Because sakha is quite far away from any large water body. This allows the change in temprature to be much more drastic. Whereas the temprature in nunavut remains sort of constant throughout the year.

Your Canada work was a bit sloppy. Quebec is a province, not a state (Canada doesn’t have states), and Nunavut is a territory, not a province. The territory v province distinction is similar to Australian states versus territories but you managed to know that one. Nunavut even has its own particulars compared to Yukon and NWT in that it is entirely administered by First Nations.
@@greatpyramid4348 he also repeatedly called Nunavut a province, which it distinctly isn’t. He acknowledged the state/territory distinction in Australia, made special note of it in fact, but not province/territory in Canada. As I said, just a bit sloppy.
Nunavut is not a Province. It is a Territory. In that respect Nunavut has a similar relationship to the Federal Governemnt as Northern Australia has to its. You also referred to Quebec as a "state". It is a Province. Greenland is not a subdivsion. It is a Dependency. Alaska, Quebec, Nunavat, Amazonas etc. are all consitutent parts of a sovereign state. Greenland is mostly independent of Denmark but its foreign relations are hnadled by Copenhage,
Some of these figures are slightly misleading - for instance, the figures here are for total (i.e. land + water), not land area. Since no one lives on open water, the population density for Alaska (over 20 % of which is water in its total area) is slightly higher, when water area is subtracted.

Jervis Bay is effectively just the maritime portion of the ACT. There's no real point seeing it as a different territory as it is run by the Federal Government but mostly relies on NSW to function as a town.
You can 'see' it any way you like. The ACT makes no use of it as a maritime facility. The fact remains that JBT is legally a separately constituted Commonwealth territory.
Also there is only 2 roads that go into it, and one of them is a winter ice road. To get in you used to have to go on a dirt road which turned into mud in summer and you could be stuck for days, but it is mostly complete now when construction started in 2010. Also i should mention that there is more roads into Sakha than 2, but only 2 lead to the rest of Russia, but from Sakha you can drive on ice roads to Anadyr or the North Coast.
@@pixeldubsofficialthey also built a railroad. However the capital and largest city Yakutsk (361,154 people) live on the other side of the Lena river and there is no bridge to cross it since the flood plain is over 6 mi (10 km) wide and it’s difficult to build such a massive structure on permafrost and there are massive ice flows every spring that could destroy the bridge too. However in winter you can drive across the river, as well as drive up and down it like a road.

