Antarctica is vastly rich in literally EVERY resource you can imagine. Yet no one touchs it because it's almost like we actually do care about somethings on earth.
Interesting video, I met a British army surveyor back in the late 80s in Nepal, we got to talking about the Falklands war and he said it had more to do with Argentina occupying the Falklands as an economic strategy as its the UKs only nearby staging area for any exploitation of Antarctic resources.
Thatcher sure as well was planning ahead then. Of course the decision was really made by the Argentinians, they gave Britain a choice to react or not and I’m not sure oil revenues half a century away where really at the top of everyone’s minds at that moment.

Hoping renewables make drilling seem a lot less desirable. The price of renewables continues to drop. 2048 looks like a late enough date to stop all this oil stuff.
Forget it - lithium is only available in tiny quantities and will likely have run out by 2048 - no lithium = no electric cars etc - then what? Oh yeah, oil
@@thenotanclan oil is also finite resource like lithium - in larger quantities yes, but its gona run out - and Antarctica aint exactly accessible when it comes to the simple economics of extracting it. There are also lots of other technologies out there that don't depend on oil to power transport and support electricity production and simple economies of scale and energy security will push more countries towards renewables - why squabble over oil when you dont need it. At this point oil is antiquated tech when it comes to power generation or vehicle propulsion - ev, hydrogen and synthetic fuels are already out there - Yes Oil will continue to be needed as its used for many other things, but it wont be needed in the quantities the Russians claim to have found any time soon. Theres a reason the saudis are scrambling to build an economy less dependent on oil and thats not because they think its the future!
There were no nuclear weapons tests or donations conducted in Antarctica in 1958 or at any other time. The Antarctic Treaty, which came into effect in 1961, prohibits any nuclear explosions and the disposal of radioactive waste material in Antarctica. The nuclear tests you are likely referring to are those of Operation Argus, which took place in the South Atlantic Ocean, not Antarctica. From August 27 to September 6, 1958, the United States conducted three high-altitude nuclear tests as part of Operation Argus, using low-yield nuclear warheads launched from the USS Norton Sound124. Operation Argus, a series of high-altitude nuclear tests conducted by the United States, took place in the South Atlantic Ocean, far from Antarctica. Here are the specific locations and distances from Antarctica: The first test (Argus I) was conducted approximately 180 km SSE of Tristan da Cunha, which is at 38.5° South, 11.5° West. This location is about 3,500 to 4,000 km north of the Antarctic coast13. The second and third tests (Argus II and III) were conducted between Gough Island and Bouvet Island, with coordinates around 49.5° South, 8.2° West and 48.5° South, 9.7° West, respectively. These locations are also roughly 3,000 to 3,500 km north of the Antarctic coast13. Therefore, the Operation Argus tests were conducted at a distance of approximately 3,000 to 4,000 kilometers north of Antarctica.

If it was up to me I’d make this continent a new international nation so basically all the resources down there all go towards further development of the nation but in the most efficient nation on earth. What would be smart for the next 100 years is we’re basically living in large glass domes and under the surface somehow. It would be nice if we could develop matter transport like Star Trek lol and beam large amounts of the snow and ice especially since it’s fresh water. To places on earth that need new sources of fresh water. Making new large lakes where ones used to be or to places all over the African continent and Australian continent making these areas much more habitable.
Either that or China will admit that the earth is flat and show Antarctica as the high ice walled continental shelf container of the oceans-the edge-and they’ll say “see….china has borders/shores that have direct line of sight, straight shot to the ice wall. This is why China have claim to Antarctica.” Look at a “Gleason Map”

