For anyone wondering where the island in the lake in the island in the lake in the island of Victoria is, here are the coordinates from Google Maps (I found it eventually) - 69°47'32.5"N 108°14'25.7"W
Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to go to Victoria Island, find that island on a lake on an island in a lake and dig another lake in it? then deposit another island?
There's one in the Philippines. And it's an accessible tourist destination.
An island, on a lake, on an island, on a lake, in an island.
Oh, and to be precise, the first "lake" is in the *crater of a volcano*
I've heard about a club that travels to those places, just to find the island in a lake in a island in a lake etc.
Imagine someone stepping from China to Afghanistan by mistake and then going back. will he be BACK TO THE FUTURE?
I love to see you do it but on an American passport you'll need both an Afghan andChinesevisa
clap clap
AXE PIDY i
Somebody NEEDS to set foot on that island in a lake in an island in a lake in an island. Somebody needs to feel the reward of doing it.
Just get a helicopter
Maarlen Noordanus so what? I live on Great Britain and my local park has a lake with an island.
There will be a McDonalds there soon. They are already planning it.
Maarlen Noordanus i actually have been there, in the Philippines
Well it's not Taal Lake...watch the bloody video.

You can make a greater Timezone jump at either of the two poles. You should be able to jump 12 hours by stepping over the pole.
Harvey Rabbit t
The greatest time zone jump is traveling across the international date line.
@@virgoshravan272 haha I guess that’s true, but you can’t step over it, it’s 100% ocean
Coming for that CGP Grey crown! I enjoyed this video.
Oh man. The voice acting quality difference between this and the newer ones just knocked me off my chair.
I need more of these map geek videos
This is my favorite youtube channel. I read about this kind of stuff every day. It's great to see it in a fun engaging format like this.
That first situation happened a different time. The thai king was almost born in Cambridge, but Thailand paid the U.S. a bit so that they would cede the hospital bed until he was born.
I'm binge watching your videos. So good!!
i enjoy those videos too much, please more of those
Fascinating stuff. I enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Keep it up.
Man I love your "tour of the world" videos. These are so awesome
do more of these!!! love these educational, yet interesting videos
love this series
St. Johns Newfoundland is closer to London England than it is to Vancouver BC
El Paso, tx is closer to Los Angeles than it is to Beaumont, Tx
Loving your videos mate!
Great map geek video... please make more!
Excellent links between the different topics!
I really like your videos but I love your map geek videos. However, I wish they were longer!
Please do more of these!!
These videos..ugh so damn interesting. Subscribed!
Love these Map Geek videos!
Neato, close to my home going up was mentioned!!
I live still live in Hamilton, NJ and I grew up on Edinburg Road. It took you to the tiny neighborhood Edinburg which is on the border of West Windsor and Robbinsville which are Princeton suburbs.
So yah, in NJ it's not a town per se, but if someone says they live there most people from the area would know where you're talking about.
I just laughed when he said 3.5 hours to the future was the most you could get by stepping one foot. Crossing the international date line takes me 1 day into the future.
you forgot about nepal utc+5.45
and chatham islands are +13:45
I'm from Southern California and I saw Point Roberts when I was in the bus traveling from Washington to British Columbia in June 2013.
I live in Windsor, Ontario which is the city that lies south of Detroit. In the song Don't Stop Believing, Steve Perry was actually looking at Windsor from his Detroit hotel when he wrote the lyric "born and raised in South Detroit".
please make more like these videos with information about the world map :D
Can we have more of this, please/
Yes
Damn I love your videos
Two more mildly interesting geographical facts:
The northernmost point of the Republic of Ireland is further north than Northern Ireland.
The easternmost point of Norway is further east than Istanbul.
He made the Ireland point in the 1st video
Fortunately, the city is not spelled "Eastanbul"!
Brilliant. Thanks!
Your voice makes my body feel weird.
thats called asmr
OMG Is this an ASMR channel!!??
Does anyone think he sounds a tiny bit like FrankJavCee
+Smooooth Yes
Smooooth holy shit
You should do the bizarre Emirati enclave of Nahwa, inside the Omani enclave of Madha, inside the UAE, for your next Map Geek's Tour. Also Uzbekistan being "double landlocked".
Lakeception!
CaptainAwesome No!
If you make a third episode, you should include the northwest angle of Minnesota, you have to cross through Canada to get there.
This video made me subscribe.
