The North Pole and South Pole
The northernmost point on earth, and the southernmost point on earth, on opposite ends of the globe.
Both kind of get one really long day each year, with six months of daylight, followed by six months of night. So only one sunrise and sunset a year, yo. This is due to the earth being tilted on its axis. The axis of the earth is almost always pointing in the same direction in space. However, relative to the Sun, the tilt direction changes as the earth orbits it. Each pole tilts toward the Sun for half the year and then away from the Sun the other half of the year.
Anyway, this is also why it gets very, very, very freaking cold at both places. However, it gets much,much colder at the South Pole. The lowest temperature ever recorded at the South Pole was -82.8°C, or -117°F, whereas the lowest temperature ever recorded at the North Pole was -50°C, or -58°F. Now, the lowest temperature ever directly recorded at ground level on Earth was −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). And that was at the Vostok Station in Antarctica, which is about 798 miles, or 1,284 km, from the South Pole.
Now, the HIGHEST temperature ever recorded at the South Pole was only -12.3°C, or 10°F. Yep, it never gets anywhere close to above freezing there. The North Pole, on the other hand, once recorded a temperature of 13 °C, or 55 °F.
This is why some wildlife has been spotted near the North Pole, but basically only a rare type of bacteria has ever been actively observed at the South Pole, although that has been disputed. Even animals like polar bears and arctic foxes have been known to wander near the North Pole, and one animal, a type of sea anemone, apparently lives in the water at and around the North Pole. Craziness.
What is the most ridiculous Mr. Beat Compared video idea you can think of?
Also, Merry Christmas. Believe it or not, this is the first video I've ever released on Christmas.

Chad vs North Korea
The Soviet Union and modern Russia.
Mr. Beat, can you please compare Louisiana and Arkansas?
Australia and New Zealand compared, please!
Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago
Next up: Venus and Earth compared
That would be so cool.
haha or Venus and Mars!
@@iammrbeat Maybe you could also consider Mercury and the Moon, Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, or Pluto and Ceres.
Theres nothing to compare except size tbh
@@iammrbeat Is that a reference haha
Mr. Beat. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed.
You are too kind. :D
@@iammrbeat you forgot to mention the story about how the doc did surgery on himself without anesthesia for his appendix

No
Would you think weather North Pole the ice was Frozen all the way to to the land ground if not couldnt it just float around earth hmmm
Like if Mr. Beat should compare North America and South America.
😳
And North Africa and South Africa?
Or East and West Europe compared - that wouldn't at all be considered offensive by anyone, right?
Wait Who's Mr beat? Should I like?
@@Jaden104 Mr. Beat is the name of the RUclips channel you are watching. 😅
Saying Santa lives at the North Pole is just a misdirection russe to draw attention away from the Aliens at the South Pole...
FACT
QUIET YOU. You've already typed too much.
*Area 51 would like to know your location*
Next Video: The Equator and the Prime Meridian compared.
Equator: north south
Prime meridian: East west
There ya go
Seriously not a bad idea.
@@iammrbeat I’m glad you like it. 😁
@@gmerriman1500 Equator goes all the way around, Prime Meridian only goes halfway.
@@big8dog887 oh wait I never realized that😳
Can you do The Netherlands and Belgium compared
I would love to.
Luxemborg(sp) would like to complain.
And about my spelling as well.
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!
One fact that surprised me when you said it, but makes sense when I think about it: there is nothing larger than bacteria living at the South Pole (and of course the humans visiting). The penguins and skuas and everything else stay near the coast, nothing ventures far inland.
.
Conspiracy Theory:
Santa Clause really lives in the South Pole.
lol I just typed this above. Great minds think alike
Either that or he is using the same invisibility shields that the military uses to camouflage themselves.
@@liam-man7265 Exactly
@@iammrbeat It is the summer vacation home!
Apparently Satan Claus lives where and then who is demonically St. Nicolas? 🙄
North Pole: Has Santa Claus
South Pole: Does not have Santa Claus, just penguins and stuff.
North Pole Wins!
I have a conspiracy theory in my pocket that says Santa _really_ lives at the South Pole.