Seeing as you mentioned that the antarctic doesn't have any hardware shops incase parts are needed I imagine there must be some fabrication tech used down there, like metal 3D printers to produce things such as brackets and tools. With the exception of the ISS Antarctica is the one place where the ability to manufacture what you need on location would be incredibly useful.
I would love to see a design piece on the roofing system of the new building. Particularly, how the snowfall is directed off the building and towards the “dock” areas where they would seem to fall victim to the same slides and accumulations that are shown at 13:24 - 13:27. The seasonal snowfall is measured in Meters☺️
Hi there, I was lucky enough to work on the Discovery Building! If you look at 6:28, you'll see what look like vents on the upper corner of the roof- this structure is a 'wind deflector', which we designed to funnel the prevailing wind down the face of the Leeward side of the building, reducing snow buildup which will usually build up on this side (away from the wind).
@@bill9540 worth noting that the animation has the wind direction backwards. the wind comes from the lower side, up the roof then is fired down by the wind deflector. if they ever get round to fitting it...
Also very popular for building giant IT mainframes as cooling them to below (approximately 27 degrees c.) in warmer climates is always prohibitively expensive.
Communities, pollution, chemical altercations, emissions that weren’t there before, in one of the major poles of the planet that kept it the way it has always been. What can possibly go wrong? Whoever said speedrunning our extinction literally couldn’t have said it better. Our greed to occupy everything is going to be the end of us.
we need to preserve Antarctica and protect her no mining or oil drilling. The animals need to be protected. God save the penguins and seals. Humans need to respect that place and keep it wild free and pristine.
In one part of the video you say the water surrounding Antarctica is called the Southern Ocean and it circulates around the continent. But in the part with the pie chart showing which countries claim which parts of the continent, it says South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian oceans.
Hopefully in 2048 they see the importance of protecting this majestic continent. Though I feel in the future, Antarctica will become a foundation for war, especially as we grow as a species and resources become more scarce.
We will not grow as a species. Growth is pragmatic to the human existence via that of survivalism. We will never as a species leave well enough alone so long as there is the infection of suicide within our makeup genes.
Antactica is best place for industry and mining, better than my backyard in Pennyslvania. Sorry but million of people come before thousand penguins. Till we move beyond mining and factories they have to be somewhere unlesss you're an idiot and just thinks products appear out of thin air.

The Antartica treaty was to end WWII with the German Reich which established the emergency continuity of Government there. The treaty process began in the 60’s but wasn’t officially signed until 1972. The Germans established New Swabia by carving out a fortress in the mountain ridge, capable of supporting a maximum of 300,000 but only holding 150,000 at any given time. New Swabia refers to the Antartica base. New Wewelsburg refers to the Lunar base. New Berlin refers to the Agartha base.
@@NarasimhaDiyasenaare you high? There was never any evidence of any sort of nazi base in antarctica. Aside from a weather and research station. Which Germany needed to set up the station there because the allies were destroying every other station they built.
No weapons and no mining makes Antarctica safe from the usual stupidity from governments, only scientists sharing knowledge and discoveries with sustainability ✌️❤️🇬🇧
@@chriskeentechnician They don't have anything left to explode. What little they had to start with started melting when The Final Experiment was reviled.
If anything, this is just a controlled opposition tactic to further create division amongst the masses and to create backlash against any further things happening in Antartica. It actually furthers/strengthens the argument for Flat Earth as it reinforces the current NO GO ZONE mass signed treaty because the masses will kick up a stink (which according to the comments about this vid are already doing). This is a furthereing of the program for the masses to stay away from Antarctica and the Flat Earth community will point this out and use it to their advantage....And so they should because their take on "Antartica" makes far more logical sense then the mass held "narrative belief".
The wild thing to remember is that oil is created by decayed plant life. If there’s that much oil down there then Antarctica was once in a more normal weather region…
Hi would it be possible to put the conversions of numbers on the video? For example in the opening you say -89C and 200mph, it would be really helpful to have the conversion for temp in Farenheit, and wind speed in Knots and kmh. Later in the video you talk in metres per second which I have no basis for. Absolutely LOVE your videos, and I really appreciate this one, hopefully the treaty is extended and drilling/mining is continued to be prevented! Oh and is part of Antartica just not claimed at all?