Geography Now named the island inside a lake inside another island inside another lake inside another Canadian island "Pancake island" and said he was going to step foot on it.
TylerNguyen1 I want to go with himto be honest
If you want to do another of these, you should talk about Moose Rock, which is located on a flood plain called Moose Flats, which is located on Ryan Island, which is located in Siskiwit Lake, which is located on Isle Royale, which is located on the Canadian side of Lake Superior. As we know, Lake Superior is generally regarded as the largest lake in the world. Isle Royale is the largest island in Lake Superior, while Siskiwit Lake is the largest lake on Isle Royale, and Ryan Island is the largest island in Lake Siskiwit. This means that when Moose Flats is flooded, Moose Rock has the distinction of being the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake on the largest island in the largest lake in the world.
The island on a lake on an island on Kikmetot lake on Victoria Island was the most interesting
Man just made another a video on the Scottish court in the Netherlands
Bravo!
Thank. for mentioning my home town
Very cool.
MAKE ANOTHER ONE PLZ :DDD
Over 10 million people live in the Amazon. The lack of bridges is mostly due to funding priorities.
it's more like lack of demand
Yeah, but it's a pretty huge area, so 10 million people really isn't very many.
You don't think 10 million people is enough for some bridges? How do you think food and gasoline get there to supply all those 10 million people? There is an enormous lack of funding and 10 million people is more than enough for brigdes.
Btw, Manaus has over 2 million people and many factories such as samsung, honda, sony and they get all their supplies via ferry because of the lack of bridges, which is fucked up.
@@mauriciobastazini8178 The State of Amazonas is roughly the size of Quebec and is extremely diversely populated. The only large city there is Manaus which has only one road going out of it. The Brazilian government probably just spends it's profits on farmland and improving the cities that are already there. Ferries are good enough to cross the Amazon and they don't cost a fortune unlike bridges.
@@mylolliepop12 Ferries cost more for all the companies located in Manaus, making Manaus less and less attractive for companies to open factories there. In the long term, building a bridge would be cheap compared to all the factories that will leave Manaus and the ones that will never open.
I like these videos. How do you come by the facts? Just random google-ing and/or Wikipedia, library?
the great western eurasian map wonders by telekinetic publishers
nitpicking, I agree but the picture of the ferry boat to illustrate those crossing the Amazon river is actually a ferry boat from Vietnam "3:41"
For ordinary mortals, the time zone step of 3.5 hours between Afghanistan and China is huge. But stepping across a pole, you can even make a time zone change of 12 hours!
MORE OF THIS
The Edinburgh of the seven seas is in a geographical location to where an aircraft would have a tailwind on way to st Helena and the Cessna caravan can travel 1213 miles but that means with no wind but with a tailwind it could easily make it to st Helena without cutting it dangerously close and the caravan can be equipped with floats and easily could be equipped with a larger fuel tank but have a less payload in exchange for the fuel weight so with that you could make it back against the wind and the floats make it a sea plane so while expensive other seaplanes could also make it but obviously the larger ones are more expensive so if you can get fuel out there you can get a flight thing working
I never realised i was a map geek
Actually, Tristan da Cunha is serviced regularly by a royal mail ship that brings produce, post and people to the island every month.
Madre de Dios has a bridge, its in Puerto Maldonado, Peru.
cool video
Aww, I was hoping you'd mention how Canada is connected east to west with one two lane highway eleven and railway in Ontario. With the agreements we have with the Canucks over Great Lakes travel, if the US wants to invade, we can just send a couple of boats up and raspberry the bridge and Canada will be in two.
so interesting..
Just wondering, isn't the longest river in the world the Amazon River? and the Nile is second?
It is... Or sort of is. The science is not raelly settled yet.
if you count only the main river, then nile is the longest. but if you count the tributary, amazon is the longest
Basically both the Nile and the Amazon are created by the merge of 2 other big rivers (that might have smaller rivers flowing into them, that can also be long). If you only count the length of the river after the 2 rivers merge, then the Nile is winning. If you count the actual water flow and take the longer of the 2 rivers that created the Nile/Amazon and add it in, Amazon is longer.
The amazon has a much larger volume of water and the most recent studies also say that the Amazon is the longest.
Why there is only 2 parts of this?
Want more! :)
Love the vids! A bit of feedback, I suggest working your presentation voice so you don't "rise" at the end of most of your sentences, as if it was a question, sometimes known as the upward inflection or according to wikipedia, the high rising terminal.
