Fun fact: Brazil's northernmost point is closer to EVERY other country in the Americas, Canada included, than it is to its own southernmost point. Mind blown.
That pin for Cape Spear is quite a way off; it looks like St. Anthony or L'Anse aux Meadows has been pinned - about 1000km by car from where Cape Spear actually is . Also, Cape Spear is not on St-Pierre et Miquelon, it's on the island of Newfoundland (Canadian province), 15km east of St. John's (capital city of Newfoundland & Labrador)
Came here to say that too
I had a good laugh about this one.
I noticed a few mistakes in this video.
1. The easternmost point of mainland Chile is actually very far south nearby an Argentinian town called Monte Dinero.
2. The easternmost part of Greenland is not as far east as you think because you were looking at the 3d projection from a wrong angle. The easternmost part of Greenland is a little bit west of Ireland instead of being east of the UK.
3. The continent is called Oceania, not Oceana.
8:15 this too?
And the most eastern point in brazil its not recife, its João Pessoa
Also, cap spear, North Americas’s easternmost is located in NL, Canada.
@@verybadkarma7745canada is more east than greenland?
Fun fact: Oman's furthest North point is actually an exclave in the UAE.
common knowledge
@@FederatedStatesofMicronesia knob
I know about Musandam (The bigger of the 2 Oman exclaves that you were talking about), but I don't understand how the northeasternmost point of the UAE is separated from it by Oman. The only exclave the UAE has is Nahwa which is neither the northernmost nor the southernmost point. I actually went to Musandam before.
@@fsponj you're right, IDK how I got confused XD
@@fsponjSmall correction: Nahwa is an enclave, not an exclave
It would've been nice if you were CONSISTENT in defining extremes, like defining Mexico's, France's, or Denmark's extremes to their islands or territories but limiting Chile's and Australia's extremes to their mainland. These are definite distractors in watching more of your videos!
This. It would have been better to make a video only for mainland territories and another video for combining the two lol. Like it's just so weird to consider greenland (huge) far away from (small) denmark but NOT consider cape horn in chile which would just be a couple extra hundred kms south of a pretty large country?? (Also southernmost point in all the non-antartica continents)
Agreed. This feels so arbitrary, almost like an opinion post rather than an informative one.
Not worth watching
Such inconsistencies are common on this and the other AI “documentary” channels plaguing TH-cam these days. When the AI finds multiple datasets while “researching” it tends to either randomly choose one to present, or worse, it attempts to combine them but does so in ways that don’t make any sense, creating videos that are inconsistent and very often factually inaccurate.
@dvongrad, since you didn't address this comment to The Geography Bible, it's very likely he'll never see it.
@7:12 Cape Spear is part of Newfoundland actually. It's location is also incorrectly indicated
8:00 Norway's most southern point is actually Bouvet Island in the Antarctic Ocean
Or even South pole
He said that he would use Norway's mainland
7:02 Some silly mistakes at this point of the video. 1) Cape Spear is not where the arrow is. 2) It's nothing to do with St Pierre et Miquelon. 3) And they're at the south of Newfoundland, not "east of Canada".
Thank you! Came to make the same comment.
Shouldn't Chile's most Southern point be Cape Horn? 🤔
He said _mainland_ chile
He restricted it to “mainland” Chile so technically no since that’s not attached by land. I still think it should’ve been included after the mainland bit was done, as well as the few Pacific islands it has. Same for the non-mainland bits of Australia and Norway. Especially since Norway has Bouvet Island and that’s a way more interesting geographical quirk than just finding the top part on a map.
I think he stuck to the very assumption of the continuous mainland Chile and thus didn't include Cape Horn. Because if were to include all territories, then Easter Island would be Chile's westernmost point.
@@CwMGameplaysNorway also has a large chunk of Antarctica
I mean yeah but like all Antarctic claims, it’s disputed
why do you say that chile's southernmost point is on its mainland yet you count islands as extremeties for other countries instead of their mainland?
There is a land border between Victoria and Tasmania close to Tasmania; that would be a good bit of info to include, as it’s technically the most southern point of any mainland state, but Tasmania should be included, it is HUGE.
