This REMOTE Japanese Island May Hide a Secret…
Okinotorishima, Japan's southernmost island, has a strange appearance from satellite view. In this video, I explore what is going on at this island, why they are in cased in concrete, why there is a 3 story Japan Marine Science and Technology Center, and what this island's implications are on its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). What else is going on at this little coral reef/atoll in the middle of nowhere? I'm using Bing Maps in this video, but you can check it out on Google Maps/Earth as well. Let me know what you think, and remember this video is just a fun video exploring these islands and has no political views whatsoever on this matter.

Today, I explore the northernmost point of the world, Kaffeklubben island (aka Coffee Club Island), part of Greenland near Cape Morris Jesup, on Google Maps. I also explore the other disputed northernmost points, such as Oodaaq, Stray Dog West, ATOW1996, and 83 42 island. Do you think these other gravel banks count as the northernmost point of land? What else goes on up here? And why is google ...
This Soviet City Baffled Me…

Today, I look at the interesting road layout north of Tolyatti (aka Togliatti), Samara Oblast. At first, I had no idea what I was looking at, and thought there were thousands of homes in straight roads all mushed together. But, after learning more about the city, it turns out these are Dachas (dacha), which are seasonal homes/gardens for people living in the city. I also talk about the AvtoVaz ...

Could Flooding Death Valley Combat Rising Sea Levels?
Просмотров 99414 дней назад
What would happen if you flooded Death Valley and Badwater Basin? Could this affect rising sea levels? Or would this cause many unintentional effects and cost way too much? I do the math on how much the sea levels could theoretically lower if we flooded the lowest point in the United States!

Island-ception? The World's Most Recursive Island
At 3:12, you said that other countries wouldn't be able to pass through the EEZ without Japan's permission, but that is false. Within the territorial waters, nations only have to allow innocent passage, meaning that they can block some vessels. But within the larger EEZ, nations can only regulate resource extraction, but they can't control who enters and exits.
So it's interesting. It's like suburbia subdivision on steroids. And then you have like, The other area which is like extremely urbanist efficient.
Just clicked on random video in my reccomended section to see my city and a guy that is woundering wth is this
if this guys baffled by the rows of little houses then he hasn't seen any city in america
My mom's family had been given a dacha to use during the Soviet Union, she'd bring her school friends there, later it was taken away because it was owned by the government. Now she built her own dacha at age 50. It is a log cabin that my mom and her husband did a lot of work for themselves because hiring workers is expensive. For example they caulked the whole cabin themselves using a material called jute, I think? For a long time it was only a summer home without hot water or central heating (however it did have a wood furnace). But we put a full kitchen there, there's a living room, and an upstairs sort of "loft" bedroom where my mom sleeps. And only recently have we managed to upgrade the dacha thanks to credit cards and my new job, we built an addition where a natual gas boiler and water boiler go, and also a full bathroom. The addition is not log cabin but a frame house (more like frame room), with a standing-seam metal roof over it. They also put radiators throughout the house. That's how dacha became a lot more comfortable, now we have hot water, heating, and even installed WiFi (before we were using mobile hotspot for internet but it wasn't working well). Oh and they built their own banya which is a common structure on these lots, it is kind of like a sauna. I personally don't care for it but my mom and her husband love it
this is so cute, foreigners discovering post-soviet traditions and stuff like this :) you were pretty much on point describing this! :D

Since you've been delving into interesting locations in the Arctic circle lately, you should read up on Barnes Ice Cap in Nunavut, Canada. It's a remnant of the once vast Laurentide Ice Sheet which used to cover Canada during the Pleistocene.
hello geomargin
Hello!
@@Geomargin Ur videos are great to watch while eating dinner lol, keep it up
I watch RUclips while I eat too haha
hi geomargin
Hi!
The answer is the satellites that take the photos travel across the earth ‘horizontally’. They typically don’t travel pole to pole except a few that are military installations.
I remember going there before (on google maps ofc) and I actually saw this before you even uploaded about this.
I used to drive a truck and I’ve used 412-3 many times when I was hauling AA fertilizer, east of Bryan’s Corner at night, 2-3 miles if you look to the south you can see the lights of Perryton TX 16 miles and if you look to the north you can see the lights of Liberal KS 34 miles 50 miles and 3 different states, you won’t do that in 2 many places.
Oh wow, that’s interesting
1:39 Will there be any molniya sattelites?
Not sure, I’m not too familiar with that.
@Geomargin molniya is a type of sattelite orbit has a eccentricity of 0.722 and 62° Inclination. It's orbital period lasts half a sidereal day in the North part of the ecliptic
It's pronounced 'Guy-man.' A small town in Oklahoma.
Got it, thanks!
I love it.
same!
"You never hear anything about here" Exactly. That is what has always fascinated me so much about those areas. What goes on there?

