    One of the most geographically interesting places in the world, imo. There is so much untapped wilderness, that despite the harsh climate, are some of the most beautiful. Maybe I will move to Ushuaia one day.

    Last year I visited Patagonia, specifically Ushuaia and its outskirts in Tierra del Fuego. I have been to the fjords of Norway and the rainforests of Brazil, and I just have to say that I had never seen such beautiful and magnificent landscapes like the ones from Patagonia. True nature, untouched by humankind, where you can feel the power of wilderness. This is truly a magical and holy land we must protect at all costs. Viva la Patagonia y viva América del Sur!!!

    Hi from someone born in a little town in the Patagonian desert! One little correction: at the beginning of the video you state that Patagonia is limited to the north by the Pampas. While that is correct, there is another region bordering northern Patagonia and that is the region of Cuyo, which is very much unknown as a region outside of Argentina but does have an internationally famous location: Mendoza and its wine region.
    Perhaps you could make a video about the Cuyo region in the future to help make it more well known internationally. Some of its characteristics are:
    -It's a warm desertic region.
    -There the Andes reach their highest altitudes. Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak outside of the Himalayas, is located there.
    -Though there are some large rivers, the region also presents many temporary, endorheic rivers and river basins.
    -There is a disctinct type of wind called the Zonda, which is a fast, dry, dusty and hot wind that can rush down from the Andes on certain days and quickly rise the temperature. The Zonda can be dangerous for vulnerable people like old people or people with respiratory afflictions.

    Even though its a good video overall,. there are some things that I would like to clarify. First of all, most of the tourism industry income in Chile does not come from the lake district, but from the southern portion of Patagonia, which gets the biggest amount of international visitors, in contrast to Argentina which sees a big amount of international visitors in the provinces of Rio Negro and Neuquen, which are in the northern part of Patagonia. Also on the chilean side, most of what is named here as "the lake district" is not really considered patagonia, but instead it is from the Vicente Perez Rosales NP that patagonia begins to the south. In argentina there are provinces much closer to the equator that are considered part of patagonia, but in Chile are barely considered part of the central zone because the climate is none of the described in the video, but more of a mediterranean climate. Finally, pudu's actually live in the northern part of patagonian forests, and only inhabit the northern tip of the fjords area.

      las regiones de los rios y los lagos no tienen nada de mediterraneo, por razones de administracion politica y nombres no se les suele llamar patagonia, pero geologica y biologicamente forman parte de esta. algunos incluso dicen que la patagonia chilena empieza en la región de la araucanía. ademas la zona central termina en la región del bio-bio. en chile no se suele hablar de patagonia chilena debido a que administrativamente se hace la diferenciacón de zona sur y zona austral.

      @@aroldo4367 Yo no dije que esas regiones lo fueran. Pasa que los argentinos consideran patagonia las provincias de Neuquen y La Pampa, que bordean con Biobio (o Ñuble para este punto) Y esa zona si que tiene bosques mediterraneos en la parte central. En teoria es una zona de transicion, puesto que aun hay zonas con estacion seca. A lo que voy es que el desde donde comienza la patagonia para los argentinos es mucho más al norte que nosotros.

I understand that our sad present can´t be easily understood to the rest of the world, but I'll try to explain it in few words: the lowest moral, patriotism and capability quality of the people that governed the country throughout the history. Something that happened since it was part of the viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, continued after the independence in 1816, and was getting worse the last hundred years. With this kind of corrupted people ruling the nation, Argentina will never stop being a big country, to become a great country. Thanks. Adrian K. Bs. As.

    No es cierto que la expedición de Magallanes tuviera como objetivo circunnavegar el globo. El objetivo era llegar a las Molucas, las islas de las especias y volver por el mismo camino. Al final una pequeña parte sí circunnavegó el globo, ya sin Magallanes y por decisión de Juan Sebastián Elcano

    Thank you for the critically important real world testing & comparison! The problem with artificial testing methods that are adopted industry wide is that there is a tendency for manufacturers to "build to the test" rather than build "to the use".
    Most of the "modern" higher R value pads rely on reflective layers for insulation, generally laid in a horizontal direction allowing much higher rates of heat loss out of the edges of the pad. I like my ExTherm, but that design is perhaps one of the worst for heat loss around the edges.
    As I understand it, in laboratory testing, a static load (dummy) is placed on the static pad, in a static (no wind) chamber. I believe that what is NOT modeled is natural human movement on top of the pad which will cause the air inside the pad to mix or "flow" towards the perimeter where heat loss will be much greater.
    Similarly, any breeze (even inside a tent) will result in cold moving air to interact with the edges of the pad.
    For those reasons, (and for safety) I alway carry some type of closed cell foam pad to place either below or on top of the air mattress if needed (on top being warmer).
    In addition, if it is cold, I will mound clothing and gear around the outside edges of the pad, I'm not sure how much the mounding of clothing / gear helps but even something like a shortie 1/8 inch or 1/4 inch (not sure how many mm, LOL) evazote pad on top of the air mattress will make a material difference in warmth.
    I carry one of those 1/8" or 1/4" pads as a sit pad and use it with the sleeping pad as needed. On colder trips I bring a more robust closed cell foam pad to double with the air mattress.

    In one breath you state that the Patagonian ice sheets have been shrinking for the past 21,000 years without human influence, then state that the ice sheets continue to decrease in the last 100 years, due to human influence...do you not see a dissonance of this statement? It appears well over 80% of the glaciers there decreased due to the natural warming of the earth due to the planet coming into a warmer inter glacial period, not direct human causes...

    • @sebastianr4340
      @sebastianr4340 Місяць тому

      21 000 years of ice sheet decrease is a fuckton of time, compared to 100 years of human industrial activity during which ice sheets started to melt much faster. People do not understand that the climate change was never a problem. The problem is how fast the climate is changing now. Do you really thought that we can pump tons of co2 to the atmosphere forever and nothing will happen? You people are so dumb, I swear
