Ugh This video is a total chaos, apparently done with no script or even planning. I was hoping to learn more about the remote places but instead he's talking about Vancouver and other totally unrelated subjects. Also, the maps and images are moving too fast for me to really focus on - if anything the fast delivery is making me dizzy! SMH
LATAM has operated regular weekly flights from São Paulo to Falkland Islands since 2019. Although they were grounded due to COVID-19, they are expected to resume in a few weeks.
The one that always fascinates me, is places where plenty of people live, but are almost impossible to get to from the rest of the world. Places like Tristan da Cunha in the south Atlantic where 250 people live in near total isolation, or North Sentinel Island in the Indian Ocean, where the few hundred inhabitants are known to kill any outsider who tries to approach the island. Your discussion of living remotely in Siberia made me think of the Lykov family, who have lived in near total isolation for over 80 years. There is just one family member surviving today.
As a Canadian when you said $500,000 for that apartment I actually laughed. You can’t buy property in Vancouver for under $750,000 and most “desirable” places to live are over $1,000,000
Not a single mention of Bouvet island? Kerguelen being covered was interesting though, but it does have some tourism, unlike Bouvet, I think, which makes it easier to reach.
Thanks for the vid, you do rly interesting analytics. I don`t understand everything bcs i just teaching english, but it`s anyway interesting, thank you!
What are the odds. The most recent expedition to Antarctica on that Wikipedia page, there was a link on the CNN article about London Sydney direct flight about it.
My favorite Final Fantasy streamer is a co-op board president in Vancouver, I guess keep an eye out for a dude that looks like he plays a lot of Final Fantasy and ??? profit.

@@jessicatriplev9802 you really don’t understand what this channel is for lmfao, that’s kind of the point. It feels more like an informal conversation, and a lot of people enjoy that.
You should make a crazy alternative history/geography video looking at the geography consequences of very unlikely things that might have happened like that time Russia tried to sell Alaska to Liechtenstein before they eventually sold it to USA. Edit: If this had happened Liechtenstein with a European land area of 160 square km would have climb from number 190 of 195 in the country ranking to number 17 with a total land area of 1,723,497 square km. USA would have dropped from number 3 to 5.
Obviously, it's been named Le Tampon because the place gets monthly floods. Jokes aside, in my opinion it probably directly translate to "The Buffer" as in some kind of transitional area
I was just in Vancouver! We visited family over the holidays for the first time in 2 years. I live in Newfoundland and it's a stupidly long and expensive trip to make for a Canadian. We need Europe's air traffic system.
@@tayloryoung9803 Because Europe's system is exponentially cheaper for passengers. I can't afford to visit my family more than once a year and we're in the same country.
@@JennaGetsCreative It's cheaper because there's far more passengers using it though, so it's kind of a catch 22. When more people use it, costs will go down, but more people won't use it unless costs go down. 😓
We have those Coop stores in Slovakia as well, literally in every village. They are called Coop-Jednota, which means unity, and I suppose it stems from the socialism times.
Before socialism even, a co-operative is a type of community ran business. usually it's a bunch of farmer's getting together to sell all their produce from one store. A lot of grocery stores started this way and they just kept the name when they became a regular business
I'm from Sweden and we have so many Coops. They're actually expending, buying up other food chains such as Netto and Prix in the last few years. Which is good foor me, I guess, since I'm a member of coop and my father's been a member since the 1970s, when it was still called Konsum (which i guess comes from the word "consume" lol)
I love your videos. Had to pause at 6 minutes to spend 20 minutes reading about the history of Antarctica, onto the history of satellite imaging. You inspire the brain, Mr Toycat. Keep it up
Antarctica is the only continent my wife and I have not been to, so we've looked into those cruises, and even those are expensive and a pain to get on.
I'd love to know what the most remote McDonald's in the world is though. Fastest answer is the one at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base (yes, *that* Gitmo) - but with the right orders someone could eat lunch there and dinner in Washington, D.C or vice versa. Remotest McD's open to the general public, then.
