มุมมอง 1162 หลายเดือนก่อน
Daniel Edward introduces American Samoa, the only Southern Hemisphere territory of the USA. Is it an American version of Samoa or a Samoan take on America? Why is it a territory and not a State? And what does that even mean? Talk concludes with an overview of interesting highlights for cruisers arriving in American Samoa via the primary port of Pago Pago.
thanks for making this video, really cool of you to present this country and island, it's history and it's unfortunate future. i hope to visit before tabuaeran island and kirimati island are too far gone, hopefully sailing my own boat south from hawaii, after leaving from the central coast here in CA. it's one of my main goals of the nextfew years. want to ride the waves(there are a few breaks that on their day are quite epic indeed), before the breaks too dissappear under water and as always meet the ppl who live there.
The Europeans didn’t colonise Tonga because Tonga had nothing they wanted for trading purposes.
Ah! The storyteller is excellent.
Thank you!
Great presentation
Thank you!
With the utmost respect to our Toga brothers and sisters, our neighbors to the south, I want to say to you the palagi narrator, You Are Full of Shit/
Fanning island is infact an atoll,that is build by corals.Climate change might be a bonus in bringing nutrients from the ocean floor(bad weather)accelerating coral growth.Atolls will disappear if corals cease to grow.
Yeah, that's an interesting perspective about coral atolls! Thanks for sharing!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Wasn't Kiribati already Underwater in 2014???
Maybe some islands, but certainly not all of it!
Last I heard of Kiribati, satelite surveys indicated an Increase in actual land area, quite contrary to what you advocate here. Sea level is NOT rising, global temperature is actually Cooling (as was indicated by data collected prior to early 1990's, before the corruption of temperature data commenced).
Ooh that's interesting - do you have a link I can read? That's positive news if so :) Thanks for taking the time to message
Yep this is just another climate alarmist
Having lived in Tonga for a couple of years This presentation was appreciated greatly. The presenter has a very good delivery style; the visuals were pertinent. May I suggest a relook at the pronunciation of 'Tonga', 'Neiafu', 'Houma', and 'archipelago'. Cheers
Thank you so much for the comment :) And for the notes on the pronunciations - I'll take a look at them :)
Not a bad vid actually. Soothing voice khhh...
Thank you :)
