Argentina is an incredible country in so many ways. From the beating economic heart of Buenos Aires in the north, to the pure beauty of the Patagonian mountains and Tierra Del Fuego archipelago in the south. But despite the natural beauty of the south, the vast majority of Argentinians (about 41 million people) have opted to live in the northern half of the country, leaving a relatively scant 6 million people to inhabit the entire south.
So why don't more Argentinians live in the southern half of the country? And why does Argentina continue to claim the Falkland Islands as their own?

When I rented a car in southern Patagonia, about the only advice the owner gave me was to NOT LET GO OF THE DOOR when it was open, so that the wind would not tear it off. Good advice.
😂😂😂
South Argentina is just Argentina's Canada.
As a Canadian, I can confirm. N Argentina is like the USA and S Argentina is like the Canadian West... cooler, windier but still liveable... Just not as...
Argentina is Brazil's Canada.
Colder and way less populated.
Saludos desde Argentina.
@@maravreloaded excuse me im argentine and brasil is not cold like canada and alaska or ushuaia...south argentina is no way near to brasil mate not even close its not even hot ...south of argentina is like canada as they said and ushuaia reminds me of alaska..i was born in patagonia and the winds are cold

@@michaelsurratt1864 not that cold as northern Canada
@@stlmo974 Of course, but I think the wind is more intense in Patagonia, and some places doesn't have sufficient water
Southern Argentina has the strongest winds in the world outside of Antarctica, for those living in the Midwest or in the Rocky Mountains of the USA it's the same but on steroids
The difference is that we make our houses with solid materials.

Going down south, according to me: Sandy beaches, palm trees, and beautiful weather.
Going down south, according to Northern Argentines: *Patagonia*
Such a bizarre reality for a north hemisphere resident like myself, not to mention that they have winter in July and summer in December
Same sitch with Australia... The further South you go the colder and cloudier it gets. And in fact, Melbourne gets less sun per year than Edmonton, Alberta my hometown on native land at 53 degrees NORTH! Warmer? At certain times of the year sure, but sunnier? Nope!
@@stickynorth
Hamburg (Germany) is located, roughly the same latitude as Edmonton (Alberta).

theres no sandy beaches nor palm trees in the patagonia..its not africa nor middle east nor caribean lol
@@user-lk2ec4dn9o no entendiste, dice que para ellos el sur es cálido, pero para nosotros el sur es frío, simplemente geografia. Una curiosidad.
As an Argentinian, I don't consider Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area as part of the North and, in your map, it is just in the limit between North and South. If you ignore the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area, the rest of Argentina is mostly empty with pockets of population that rarely exceed a million people. So while the facts stated in this video are correct, they are clearly misleading.

What a fantastic and insightful look at Argentina. It’s such a fascinating country. Buenos Aires is such a thrill. I truly hope that it can recuperate economically.
Just to note, Mar del Plata is a coastal town in the southeastern part of Buenos Aires.
Te aporto dos datos: En Argentina somos 46.23 millones de habitantes. Y las Malvinas son Argentinas simplemente por qué son parte de nuestra plataforma continental. (Si les cabe alguna duda, vayan a chequear los últimos mapas de la plataforma submarina de Argentina (consensuados mundialmente) y no les quedarán dudas. Buen video, un saludo desde Buenos Aires 🇦🇷💪🏻

@@lioneldemun6033 Si yo voy un dia y te expulso de tu casa x la FUERZA ( eso hizo Gran bretaña en 1833) tu casa pasa a ser mia o vos tendrias derecho a reclamarla x mas tiempo q pase...???
Soy argentino, y la verdad que el argumento de la plataforma continental es el menos fuerte de todos los argumentos que tiene Argentina para reclamar las Malvinas.
El argumento más fuerte, y que se debería usar más, es que desde la independencia (1816) hubo población que se identificaba como argentina en las Islas, hasta que en 1833 el Reino Unido expulsó a la población Argentina e implantó población británica de forma violenta. Este es el verdadero motivo por el que las Malvinas son argentinas, y por el cual el referéndum del 2013 es inválido (ya que fue votado por población implantada de forma violenta)
@@persona_comun Yo también soy Argentino. Y me apoyo en los tratados internacionales basados en las aprobaciones de la ONU y sobre todo en el trabajo científico realizado a través de los últimos 20 años por la Comisión Nacional del Límite Exterior de la Plataforma Continental (COPLA) No son hipótesis, es evidencia científica.