You’re right
To include Greenland for Denmark which is a whole other country, but not include Tasmania which is literally a state of Australia, as an Aussie, I’m disappointed
@@amandawatson6573 greenland is not a whole other country. it is an autonomous territory that is absolutely part of denmark. i agree that he should've included tasmania if he was going to include greenland, but it's just straight up false to say that greenland is a country because it isn't.
Where is this?
@@rickhouse4407 it's called boundary islet. you can search it on google maps to see exactly where it is.
You missed an irony at 14:00. The island off of Cancun that is Mexico's easternmost point is Isla Mujeres. The specific point on the Island, that is easternmost, is Punta Sur, or South Point.
Similarly, Uruguay's southermost point is in (or an island off of) the region called Punta del Este, or East Point.
Iran 🤝 Mexico:
Tallest volcano in their continent
Having 31 first level subdivisions
Most of people live close to mountains
Being on top 20 largest countries (17th and 13th)
Having very hot deserts, and very large population
have last more than a half of its territory since largest expand
Most importantly
Hate the US
Dumb comment
What on Earth happened at 7:05?
Yes, the easternmost point of North America is Cape Spear, but...
1. Cape Spear is in Canada, not St. Pierre et Miquelon.
2. The marker thingy isn't pointing at Cape Spear, nor is it pointing at St. Pierre. It's pointing at the northern tip of Newfoundland.
3. St. Pierre et Miquelon is east of Mainland Canada, but it's southwest of Newfoundland.
EDIT: You followed that up with "most westernmost" Yikes
In Wikipedia it's Cape Charles
@@ArnoldLokman Clearly, Wikipedia is incorrect. It is Cape Spear - I've been there, and read the sign!
@@ArnoldLokman Cape Charles, Labrador, is _continental_ North America's easternmost point. Either way, the video's quite wrong.
When Kaffeklubben Ø was named, it was not known to be the most northern dry land on earth. It was named by an expedition from the Geographical Institute of the University of Copenhagen, which was mapping the north coast of Greenland. They named this insignificant island for the coffee club of the institute.
Why would you exclude Tasmania and Australia's territories (Christmas Island, etc)? To include Greenland but exclude Tasmania was a weird choice. I was excited for a bit when you said 'mainland' as I thought you would include the island that Victoria and Tasmania share, but no. Oh well. I did enjoy the Perth fact though.
Because this video sucks
Brazil most eastern point is in the city of João Pessoa, not in Recife.
Also, Pico da Neblina, Brazil's highest point is pretty close to the border wirh Venezuela, but it is entirely in Brazil.
8:45
Yet the narrowest point in Norway is just 8, 3 km wide.
*Easily* walkable in one day if you're fit and the weather is good.
Also, if you where to include our other territories...
A fact most people don't know is (i'm considering mainlands of course) Brazil is the longest country north-south paralells. I belive the other ones after it are Chile and Russia
7:08 it's on the Canadian island of Newfoundland
5:19 Cape Froward is in the middle of the south end of Chile, so how can it be the southernmost point? There must be a point facing Antarctica you can find.
It's closer you arrive in canada from the northernmost place in brazil than arrive in the southernmost point.
if there's going to be a third part, i think finland would be interesting since 2 of the extreme points are also the extreme points of the EU
it's only the northernmost point that is an extreme point of the EU, the easternmost is marketed as the easternmost point of the EU but Cyprus is more east 😂 (and also Reunion)
@@prplt oh yeah true lol. should've specified that the eastern one is the continental EU's eastern point
Cool video! It would be cool to see pictures (or close-up Satellite view if none available) of the extreme points in the next video.
Next part: The Democratic Republic of Congo, New Zealand, India, Saudi Arabia and Lesotho
Brazil actually has islands in the Atlantic that are way further east than the mainland point mentioned.
Question! Where is the location of the video clip with all the islands that you used to introduce Indonesia?
I was howling at 'izlet' found on the western side of the 'Azorros'.
7:06 Cape Spear is the most eastern point you can go in North America, but you placed the red pin wrong.
Also the is null island buoy, where equator meets the prime meridian, it´s very weird
why do so many people say that kiribati is the only country in all four hemispheres? don't they know france exists?
edit: they also don't know the uk exists
Because most people don't consider external territories when just talking about geography and for a good reason. You should specify when combining mainland + overseas, not the other way around.
