    In the top ten least important things in WWII, 8 is the vending machine at pearl habor is restocked the day before the attack. My great grandfather bought a snickers bar for breakfast from that machine while between submarines when the attack started, and until the day he died he never remembered wether he eat it, shoved it in his pocket,threw it away, or what. It seemingly vanished, but he always remember buying it. My family often recalls this story but have never found anything about the snickers bar.

    Norway's claim actually does extend all the way to the south pole. On older maps it's only shown not to, because in the original wording of the claim the southern border was not explicitly defined. A few years ago Norway clarified that the claim actually extends all the way down to the pole. That "extension" was not a new claim, as that would have contradicted the Antarctic Treaty, but merely a clarification about the details of the original claim.

      Most likely they are referring to the Madrid Protocol ( or The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty) of 1991 which bans mining and went into effect in 1998 and is up for review after fifty years (2048). Being up for review however means that a majority of members need to actively want to change it rather than it just running out by default.

    And then not long later by total coincidence they found the hidden southern continent.

    • @alexanderguerrero1395

      Just for context, the full name was "terra australis incognita" (literally "southern unknown land") and "Australis" just means southern. So it wasn't an actual name, like Australia was (Australia more or less means "land of the South" in latin ).

    Thanks for actually going to Antarctica to show us what kind of land it is. Your professionalism has really touched my heart. In all honesty the video was very informative and fun to watch overall. Thanks for the amazing video and hope to see more.

      @David Shi Would you go to Antartica to give birth to your children so you have something to hold as a territorial claim? I bet you would not. Neither would any sane person living in Argentina or Chile. If there have been people born there, it was because their parents were there conducting research projects and they miscalculated the birth date or their plans to go back to the continent suffered some sort of unpredicted delay. If the babies were given Argentinean or Chilean nationality, that was because they were born in Argentinean or Chilean research bases, and the same rule as being born at sea applies where babies have the nationality of the vessel's country flag.

    3. Rewatch to laugh again fully at the funny bits.
