The island is called Novaya Zemlya, it’s off the north coast of Russia Fun fact: the Tsar bomba (deadliest nuclear warhead) was made by the Soviets in 1961 was dropped on this island from mainland Russia, it was a part of the nuclear arms race against the United States,
I immediately thought of Tsar Bomba, too. I guess a remote arctic island really doesn't have much about it to rival the fact that it was hit by the largest nuclear bomb in history.
The island is Novaya Zemlya, it's in Russia. I watched a video a few years ago about some nuke that was dropped there. It was actually a pretty cool story. Edit: Ok, we get it guys, you know what the island is, you're not special. Plz stop blowing up my phone 😭

It's not true. Maybe it's closer if you're judging by the middle of Lake Erie but driving time through the closet international crossing its about 1.5 hrs further.

@cynicallydepressed1 Yes except the boundary through the Great Lakes (which measurement stated in this video) is separated by water. If it is arbitrary, it's this video that drew the parameters.
@@bainbridgejim, the boundaries are not where the 'map guy' drew them, they are literally drawn by international neighbors with treaties on the matter.

He doesn't say, "Canada dry land" or "Canadian ports of entry", or "the first place in Canada you can sit on a log" or whatever standard YOU are using. He just says 'to Canada'...and THAT is indisputably true by the facts and logic. "Driving time" isn't a measure of distance in that way either.

That isn't the premise of the map though...It's just a map, not a GPS planner.
@cynicallydepressed1 thanks for making my point. Where the guy drew the bounties is about 15 miles further than what he claimed. If he was doing international boundaries of the southern most point (an island halfway across the lake) he's correct. But he took it to the mainland, in which case he's close but about 10-15 miles off. It's that close. SPLITTING HAIRS of course.
thats because we cut like 90% or more of it down and realized hey we need wood. and then planted trees again. its the same with deer. there was at one point less than 100k deer in north america. and we decided to repopulate them and create hunting seasons. we are starting to repopulate beavers now also.

@@FieldLing639 just like humans trees grow up the die. Just like humans trees die naturally or some die untimely deaths from forest fire or disease, and some provide crucial resources for us. They don’t live forever. The virgin forests that were here before us replaced a forest before them. It’s the way it was designed. We need forests, we need to take care of them, but let’s not idolize virgin forest. Forests have actually grown over the earth as a whole in the last 40 years.

That argument is stupid to begin with. You don't have to connect everything and everyone for high speed rail to work. You can connect few key points whether it's only within a state or across 2-3 states and will still work. It just won't be as convenient as high speed rail in japan because of how car centric the current infrastructure is.
@@zhixci958, it REALLY comes down to, though, how much influence the airline, the automakers and Big Oil have in lobbying. We underwrite a LOT of their businesses (for no good reason) and get little back as taxpayers. We should divest from them and build a far-more efficient rail network that would save money and time and make general life-quality improvements. Instead, we have a broken system beholden to the rich few that keep their personal gravy train running while the rest of us have to suffer with airport security or artificially high oil/gas prices.
@cynicallydepressed1 yep, high speed rail would be easily implemented in the US. The problem is they look only at profit and it's easily more profitable to stay with the current transportation. If you made cheap and easy transport, then you wouldn't get milked for every dollar you make. If even a quarter of the population relied on such public transport, it would put a huge dent in profit for a sizeable number of companies. So it's unlikely to happen any time soon. Edit: I forgot to mention it would increase long distance mobility for the lower income or barely middle class. This would drive wages up as companies would have to compete in a larger area since 30 minutes in a high speed train can get people much further than diving. You'd also see people leaving their area easier to accept jobs outside of their state. No industry in the US wants a highly mobile workforce.
It’s a lot of factors and not as much with lobbyists as you believe. The US is not a whole country, there’s thousands of areas throughout the country that is protected, reserved, and unable to build in. It’s like Swiss cheese. With how many different state governments and funding it’s also hard to go cross state and even county lines. Meanwhile in China, all land is owned by the government, they can do whatever they want with it, with little to no restrictions. Furthemore, China has a lot more stable weather and the population is highly concentrated to one part of the country where as the US have very little need to travel between high density areas. The US would benefit more from intercity or localized monorail over high speed rail
That's really interesting that Australia and the USA fit almost perfectly, especially since I don't think they were connected during the pangea epoque. Or were they??.
@@eanoworro1028 After watching this short, I watched a video about Pangea. And according to the video, Pangea was constantly changing so the continents weren't always bordering the same ones so that could have something to do with it. Kangaroos in New Jersey 😂
The map of Australia is odd. It includes Darwin, which at 132000 makes up a quarter of the 2%, but excludes a vast area in the north west that that would probably have less than 10,000.
Having lived there, I can say that there's substantially more than 10,000 people across the Kimberley, although it is still far less than the population of Darwin. Maybe 20,000 in the East Kimberley and a little more than that in the west (which includes Broome and Derby)?

