How do you know?

Tristão da Cunha is the name of an actual Portuguese explorer, who was the first to sight this island. Of course, he pulled an Alexander the Great and named it after himself Though he decided not to land there due to the rough seas you see at the beginning. He saw the island as part of his 1506 voyage. The main goal of the voyage was to capture Socotra off of Yemen to close Red Sea trade in Portugal's favor. After he saw Tristan, he went to Barawa in what's now southern Somalia, defeated Ajuran Empire troops, and looted the place. Then he went to Socotra and successfully captured it (but due to famine and losing many ships due to no proper harbor, the Portuguese abandoned Socotra in 1511). Finally, he went to India where he participated in the Siege of Cannanore in 1507

Mr. Harold Green’s voice is truly soft, ASMR soft 😊

Another British Overseas Territory with a similar volcano situation is Montserrat in the Caribbean. If you ever listened to Boney M, one of the three girls in the group, Maizie, is from there. While the islanders on Tristan nearly lost their main settlement to a volcano, that was unfortunately not the case for Montserrat when it came to their capital Plymouth...Plymouth became buried in volcanic ash as a result of eruptions in the late 90s from its active volcano Soufrière Hills. Two-thirds of the island left because of the eruptions (fewer than 1,200 chose to stay on Montserrat in 1997; currently there are over 4.6K) who were evacuated to Antigua and then to Great Britain. Until a new capital is completed, Plymouth has remained the de jure capital, making it the only ghost town capital of a political territory. Half of the island is an exclusion zone where no one's allowed to live nor visit the volcano unless you're a scientist. Though some excursions get permission from police to walk around Plymouth. You can also book a helicopter tour from Antigua where you can see abandoned Plymouth from above and the destruction of the whole southern side of the island.

South Georgia Island might be extremely important in the future. As a relatively large island (with good anchorages for ships) 800 miles from the nearest inhabited place and 2500 miles from the nearest substantially inhabited place, it's the best spot in the world to launch one of these: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion) It could well be Earth's primary spaceport someday!

@timetraveler2518

@@alexanderfretheim5720 No, We strongly oppose a space launch pad with a nuclear rocket in South Georgia Island. South Georgia Island belongs to the land of arctic beauty and nature. Three reasons: 1. The only one of the richest fragile arctic animal refuges in the world. 2. The hostile climate (windy, freezing temperature, and cloudy) and rough sea most of the year. 3. The economic infeasible (too remote and distant location from the high-density populated cities) and costly import of resources and human-need supplies to the island. There is no airport in South Georgia Island, and they are heavily relying on sea shipping. Ascension Island is a perfect location for the nuclear rocket launch pad because of the favorable climate and it is closer to populated areas. It is located near the equator that eases the nuclear rocket launch to propel into space than from the arctic region. It would not jeopardize the safety of nuclear rocket mishap because of the vast empty area of the Atlantic Ocean. Ascension Island is a location in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and their nearest land is 1200 kilometers (700 miles). The airport is on Ascension Island that helps to sustain the mainstay of the economy. There was the satellite radar station with live television transmission on Ascension Island beaming from Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969. Believe me, because I visited all these islands in remote locations of the Atlantic Ocean, and witnessed all these facts of their world and environment.

@@timetraveler2518 Cool story bro. 1. In reality, probably won't hurt it that much. Launches will generally be timed for the fallout to fall away from the island rather than falling directly on it (fallout generally follows the wind). Even if by some human error they did time a launch for the wrong weather, fallout is often called "black rain": the tall mountains of South Georgia Island would create a rain shadow effect that would cause the fallout to drop on the near side of the adjoining mountain ridges. There might be some minor increase in incidents of animals getting cancer, but for the most part they would have little baby animals and life would continue. In fact, the Chernobyl Exclusion Area is the best thing that ever happened to the ecology of Northwest Ukraine and Southeast Belarus and has hosted a remarkable return of life to that region. 1b. Furthermore, the need to control fallout, emp, radiation and other aspects of the nuclear launch would lead to some of the most controlled and regulated development in the history of the world. We would need to be as close to the blast site as possible, while being far away enough to survive ourselves, leading to merry minuet of meticulous planning and knowing where people are at all times. The dangerous nature of the economic activity would have the result of preventing the dangerous excess and general carelessness that are the real anthropogenic causes of environmental harm. Frankly it's probably less dangerous for the environment than the tourists currently haunting South Georgia. 2. What does that have to do with anything? 3. Ship will work just fine. It's actually cheaper. Even if you want an airport, airports can be built, and it's a lot easier to acquire an airport than to deal with the possible EMP and other ramifications of a nuclear launch near (and when you're dealing with a-bombs, the definition of "near" is far from conservative) settled human populations.

As a kid I was an avid reader of Jules Verne, this was in the '90s, before the internet as we know it today. At some point in one of his novels, I stumbled upon some fascinating description of Tristan da Cunha, I can't remember which novel it was, but for some reason this island name just got stuck in my brain for years. Amazing how just 25 years ago I could only imagine how the island looks by reading Verne's words, and now I can pinpoint the island in Google Earth and see it in incredibile details.

In Jules Verne's novel In Search of the Castaways, one of the chapters is set on Tristan da Cunha, and a brief history of the island is mentioned Wiki, just in case 😉

Would have been hilarious if when the old man said in the interview, " We don't lock a door, there are no locks". And yer man followed it up by saying, "I just tried to get into the supermarket 11 minutes ago and the door was locked".
