Do those 4 points have street addresses? If there are no names or addresses, I suggest we petition the Pope to name them. My nominees for the names of the 4 extreme points would be: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. (You saw that one coming, didn't you?)
The two Point Udalls are the easternmost and westernmost by direction of travel, not longitude! By longitude, both points are in Alaska! Here's the history on why they have the same name: Point Udall on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands is the original Point Udall and was named in 1969 for Stewart Udall, who was an Arizona congressman and Secretary of the Interior under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson. Point Udall in Guam on the other hand is named after his brother, Arizona congressman Morris "Mo" Udall. It was originally called Orote Point until it was renamed in Morris's honor in 1987 after a proposal by Congressman Denny Smith of Oregon and was designated by Guamanian governor Joseph Franklin Ada. When the Guamanian point's renaming was proposed, Congressman Smith and Guam's nonvoting congressional delegate Ben Blaz explained that "America's day would begin and end at a Point Udall". And after Morris died in 1998 at age 76, Bill Clinton said "It is fitting that the easternmost point of the United States, in the Virgin Islands, and the westernmost point, in Guam, are both named 'Udall Point.' The Sun will never set on the legacy of Mo Udall". Stewart would die in 2010 at age 90.
Thanks! I love these kind of statistics and wish this site had covered them: southernmost northern point (Uruguay as you said); northernmost southern point (probably Iceland); easternmost western point and westernmost eastern point. Also: lowest highest point (probably Maldives) and highest lowest point (perhaps Bolivia?). I'm weird and I have no life..... 😊
The vast majority of Australians are unaware of Australias highest point. Most understand it to be Mt Kosciusko on the mainland however that is incorrect. The summit of Big Ben (an active volcano on Heard Island) is Mawson Peak at 2,745m and is the highest point of Aus.
Yes! Part 2! Canada, Australia, Brazil, China, Mexico, Italy, Indonesia, and maybe another continent...South or North America would be interesting. Europe too. So would Asia...I'm just gonna name all of them! Edited to add: Chile is also a must!
I can explain the reason the Northwest Angle is that way: It's due to an erroneous map consulted while drafting the Treaty of Paris in 1783. As part of negotiations to conclude the American Revolution, Great Britain recognized and approved a boundary between the US and Canada that ran from the East Coast to the Mississippi River. While determining the US's northern border, negotiators worked off a map from 1755 that incorrectly showed Lake of the Woods as being smaller and differently shaped than it actually is. This caused cartographers to believe Lake of the Woods, and, by extension, the Northwest Angle, were adjacent to the Mississippi Headwaters. It wasn’t until 1798 that a British explorer proved the Headwaters was not actually connected to Lake of the Woods. In the Anglo-American Convention of 1818, the error regarding the Mississippi River was corrected by having the boundary continue due south from the northwest point of the lake, but only to the 49th parallel and then westward along it. The Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 reaffirmed this border. Because of laws restricting fishing, some residents of the Northwest Angle suggested joining Canada in 1997. When a congressman proposed legislation to let the residents vote on leaving, this angered the leaders of Red Lake Indian Reservation, which holds most of the Northwest Angle's land.
@The Geography BIble, i found a minor issue at 1:13. You've said that the easternmost point is point udall, which is correct from a travel point of view, but when viewed form a longitudinal POV there is pochnoi point on semisopochnoi island alaska which falls at 179 degrees and 46 minutes east. But again, this is in reference to the IDT, not direction of travel. Overall good video though! :D
4:00 : Pronunciation tip : "Il de Bwan" ("e" of "de" pronunced like the "u" of "hurry") Plus the human presence in the region is not on this island, which is just a tiny rock assicated to the Kerguelen Islands. The human settlement you mention is ~120km away North-East to it, on the main island of the Kerguelen Islands
If you include transcontinental islands in Africa, the westernmost part is some islands in Portugal/Spain, while the easternmost part is Socotra. The easternmost part of the UK is The British Indian Ocean Territory, not the controversial military bases in Cyprus.
