love that you are sponsored in this video, i love watching your videos and its so exciting to see your channel grow, keep it up homie! :D
My favorite sea good to see it covered
You like it better than the Tasman Sea? Interesting.
@@drmodestoesq Yeah because it's shape looks so intresting, as if some person was holding their gun and peeing
8:17 did you just show a picture of raisins and said this is amber?
Kudos for not only transitioning into the ad but also transitioning out of it.
8:19 those are raisins
Liked how you pronounced Rügen :)
Great video! A typo: Tallinn is written with two L's. Just an additional curiosity of the Baltic sea: East of Öland is the deepest point of the Baltic Sea, Landsort Deep, and it is 459 metres deep
are we sure that are amber pieces at 8:18 an not just raisins?
Raisins, reisin... who cares... ;)
Mineral enthusiast here. Yes. Those *are* in fact raisins. xD
mm, hungry
@@paulkalupnieks No, they don't border the baltic.
Nice video! Too bad you missed the Göta Canal. :)
You might do a video on the North and Baltic coastlines as described in Erskine Childers spy classic, _The Riddle of the Sands._
Great video! Wold Göta canal running through sweden also be considered one of the great engineering projects of the region or is it too small?
Baltic amber is from Eocene forests, not Pleistocene.
"Whoever controlled the Danish straits has often levied a toll".
The Danish straits have always been controlled by Denmark and never by anyone else.
Do you want to count WWII?
had no idea that the baltic sea had such a storied recent geologic history
i like ur channel
Watching this from Pirita Beach on Tallinn Bay. Funny.
Kattegat is normally not considered as a part of the Baltic
I would call it a part of the North Sea.
Nice calm video. More videos on youtube like this plz
Advice: your glitch trabsition doesnt fit the calm speech, video and music.
Why do people still shill for betterhelp after it's been proven to be shitty. Do some research before accepting a sponsor please
My God, imagine trying to put down someone for trying to help.
Sounds like you have an overabundance of "help"
Better help saves lives, there are men EVERYWHERE that need some kind of help, and better help is an open door to those who need it.
Grow up
betterhelp doesnt help tho
@@jbrogert"trying to help"? It's a for-profit company. It has, as the comment mentioned, been proven to be shitty. Why do you support them?
@@jbrogerta """licensed therapist""" who isn't licensed and doesn't even answer calls while taking your money doesn't help much, man.
@@aabbccdd4710 better than being stuck in a panic having a non-stop panic attack.
Do you even hear yourself? You act like they're going to be a 5 star therapy service for whatever $20/no they charge.
This is like never buying a vehicle because someone else reported that they don't like to drive.
0:48 I’d say Kattegat north of the Danish straits is considered to be a bay of the North Sea and not a part of Baltic Sea. The salinity is completely different from the salinity in the Baltic Sea.
The baltic sea starts east of Öresund, the Kattegatt is not a part of it.
Sounds like a high school lecture
Please do Fergana Valley next.
Surprised you did not mention the Stockholm Archipelago which is significantly larger than the one in Finland. And the other archipelagos.
Or Göta Kanal when he mentioned other canals.
The Öresund Bridge was not mentioned either.
Not saying the Stockholm Archipelago doesn't deserve a mention, it certainly does. But, how do you mean it's significantly larger? The Stockholm Archipelago has 34 000 islands, while the Finnish Archipelago has more than 50 000 islands. Also, the Finnish Archipelago is spread out on an obviously much larger surface area, so what definition would you apply to point out it's larger? Even in Swedish Wikipedia it says about Stockholms skärgård: "Den räknas som Sveriges största skärgård och den näst största i Östersjön, efter Skärgårdshavet i sydvästra Finland."
@@SaunaFinland That is very true. But the entire video did fail to menion annyhing abou sweden at almost every chance it had to mention it. He stopped talking about the coast right as he was done with finland and as stated above he failed to mention a single project in sweden like göta kanal. The fact that sweden has the most islands in the world is also an interesting fact that he somehow failed to mention, mentioning that would have done the same thing as mentioning finlands big archepelego but in a much better way.. The entire video seemed to have been made by a danish person that never really got the memo that our countries are no longer enemys but friends 😂
@@maxgronros6728 I agree. There was pitifully little about Sweden, which is a shame, because Sweden is an amazing country with beautiful seascapes. I think the video would have been much improved by a brief review about the history of the Baltic Sea in which Sweden plays a dominant role, the sea fortresses they built, the naval battles, and so on.
@@SaunaFinland That would have been a great addition
Bug is my river❤
So you are from Galicia ay:D?
You forgot about Göta Kanal cuts through Sweden and enables a connection from the east coast of sweden to the west coast city of Gothenburg.
