Damn that explains when i tried flying over the north pole in my legit private jet i saw cannon balls heading straight for my plane… This explains so much!
As a kid I heard about the Northern Magnetic Pole and thought it was a giant magnet sitting in northern Canada, and that if you got too close to it you'd be dragged in and stuck there.
"The North Pole sits in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, on water that is almost always covered with ice. The ice is about 2-3 meters (6-10 feet) thick. The depth of the ocean at the North Pole is more than 4,000 meters (13,123 feet)." Yooooo I was wrong my bad
It is actually hard to work out the southern most piece of land. If you strip away the ice away from Antarctica you will find it is actually a archipelago of Islands rather than the huge landmass it pretends to be.
@@cablefeed3738 I mean, so is the North Pole. Its pretty much always covered in ice year round. Might not be so true in the near future, but its at least true for now. Generally Snow/Ice isnt counted as "Land" otherwise there would be a lot more of it in the arctic circle.
I thought that was a translation joke... but it's not. According to Wikipedia, the island was named after a coffee club at the University of Copenhagen Geological Museum. Danish explorers apparently have a sense of humor.
I thought my country just had got to have northernmost place in the world. I mean, Murmansk oblast, Yamal and Yakutia are so cold that I honestly believed that there is nothing beyond. I guess I am just as ignorant as Americans, but instead of thinking that my country is the biggest, the happiest or generally the best I thought that it's northernmost coldest and saddest place to be :)
@@0000-z4z The majority don't like or trust him but the majority also thinks he's needed in a way. I'm not Russian (nor am I the OP) but I've had enough experience with Russia to say that.
@@0000-z4z polls differ, but mostly people do not like corruption in our government. Right now situation is especially hard for opposition. People being jailed, independent mass media are being framed as foreign agents and new laws are being passed to put more restrictions. There those who like Putin, but that's only because the only card he can play is blaming other countries. People who hate America, or Europe, or even our neighbor Ukraine are likely to vote for him, but they definitely are not 80% of population or whatever percentage he gets each time on electiobs
Half the world : I'll buy anti aircraft missiles from the USA. The other half of the world : I'll buy it from Russia Santa be like : am I a joke to you ?
I think you also missed the Russia sent a submarine to place a flag on the ocean floor at the North Pole. That flag was placed on "land" - just undersea land.
@@lolgenitor7065 False, Santa being fake is just a myth created by our capitalist overlords to get adults to buy more presents and keep Santa out of a job.

Every single one of your videos is a masterpiece! Every phrase it's a well constructed joke with a great punchline! I think you have one of the funniest education channels on RU-vid.
My 4 year old daughter asked if Santa lived in the South Pole, I said no, but it would make more sense as there’s no land in the North Pole. If only I knew about Santa’s bunker.
KaffeKlubben Island means Coffee Club Island en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffeklubben_Island Kaffeklubben is a coffee relaxation spot at the museum for mineralogy in Copenhagen. So presumably the name giver Lauge Koch drinks coffee.
I love the "Pygmei hic habitant" ("Pygmies live here") at 01:58, southeast of the North Pole. It's in the same zone of Norway where I live and I can assure there are no pygmies here :)
Actually if you look at the zoomed out map at 01:54, you can see the clear outline of northern Norway. This is not a map from 2000 years ago, it's a map made by Europeans probably in the past 300 years - they knew where Norway was, and this was filling in the blank spots further north of that.
@@mattkuhn6634 I live in Svalbard, north of northern Norway 🙂 Although by the time of the map the archipelago had already been discovered, there were no permanent settlers
That northernmost community is actually Canadian Forces Station Alert. I had an uncle stationed there and its population is small and transient. There is no nearby civilian settlement so there's nowhere to visit when off-duty. As I recall there is about five months of night, centered around the winter solstice, and five months of daylight, centered around the summer solstice. Although one of the functions of this station was to "alert" Canada & the U.S. of a Soviet attack across the Arctic, it is actually named after HMS Alert which wintered 10 km to the east in 1875-76.
There's an easy solution. Get a very long rope. Have Santa hold one end. Start walking east while gradually letting out rope until you hit land. That's the northernmost piece of land.
I was station at CFS Alert in the 'spring/summer' 1983. To get there we flew from CFB Trenton on a CAF CC-137 (Boeing 707) to USAF Thule and the a CAF CC-130 Hercules to CFS Alert. The return journey was a CC-130 from CFS Alert to CFB Trenton with stops in Eureka to drop of supplies and Resolute Bay for refueling. Total flight time was about 12 hours and until we crossed the arctic circle we has to wear full arctic kit. The flight was long, cramped given that in addition to our complement there was a bulldozer, a Paul Bunyan and our gear strapped to the rear ramp. Think of you worst commercial flight and multiply that by an order of magnitude.
I did three short stints up there between 2017-2019, all Hercs there and back. The station might have gotten more comfortable in the past 35 years, but the flights sure haven't!
@@cursesnuts "station might have gotten more comfortable" You're welcome! When I was there I was temporarily seconded to 1 CEU out of Winnipeg to work on the second phase of the HAPS building. We worked twelve hours days six day a week in two shifts to erect the building and lay the floor decking in preparation for the next crew. We drank and smoke the station dry on a few occasions. :(
Anyone else have a nebula subscription but still listen to the videos here because you want more of Sam's voice and the ad-read is just as entertaining? just me?
I wonder where they came up with the name Kaffeklubben island. My guess is at some coffee club where they serve fancy coffee and names islands. Just a guess though
They took the the coldest, most desolate landmass they could find and named it Greenland. Of course the most desolate place on Greenland is going to have a cozy name.
Vielleicht gab es einen gleichnamigen Forschertreff in Dänemark, bei welchen diese Insel vorgestellt wurde! Einwohner Nordeuropas und Deutschlands stehen massiv auf Koffein!
Around 32-37 seconds I believe there was an error in what you said. "13 hundred feet or 4 thousand meters of water" it sounds like you probably either swapped the units, meant to say 13 thousand feet, or meant to say 4 hundred meters. Any way, great video as always :)
joke San Jose (CA): Every year in Autunm, when that day has arrived, at which the sunset is at 5 h, 59 min p. m. of Real Local Time Josians: "Let us prepare for Christmas" ... ! Meanwhile in Svalbard: The Polar Night there takes from November to February ... !
also the nothern most Island could hide under Ice, that we just thought swims on the ocean. Also an Island covered in ice is indistinguishable from a spot where the Ocean is frozen down to the bottom.
When you mentioned Kaffeklubben Island, I am very disappointed you didn't do a call back to your earlier Starbucks reference.... You're dropping your game, HAI.
Canadians just clicked on the video hoping Canada would be mentioned in something, thus further validating the fact we do actually exist and are relevant enough to mention in passing.
Why not just loose the music, because when I walked away to do some chores and tried to listen to this, I wasn't sure if I was hearing an informative video or a dubstep remix containing someone's muttered talking, but was feeling the beats and rhythms shake my body causing me to want to bust out into dance and maybe do some Molly, with the muttered but eerily rhythmic words I couldn't make out seeming like another part of the background beat. What happened here, did you screw up your volume control settings?
Northernmost land is northernmost land, not northern most settlement. You could argue if you're talking about current or permanent northernmost point, but all other options are answering a different question.