Seeing as you mentioned that the antarctic doesn't have any hardware shops incase parts are needed I imagine there must be some fabrication tech used down there, like metal 3D printers to produce things such as brackets and tools. With the exception of the ISS Antarctica is the one place where the ability to manufacture what you need on location would be incredibly useful.
constructing in antarctica, this and many other reasons why digital twins is cool man.
I would love to see a design piece on the roofing system of the new building. Particularly, how the snowfall is directed off the building and towards the “dock” areas where they would seem to fall victim to the same slides and accumulations that are shown at 13:24 - 13:27. The seasonal snowfall is measured in Meters☺️
Hi there, I was lucky enough to work on the Discovery Building! If you look at 6:28, you'll see what look like vents on the upper corner of the roof- this structure is a 'wind deflector', which we designed to funnel the prevailing wind down the face of the Leeward side of the building, reducing snow buildup which will usually build up on this side (away from the wind).
@@marklewis2428 Many thanks for that, I was in roofing & sheet metal for 30 years and the system design work was often fascinating.
@@bill9540 worth noting that the animation has the wind direction backwards. the wind comes from the lower side, up the roof then is fired down by the wind deflector. if they ever get round to fitting it...
Heated roofs,
One of the coolest experiences of my life was working at mcmurdo!
Literally
Also very popular for building giant IT mainframes as cooling them to below (approximately 27 degrees c.) in warmer climates is always prohibitively expensive.
Communities, pollution, chemical altercations, emissions that weren’t there before, in one of the major poles of the planet that kept it the way it has always been. What can possibly go wrong? Whoever said speedrunning our extinction literally couldn’t have said it better. Our greed to occupy everything is going to be the end of us.
we need to preserve Antarctica and protect her no mining or oil drilling. The animals need to be protected. God save the penguins and seals. Humans need to respect that place and keep it wild free and pristine.
In one part of the video you say the water surrounding Antarctica is called the Southern Ocean and it circulates around the continent. But in the part with the pie chart showing which countries claim which parts of the continent, it says South Atlantic, South Pacific and Indian oceans.

That was quite interesting
Hopefully in 2048 they see the importance of protecting this majestic continent. Though I feel in the future, Antarctica will become a foundation for war, especially as we grow as a species and resources become more scarce.
We will not grow as a species. Growth is pragmatic to the human existence via that of survivalism. We will never as a species leave well enough alone so long as there is the infection of suicide within our makeup genes.
Antactica is best place for industry and mining, better than my backyard in Pennyslvania. Sorry but million of people come before thousand penguins. Till we move beyond mining and factories they have to be somewhere unlesss you're an idiot and just thinks products appear out of thin air.
@@alexwilliamrussellwell considering what industrialization could do to the frozen ice caps on antarctica no it isn't worth it. Floods would happen around the globe destroying entire cities and potentially killing tens of millions of people and displacing hundreds of millions.

Doesn't pay enough to go build down there.
They have been offering $6-8k a month for experienced electricians with 20 years experience.
Double it and I'll head down there.
I did not realize there was that much infrastructure down there!
When you mentioned oil early on, I already knew which county was gonna come in the spot light
There are lunatics in this world that will tell you people aren't allowed into Antarctica. They also happen to believe the world is flat.
Measuring snow by the story is wild 😅

Really feels like nobody should be building anything here. Leave it TF alone.
That's how I feel.

The rush to Antarctica will take the heat off of the Northwest Passage. Besides that, penguins won't savage you like polar bears will.

So much for that Antarctic Treaty. We should be leaving Antarctica alone.
We should exploit it for all it's worth.
The Antartica treaty was to end WWII with the German Reich which established the emergency continuity of Government there. The treaty process began in the 60’s but wasn’t officially signed until 1972.
The Germans established New Swabia by carving out a fortress in the mountain ridge, capable of supporting a maximum of 300,000 but only holding 150,000 at any given time.
New Swabia refers to the Antartica base.
New Wewelsburg refers to the Lunar base.
New Berlin refers to the Agartha base.
@@NarasimhaDiyasenaare you high? There was never any evidence of any sort of nazi base in antarctica. Aside from a weather and research station. Which Germany needed to set up the station there because the allies were destroying every other station they built.

Don't tell Putin there are people in Antartica who speak Russian that need to be "protected".
Be skeptical of these statements about oil in Antarctica! Maybe but until you drill, the projections are just that.

If anything, this is just a controlled opposition tactic to further create division amongst the masses and to create backlash against any further things happening in Antartica.
It actually furthers/strengthens the argument for Flat Earth as it reinforces the current NO GO ZONE mass signed treaty because the masses will kick up a stink (which according to the comments about this vid are already doing).
This is a furthereing of the program for the masses to stay away from Antarctica and the Flat Earth community will point this out and use it to their advantage....And so they should because their take on "Antartica" makes far more logical sense then the mass held "narrative belief".
The wild thing to remember is that oil is created by decayed plant life. If there’s that much oil down there then Antarctica was once in a more normal weather region…
Hi would it be possible to put the conversions of numbers on the video?
For example in the opening you say -89C and 200mph, it would be really helpful to have the conversion for temp in Farenheit, and wind speed in Knots and kmh. Later in the video you talk in metres per second which I have no basis for.
Absolutely LOVE your videos, and I really appreciate this one, hopefully the treaty is extended and drilling/mining is continued to be prevented!
Oh and is part of Antartica just not claimed at all?
