Scott of the Antarctic - Objectivity 74 

That great map is in such good condition, what a relief.

It's so cool to see these old pictures.

Saw Keith the other night on PBS's Franklin's Bones. He was the best thing about the documentary.

And to think, Grey doesn't know anything about this... what a shame ;)

That panorama picture made me think of the pictures we're getting from Mars. The explorers back then were the astronauts of their time, but even more courageous in my opinion. And I think astronauts are over the top of the courage scale. I really hope I'll see human explorer on Mars in my lifetime, even seeing people back on the moon would be fantastic.

I just love how Brady seems to enjoy making these videos. The enjoyment adds a lot to any thing done. And I absolutely loved that south pole map. Especially since it shows together Tierra del Fuego, Australia and Africa, which in all conventional maps are shown pretty far from each other. I've been in Tierra del Fuego and let me tell you, it still felt as far (if not farther) from those places as Buenos Aires. I love when maps show things that are often thought otherwise.

Brady makes the best videos on you tube.

Great Scott!

2:52 "A whole bunch of sleeping penguins there" My sides are in orbit

There needs to be a video trip to Dundee to see Discovery now.

That's amazing, thank you, Brady! Glorious tall ship

Holy crap, Objectivity has less than 100k Subscribers?! Nonsense!

Most likely those sleeping penguins are still asleep up until now, must have been a tired bunch.

Keep em comin brady!

Another great video.

Well, now I can't claim to have no clue who he is. Well played

When you see those purple gloves, you can for sure recognize who's in charge here...

btw, love your videos! keep up the great work!

Now the Discovery is in Dundee, of all places! :)

Sleeping penguins!? Have to love your brit humor!

I knew about Scott of the Antarctic before the episode of Hello Internet.

Fantastic video and amazing photos. Not to mention the map!! Stunning :) PS: what a neat haircut, Brady, loving it! Want to take a picture of it and share it? :P

I think Keith is mistaken about that map. It appears to be a map of the Antarctic continent and glaciers, not the ice shelves. It is indeed an accurate map if you exclude all the ice shelves. So it has nothing to do with melt. Anyway, although Antarctic ice sheets have lost quite a bit of ice volume, most of it is merely reduced thickness of the sheets, not reduced area. In fact, the area of the some sheets may have been growing somewhat over the past decade or so. Most of the ice loss is actually land ice from the peninsula, not sea ice from the shelves.

5:45 'How it looked': it has changed that much! And if it has it wouldn't show at that scale.

aaahhhh antarctica is so fascinating! i can't pinpoint why i think so. i heard that eventually (maybe this winter? winter in the northern hemisphere i mean so it'd be summer there) my university is going to be offering a study abroad program to antarctica but i graduated a year ago D: on the other hand idk if i'd actually have the guts to do it, and i don't remember what the program was for. but still.

After this video Grey will be able to stop anyone in the street and they'll have heard of Scott

how much of this video was a dig aimed at grey :P

Are those pictures digitized anywhere? Is the Royal Society working on digitizing everything?

show this to grey. the ignorant.

Scott of the Antarctic is famous

Antarctica doesn't look much different. It has been changing at the same rates it has been since the end of the last ice age, and changes a little each decade, but the permanent ice that is unaffected by small changes is probably identical to the way it looked 100 years ago.

Ponting was the photographer on the Terra Nova expedition. Wasn't the photographer on the Discovery expedition called Skelton ?

Was any of those sleeping penguins called Grey ?

Could one of those penguins be a distant ancestor of CGP Grey the adopted penguin? If so, Scott himself (whom Grey was ignorant of) may have encountered such an ancestor. That's a curious thought isn't it, when you think, years later...

Who is Scott? I've never heard of him

Those penguins weren't sleeping they were murdered!

As a Northerner, you also pack snow against structures for insulation.

yeeee!

Scott who!

After watching every deepsky video I've finally watched every objectivity one! Looking forwards to more, and getting though some more periodic videos in time for A2 Chemistry exam...

Speaking of frigid expeditions, is there anything there in the Royal Society archives regarding the doomed Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage? I have a special, near life long fascination with that particular event for reasons that I've never quite managed to put my finger on. Anyway, surely there must be something, right?

Alternate Title: The CGP Grey Rant

Hmmmm, Robert Scott... I've never heard of him.

Need to get a lint roller Brady.

Was that a direct reference to Rime of the Ancient Mariner? Nice

Have these pictures been digitized, and if so are they available online? If they haven't been, what are we waiting for!

@5:52 Here I fixed this for you: "If you find Antarctica as fascinating as I do and want to find out more, go to CGP Greys channel."

Is anyone else waiting for Scott of the Arctic? #TomScottGo

Go Adelaide!

I'm surprised that map doesn't label the as of then future site of the MBS in Adelaide

But where are the giant electric penguins?

You can actually see the Mighty Black Stump.

Brady, how does one make a "literally" cool video? Maybe you change the white balance to a cooler color temperature?

shout out to Adelaide :D

*ahem* who runs Scott Base Brady? ;)

"Soundings in fathoms, height in feet?" Awkward unit transition?

Nicholas cage top right at 3:04

Ok, /now/ I know a little something about Scott.

This Is Because Hello Internet Right?

Could it be that the ancient Vikings had already discovered Antarctica?

Wasn't Tom Scott also on his way to Antarctica ?

first to comment! First time I do that in my life, so proud

Was the ship diesel powered?

Does anyone know the projection of the map? Antarctica looks cool but everything else looks really distorted. PS - The pun was unintended but I regret nothing.

My brother's name is Scott.

Like CGP, I can't help but chuckle whenever you say something is a "famous ______" I'm so sorry Brady, but I don't know a large majority of the things you say to be "famous". And I do tend to consider myself a well learned man.

Do you see the dog at 2:30?

They missed the mighty black stump

cool

why do you always start with gloves then take them off?

Ah nice, my home city now houses the ship Discovery but I'm ashamed to say I've yet to venture aboard! Maybe one day once this little pesky pandemic thing is done!

Why does the ocean have peaks and valleys on that map?

great city adelade? lol from melbourne

what about poor shackelton? :(

grey who

Why are you not wearing gloves to handle the rare papers?!

Hey brady! Could you send me the photo we took? Im Patricio. Cheers

Whole bunch of sleeping penguins 😂

Who the eff is Scott?

New Zealand >

haha typical aussie "we dont need to talk about new zealand" haha! straya

Looking at these makes me kinda sad how awful the instamatic and old cell phone pictures were. Most pictures people have from about 1970 to 2000 are quite awful. I know we had good cameras then too but cheap and easy was what most people used. Disappointing how my family pictures from 1930 are better than the ones from 1990.

Brady, you need some more sleep.

Why is Brady so squeamish about death?

How is this video literally cool? I would say this video is metaphorically cool in both instances of the word; one being an expression of intrigue and delight, and the other regarding the subject matter. But certainly the video is not cool to the touch.

"We don't need to talk about New Zealand" = downvote! 🤣

Adelaide was never a great city. Then they built the Black Stump, and now it is greater than London, Paris, New York and Rio de Janeiro combined.

Please be more careful with the expression "literally". Use of the expression has gotten out of hand and it is commonly misused.
