Hey, I never leave comments after watching a video on youtube, but I can't help but say that I love your videos, especially those about islands in remote places on Earth, thank you for making these!
There is this thing called DXing ham radio operators try to get signals from distant places also every region/country have unique prefix in their radio callsign and people can get awards like contact 100 diffrent countries so some clubs organize DXpeditions to help the radio operators from all around the globe to obtain awards. Basically its just a hobby
One of the more famous DXpeditions of recent times was to Bouvet Island (and there is a video on this channel about Bouvet!) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Y0J_Bouvet_Island_DXpedition
I love this channel because looking at random places in google maps and researching their history and geography is one of my favorite things to do the and this channel is basically that.
Just wanna say in general your videos are awesome! I’m always playing on Google Earth and it’s wonderful to see someone capitalizing on all of the cool sights you can see, and also educating others on what information you can find. Keep it up, you deserve WAY more views lol
I've had a recent obsession with finding isolated islands, occupied or not, and then learning all that I can about them. Especially these Arctic and sub Arctic islands in Russia, Canada, Alaska, etc. Love the idea of being able to sail to one, and then getting to walk around where almost nobody has ever walked before
Having seen both of your videos about Arctic islands, I'm left wanting a novel, a videogame or a movie set on places like these. The most remote frozen islands on the planet, ships drifting for years, constant battle against polar bears. Skyrim does this a little bit when you roam the northern coast, but it isn't a very deep experience. The Left Hand of Darkness also deals with frozen wastelands, but in that case it was more of an Arctic sheet rather than Arctic islands. Good videos.
KM4TBZ here; Amateur radio operators have a long history of setting up expeditions to far off remote places to “DX” to other operators around the world. If they make contact, tradition is to send postcards to the operators they met. Even the ISS has sent out postcards when participating in DX events. I’m not sure that’s what this was, but probably. Hope this helps!
I don't know if you do border stuff but I just want to mention this so you could potentially make a video on this in the future. It's about two very unknown exclaves that Russia owns. So unknown there are no videos about them on youtube and only very little information. First one surrounded by Estonian territory and a lake (58.005440, 27.647276) Second one is fully surrounded by Belarus (52.479402, 31.557619) It was so bizarre learning about them cause even in Russia only few people know about those exclaves.
Oh wow that is really interesting. The first one appears to have some sort of fence around it too. And the second one seems so random. I need to look into these more, but that could be a super cool video. I’ll shout you out if I end up making a video about it
Hey! I found this really weird place in Canada, I don’t know if it is one lake or more because it can’t be seen very well but it is definitely very strange. Coords: 68°19'09"N 114°42'26"W
I dont like how when looking at these islands, like on google earth, its just a satellite picture of the island and then the surroundings its just blurry. I know its just ocean but i makes me wonder if there are islands hidden from the public that do not apear on google earth. Its also kinda eeire imo.
So there is an iceberg drifting with some polar station on it .. that would be a funny wtf sight .. Anyway the first expedition that you described drifted for two years ? How did they survive for that long what did they eat and drink ?
Hahah I thought about that too, would be funny to see it floating out there. And from my understanding, it seems like they bring lots of food with them initially. But they often didn't have enough of all the types of food they need, and had Vitamin C deficiency. They also had to reuse lots of equipment, like making sunglasses out of glass bottles.
Hey Geomargin, it’s me again, the guy who told you about nuclear facilities on Russian arctic islands under the video In that reply under my comment I also included Some 3rd order islands, but you didn’t recognized them bc the lakes around them looked very like closed bays and alright, I agree with this. But now, I found the real one, surrounded by real lake, bigger than that one famous island (69,79252° N, 108,24023° W) - 66,45574° N, 69,87700° W. I used Apple maps scale thing at the top and it showed that famous island is ~270m in length, but this new one is ~365m in length, which obviously again makes it the biggest 3rd order island ever discovered yet. I also tried watching for 5th order islands like that one you showed on your channel (62,65138° N, 97,78756° W), but I couldn’t even find the 4th order lake bruh, so ig it’s maybe the only one in the world And the last pretty interesting thing I’ve discovered is some blurry details that I’m mostly not 100% sure about of progressing