The production is entertaining, but a weakness is that countries and their territories are mixed up. For example, Dhekelia is not part of the UK but a territory that the UK owns.
You are wrong about the US and Russia's easternmost and westernmost points. For Russia, its easternmost point is the exact same as its westernmost point; the district of Chukotka, including Wrangel Island. For the US, its easternmost point is Semisopochnoi Island, and its westernmost point is one of the outlying Delarof Islands. Both are part of the Aleutian Island chain.
1:29 if there's a mountain I'd really love to climb it's Denali along with Kilimanjaro. Something absolutely magnificent about these mountains. Mount Everest has absolutely no appeal to me and some others like Aconcagua are just straight-up terrifying Ps. The big mountain in Hawaii is also great 😃👍🏻
You mean you don't want to see dead bodies, literal shit on the ground and litter left everywhere? Along with the sherpas doing most of the hard work for you? How doesn't that sound appealing.
@@ShedowGame Quite frankly I think it's you who needs to review the Antarctic Treaty. While it doesn't renounce any previous claims made before the treaty came into force, it also doesn't give the claims any international recognition or legal basis. Every member that has joined the Treaty is freely allowed to access all parts of the Antarctica (Including Terre Adelie) at all times, so thus no party solely "owns" any part of it. In addition, only 5 countries (out of a total of 56 that are part of the treaty) recognize France's claim, so I would say it (as well as the other 7 claims) is very much disputed.
I have been to two of the spots. Africa's westernmost point. There is a huge statue representing African Renasance . Also the southern most of the Vatican
Please do more. Lowest points of countries like Bolivia, Nepal, Bhutan vs highest points of Poland, Mongolia, Malawi Also do longest rivers passing through least number of countries vs shortest rivers passing through most number of countries. Shortest distance to the ocean for all land locked countries. Also rank land locked nations by sea food consumption. Do any of them exceed per capita consumption of countries with a coastline? Top ten deepest points on dry land below sea level. Countries with most percentage area covered by water. Coldest points close to the equator vs warmest (hottest) points close to the poles.
This video is very inaccurate. If you measure the easternmost and westernmost points in France by using their coordinates (thus splitting by the 180th meridian), instead of by direction of travel, you should also do this for the US. This would mean that the easternmost is Semisopochnoi Island, Alaska and the westernmost should be Amatignak Island, Alaska. These islands are only apart by a couple miles but get split by the 180th meridian, as do the islands of France.
unpopular opinion maybe? including overseas territories and stuff like that certainly makes it fun, seeing just the continental extreme points would be more interesting
Alaska is the furthest eastern state in the USA. The most western Aleutian Islands cross the International Dateline, making them east of the continental mainland.
One that I even had to look up because I couldn’t believe it is that Canada’s easternmost point is closer to Estonia than it is to Canada’s westernmost point
Isn't part of Alaska across the 180⁰ line? If so, wouldn't the east most part of the USA Bethe closest part of Alaska to one side of the line, and west most be the opposite side of the line?
If I remember correctly I was advised the Alaskan Elusion Island chain extends beyond the International date line making them the furthest eastern points within the US.
Alaska have Islands on the other side of the international date line. With is the fastest east u can get in america. I would head west to get there but as soon as u cross the line you are east and secret time zones ahead
I may be wrong but, for the UK, isn't Diego Garcia, the island they use for a military base in the Indian Ocean, further east than Cyprus? Perhaps you excluded it because there is a dispute over it, but if that's the case, I'm unfamiliar with any dispute over the sovereignty of the island, only the dispute over the right of the former native people to return. I'm happy to be educated on any of these if someone cares to comment.
