No it is not. It just ignorant.
The reason Norway also has a claim on a huge chunk of the south pole is because of Roald Amundsen (A famous Norwegian arctic explorer) he was the first to reach the south pole. So for winning this competition between Norway and Britain, Britain respected Norway's claim to the islands and the chunk of the south pole. Could maybe be a video topic? :))) liked the video anyways top quality as always.

Bouvet is one of the most sought-after places for making contacts via amateur radio, for which a small group of people will occasionally show up there and operate stations for a few days. I knew it was an extremely isolated location, but until I saw this video I didn't know about the perpetual ice on it.

There’s also a mystery around the island. In 1964 a South African research team visited the island and found a life boat half swamped off the island’s only beach The boat had no markings of any kind and a few hundred yards away from the boat they found the oars, a 44 gallon water drum, pieces of wood, and a buoyancy tank. The South Africans thought castaways just have landed on the island and made a search but found no human remains. Eventually the weather turned bad and the South Africans has to leave The islands weren’t visited again until two years later in 1966 and by then the boat and everything else that was in the beach was gone without a trace. No one knows how it got there or where it went.

You should read the great article “An Abandoned Lifeboat at World’s Edge” about an unexplained lifeboat that was discovered on the shore of Bouvet Island in 1964. It has recently seemingly been resolved, but it’s a fascinating read.
Several years ago I was trying to find an uninhabited island to move to. It turns out all the uninhabited islands are uninhabited for a reason (flooding, no fresh water, nothing to eat, and so on). This is another one that is uninhabited for a reason. But I guess if you could clear off enough ice to build a house and a dock, you might theoretically be able to survive on fish and melted ice, but you would definitely need regular shipments of fuel for heating. But there really is no attractive reason for someone to want to live there. It's not exactly a tropical paradise.

The attractive reason is utter, absolute, magnificent desolation. There is NOTHING. And almost nobody would ever know anyone was there, or that "there" exists. Norway probably would not find out for some time, or care if ye arrived unannounced. This is one of few ways to truly disappear.

Secretly take over North sentinel Island, and the Indian Navy keeps everyone out for you. I've had the thought 😂
I served in the British army, on South Georgia, for 7 months in the 1990s, very interesting tour, nice for the scenery but not a lot happened, we were at King Edward Point across the bay from Grytviken(an old closed down whaling station), which had a couple living there on a small sailing yacht(they wrote a book on the island, which i have a signed copy), they kept the church going and looked after graves, which included the grave of Sir Ernest Shakleton. The Habour master also lived at KEP, he was the defacto governor of the island and controlled the payment of fishing rights (serious money, in the millions per big ship) and ran the post office, and the two marines in or detachment were effectively the island police force. I was one of the 4 man signals detachment that kept all the comms going, there were also engineers that looked after the generators and ridged raider boats, as well as a an army chef, an officer and a St Helenan assistant chef, that was it over winter, hardly more than a dozen people,other than the British Antarctic survey team at the north of the island, who i never met. We did get quite a few cruise ships in the warmer months, and they all came off at KEP looked around Grytviken, bought books and especially, as he said here, stamps and postcards, from the post office,, We were resupplied by boat every month, if it could get there, and mail and small supplies were dropped into the harbour from a Hercules aircraft, which we went out and scooped up in our rigid raiders(waterproofed packages obviously), no airport so it couldn`t land, and the Falklands was too far for a helicopter. No R & R because the ship came, stayed 2 days, and left, it was a four day each way trip, and it didn`t come back for a month, that was too long for crucial staff to be away so no tour break. Physical training was mainly inside, as in winter you sometimes had to be lashed together to get from the accom to the end of the pier, when the weather was better we got to run up the mountainside to the reservoir, but mainly involved running up and down the stairs in the accom. The runs outside in squads always involved jumping over elephant seals, or at least stepping on their backs and jumping off, as they were too big to leap in one go, they were everywhere, but didnt move fast but liked to lie on the flat smooth bits, which was the only path from KEP to Grytviken and the reservoir,, fur seals were the worst, especially the bigger males, they could move a bit, we ran round them with a wider berth.
Why is there no mention of the mysterious boat that was found on the island? That's the most interesting thing about Bouvet Island

Hmm.. try and i get you ;)
So, what about the weather blob comeing from this island?
I might be recalling wrongly, but doesn't that Island have an abandoned/emergency radio station as it's only building? Learned a little about the island yuears ago when it's location on the world map grabed my curiosity. I mean whats there to build a bot off if ytou stranded there, fish, seals and birds. and try to make a boat from that and set sail towards any of the nearby large locations to go for is also a pretty much impossible gamble.

Sort of interesting story: I had a map of the world that showed both Bouvet Island and Lindsay Island. I never gave it much noticed until I really learned about Bouvet's isolation. So I did some digging and found out that Lindsay Island was the name given to Bouvet all those years ago. For a long time no-one really knew where either lay, so they just accepted i both on maps. The cheap map maker (it was a desktop map probably mass-produced somewhere), copied this fake Lindsay Island somewhere in the 90s even though it had been long discredited.
This has the same energy of sending a settler 300 turns ago in some fogged area in Civilization and plopping a town on it