sentineliese people on North Sentinel Island ofc: 9,36915° N, 92,55036° E - it looks like to be a boat 11,58019° N, 92,27072° E - looks like some sort of the path?? Idk, maybe it’s just the small creek valley or something 11,58274° N, 92,27103° E - a drawning of something??? Idk, it’s just looks unusual 11,59035° N, 92,25514° E - ok this thing does actually look like a path 11,59277° N, 92,22492° E - a slight circular drawing or just random nature formation idk 11,59174° N, 92,22143° E - an actual path 11,59321° N, 92,21236° E - the biggest thing I’ve found - a freaking shipwreck??? Out of all the people which were documented of visiting the island, iirc, no one used the whole ship to get on the coast bc it’d scare sentinelese ofc. I looks old and made out of wood, so my main theory that a sailor or the whole crew shipwrecked to an island in like 17th-19th century and probably were killed or least likely - convinced people not to murder them and joined sentinelese just to don’t die 11,58452° N, 92,20749° E - another path 11,54517° N, 92,20960° E - path again 11,52960° N, 92,22422° E - and again… they probably walked around the coast of the whole island and there’s nothing interesting here, so no more paths 11,52364° N, 92,25490° E , 11,52231° N, 92,25572° E , 11,53955° N, 92,27451° E - these can be treehouses maybe?? 11,51874° N, 92,27218° E - and the last thing are these strange looking half or full circles, maybe a religious thing, idk That’s it. One last question for you tho: are you going the make the video about the nuclear facilities on arctic islands in Russia? If yes, may I know when it will approximately release? Thank you :)
Hey FemixGD, I remember you! I’ll look at these coordinates tomorrow or the next day when I get back to my computer. And I’m not sure yet if I’ll make that video about that topic specifically, but I do have another video coming out next week on a remote structure in the Russian arctic.
@@Geomargin That’s great to know! Thanks :) Btw I just found another large 3rd order island nearby (66,68718° N, 70,47956° W), tho it’s ~10m less in length (I measured them on Google Earth and this one like 365m in length, but the one I found before is 376m in length) than that one I reported in this comment so idk, just an interesting thing ig
Funny thing I thought It was named after Admiral Ushakov of the Russian Empire. Kinda interesting how the polar pioneer who discovered this island had the same lastname as the admiral.
Why is it that on your channel it is not yet possible to hear the vocal translation in other languages (so not the uncomfortable subtitles that have been there for years) of what you say? 😐
I’m not sure! The auto subtitles are not amazing, I’ll look into it. I think maybe you need to get it specially vocalized in another language? I’m not sure
@@Geomargin I hope so. Also you would have many users subscribed to your channel and from all over the world. Even among people who do not speak English
I really like your videos and I have been binging them recently, so now Im just hoping really really hard this is a real human making content and not an AI content farm
I am definitely a real human lol. I’ve seen those AI geography videos pop up everywhere on TikTok and UA-cam and they kind of annoy me. I research, script (although they aren’t really scripted), film, edit, and publish my own videos and I don’t use any AI for these videos. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to do an interesting video on the ground too
@Geomargin Well, with such an interesting and pretty well presented subject, I think eventually the channel itself should hopefully be able to fund endeavours like that!
Not all of it is that sheer, but much of it is. And honestly I don’t even know much about polar bears and how they even live up there, so that’s a great question
As a Russian, I always wondered what's going on up there on these arctic islands. Not much is known about them here. Thanks for your video! ❤
Same for me, I tryed to see if I can find anything interesting myself on google maps but it got kind of boring quickly
Thanks for watching :)
Why did Russia invade ukraine?
Mate you got lots of unexplored lands...do you still need more land😂😂
@@Daniel-jk7pe It's not like the people know either, lol
0:41 it was russian empire, the soviet union didn’t exist until 1922
Yeah and the revolution didn’t start until 1917 (I think)
Yes you’re right. I’m mad I didn’t catch that mistake until now
I LOVE this niche kind of geography about the most random islands/lakes/parts of the world, it’s so interesting. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you!!!
I can confirm that there was a polar station at the edge in 2016 and its now gone. The ice retreated 300m. Now its just a pure ice island.
Woah that's cool! Have you been up there?
@@Geomargin Sentinel2 imagery is good enough to see a polar station.
Hey, I never leave comments after watching a video on youtube, but I can't help but say that I love your videos, especially those about islands in remote places on Earth, thank you for making these!
Thanks so much for commenting! I hardly ever comment on videos on my other account so I feel you
exactly
this is the content i subcribed for.
Heck yes

