I grew up in and around the Sierra-Nevada Mtns. and Reno. I was so used to seeing the Milky way at night that I took it for granted. Then when I got older and lived in more populated areas with tons of light pollution I didn't remember what I was missing until I went out camping in the middle of the Moab in Utah. "My god, the Sky, it's full of stars."

You can see Cold War history too. If you look at Berlin from space at nighttime, you can still see where the Berlin Wall once was. The area that was West Berlin is illuminated in American-style white LED lights while East Berlin is illuminated in more old school yellowish gold lighting.

It's amazing that the extent of human-made light means that in my lifetime, despite being lucky enough to have travelled the world for almost 20 years, I've very rarely gotten a true glimpse of a sky without light-pollution. It's next to impossible to find in Europe without going to Arctic circle regions, or out to sea. Last year, I travelled to the "Big Bend" region in Texas that is very far removed from major populations, and I got the best view of the Milky Way I've ever seen. It was amazing, and a reminder that we definitely live in a different world because of our electricity, that a night-sky available to all just a few decades ago, is a rarity in this day and age.

An area that I found very interesting [and personally, kinda sad]: *The Bakken Oil Fields* I grew up in the area some decades ago, and the oil industry has a bit of a boom and bust cycle there, but was always a big chunk of the economy. High School graduation (for men) pretty much gave these options: farm, college, military, oil fields. (Or combinations thereof) I chose military, and left the area for most of my adult life. Growing up there, at night you could pretty easily navigate by the various glows on the horizon, as long as you knew what primary direction you were travelling. "Yep, going the right direction - there's X town glowing over there." Then - fracking became a thing, and the Bakken oil field absolutely went bonkers for about a decade. And you can't navigate by horizon glows at night anymore - the horizon is speckled with land-based oil platforms, in a sea of prairie. Seemingly overnight, very very small towns that had been that way for *decades* - even during prior boom cycles - became small cities. In particular, Williston, North Dakota - which became something akin to the capitol city of the Bakken.

The culture there was the last remnants of "Scandi-America" - having been settled in the late 1800s and early 1900s by primarily Scandinavian immigrants, from Eastern Montana, across to Minnesota (also why we have the NFL Vikings team, and it's very stereotyped team logo). The region is... hard living, especially back then. With winter temperatures that can easily hit -40 degrees C/F, [the scales cross each around that level] in the winter with near constant high winds, to proportionally inverse hot summers. The area has "The Badlands" running through it, named so, for good reason! 😄 And those pioneers, made it grow food. Lots of it. Enough to supply billions of people globally with the vast wheat fields that extend across the otherwise arbitrary Canadian border. That sort of, "Canadians are Nice People" culture, is more regional, than national. So, if you were from Saskatchewan, Canada - some little mostly wheat farming community of about 10,000 people - most of whom were the direct descendants of the pioneers, many still on the same family farms - and out of seemingly nowhere, because of a new technology, 100s of thousands of people suddenly moved from Toronto, either into or regionally near your town, and bring with them all of their culture... Even though a [mostly] peaceful deal, rather than the open warfare of previous mass migrations of humans... Everything that was your culture - your history, your buildings, the streets, schools, businesses... families. All gone in just one or two years. It's... sad. Suddenly, crimes that were almost unheard of, in a community where locking your doors while you slept at night was considered borderline paranoid... it's terrifying. A longtime, and beloved, school teacher in one of the Montana towns was abducted, strangled, and then her body molested, by two men from Texas, high as fuck on meth amphetamines and who knows what else... just saw her out for her 5AM morning jog, and decided in the moment. Crimes like that did happen, but they were extremely rare. With working men, so also comes the vice industry - a strip club, more bars, prostitution, and violence. So in that way - yeah... it's sad to me. It can't be stopped, that is the passage of time, and change. Nothing lasts forever, and fighting time - only causes more pain. So anyway to myself - I blather. But, I love to answer a good question.

People who plan properly, buy in when the houses are dirt cheap, and long term invest - and they make theirs at the next cycle. And so the cycles go... on and on.

Also, in that "seemingly overnight" time frame. So, sad in a lot of ways, but also a lot of happiness. One of those families *donated all the funding* to completely astroturf and re-track the High School stadium. Because, "they don't really need the money now anyway."