Absolutely. It's hard to listen to someone who sounds like they're asking 400 questions in a row.
This video and the first one of these have totally different production quality
love the bored voice
Edinburg in South Africa is pronounced Edin-burg. Eden as in the gardens of eden and burg as in Gettysburg.
I'm surprised nobody said anything about the shortest commercial flight touching down in Holland.
I love your videos. I bet other people do as well cuz: 1k likes and 4 dislikes
more weird map shit!
I live in Edinburgh, Indiana. We pronounce it "Ed-in-berg"
Great
More FACTS:
The island country of Trinidad was once connected to Venezuela and the South American continent until the last Ice Age.
Trinidad's sister island Tobago is actually farther after from Trinidad whose closest neighbour is Venezuela (6 miles)
great video...part 3?
"A video of smooth transitions #2"
couldn’t you technically step across the international date line and go forward or back up to 23 hours in time? Or if that doesn’t count you could step across the North or South pole and travel up to 12 hours in time.
Another really great border is the german- Belgian border. their is a railway line running several times through german terretorry but in fact is still belgium land. this 3m bride scrap of land cuts of several german regions from the german mainland and by that making them german exclaves within belgium. They have to cross the border 2 times to get to the rest of belgium because of that 3m wide railway line cutting them of.
The only reason that has never become a problem is that there are no "real" borders in the EU anymore and the belgiums accept that crossing that "border" is no problem.
But if you commit a crime in germany and run on that train track, the german police technically cant do anything towards you and has to watch you from 1,5m distance and wait for Belgium policemen to arrest you :D
(PS: It is called the Vennbahn, today a bycicle track)
Wouldn't a step out of Ethiopia have a bigger time zone change?
The phrase "Of The Seven Seas" in this case is only accurate in the most recent interpretations of the phrase. For most of history The Seven Seas referred to The Black, The Red, The Persian Gulf, The Arabian Sea/ Indian Ocean, The Mediterranean, The Caspian and The Adriatic. Some lists include The North Sea and The Atlantic. Only Modern interpretations include all the Oceans or anything South of the Equator for that matter.
What is the name of the island in a lake in an island in a lake on Victoria Island called? Having a little trouble looking for it on Google Maps.
69°47'32.5"N 108°14'25.7"W
ghajn thanks
Why is it called Wendover Productions tho?
You could say that the Most northern point of Ireland is in the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland
Harry Sinclair that was in part 1of map geek tour of the world
I want to go to the island that has a lake with an island with a lake that has an island.
I'm one of those half hour offsets its a bit annoying when converting.
As a person who loves maps, do you really want to travel or just love maps?
Roman Fox I want to travel,a lot
I found the lake!
Adelaide got a slight mention, where's all the Adelaide people at 👌🏻😂
#radelaide!!
+Hamish Richardson 👌🏻
I live in the Amazon and there are a few cities with over a million people. I don't know what you are talking about 3:30
So at the time zone border in Afghanistan where we can have two birthdays every year.
I don't know if china-afghanistan is the biggest time gap, how do time zones in antartica work?
Technically, the time in Antarctica is whatever time the country that claims each territory says it is (with unclaimed territory "set" at UTC +0:00), but many stations there will just ignore the "official" time and go with whatever time zone is decided on by the country that owns them or the time zone of their supply base. (Keep in mind that stations can be owned by one country but reside in the territory of another country.)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Antarctica
3:40 wtf man, you are talking about the Amazon and the words on the ferry says "Thủ Thiêm A" which is Vietnamese???
eyyy I live on westray
Northern most point of Ireland is also in the Republic, not Northern Ireland.
+abbott75 He mentioned that in the last video.
3:08 I don't get how this is counter intuitive, can someone please explain?
if you arent already aware of the position of Panama, you would think that due to the Pacific ocean being to the west of Central America (generally speaking) and the Atlantic Ocean being to the east of central america, the canal would run west to east; in fact it runs more north west to south east
more more more more more more more
Wait, what at 3:16?? In Panama the Pacific is the ocean to the SOUTH. The Atlantic (Caribbean) is the ocean to the NORTH!
zengseng His point was that the Atlantic end of the canal is slightly further west than the Pacific end of the canal.
Technically, borders are just invisible lines drawn in the dirty by man.
69.793° N, 108.241° W
The narrator sounds exactly like FrankJavCee
Umm.. the Yanomami tribe have been living in the Amazon to this day!
Yo the ferry is from Vietnam
that is westray