Just a couple of English language quibbles: remnant is pronounced Rem-nint, not Rem-i-nant. It's only two syllables, not three. Canal is KA-nal, not can-nill, or some such. 😊
You got as confused as the presenter. In all dialects of English and even in American, canal is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable, never the first as you and he have it.
Betterhelp advertisement, that's very uncalled for
A good explanation as to what contributed to the hydrocarbon rich North sea; an ancient river delta.
Please stop promoting Better Help. They are not a good company and sell your information (ALL OF IT)
NATO lake*
It reminds me of the Great Lakes in rhe US. They are of course fresh water and the Baltic salt water but the proximity of the Baltic to si many countries is similiar to the Great Lakes proximity to several States and Canada.
Hmm?.. I wonder, on what grounds do you consider the Baltic sea/Kattegatt to extend that far north of the northern tip of Denmark on the Swedish side?..🤔 Personally, I wouldn't consider Kattegat to reach further north than about Marstrand, & that would be pretty generous..🤔🧐
Greetings from the BIG SKY. An interesting part of earth.
Montana or Saskatchewan?
@@drmodestoesq Greetings from the BIG SKY. Montana.
Baltic sea looks like a Priest holding a gun
The Baltic Sea (Baltiske Hav) is called Østersøen in danish and Kattegat is not a part of it.
This is great stuff, but I have to tell you: the fact that you put sponsorship ads in the middle of the video has prevented me from subscribing. If you'd move them to the end, I'd reconsider. 🤷♀️
Why does the Baltic Sea look like the Pharoah of Upper Egypt (bowling pin crown) sitting on the ground, with a scarf flying behind him in high winds?
You should consider reworking this video.. Kattegatt is not considered to be apart of the Baltic Sea. You're basically not mentioning anything about the longest coastline in the Baltic (the Swedish) which also holds the world's greatest amount of islands of any nation? Showing raisins instead of amber stone? Not mentioning the sea's importance in history/trade like the vikings or Hanseatic League? No mentioning of the Öresunds-bridge which also connects Sweden and Denmark? Maybe have an angle of the issue of pollution in the sea?
Good point
A lot of work went into this but you should have had it fact checked as there are way too many errors and omissions, most of which your kind viewers have pointed out in the comments. I think it is interesting enough to be worth redoing; and maybe this time include Sweden in the story, as well as the unique and now highly threatened marine ecology.
The Amber sea
cannot believe you showed grapes instead of amber...
You got the boundaries of the Baltic Sea wrong.
Like a man playing the guitar
Not even mentioned Märket :(
Why does it look like a ghost playing a guitar

Better help has been reported to basicly be a scam.
You got the geography wrong! The Baltic Sea doesn’t include Kattegat. The Baltic Seas borders is at the Danish Belts and Sounds!
Back to school old chap!
As a person growing up by Kattegatt and now living in Öresund it hurts my identity that you claim both of these water masses are part of the Baltic sea😂 salty westcoast swedes have always looked down upon the brackish 😅 youre not wrong though, but it _feels_ wrong :p
3.5 deepth funny
Kattegatt isn't a part of the Baltic Sea!

It's also where Nord Stream pipelines 1&2 were bombed, by the same authorities that tell us to reduce our carbon footprint.
British Isles? The islands of Britain and Ireland haven't been referred to as The British Isles since the establishment of the Republic of Ireland in 1949. Any geographer knows that you have to update your maps or become obsolete.
Wikipedia still has a page for "British Isles"
@@XGD5layer There's a weirdo British guy on Wikipedia who insists on re-editing Irish pages to refer to Ireland as a "British" Isle. He's had articles written about him in Irish newspapers. Apparently he can't be stopped as he's been on Wikipedia for years. Its insulting to Irish people to use the term ""British" Isles. The term is never used in ireland, and most Irish people loathe it.
Advert in the middle of the video
And it's a NATO lake
Dope video. Don't accept more sponsorships from Better Help though. That company is cancer and most CZcams creators refuse to work with them.
No. He should take their money and use it for good.
Lol who are u to tell another grown man not to take money from someone
Don't gabble please !
You lost all credibility when you showed raisins when talking about Amber.
its not baltic sea, its called NATO Sea
Too complicated and reaching too far into the past! This whole Baltic Sea area is a global hotspot today since the Russian aggression in 2022! Not one mention of NATO nor of Sweden + Finland abandoning their neutrality joining NATO in the past 2 years? Shame!
Is this a person of a modified AI voice? please be a person please be a person
You missed a massive opportunity to make this video more interesting by showing far more pictures of locations within the Baltic Sea rather than just poorly animated map. Most of your video turned out to be actually about your sponsor when it came to video images. Disappointing.
Dude doesn’t respond to viewers👎