The problem is that the North Pole is at sea, and during Christmas it is as dark as ever. Santa Claus should move to the South Pole.
Penguins are awesome!
@@andrevont9065 And the penguins stay on the coast because that's where the fish are.
This can be heavily disputed.
I thought this was an April Fools joke until I saw "31 minutes ago" lmao
It's a Christmas miracle.
Its like the opposite of winter season today
Honorable mentions.
1.) Antarctica has its own Ocean. It is called the Southern Ocean. Also known as the Antarctica Ocean.
2.) You can fly over both locations in a day if you wish to. Qantas Airlines flies out of Australia (Sydney, New South Wales and Brisbane, Queensland) on selected dates during their Summer Months. Their boarding passes will say secret gate when you get them printed out after checking in. You can also fly over the North Pole from Newark, New Jersey and/or New York City, New York Airport to Hong Kong if no tribulation issues. They are the cheapest options as you can look out the window and watch the map on your television in the seat, you're sitting in to know you're flying over the locations. On a side note, you have someone dressed up as a penguin if you fly with Qantas since you will not see any flying over Antarctica.
Merry Christmas, Mr Beat!
Merry Christmas!
This is a good time to compare these two. Tensions are rising and it's looking like there might be a war to see which is the superior pole. Scary times we live in.
Penguins vs. Polar Bears.
The Great Polar War of 2021 will go down in history.
@@iammrbeat lofl😂
1960s: _the cold war_
2060s: *THE FREEZING WAR*
Merry Christmas Mr. Beat!! You deserve a break for consistently making quality content throughout the year for us, your channel is getting really big now! If possible, you should definitely try and make a video next month about presidential inaugurations.
Thanks Joshua! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas mr beat
Merry Christmas!
Huge fan of you sir! Merry Christmas
Yay you did the video I’ve been wanting for so long!!!
Me: RUclips can't get any better.
Mr. Beat: hold my coffee.
I rarely give up my coffee. I am very protective of it.😎
😂
This video is wry, and has just the right amount of humor, please keep making more :)
Thanks Hirum!
We need a Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean compared video lol
It's so insane I might just be able to pull it off.
Next: Australia and Austria compared. Used to always get them confused.
Maybe eventually, but before that the epic Australia and New Zealand comparison.
@@iammrbeat keen AF for that
I know that one has dingoes and the other has veal schnitzel.
ive been wanting to see a video on this topic for awhile! subbed!
Merry Christmas Mr. Beat! Loved the video. Waiting patiently for the presidential election of 2020 video
Thank you, Merry Christmas! Oh and it's coming. :D
You are so cool Mr. Beat. Thank you for the awesome videos.
Thanks :D
I only recently discovered this channel and I have been binge watching your videos ever since. I love this educational content. Thanks for making learning actually entertaining Mr Beat!
Same ! His humor, sarcasm and telling the history without sugarcoating is what had me binge every video lol.
I grew up in Brooklyn, NY so every since I started traveling all over I'm even more interested in what's outside of NYC.
Good videos Mr.Beat. Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas Mr. Beat
Merry Christmas Kevin!
I Needed This
YES
I'VE BEEN WATING FOR THIS YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS
Wootness!
You should compare Qatar To Saudi Arabia!
Merry Christmas Mr.Beat!
Merry Christmas!
Like to wish Mr. Beat a Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Good content here! Can you do a video comparing the US East Coast and West Coast? Thanks, Mr Beat. Merry Christmas
Interesting video. Thank you and Have a Merry Christmas.
Thank you Diann and Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, mr beat!
Merry Christmas!
Great vidio.Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! 🎄🎅🏻🎁
Merry Christmas!
Marry Christmas Mr. Beat.
I have never been so proud of being a Norwegian! I have even read a book about Herr. Amundsen. 🤧
Merry Christmas !
Merry Christmas, Mr. Beat.
Merry Christmas!
Funny, original, and in the Christmas mood ! I like this idea !
By the way, could you do France vs Germany ? I really like your job
*Update! The coldest temperature ever recorded is now -98 degrees Celsius*
You should make a video comparing Virginia & West Virginia.
Merry Christmas Mr Beat. Best Christmas present.