Great Channel great video great information I learned so much from the channel I was looking forward to the next video

This is without a doubt one of the best videos I have ever seen...demonstrating the extent of the impact humans have had on our planet/natural world, and just how pivotal geography has been to human settlements over time. The sheer variety of locations and examples you cited was impressive as well. I'm blown away 👏. Your material is incredible...please keep it up with the thought provoking content!

Hi, I'm from Argentina and I wanted to develop a little bit on the Fair Winds side of things (Buenos Aires XD). What you see there was the Red Ferroviaria Argentina, or Argentina Railway Network. It has now been largely dismantled by this point, with only a few lines running, being the biggest the Roca line, which runs all from the capital of the country, down to La Plata, which is the southeast blob sliiightly sticking out of the BIG light that's Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. Going north, you can clearly see a straight line going from Buenos Aires to some big city, and then turning, and then splitting in two. The big city is called Rosario, biggest city in the province of Santa Fe and third most populous in the country. From there, the line goes to, and splits at, Villa María. Southward, it goes through Río Cuarto, which is a huge touristic attraction, and then to Villa Mercedes and to San Luis, capital of the eponymous province. The big lights you see that almost form a huge line, honestly I don't know for certain what are they but, across the highway between San Luis and Villa Mercedes there is a considerable concentration of circular crops, so those lines could be irrigators, or cars taking crops to San Luis and Villa Mercedes. Finally, back to Villa María, going northwards will take you to Cordoba City, which is the second densest place in Argentina only behind Buenos Aires capital itself. It's a huge city with upwards of 1.5 million people, the only other city with more than 1 million people, with Rosario a close third with something of 950k (Most likely already at 1 million, that population's from the 2010 census >w

This is absolutely brilliant! Who knew light or the absence of it could tell SO much? Very cool stuff 👏

honestly this is the kind of stuff i believe i should be learning about in geography class. sure learning about volcanoes and what not is important but this is even more important because thia is what geography is about, it is about how different geographical features dictate where and how we live and this video deomnstrates that very well

I honestly find the small barely visible isolated specs of light more interesting than the big connected ones.

Hands down one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen in the last year. It’s amazing how light tells the entire story of humanity

I love the bright lights in the Dakotas. It is all the drill rigs and frac spreads in the Bakkan Oil Field. The scale amazes me

To date the very best YT video I've ever watched. Should be required to watch in US public and private schools.

I love this. I've had this map as my computer background for years and love just staring at it and thinking about the patterns.

This channel is one of the best on youtube and more people should be watching it.

Another well written, well researched script and presentation. Kudos to you. 👏👍🙏

Congratulation to all those who worked so hard to produce this documentary. This is precious. A great lesson of modern geography. Thank you all so much. Looking forward to learn more from you. Keep up the good work.

The music, the visuals and the info.. This vid is a dime piece.

As a resident of Perth it was nice to see my city mentioned. We take a certain perverse pride in being so isolated. I have only just found this channel and find your videos excellent. But 2 small points. Yes Adelaide is the nearest city, larger than 100,000, but it is almost as large as Perth, having about 1.3 million people. Also Alice Springs and nearby Pine Gap, are pretty isolated, but is not thousands of miles from the ocean. To Burketown on the Gulf of Carpentaria is about 910km, to the south the Great Australian Bight and the Southern Ocean is 900 km, and even to the more populated east coast, and the Pacific it is about 1400km. But it is still a good spot for a (openly) secret communications base. Nebula also seems like a good alternative to KZread.

This was incredible, great work as always. 'An archipelago of lights.'

13:45 Fun fact: those fields and mountains in the background are actually in Hong Kong, since Shenzhen built its city center right on the border, and Hong Kong haven't quite developed the land adjacent to China.

Amazing video! Currently studying urban morphology and this is very helpful

It's kinda cool how you can look at the light map of your country and pick out your town/city. Like, at 8:03, in the center of the US to the left of the line, you can see Denver, and right below it, Colorado Springs. Then the tiny one to the left of it with a couple of lights in between is Grand Junction. Then to the southeast, you see two smaller dots of light being Delta and Montrose. I used to live there.

An uncle of mine lives in Perth and was a federal senator for the state of West Australia in his younger years, and honestly, I admire those Aussies who live at a REAL FRONTIER!
