10:07 I'm from Colo and those shrubs are Espeletias (we call them frailejones) and are only found in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela 😊 They're extremelly common in high altitudes!
Things appear farther apart on higher latitudes on a 2D map (with this projection type at least, don't remember what it's called). So you can miss by "farther" in the north or south and get less penalty because those two points in reality are closer than they appear. Think about how Greenland looks WAY bigger on a map than it is in reality, and Antarctica looks like it is the diameter of the whole Earth. Different areas of Greenland/Antarctica are actually much closer to each other than they look. As you get closer to the equator, the map distances become less skewed, so the same linear distance on the map is actually larger at the equator than in the north/south.
@@B3Band while this is true (this map projection is called mercator) and it does play a big role in score calculation, it's not the only reason. The score is calculated from both the distance of the guess (the geodesic distance, without projection) and the spread of the map itself, so that smaller maps (for example of small countries) require more accuracy for the same amount of points. So by reducing the spread of the locations in at least one of the 2 dimensions on the sphere (here the latitude spread is restricted), less points will be awarded for the same distance. You can see it for example on his Indonesia guesses, which would usually give more points.
1:48 directly before this video I watched Geowizard's newest one where he tries the Pain and Suffering map, and he got this island twice there, the foliage is quite distinctive. So immediately thought it's Nelson's Island xD
I'm Icelandic and can confirm :) Þþ and Ðð are pronounced like "th" in "the", but you let out more air on the second one. These characters are in Old English but Þ was phased out when printing press characters were imported from Germany where they didn't have the Þ, instead it got substituted with Y, which is why we have stuff like "Ye Olde English" but in reality Ye was always pronounced "The". Only in modern day do we say it how it's written.
@@Gilsworth I've looked up Iceladnic and old English letters before. I felt like I had a good idea of how it was pronounced. it's nice to see that coming to fruition! The phrase would be "Bare det værste" in Norwegian but we use "kun" often instean of bare if it's an absolute
love that disclaimer/caution message in the description, thank you for that anyway, not sure if you read comments but i'm really hoping you do cuz i really wanna know what sort of songs you used in the background for this video. they sound really soothing...
The ecosystem from the Colombia National Park you guessed Bolivia on is called "Páramo". It has very unique vegetation and appears at high altitude in certain places in the Andes, mainly in Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela.
The strange letter "þ" (thorn) in the name is pronounced like "th" in "thin" [θ], the "ð" like "th" in "this" [ð]. By the way, "þ" has no relation to "b" or "p", it's a Scandinavian runic letter brought into the Latin alphabet of modern Icelandic. English had both these letters as well, but ditched them later.
If you didnt know zigzag8, the name of the map has some old english letters that are still used in icelandic, ofc im talking about eth ð and thorn þ. In bara Þoð versta, the þ is pronounced th like in THing and ð is pronounced th like in THe. Thats it, hope this helps and have a go pronouncing it in part 2 of this video!!!
So glad you hit the like goal in the last video, I hope you hit it in this one too bc you definitely deserve it! That was impressive for such a difficult map
That place that shows up on Google Maps as a blue quadrilateral is Rose Atoll. It has two islands: Rose Island and Sand Island. I'm not sure why they doesn't show up on Google Maps, despite having pretty elaborate street view coverage. (There's even an underwater photo?!?)
I like when you have a location in the middle of the ocean on a tropical island but due to elevation it's all snowy and looks like Antarctica! There are a few spots like that if you can find them.😅
So amazing how you can identify this 😁 some are even spot on😁 For me it's like mh it's just a Bush somewhere in the World and he goes oh this Bush looks like Uganda 😁 love your Videos!
Would like to see a version of this map that removes all the remote islands. In its current iteration it's really just memorization of locations and playing enough until seeing repeats
I asked this a few videos before but you probably didn't see it. I'd like to know how can you see the exact year when the coverage was published. Can you see it in the middle of the screen? And what can this copyright tell you?
that p looking b letter thing is like danish/old english and its pronounced "th" and its called a thorn. you learn something new everyday 8:31 also, quadrilaterals dont have 5 sides lmao
Dude makes a map with 250 locations and two of them are in the same park in Uganda and there's like 10 on Christmas Island wtf. And every single location is near the equator? Horribly constructed map.
if anything, at least this series has taught us all how to find a bunch of obscure little islands on a map 💀
oh yeahhh