I would love to go to Patagonia someday.
Southern Argentina (aka Patagonia) is basically antarctica. Cold snowy tundra down there and lots of penguins.
Just the tip at Tierra del Fuego.
@@maravreloaded true I guess it would gradually get colder as you go south in Patagonian Steppe.
What an ignorant remark..Antarctica is deserted ice fields and moving icebergs, Patagonia is habitable and has humans settlements permanently.
@@mrdarkside4071 would it be less “ignorant” to compare Patagonia to Alaska then?
@@WizardToby There´s different zones in Patagonia.Andes valleys and lakes are one of the beautiful landscapes in the world.Central steppe is arid and windy.The coast is beautifull,plenty of animals and very windy.The extreme south don´t have permafrost.
You incluced Mendoza in your map of Patagonia but that is wrong, Mendoza is parto of another geographic region called Cuyo. Also, you placed Mar del Plata inland when it is a coastal city.
Other than that, great video and greetings from Buenos Aires!
It's very simple. Most of the southern región is Patagonia, very windy most of the year, very hot in summer and very cold in winter. Not an easy climate to adapt yourself to. No centralization, long distances between cities and towns.
Thank you for mentioning the effects of Operation Condor. Strange how other history & geography channels turn a blind eye to one of Henry Kissinger's nastiest pet projects.
Bingo! This deserves more than its own video, probably a series on it...
Yea but calling it right wing is just plain ignorant
It was necessary to prevent Soviet expansion. Nowadays nobody gives a damn about leftist governments because the USSR is no more
@@M.L.Knotts So how would you describe Operation Condor? Do enlighten us.

Hi, an Argentine here and fan of this channel. Great video, I liked it, but I have some notes to amplify the information:
-Patagonia is very underpopulated not only because its weather (the main reason of course), but also because it was incorporated later to the country unlike the north. They took part of the country since the 1880 decade (this isn't the case of Malvinas Islands tho). However in the last couple of decades, the patagonian provinces have been the ones that have grown the most in porcentual terms. Tierra del Fuego has particularly grown in a 50% between 2010 and 2022 census. They are still the most underpopulated ones of course, but they are going in a good way.
-The contrast in population goes mainly between the full pampean region (Provinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba, Santa Fe and Entre Rios, and the City of Buenos Aires) with 30 million of people (almost 66% of the country's population) and the rest of the country with 16 million. La Rioja and Catamarca are also very underpopulated provincies (300k and 400k people respectively) like the Patagonia, but this two are located in the north west of the country.
-Mar del Plata is located in the coast, in the extreme south east of Buenos Aires Province.
-I think you exposed well in a respectful and correct way both official positions related with Malvinas Islands (generaly north americans and europeans are limited to show or explain only the British position) which is fine. I just would like to add in the world map, that all Latin American countries supports the Argentinian position in the claim.
Nonetheless I would like to recognize in the good sense the fact that you mentioned Operation Condor, an atrocious historical event that generally is omitted by people from North America or Europe. I have great respect for you for that.
Finally someone who says Argentines NOT Argentinians
@@Texan_christian1132 I use both, just like in this long comment.
@@juanpedronardin8596 only Argentine
The Falkland Islands will always remain British, per the will of the people living there. Argentina needs to wake up and get over it
@@Tony_417 that population was implanted by the british empire so I dont care what they think, if they want to be british they can go there.
Imagine if the pro-english people on the USA were given the choice to remain british during their independence... you would have cities or even entire states considered british land inside the United States, thats not how things work.
If some day the Malvinas are finally given back to Argentina, those people must accept it or get the f*ck out asap.
I live in this "southern" part (close to Mar del Plata) and it's absolutely livable. The weather is temperate cold and not bad at all. With better policies that promote productive activities, (like the expected offshore gas and oil) and decent healthcare is as good as any other part of the world.
Southern Argentina must be similar to what Alaska might be for USA.
and the Falklands would probably be the Hawaii for Argentina, but they are part of UK.
@@LevisH21 Not quite the same climate though
@@LevisH21 only parts of Patagonia might be comparable to Alaska. In Buenos Aires province is less cold than cities like New York or Chicago.
I bet the weather there is better than in the UK
@@voice.of.reason I doubt it...
Argentina has the most fertile region of South America, yet they somehow fumbled and are the 23rd largest economy in the world behind countries such as Belgium.
As noted, the colonial powers frequently intervene to extract wealth, interspersed with populist backlash that doesn't manage economies well for long-term growth.
Whenever nations are heavily subject to foreign interference and intervention like Canada, Argentina or Australia their economies will always suffer thanks to the geopolitical and economic might of Super powers who will do everything they can to control or kill the competition even form friendly nations... Bombardier C Series now Airbus A220 vs Boeing anyone? Thanks to Boeing, Bombardier basically collapsed as a jet-maker other than for the Global Express private aircraft it's still known for...