IK know I live I Knoxville and I do not like to braves but I have to watch every game
Knoxvegas native too
Y'all get Raptors games lol!
I'm going to have to research this
Idk WTH the NBA lets anyone watch anymore. A lot of games I try to watch aren’t part of my “locally designated viewing area” (too far away) and now I learn you can’t view games within the same state 😂 WTF?!?
In three years of living in Vietnam, I only encountered two bathrooms that didn't have a bidet; they're absolutely ubiquitous there, so I'm not sure why Vietnam isn't highlighted on the map.
As well as Thailand. They all have bum guns.
So many errors on this map... France, Italy and Spain have bidets only in rare places
Bc most of them are very inaccurate lol
@@GuillaumeSillon France had bidets everywhere 40-50 years ago. Sadly they almost disappeared since and are just starting to come back.
@@GuillaumeSillonwdym I am Italian and bidets are super common here
That baby bird flying 13000+ km in 11 days is how my grandparents would describe the trip to primary school.

Of the 6 cities in Arizona that have over 250,000 people, 5 of those are in the Phoenix metro area.
There are also an additional 4 cities in the Phoenix metro area with populations of between 150,000 people and 250,000 people.

Surely Russian people would know what island that is
Very remote national park would be a cool visit.
That is that northern island that looks giant on maps right?
@JimNoltie Google says Serveny Island is the 30th-largest island in the world and the 3rd-largest uninhabited island in the world so not small by any means.
I knew the island was above Russia somewhere, I just couldn’t remember the name for the life of me💀

science fact: the continents fitting together proves a science theory called continental drift, a theory where all the continents used to fit together and formed a landmass called Pangea.
Same with West coast of africa and east coast of south america
However, North America and Australia were never fit together like this.
Except that it is impossible for the west coast of Australia and east coast of America to have once been joined even if they do appear to “ fit”.
But then why do all the continental shelfs fit together in the Pacific as well?
The scientist that came up with that theory was ostracized! Scientists should be more open minded🤔
Well this island is in Russia and in Poland we call it ''Nowa Ziemia'', so in English it would be ''New Earth'' (idk how is it in Russian), that island is arctic island and its located in very far north, hope that i explain it well :)
In Russian it's Новая Земля. Toponyms are never translated with context, so in English it's Novaya Zemlya
@@The_Awesome_Guy Oh okay i see, thanks for telling about it :)
In Novaya Zemlya the largest nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) was tested at an explosive power of 57 megatons
Remember people, virgin forest doesn’t mean no forest at all.
But it’s just as important
@@FieldLing639 just like humans trees grow up the die. Just like humans trees die naturally or some die untimely deaths from forest fire or disease, and some provide crucial resources for us. They don’t live forever. The virgin forests that were here before us replaced a forest before them. It’s the way it was designed. We need forests, we need to take care of them, but let’s not idolize virgin forest. Forests have actually grown over the earth as a whole in the last 40 years.
@@FieldLing639not really
@@robustanybody5138 It is though
Novaya Zemlya is pretty easy to recognize. A fictionalized version appears in Nabokov's "Pale Fire".
(I LOVE that book. Hilarious and so clever!)
It was a Dutch Island. dutch explorers wanted to go to india via a northern route. weather was bad winter kicked in and they got stuck at Nova Zembla (dutch name) Novaya Zemlya (russian translation).