Point scoring radius is brutal. That's what makes the average score so low.
I was thinking the same thing, his 8 score in Indonesia should have been at least 2k
@@LightningEthan he did explain that it's because all locations are very close in latitude, so points go down much faster with distance
@@Naowakk ahh I see I thought all locations would be around the entire world which would balance it out

I'm Norwegian but it looks a lot like the name of the map is "Only the worst" in Icelandic
Correct, pronounced horrendously here, but hey i wouldn't expect an aussie to pronounce icelandic words correctly, so it's all good haha
@@Tvngsten It's "Bare det værste" in Bokmål Norwegian so I was able to fill fill in the middle word :P. Some dialects do use bara and versta

anyway, not sure if you read comments but i'm really hoping you do cuz i really wanna know what sort of songs you used in the background for this video. they sound really soothing...
imma release them as a video on my 2nd channel because i can’t remember what they’re called 😭

Those plants at 1:03 are young coconut palms.

id love to see a video on this map vs the botanist, i feel like he would have a good chance of making some good guesses and could be some
That botanist would wreck this map.
I've even started using his tips to improve my scores. It's wild how accurate his tips are.
Yo what's good everyone, it's ZigZag here, welcome back to another Island Roulette video

fire content, i dont know how youre not famous yet

The thumbnail Lmao 😂
zi8gzag suited up!!
my boy is mr beastifying geoguessr
3:00 you flipped your what?

U cooked so hard u lit my house on fire🔥
5:12 You just mentioned it was centred around the ecuator xD (meaning Botswana shouldn't be there)
true!
Or Madeira
Love these vids man!!
what a debonair fella in the thumbnail
cool video! Thank you Oscar for this masterpiece of moving picture! :D
most welcome laddo
How to study and remember islands it's so hard to get them all correct ;]
Zig you are the GOAT!
Wait how the hell does this guy only have 69k subs? :(
Is that your work outfit in the thumbnail? LOL. Great content.
nope 😭
Great map Love From Colombia hope you come soon
this map would be so much better if there were more variety in the locations, the map should be more vast
This 100%
"Guess where these plants are from" over and over is boring af
22:48 LOL
Anyone else catch on to the Malaysia call at 21:18 👀🤣
the other one was called denephew
Can’t wait for the nmpz 25k!
Bro is looking dapper in the thumbnail
I don't feel like this map even has countries north of equator.
Not sure it needs to be said, but that thumbnail is 97% Young Sheldon. 😂
Man those Samoan ones were brutal.
What music do you use in the background?
how do you make it so you get so few points if you are very close?
thumbnail is elite haha
yaeeyyyy the like goal was hit 🎉
Would like to see a version of this map that removes all the remote islands. In its current iteration it's really just memorization of locations and playing enough until seeing repeats
Why is the scoring so harsh on this map? Like guessing Sumatra on Kalimantan is just 8 points??
cause all of the locations are centered around the equator
@@antibab5023 yeah that's what I realized later!
National park and Island guessing game
1012 - 0 likes, i think that speaks for itself! great content, love watching you after work. all the best!
I got 681 points on this one. One of the rounds I got 600. I am proud of myself
How many snakes have you actually seen in the wild being Australian?
Some great guesses!
What is the secret blue island? Anyone know?
I asked this a few videos before but you probably didn't see it. I'd like to know how can you see the exact year when the coverage was published. Can you see it in the middle of the screen? And what can this copyright tell you?

Zig i.m hungry
Is interestelar the background music?
Shoutout if you recognized the second location on the first round from GeoWizards video!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whats the like goal for you to grind for first on the map :skull:
This north Botswanan bush has a bit of a Ugandan look to it 🤔
Including images on Blue Polygon Island is just rude
sees a picture:
ah yes this feels wet
nice
Wtf with this score. 8 points on Indonesia?
Is it just me or.did he ha e over 70k subs? Is he losing a lot of subs fast? Why?
nope never had 70
Took me like 2 hours to get 17k
Whatsup with the points?? U’re so close and only getting a few points
Yooooo
pin (no balls)
I don't know man..."Guess where these plants are from" is kinda boring, not gonna lie.
lovin the mr beast thumbnails lol