But in this case it’s something different. It’s because it’s too Chile down there.

Great video!
I hated geography in high school, idk what got me to click on the first video of yours but ever since I can’t stop, every time they pop up. Your videos are so interesting.
This is an amazing video. I learned a lot.
As an argentinian, nice video! Just two minor mistakes: 1) Mar del Plata is located on the coast of BsAs Province, no inland. 2) Neuquén population is approximately triple than the video claims (~720 k)
Geoff, something similar happens in the Midwest USA (Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, etc.), and of course in Canada.
Patagonian hinterland areas have several weather constraints in winter, reaching -10F. However, in 1983 there was a project to move the country's Capital to Viedma by the Rio Negro and the sea, as Brazil did in the 50's with Brasilia to set sovereignty in their Mata Atlantica hinterland.
Fun Fact…if you ever visit Argentina, a great conversation starter is to bring up how great Argentina was in the Falkland War.

Awesome video dude! So much information and great visuals. I wish we had dudes like you and videos back in the seventies when I was in junior high and high school. We only had books and the occasional black and white movies of boring and repeated scenes of crap like banana trading with other countries. The only fun was getting the teacher to play the movies in reverse. Cool teachers would. Since even they knew the movies were boring back then. My favorite one to run backwards was one of lizards that run on their back legs. We were simple back then. Again great video. I'm 63 and I still like learning keeps the brain going along with the weed.
If Buenos Aires is the largest city and is right on the border between the north and the south, I would think whether it counts as a northern or southern city also greatly contributes to why so many ore people are in the North, i.e. it is mostly a matter of definition.
the place where he place the division line is wrong. The region oficially considered as "the south" is like 1/3 of the country, Buenos Aires is the most populated province (its shaped as the letter "P") and the city of Buenos Aires (capital of both, the province and the country) is at the north of said province. He pointed the city of Buenos AIres as "the north" but the whole province is located in what we consider "the center" of the country.
The most populated part of the country (where the provinces of Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Santa Fe are located) is simply considered "the center". The part we consider as "the north" is also wrongly marked here, as it would be about 20% of the country or so (its... the part on top of the center, lol).
There are a lot of regions, but to be very simplistic just think of it as divided in 3 instead of 2 like he did in the video, the most populated part is not the north, but the middle one.
If you imagine it as a videogame map, the south would be snow, the middle would be green plains, and the north would be desert and mountains lol.
@user-xu3bg7zh9c Buenos Aires city is not the capital of Buenos Aires province, that's La Plata.
The city of Buenos Aires (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires) is an autonomous district since the constitutional reform in 1994 and it has been separated from the province of Buenos Aires since 1880. Like its own little province.
@@santidiedrich Sisi tenes razón, puse cualquier cosa. Buenos Aires es la capital del país y La Plata es la capital de la provinca jajaja
That northern part of Argentina has the same latitude as Florida and the southern part is colder than its counterpart in the northern hemisphere for example its the same latitude as the USA eastern or the Mediterranean coast , both considered as warm and very populated and livable.
Tens of thousands of people of Welsh and English descent in SA (South Argentina): "Are we a joke to you?..."
probably summed up as: poor farmland, poor climate, poor coastal areas.
I ve lived or travelled to Europe, Africa (Cameroon), Australia (Western Australia) and Argentina.
Argentina is the best place of all.
(effects of global warming are limited compared to Southern Europe where temperatures reach 49 Celsius degrees, also there is no water shortages, the Northern part of Argentina is very sunny which is a good thing for agriculture, the country has a lot of natural resources: gaz/oil/mines and one of the largest stream of the world to produce electricity).
People are very friendly (very little delinquency in Buenos Aires you can go at night and sit on the grass of a square nothing will happen to you there are even families, ... people also help you if you get lost which will never happen in any multi millions population western city, and the food is amazing -unlike Australia/UK )