@@floycewhite6991the beaches here are like nothing you would ever see in the US as far as they are no where near as busy and a lot more tropical rather than temperate so it’s still worth the visit. Other than that bloody flight. Bit rough.
The sheer number of mistakes for an educational video is baffling.
There are three territories on the Australian mainland: Australian Capital Territory, Jervis Bay Territory and Northern Territory.
Jervis Bay is effectively just the maritime portion of the ACT. There's no real point seeing it as a different territory as it is run by the Federal Government but mostly relies on NSW to function as a town.
You can 'see' it any way you like. The ACT makes no use of it as a maritime facility. The fact remains that JBT is legally a separately constituted Commonwealth territory.
DUDE SAKHA IS AS BIG AS INDIA 💀💀💀💀💀
Also there is only 2 roads that go into it, and one of them is a winter ice road.
To get in you used to have to go on a dirt road which turned into mud in summer and you could be stuck for days, but it is mostly complete now when construction started in 2010.
Also i should mention that there is more roads into Sakha than 2, but only 2 lead to the rest of Russia, but from Sakha you can drive on ice roads to Anadyr or the North Coast.
@@pixeldubsofficialthey also built a railroad. However the capital and largest city Yakutsk (361,154 people) live on the other side of the Lena river and there is no bridge to cross it since the flood plain is over 6 mi (10 km) wide and it’s difficult to build such a massive structure on permafrost and there are massive ice flows every spring that could destroy the bridge too. However in winter you can drive across the river, as well as drive up and down it like a road.
actually a bit smaller, but their popluation is like andheri lol@@greasher926
I live in Yakutsk ololo 🤟
The Australian Antarctic Territory is 5,896,500 km2 (2,276,700 sq mi), technically making it the largest territorial claim in the entire planet, although perhaps not the largest country subdivision.
The population estimate is less than 1000 people 🤯
@@greatpyramid4348 but russia actually have control, population etc there, whereas Antarctica is just ice desert with international scientific stations
All of those claims in Antarctica pre date the Antarctic Treaty and when the Treaty expires in 2050? It will revert back to that state unless a new Treaty is signed.
pre-watching imma say if this says "i thought texas was the biggest in the world" im fucking crying
edit: thank. god.
I don't think anyone outside of the US would ever think Texas is big. My province in Canada, Ontario, is nearly 40% bigger. Texas is 695,000 (roughly) KM^2. Ontario is 1,076,000 (also roughly) KM^2. Keep in mind, most Canadian provinces are bigger than, if not comparable in size to Texas 😂💁🏼♂️
Who taught you it's "kilometres squared"? It's "square kilometres"!
Yes, he always gets it wrong. It's very annoying.
AI reads km² as it is: kilometer squared
@@linus98765 isn't this a real voice not ai?
@@greatpyramid4348 when did I say there was a difference? Do you know how english works?
An ad hominem response that ignores the facts. Clearly I've won the argument.
6:37 Territory*
Most populated subdivisions in the world.
Btw i don’t count England and the other countries in UK as Subdivisions. Use the county’s instead. Netherlands is also devided in 12 provinces. And Belgium too,
I was born in qld mate
Yakutsk is also the world's coldest city.
As somone from amazpnas nice to see my state in this list
3:06 also that is outdated as f the population is around 5m now
nunavut is a federal territory within canada, like the Australian territories, not a province like Quebec.
You can say that one person can own 1 km2 in western Australia 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Just a little details: Nunavut is a territory, not a province. Thanks for the great video!
Any Canadians care to enlighten me on what's the difference?
@@grandmasteryoda6717The Constitution gives provinces certain powers that territories don't have. The provinces largely determine (to give two examples among many) how natural resources will be harvested or how health care will be administered; in territories those rights still belong to the federal government, and there's no guarantee that the feds will handle things in a way that benefits locals.
@@grandmasteryoda6717 the legislative authority of provincial governments is given by the constitution, and the legislative authority of territorial governments is given by the federal government. Each province also has a provincial crown and Lt. Governor as representative of the king, while the territories are under the federal crown, and have a territorial commissioner who represents the federal government.
And another detail, he called Québec a state.
Another detail - other commenters say the same thing
For perspective, Ireland is approximately 82,000 km²
Edit: what is Siberia then and how big is it?
Siberia is a geographically region within russia, it have the most gas and oil resources/reserve in the entire world, produced the most diamonds, rich in minerals, beautiful landscapes, at least 2 million square km of Farmland, it got the world's BIGGEST continuous forest (boreal) and it covers 10-13 million square km.
Siberia is about 13 million sq km. Bigger the Canada, usa, Australia, china, Brazil, aka world biggest countries
What about the country pairs with the most or least exclaves/enclaves?
Great video
It would be amazing anothre with smaller subdivission such as municipalities-towns only counting size
With great shame, I haven't heard of many of these names. Yeah, i need to watch more GB!
Vocês é que nunca viram o tamanho do alentejo
@@greatpyramid4348 dayum there is a lot to unpack here. 1. You are an egyptian pyramid. 2. You understood my message in portuguese meant for my countrymen and countrywomen 3. Idk if your response was sarcastic or not but my comment was clearly a joke. In Portugal Alentejo is regarded as a big and vast open place. Plus it's not even an administrative division outside the NUTS II EU divisions. Our administrative divisions are the 18 districts plus 2 autonomous regions so idk how you could even think I was serious. Tenha uma boa noite.
Bro just say square kilometres
Fun fact, an alternate name for Greenland is Nunarput, which Nunavut in grenlandic instead of inuktitut.
What makes a fact a “fun fact” ?
Alaska is both the westernmost and easternmost US state.
Amazonas has around 4 million people
Sakha Republic is awesome
Nunavut only came to be in 1999. Before then, it was part of the Northwest Territories next door.
Sorry, but your population of Amazonas is wrong. It's almost 4 million.