Thanks for the 3000 BC travel recommendation! My wife died from measles there, I couldn't find drinking water free of feces for a week, and now have an iron deficiency but other than that it was amazing!
Kerguelen Island needs a 2,600 metre runway just east of Port-aux-Francais to support scientific work and as an emergency airstrip of airliners to keep them within an ETOPS max of 3 hours (twin engine aircraft running on one engine in an emergency). Some large twins have not survived 1 hour on a single engine after bad engine failure in the other despite an ETOPS rating of 6 hours. So countries with an interest in the southern hemisphere should be supporting more airstrips for airline safety as distinct from more air services to remote locations.
Make a video on western sahara. The most pointless of them all. I know you can still make it interesting. So many alternative maps featured on this channel handle the territory in weird and interesting ways but you never mention it.
🇳🇴 Bouvet Island, world's most remote island, 1,700 km north of 🇳🇴 Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, 2,547 km east of 🇬🇧 South Sandwich Islands, 1,852 km south of 🇬🇧 Gough Island, Tristan da Cunha, 2,563 km southwest of 🇿🇦 Cape Town, South Africa and 2,543 km west of 🇿🇦 Prince Edward Islands.
Fun fact: The "Southern Ocean" wasn't it's own ocean when I was in school. Apparantly, it became known as a distinct ocean in 2000, which is after I graduated from High School. Yes, I'm old and female, too, so I guess I'm an outlier in terms of channel stats. I'm 41, BTW.
How you managed to resist derailing the whole video to investigate *"Le Tampon"* is beyond me... I didn't have the strength... Apparently it was the base for a notorious murder & "sorcerer," and comes from the term "tampony" (which means belvedere/building/part of a building?) & also is a popular tourist place with lots of palm trees 🤣
I bet Pacific islanders/Asians have successfully travelled to and from Antarctica thousands if not tens of thousands of years ago just like how New Zealand, Easter Island all of the Americas were founded long before any European Colonizers could even make a boat (except the Viking, which were well more advanced than Columbus).
You should make a video about the weirdest city names. I came across a city in New Foundland and Labrador called "Robert's Arm" and another one a few miles away called "Joe Batt's Arm"
I go to my local Coop (I live in small town in Czechia) regularly, but I'm not satisfied with their prices and quality/sortiment of food. I'm lactose intolerant, but they don't have any dairy alternatives or quality ripened cheeses. They just have low-quality czech substitutes of foreign cheeses. In general, Czechs have the lowest quality of food in all Europe. We are trash can of the world.
I looked up real estate in La Crete. It's not so cheap. Houses go for $300-500K. It's also a boom town, the population has increased 11 fold in the last 45 years.
Wise insights from toycat: "Unexplored places don't have direct flights." (paraphrasing bc it's been several minutes in the video since he said it and I couldn't type then bc it's raining on my phone)
Nice. I loved Vancouver. Except the Stairways in Parking Garages. I like the tangents you go off topic from. I like my visit to Sydney, although that was a few years before this so called pandemic. The OmIcron version is reeking havoc right now there.
Along all your co-op branded supermarkets. There's also things like S-market and prisma(S-group) in Finland which is also a co-op and are probably the largest supermarket chain in Finland.
Co-Op in Canada is a store than you can find in pretty much every town, but it is especially iconic in small towns as it is the only grocery store in many remote, small towns
Something I’ve always found funny with Kerguelen is the archipelago has a Breton name, but thousands of miles from Brittany (where I live) and its surrounding islands.
My mom used to work at a nursing station by Le Crête! Hello from Northern Alberta!! Its so nice to get some recognition! Also we have a crap ton of oil nearby. Third largest reserves in the world. So it might not be so barren for long.
When you live far from a city, you basically need to plan ahead for your meals significantly more. The more remote, the more planning you need. If you're living in the far north near the arctic circle, you might need to have 6 months worth of supplies and plans, for instance. When I lived 100 miles from a minor city, we would have 2-4 weeks worth of food, and do a couple of big shopping trips per month. In both cases, you might need to do canned vegetables and grow some of your own food if you want something that isn't preserved. Most people can't plan that far ahead.