3:15 even there was an initiative to recognize Italian, German and Welsh as co-official languages and French as a compulsory subject in schools, but only Welsh was recognized as co-official in the province of Chubut.
In the 90s,Italian ,German and French coexisted in different institutes (French in business institutes and elementary schools, Italian and German in technical institutes), but educational reforms proclaimed English as a foreign language subject.
So now Italian , Portuguese or French are subjects in tourism courses (but usually only Portuguese is obligatory) and Hochs is only taught in German schools.
Now I want to move there. Thanks, Geoff!
Please dont. Stay where you are
Thanks you for sharing the reasons why the Southern Argentina is less populated.
Talking about waves of migration in the late industrial age you omit the huge Cornish and Welsh dispora especially around Chebut Provincia who moved there after the metal mining in North Wales (Gogledd Cymru)🏴 and Cornwall (Kernow) this gives Argentina the distinction of having one of the largest Welsh/Cornish speaking communities outside of the Brythonnic world.
I also note you didn't include Las Islas Malvinas in your boundary of Argentina. That said the 1982 conflict of sovereignty was also part of the dirty war to distract the public from domestic issues. Both Galtierri and Thatcher pushed the flag waving agenda to distract from social unrest domestically and as usual the USA sat on the fence instead of trying to broker peaceful resolution.
The main reason the British far right government since 2010 maintains the claim on the Falkland Islands is the fishing and mineral rights. And that's what annoys China and Russia since Chinese vessels rarely get fishing licences and Russia is unhappy about potential gas and oil extraction by Western nations brokered through the UK Government. The other reason the Falkland Islands are kept is servicing Antarctic Territory and for Military Strategy purposes. With Mount Pleasant Airport [MPN] a ready made airbase for NATO-OTAN and other allied forces and plenty of deep water to 'hide' V-Class (and New Dreghtnought) ICBM capable submarines.
The irony is joint sovereignty deals between UK and Argentina were started to be brokered by Chile in the 1970's but nothing came of it and now Stanley is officially a UK city it's unlikely anything will come to the table especially whilst UK is in an economic mess and overstretching military needs to other conflicts.
I have it direct from Chileans I work with that Chile 🇨🇱 is pronounced ChillE by natives.

I've always seen the Patagonia as the Siberia of the southern hemisphere: Uninhabited and underdeveloped, but undeniably beautiful.
By the way, less people in some regions means less contamination and better environmental balance. Fires caused by human action are a serios problem for natural old forests sirvival.
Thanks for the great deep dive.
1. I knew it. Those darn mountains are part of the answer.
2. I recommend Geoff's excellent take on Chile, Argentina's western neighbor. Southern South America is called Patagonia, 10%/90%. It's like if one placed 10 shoelaces side to side. Chile would be the first one.
One would guess all ten shoelaces had similar climates. Please guess why not. Hint only for non-Geoff subscribers: mountains.
I always wondered why Prince weirdly titled a song as 'Mountains'. As always, Geoff answered my wonder.
3. Saudia Arabia is building a linear city in the desert. The planners should be talking to Argentina and especially Chile how they manage such lopsided countries. Chile is shaped like legs of Brooks Shields and Uma Thurman if they fasted for three months.
a) Noem is the linear city that is 1,000 times east to west than it is north to south.
b) It's going to be a 20 to 30 storied apartment building that will be a 1/2 city block continuing to go for 100 miles, climate change neutral.
c) Even Geoff would have difficulty convincing the most gullible that this is being built.
d) The planners admit that some technology is nowhere practical.
e) It's like paying one million upfront for a one-way ticket to Mars in 2028. Flying on Musk Spaceways.
Excellent Geoff, good work!

I had a question "where are the bigger cities in Southern Argentina?" Now I know thanks to your video! I liked your story!
Although Mar del Plata's location is wrong, it put it inland and is a coastal city
Center.
Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Rosario all in the middle
Puerto Madryn - Rio Gallegos - Rio Grande -
Great video. Only criticism I'd make is that you drew the north/south divide too far "up"; Mar del Plata and Mendoza are still in a populated and livable area, so the line could be somewhere south Bahia Blanca to Neuquén. Note apart, Rosario and Cordoba are never considered part of the North, but Central area; and you made too many simplifications in the geographical part.
It is too cold there
Very well researched video.
what happened to the video on the great lakes mega region?
I haven't watched the video yet but I'm gonna take a wild guess: few people live in southern Argentina cuz it's cold.
Edit: Just watched it, and yeah I was right, though there are a few other reasons. I think the other reasons stem from the climate though.