Same to you!
For further reading on the North Pole and its Transpolar Drift Stream, I recommend the "log book" of the "MOSAiC Expedition" that drifted with the sea ice across the central Arctic from September 2019 to October 2020.
Mr. Beat always sounds as if he is maniacally excited and bored to tears at the exact same time! 🤣
Great video!
Are you able to Australia & New Zealand next?
I got your book for Christmas!
Yay! Thanks to whoever got it for you!
Hey when is the 2020 election video coming out?
February
Merry day to you too!
Merry Christmas 🎁 everyone :D
Great info
Merry Christmas everyone!
Exactly what I wanted for Christmas.
Well Merry Christmas!
@@iammrbeat Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Did you get what you wanted for Christmas?
I did pretty well. I didn't want anything I got lots. Check out my Insta for a couple of the cool gifts.
This was a very nice vid it felt so professional and it wasn’t boring professional
Mr. Beat, can you please make a video titled 'Malaysia and Indonesia Compared'. Merry Christmas to you.
Heck yeah and Merry Christmas!
🔥🔥🔥 These fires came while listening 🎧
I got the Mr Beat book for Xmas.
What next, Prime Meridian vs Equator? (Although that'd be a good video.)
Oh goodness I don't know *SURE WHY NOT*
Merry Christmas Matt, hope you and your family had a good Christmas in the circumstances. I'll never forget the first time I heard that Antarctica (and hence the South Pole) was a landmass and the Arctic isn't (well, not at the North Pole anyway). It was from former Monty Python actor Michael Palin's travel documentary "Pole to Pole." Recorded in 1991, it is a time warp if ever there was one (but more on that in a bit). His plan was to (no surprise) was to travel from the North Pole to the South Pole. His route was determined by the aspiration to use the 30° East line of longitude where possible (the one with the greatest landmass) and where logistically possible to minimise the use of aircraft.
(Spoilers) apart from difficulties encountered enroute like being held up at the border between Egypt and Sudan, breaking his ribs having completed a run of White Water Rafting and trying and failing to find a spot for himself and the film crew on the only sailing between Cape Town, South Africa to Antarctica, he was eventually able to complete the journey. He was able to complete the journey through the use of Adventure Network, when he went from the tip of Africa to the tip of South America, in Punta Arenas, Chile. As I mentioned already, it was filmed in 1991 and the route he took took him to countries that (as of 2020) no longer exist or didn't exist back then. The first was when he travelled by ferry from the Finnish capital city, Helsinki, across the Baltic Sea to Talin (in modern day Estonia) in what was at the time the Soviet Union (in fact, months after they left the Soviet Union, it fell apart). Later, in Africa, he was travelling through Sudan, some 20 years before Sudan was split into 2 countries. Also in Africa, the year he was there, a ceasefire was declared in the war between Ethiopia and Eritrean rebels (as they were referred to at the time) and it was 2 years before Eritrea became independent from Ethiopia in 1993.
There was also something politically significant about his time in South Africa. Even though Appartheid was still going on there, it was clear that it was on the way out and by 1994, that was the case with Nelson Mandela being elected South Africa's first Black president
I can't wait to check that documentary out, although I might have to do some digging. Merry Christmas to you!
Good news. I already found it on RUclips 😆
Awesome vid as always.
Greetings from Argentina.
Thanks 😊
@@iammrbeat Oh cool! I didn't thought you would answer. Have a nice evening and Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays.
Merry Christmas!
Video Idea: an overview of each president's term/terms in office.
Will you do a video soon on how you would vote in presidential elections from 1788-1976?
Perhaps for a livestream? I do like this idea.
@@iammrbeat Hey thanks. Sorry for bugging you so much about it.
Good Video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Compare Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Right next to each other, same language, similar climate and history, but very different countries in so many ways.
So different. Great suggestion!
The picture at 5:49 isn't at the north pole; it's at the "pole of inaccessibility" in Antarctica. It's the location the furthest inland on the continent. The Soviets set up a small station in the 1950's (I believe) there and erected a bust of Lenin, which is still there.
So Buzz Aldrin, the man who flew so high and reached the moon alongside his fellows, had to leave the south pole because it was too high?
