Fun fact: Antarctica wasn't always the ice desert it is today. Many million years ago, it used to be a paradise of lush forests.

I worked for 16 months in Antarctica.

I love geography a lot . Studying geography when I was in high school helped me travel 73 countries with low cost. Love 💕 your video from Buffalo New York

Antarctica has always interested me especially as I live near the Captain Scott Monument about 2 miles away in Devonport next to the Naval Base that serves as the homeport for the British Antarctic Survey Fleet. The base regularly has the Red and White Fleet in and I know people who work on the vessels. The RNAS (Royal Navy Antarctic Survey) Fleet is a strong employer. The oddity of the British Antarctic Territory is it is a territory of the Crown rather than an actual part of the UK and significantly larger than most of Crown Realms put together (only Canada exceeds it in size). Technically whilst things like fishing, nuclear weapons and other industrial items are banned the loopholes are often got round in the name of research and global security. One of the major reasons for the 1982 Falkland Islands conflict (Guerra de Las Malvinas) apart from a political distraction technique for both the Argentine President and UK Prime Minister at the time. The big thing was fishing and minerals rights in the UK territories waters that are around the former whaling station islands OUTSIDE of the Antarctic exclusion zone. This generate revenues for the countries with these islands. It's also an unkept secret that NATO and other world navies use the South Atlantic/ Great Southern Ocean/ South Pacific to base their Nuclear capable Nuclear powered submarines. If official documentation is they were on patrol in those Oceans their is little evidence to prove they were there.

great video as always! interested to see how this plays out-many of those countries aren't exactly known for honoring their treaties.

And Elon still thinks inhabiting Mars is a good idea...

Good video, Geoff! Thanks. When you remarked something about protecting the ecosystem, scientific research, I couldn’t help ignorantly thinking, what ecosystem? What research? What useful information can be gleaned from that miserable ice desert? Throwing good money after bad, to me. Chile and Peru can have it.

Antarctica (the Land Down-Down Under) is owned by the Grays, while the Arctic is owned by the Greens.

How about a look at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. I was there in 1979 or 80 and it was quite interesting.

The USA already got the most valuable item from Antarctica: a Stargate!

🇨🇱 Chile is the closest country and claims the entire peninsula as a continuation of its southernmost territory.

antartica should be divided between the southern countries.

It< makes sense, BTC and crypto is off helping to regulate, rather than pretend it won't ever happen. The big institutions getting in is the catalyst that will launch us into the stratosphere. Most people don't like change but after the change is made they grow used to it and it becomes a non issue usually because their fears never materialize. The projects that initiated the process of regulation have not been ruined, they got involved in setting guidelines and helping the regulators understand the crypto space.

It will thaw one day a few thousand years from now and people will continue their migration in this realm as they follow the sun’s procession over 26,000 year cycle. Who knows, there may even be enduring monuments like that of Teotihuacán or Giza. It’s too bad we’ll never know the truth.