Great video! For a possible part 2, you should include Norway, as the distance between the northernmost and southernmost point is insane, the most extreme in the world i believe
For Japan, there is also what is considered a mainland IE the 4 main Islands, and each of those has extreme points as well. Cape Sata in Kagoshima(Southern Most) In Hokkaido Cape Soya(Northernmost) Cape Noshappu(Easternmost) And Kozakihana in Nagasaki(Westernmost)
Hey um, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but making a video of extreme points of countries and continents and the only continent in question being Africa while we live in a world that severely segregates said continent seems a bit disingenuous. I like your videos and I understand that keeping them somewhat short is key to getting a greater audience, but perhaps you could do a part two showcasing more continents and fewer countries to maybe balance it out? Perhaps extreme points of America (the continent, not the country) and Oceania as well as some countries in Africa itself to show some diversity in the continent!
Things wrong with Northern-most point in Africa: Ras Ben Sakka is not Cap Blanc. It is called Cap Angela in French. Cap Blanc is a cap slightly to the east of it. Also, the pointer shows the Galite Islands in Tunisia, which are not named Cap Blanc as is shown in the video. They are not on the mainland, but they are the also the Northen-most point in Africa if you include islands.
It would be nice to have extremes with civilians living. Honestly an atol that 50 soldiers are guarding is not that interesting. Because I cannot go there…
In Key West, Florida, USA, there is a colorful monument claiming to mark "the Southernmost Point in the United States." It is not in the water. Therefore i just walked behind the monument and found myself SOUTH of the SOUTHERNMOST point. (I wonder if I was still in the USA?) 😱😊
Idk why but counting overseas territoties, or even islands unconected to the continent. especially random small uninhabted islands is kinda flat to me. Like they seem too arbitrary. But like most people are saying, more parts would be cool!
At least by longitude the easternmost point of the US is Semispochnoi Island and the westernmost point is Amatignak Island and are seperated by about 100km
Also if you zoom on minamitori island, among all the military facilities, you'll find a house with a swimming pool, in the bottom of which you can clearly see the Playboy bunny.
@@danielszekeres8003 It has nothing to do with accent. There is a correct way to pronounce the word, and an incorrect way. It's as simple as looking at the spelling of the word. Not rocket science.
Household income can be divided into two sources: government employees, contractors and beneficiaries and private industry employees. This gives a more accurate view of the impact of federal spending on the economy at large. Default on the debt would destabilize capitalism. Mutual funds and long term investments are leveraged by federal debt holdings. Default in this debt and the accounts are only backed by secondary market speculation, which has no intrinsic value. In bankruptcy, its value us zero. Debt, however (including government holdings) is backed by the ability and willingness to tax incomes, particularly those of high income households. This unwillingness by Republicans has led to the recent downgrade of its debt from AAA to AA+
Small correction: The South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands are all disputed by Argentina, just like the Falkland / Malvinas Islands. And while Thule Island IS the Southernmost point of the UK not counting the Antartic claim, since you didn't want this video to include disputed territories, you should've mentioned Gough Island (Tristan da Cunha) in the South Antlantic instead! It's located 10,250kms away from London and is known to be closest land to the most remote island in the World, Bouvet Island, "only" ~1840kms separate the two! Human eye didn't get a glimpse of the place until 1505 and it (alongside the Inaccessible Island futher north) is a UNESCO World heritage site. Nobody lives on the island aside from a handful of South African researchers who staff the weather station on the east coast.
first off, for crying out loud, it's "contiguous"! "contigous" is not a word. so many other errors and inconsistencies, over the most basic facts. unsubscribed.
Have you ever heard of pronunciation for different ways? pronouncing things exist and different accents do this a lot just because you had one way of pronouncing. It does not mean it’s correct.
The Vatican owns various buildings outside the city itself which it considers fully sovereign territory. Why do you not count these, but include France's territories, for example?
Doing the extreme points in Vatican City was a baller move: This point. This point. This point. And this point.

The eastern most point of the USA is technically in Alaska because the Aleutian Islands cross the 180° Longitude point
In Russia, 180 meridian passes through Chukotka - according to your logic, this is both the westernmost and the easternmost edge of Russia.