Hey! I've found that on google maps before!
Cool! It's fun to look around on google maps
Fun fact: "It was renamed after Italian communist politician Palmiro Togliatti in 1964"
My heart sank as soon as soon as toou wrnt to the coordinates and I saw the vibrant green shade and distinctive shape, Ive seen these sometimes quite decieving algae "mats" or "rafts" enough times to become cognizant of them. Still a good video, and the hunt continues!
Yep, there's gotta be one out there
What's the Longest Straight-Line Road in the United States? Are you choosing this road by looking at a map? Ask a trucker. They know. !
Looking at a map. Honestly just a fun video I made when I had around 100 views on my videos, did not expect for it to reach such a wide audience! Thanks for watching!
Trump:
I’m from Belarus and I’ve spend all of my childhood summers there until I moved abroad. It was an amazing experience growing up. Our whole family gathered there in summer, including grandparents and occasionally cousins. My dacha was in a better area than the city in this video, we had multiple forests, streams and lakes nearby. Biking was a joy. I had many other neighbors kids around the place to spend time with. Our house was in our family for 3 generations, every few decades the house was rebuilt/upgraded or something else was added to our plot - like a sauna/bathhouse, or a cookout rotunda. We had grass plots I played ball in, inflatable pools, veggie growing lots, flower pens etc. about 5 years ago my dad bought a neighbor’s plot, upgraded the house into a scandinavian style house to be livable year round, and turned the neighbour’s house into a guest house. It’s a full fledged estate now. It makes me very sad to not be able to visit it for the last 5 years.
Similar exist in London UK too. They are called "allotments" - an area to grow vegetables, divided between small "allotment" next to each other, for each person, typically who lives in flats (not in a house with a yard). However they have no small buildings there, just the little gardens.
this would be an insane liminal space

Here in Georgia we we also have Dachas, but sometimes differently. Here most people dont build new dachas and we just go to the houses in villages that were left to us by our parents and grandparents
people are looking for what they want to see, they're mountain and caves, people make stupid decisions there and sometimes they die 🤷🏻
Yep. A lot of conspiracies nowadays haha
allotments
Exclave!!! I believe there is an exclave-country in southeast Asia???? Prove me wrong, or prove me right. 😊. I'd like to see a video of your findings. Peace.
Yes I believe there were a lot of exclaves years ago, but I think a lot of them were smoothed out.
Average American neighborhoods:
В советское время обычным людям некуда было тратить деньги и государство решило выдать (отсюда и "дача" DACHA) им земельные наделы, где они могут культурно отдохнуть на свежем воздухе и вбухать в эти 6 соток кучу денег и личного времени. Многие дачи находятся не далеко от жилых районов, там есть свет и вода - жители посещают их в любое удобное время. Раньше не у всех были кондиционеры и летом каменные многоэтажки сильно нагреваются - спать при такой температуре не комфортно - выход: спать на даче - она как правило не каменная, а если и каменная, то ближе к земле - отводит тепло в неё.
Every family in the Soviet Union had a dacha
from chatgpt surching the web Kaffeklubben Island, located off the northern coast of Greenland, was named by Danish explorer Lauge Koch in 1921. He chose the name "Kaffeklubben," which translates to "Coffee Club" in Danish, in honor of an informal gathering at the University of Copenhagen's Geological Museum. This "Kaffeklubben" was a daily lunchtime meeting where the museum's core staff convened to discuss various topics, fostering a sense of community and collaboration among geologists and researchers. The Geological Museum itself has a rich history, tracing its origins back to 1772 as part of the University of Copenhagen. Over the centuries, it has been a hub for geological research and education, housing extensive collections of minerals, fossils, and meteorites. The museum's tradition of daily coffee gatherings among its staff highlights the collaborative spirit that has long been a part of its culture. By naming the island after this coffee club, Koch paid tribute to the collegial atmosphere and the collaborative efforts of his peers at the Geological Museum. This gesture reflects the importance of academic camaraderie and the sharing of ideas in advancing geological sciences during that era.
It’s weird seeing images of places that nobody has discovered until very recently, it’s somewhat like an extended earth?
Yeah it's bizarre. There are some arctic islands that weren't even discovered until the 1900s.
The Thule 2008 expedition is quite strange
Did you watch those Svalbard videos in real life lore? Then we have both xD
Yes I have! I love real life lore hahaha.
I was literally looking at that very place on Google Earth two days ago with my friend… Am I watching you, or are you watching me?