I figured it was some sort of hobby, but some of the expeditions seemed pretty intense (like this one). That’s cool!
One of the more famous DXpeditions of recent times was to Bouvet Island (and there is a video on this channel about Bouvet!) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/3Y0J_Bouvet_Island_DXpedition
I remember reading about that one! So cool
you are by far my new favorite youtuber dude
Thank you!!!
I love this channel because looking at random places in google maps and researching their history and geography is one of my favorite things to do the and this channel is basically that.
That’s awesome!!!
Hii please consider making long form content!! I love this 😊
like the editing style, russian place names are hard to remember or even register so thanks for labeling them🔥
Thanks!!!

Good videos.
I would love a video game about this place. Even like a Call of Duty map there
I just want to say i love your content. I feel like nobody else does it.
Thanks!!!!
I agree, this is good stuff. ❤
Arctic islands are so interesting, glad to see someone talking about the more obscure ones
Yes! I love the more obscure ones

Ahhh, that makes more sense. I’ve seen those types of expeditions on UA-cam to Bouvet Island, they seem fun
love your video man + 1 sub!
Thank you!!!
That island is so remote, i always wonder what happens in there, what species are there, if there are any, and thank you for uploading videos
Seals, walruses, polar bears, maybe some birds? Not much else I think
after some point of remoteness almost every island is almost same bouvet island is the best example
Congrats on 5K already! Please don't forget me when ur famous :D
inputtedd of course I’m not forgetting about you! You’ve been so nice and supportive on all of my videos! And thanks, it came so quickly
Man, I love this channel so much! Thank you for your work!!
Thanks!!!

could you do a video on the lena river delta? this place has always been so odd to me as it is dotted with many lakes and spans over 100 miles. thanks
A few other people have also been interested in that, so maybe I will!
Yeaaah, let's go, another video about obscure northern regions!!! 🎉🎉🥳
I love this area!!!!
Keep it up bro love these
Heck yeah man! Thanks
Nice video ❤
Thanks!
0:41 In 1912, the Soviet Union did not exist, then there was the Russian Empire
Yes you are correct. Sorry for the mistake
crazy that we discovered it only a couple decades before satelites were a thing
Yeah, imagine if we didn’t even find it until then
Hey! I found this really weird place in Canada, I don’t know if it is one lake or more because it can’t be seen very well but it is definitely very strange. Coords: 68°19'09"N 114°42'26"W
I’ll look into this tomorrow or the next day when I have some time. Thanks for sending me this
Nothing like a good night out coming home still drunk and high and watching one of your vids
Hahaha that’s perfect
I dont like how when looking at these islands, like on google earth, its just a satellite picture of the island and then the surroundings its just blurry.

And the last pretty interesting thing I’ve discovered is some blurry details that I’m mostly not 100% sure about of progressing sentineliese people on North Sentinel Island ofc:
9,36915° N, 92,55036° E - it looks like to be a boat

11,59277° N, 92,22492° E - a slight circular drawing or just random nature formation idk
11,59174° N, 92,22143° E - an actual path
11,59321° N, 92,21236° E - the biggest thing I’ve found - a freaking shipwreck???

Omg hahah whoops
ur videos are like crack to my adhd brain, keep em comin
Hahaha amazing
This island looks so different from the others, so bizarre
Yeah it’s so weird
you should talk about ghost towns in siberia such as koty
Ok! I’ll look into it
you made a mistake in 1912 the soviet union wasnt established yet

So how did the polar bears climb 20 meters of shoreline?
Not all of it is that sheer, but much of it is. And honestly I don’t even know much about polar bears and how they even live up there, so that’s a great question
I wonder if they ate the polar bears as well?
I imagine some hunting was done at least back in the day, but not sure
👍👍👍
3:00 Oh so THAT'S where the ice wall the flat earthers are always talking about is...
Hahaha yep it’s been on Ushakov this whole time…
That joke can stay in 2010...
love ur vids especially about random islands like this
maybe you could do a video on some interesting moutains/mountain ranges
Yay!!! And yeah that’s a good idea, I gotta find a good one to make a video about
WOOOOOOOOOOOOO
WOOOOO
Спокойно русы, Гиперборею он еще не нашел.
Hahaha
I found a hidden town in china 28°36'24"N 89°52'46"E
Woah thats cool, I wonder what it is. There's a lot of weird stuff around there too
your videos are like crack to me.