Happy Boxing Day, Mr. Beat!
Haha same to you
@@iammrbeat Of course Boxing Day is of course celebrated by going to the After-Christmas sales (as if enough debt hasn't been incurred already)!
Great video, I've recently found this channel from Lennox T. Anderson. This is really interesting.
Mr. Beat, could you compare the Canadian provinces?
Off topic, but when are you going to release the 2020 election video?
Please do Auckland and Wellington compared!!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year greetings from Georgia Also I kind of want to make a parliamentary republic in the South Pole
Merry Christmas! And go for it. Part of it is unclaimed.
@@iammrbeat king Matt beat And Prime Minister tigerstar
Being Christmas Day and all, I figured we should confirm Santa Claus' exact address at the North Pole:
Santa Claus
North Pole, Canada
H0H 0H0
Correct. The geographic North pole is Canadian. I may be slightly biased as I am also Canadian. The magnetic North pole is defecting to Russia though. It used to be in Canada but it drifts around.
England vs Scotland (vs EU maybe?) could be an interesting comparison with all the talk about independence recently
Interesting.
I can dig it.
Mr. Beat: *in these United states*
Me: he did it!!! He said the thing!!!
I did?
Dude. I didn’t know that you had a history/geography channel. That’s sick.
Can we get another presidential elections in American history video on the 2020 election?
Stable video👍
Thanks :)
I remember being obsessed with magnets as a child, I remember going on a field trip in elementary school to an auditorium star show. The conversation lead to earths north and south poles and I corrected the speaker and said “isn’t the North Pole the south? Isn’t that why compass’s point north since they are attracted to the opposite field” he told me I was wrong and went 20 years before realizing I was right.
Just Curious. At 0:54 you said that the "relative to the Sun, the tilt direction changes". What does it mean? On the video, the tilt direction doesn't seem to change. Do you mean that at some point, it is tilted away from the Sun, and in different times it is tilted towards the Sun? I hope I misunderstood, otherwise, imagine what kind of Earth's motion that would create. I am sure we would have noticed that one. I know Earth is not a boat, but wow, all that speed and tilting, and motion, and we just walking around shielded away form all of those great changes taking place. Fascinating. It's like riding on a roller coaster, but also being completely oblivious to the fact that you are in motion. Just Fascinating.
Altough James Cook gets credited for discovering Antarctica (not the south pole) in 1820, Ottoman cartographer Piri Reis made a map more than 300 years before that displaying Antarctica. You can find pictures of it online, the original map is in a museum in Istanbul (Topkapı).
This raises questions to wether the south pole has really been reached in 1911 at the earliest.
Could you do a compare video with Colombia or any of its cities?
Are you working on a video about the 2020 election
When are you gonna make a Presidential Election of 2020 video
It comes out in February
I wasn’t expecting this one at all. Maybe next you can do Earth and Mars compared
Or Mars and Venus? :D
when is the 2020 election video coming out?
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that he uses the metric system and Celsius in the video for his non American viewers
Yes indeed. 👍
Yeah I surprisingly have quite a few non-American viewers. I love them all. :D
@@iammrbeat I’m still American but I still believe it would’ve been awesome if we kept up with the metric system.
Mr. Beat, will you ever do a video on the school that you teach atz
I already have. Just search Tonganoxie Mr. Beat and I'm sure it'll show up.
Nice Christmas video haha
Merry Christmas!
@@iammrbeat thanks! :)
A Shark thinks he is in the middle pole!
Sharks control the rest of the waters.
mrbeat how do you dig around the north pole to all the way to the south pole and vice versa?
You're busy on Christmas Day Mr Beat. And for a your coldest video yet. What about comparing being old to being young? (as in age, in humans) Yeah, I know, lots said already. But I'm sure you can put your own personal Mr Beat spin on it?
You could apply for a job at the South Pole. One colleague in my office has actually been a scientific winterover, living at Armundson Scott for 12 months including the winter.
If you ever do an Iowa compared, can you mention how caseys is the U.S.'s fourth largest convenience store and fifth largest pizza chain?
Do an episode about Greece please