High speed railway map debunks USA is too big for fast trains
Less population density. Notice how China doesn’t have many in the west
That argument is stupid to begin with.
You don't have to connect everything and everyone for high speed rail to work. You can connect few key points whether it's only within a state or across 2-3 states and will still work.
It just won't be as convenient as high speed rail in japan because of how car centric the current infrastructure is.
@@zhixci958, it REALLY comes down to, though, how much influence the airline, the automakers and Big Oil have in lobbying. We underwrite a LOT of their businesses (for no good reason) and get little back as taxpayers. We should divest from them and build a far-more efficient rail network that would save money and time and make general life-quality improvements.
Instead, we have a broken system beholden to the rich few that keep their personal gravy train running while the rest of us have to suffer with airport security or artificially high oil/gas prices.
@cynicallydepressed1 yep, high speed rail would be easily implemented in the US. The problem is they look only at profit and it's easily more profitable to stay with the current transportation. If you made cheap and easy transport, then you wouldn't get milked for every dollar you make. If even a quarter of the population relied on such public transport, it would put a huge dent in profit for a sizeable number of companies. So it's unlikely to happen any time soon.
Edit: I forgot to mention it would increase long distance mobility for the lower income or barely middle class. This would drive wages up as companies would have to compete in a larger area since 30 minutes in a high speed train can get people much further than diving. You'd also see people leaving their area easier to accept jobs outside of their state. No industry in the US wants a highly mobile workforce.
It’s a lot of factors and not as much with lobbyists as you believe. The US is not a whole country, there’s thousands of areas throughout the country that is protected, reserved, and unable to build in. It’s like Swiss cheese. With how many different state governments and funding it’s also hard to go cross state and even county lines. Meanwhile in China, all land is owned by the government, they can do whatever they want with it, with little to no restrictions. Furthemore, China has a lot more stable weather and the population is highly concentrated to one part of the country where as the US have very little need to travel between high density areas. The US would benefit more from intercity or localized monorail over high speed rail
i recognized those islands instantly
Aye! Shout out from East Tennessee!
I love how Maryland and Delaware are just lumped together 😂

Hey guys Brazilian here and... I don't even know what a bidet is kkkkk
That's really interesting that Australia and the USA fit almost perfectly, especially since I don't think they were connected during the pangea epoque. Or were they??.
No. Its just a coincidence. North America and Africa were connected.
Columbus meet aboriginals in America and they enslaved them... OLMEC
That's what I'm wondering. Does Jersey have kangaroo?
@@eanoworro1028 After watching this short, I watched a video about Pangea. And according to the video, Pangea was constantly changing so the continents weren't always bordering the same ones so that could have something to do with it. Kangaroos in New Jersey 😂
Pangea is just the name for the most recent supercontinent, but all the continents were joined together many times before, and they will join again
The map of Australia is odd. It includes Darwin, which at 132000 makes up a quarter of the 2%, but excludes a vast area in the north west that that would probably have less than 10,000.
Having lived there, I can say that there's substantially more than 10,000 people across the Kimberley, although it is still far less than the population of Darwin. Maybe 20,000 in the East Kimberley and a little more than that in the west (which includes Broome and Derby)?
Ahh yes another dose of maps that will change the way you see the USA
As a japanese, I have never seen a bidet in 21 years living here in Japan, neither does my mom LOL
Go to the malls in Yokohama.
Wish we had that high speed rail here. I would see alot more of the country
yes, but with better building standards. The Chinese ones can fall down suddenly.
I’m pretty sure the government is finding multiple private companies to build high speed rail lines across the country
The US has too much protected and restricted land. Good luck getting a straight line going

Africa fits up to the east coast of the U.S., because that’s where it used to be. Australia fits up in to India and on the east coast of Africa.
Africa fits up to South America. Europe was the landmass that was once next to North America. In fact, the Highlands of Scotland and the Appalachian Mountains of the Eastern US are the same mountain range, torn in two by continental drift.
Africa fits in to the Gulf of Mexico. I suppose that isn’t the east coast.
No sir America fits perfectly with Europe and South America fits perfectly with Africa
Negative, Africa fits perfectly with both North America and South America. Look at the map of Pangea
that's part of the fun fact, NA and AUS had nothing to do with eachother yet their coastlines match almost perfectly
Nova Zembla
Maybe the Tectonic movement chart is wrong, and Australia and the US used to be connected.
For bidet, you forgot to highlight Bangladesh lol😂