Vivir con amor organizadamente pueblos Nativos de Argentina.❤❤😮😮
Not only is the south of Argentina unpopulated, but the entire west of the country as well.
The population (+70%) is concentrated in the Pampas area, in the center-east of the country near the Atlantic.
This is because they are dry and arid regions and there was never immigration in those regions.
and finally, the part that says NORTH is not right. You are mixing regions.
I don't think you covered the acquisition of Patagonia which was claimed in its entirety by Chile until the War of the Pacific c.1879, when the border was decided.
Argentina also claimed it historically, not just Chile. It was just decided that each country would keep their side of the Andes and that was it.
@@zddxddyddw Yes, you are correct.
You put mar del plata in the wrong place in the map lol. 11:02
Don't even think about it!! You get my message.
Canada and Taiwan are the UKs and/or US’s lackey, not like they have a real opinion.
That first map is absolutely incorrect. The part in red doesn't include Buenos Aires and that's the only way you can get that figure of 40million people.
I think it's weird where you draw the line from north to south. Mar del Plata and Bahía Blanca would not belong to the same geographical divide as Patagonia. They are much closer to Buenos Aires.
I think we consider Patagonia as the south only.
I think that the data from the last National Census of 2022 must be taken into account, which indicates that the Federal Capital (CABA) has 3,120,612 inhabitants, while Greater Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires suburbs or AMBA) has 10,865,182 inhabitants, while that within the Province of Buenos Aires there are 6,703,871. The rest divided into different capitals of the rest of the provinces, with a total population of 46,044,703 inhabitants... throughout the country... To truly understand the idiosyncrasy of a country, we must understand how its population is distributed. That determines part of their customs.

As a Swede, this reminds me of my home country in quite many ways. Our North is also sparsely populated, but critical since it harbors vast quantities of natural resources. I don't know too many details, but much of it was effectively colonized from the local Sami people, which is a dark stain on our history, with some consequences being felt to this day. Keep up the good work, would be cool if you did an episode on Sweden!
Just add Uruguay (which has tons in common geographically, culturally, etc. with the Argentine core of Buenos Aires, Rosario, Entre Rios, etc.) to Argentina's north, and this video would basically stay the same.
algeria also the same
43 million people lives in the north in just 17 % of the area
but 4.5 million people lives in the rest 2 .1 million km square
i hope you make avideo about it

Rio Colorado is the limit of Patagonia. If you use that limit then the population living south is way way less,
I remember watching the Falklands Island war on tv when it happened.
Patagonia.... I am sure that is where paddington Bear resides!!
I feel this 15 minute video could've been done in like 5
El plan "andina" te suena?
I'd love an entire episode dedicated to Operation Condor and all the governments and regions it affected to this day.. I.e. what's REALLY causing the US border crisis is blow back from Condor operations in Central America designed to destabilize Left-Wing Paramilitary movements and governments and the drug cartels that use the power vacuum left behind to rob nations of their dignity and security... Most people don't even know about this project much less how it STILL shapes Geopolitical conflicts in 2024...
Te falto la isla de los estados
You forgot to indicate on the map the two argentine islands located east of Patagonia. Malvinas Argentinas.
In thumbnail the dividing line isn't placed correctly, it's much further south, parallel 38 south,...
where the line in thumbnail is incorrectly placed is precisely the most densely populated region that extends from Rosario (second largest city in Argentina) to Bahia. Blanca in the south of the province of Buenos Aires
You forgot about the indigenous "giants" that appear on the old Spanish maps! 😆
Mar del Plata city is on the coast.
Goeff, curious about your decision to include the province of Buenos Aires as part of the “south” of the country. It’s physically integrated into the north’s infrastructure and economically dependent on it. Cities such as Bahia Blanca are part of the broader provincia.
Seems like it's too cold to live in southern Argentina.
Imagine Argentinas whole population is 47 Million a country with an area of 2.7 Million square kilometers while in Bangladesh #DhakaDivision a second level state has a population of 44 Million which has an area of 20 thousand square kilometers, why? Bcz more than 80% of Bangladesh’s land is arable suitable for agriculture while for Argentina it’s only 14.3%.
Antarctica proximity?
Note that South America was not conquered by the Spanish or the Portugese: it was conquered by smallpox.
Smallpox destroyed all the mountain cultures of the Andes before a single European saw a South American mountain except from the Pacific side in the distance.