I never considered Greenland when talking about Denmark’s sheer size, that’s pretty interesting.
well you should have
Probably most people don't. Greenland is it's own thing, yes it belongs to denmark but when you say "denmark" most people wouldn't combine the two in general speak
@@petrus9067 True.
Fun fact: Mexican city of Tijuana is closer to Canada than it is to the end of Rio Suchiate, the southern most point of Mexico
I had thought the border between Panama and Colombia would be the southernmost point of North America and the northernmost point of South America … but Cocos Island national park of Costa Rica turns out to be more southern than the southern border of Panama. I feel surprised because of that!
Make it interesting by adding all of Australia’s territory and doing Antarctica in part 3
every direction is north
How about a video about the countries with the longest coastlines?
Nice that you took Norway, my beloved neighboring country in this video. I live in Finland, but I have been to the northernmost, easternmost and southernmost places of continental Norway.
A fun little fact is that the landlocked country of Moldova is cut off from the coast by about 2km of Ukrainian land.
i like how this bri ish guy posts fun and educational geography videos at a very fast rate, keep it up 👍x
I saw a tidbit that Greenland is further North, further South, further East, and further West than Iceland.
Greenland and Canada actually have a land border on Hans Island.
I noticed several mistakes in this video. You didn’t include the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao) which are constituent countries in the Kingdom of Denmark. One of these would be the southernmost and westernmost points.
You referenced Continental Australia. There is a difference between the continent of Australia and the country of Australia. The continent of Australia also includes the island of New Guinea. You should clarify the difference between the continent and the country.
The ABC are not part of Denmark they are part of the Netherlands. Continent is a vague term that doesn't actually have a set meaning, it's very debatable whether New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. Either way, when one says "continental" part of a country it only refers to that country
it would be more interesting if photos of each extremities were included with short climatic or biodiversity, demographic or similar differences between these points. Also it would make more sense not to include Greenland as Denmark's extremity as it is usually considered Metropolitan Denmark when the country is discussed
Confused why Newfoundland wasn’t counted
the border between baarle hertzog and baarle nassau on the belgian and dutch border
I may be wrong here, but doesn’t Chile have a an Atlantic coast (albeit small), in Tierra del Fuego?
Cape Spear is in Canada on Newfoundland. It is the continent's most easterly point.
If you exclude Greenland it is.
If Indonesia's western most point has a military base with barracks , doesnt that mean it is inhabited?
No people talk about inhabited islands, they mean with a permanent native population not with some military dude sent over that never were born there aren’t going to have children there and I don’t leave whenever the government decides they’re going to leave
"Perth is the most isolated big city on earth"
Manaus,,casan(russia), antofagasta, punta arenas, omsk, krasnoiarsk,anchorage and honolulu: am i joke to you?
Literally none of those are as isolated as Perth besides Honolulu, but that’s nowhere near as big lmao, not really a ‘big city’ what’s your point?
Santiago is only a few miles from Valparaiso.
@@BurgoYT for me any cities that are very important in their respective locations
@@sydhenderson6753 oh wait i didnt consider that
Perth is the furthest this Midwesterner can be from home and be in a city. My actual antipode is somewhere southwest of Perth in the India Ocean
fire vid
Nice video: suggest maybe a bit more time editing the script. Apart from the mistakes below, the sentence saying Brazil 'stretches for a distance of around 8.5 million kilometres squared' is sort of nonsense.
"Mainland Denmark" excludes Copenhagen of course
Your right in saying the easternmost place in Canada is cape spare but it’s not in Saint Pierre it’s in Newfoundland. Saint Pierre is on the west coast of Newfoundland not the east coast
@9:10 - Washington Island now has 28 reviews on Google maps, so loneliness is no more its selling point i suppose! :)
The Bible of Géographie shall not forget the extreme points of Vatican City.
Speaking of Greenland, it has points further north, south, east and west than Iceland.
plz notice me bro i love all ur vids
no
N. America's eastern most point is not st pierre/miq as you state....those are located south and west if new foundland.....the marker u included in the video is incorrect
Don't mix islands with mainland. 😮
Super
I would have thought that the correct way of expressing an area is "square kilometres", not "kilometres squared".
French Guyana belongs also to Europe, so you need to correct the video 👍
Cape Spear is not part of St-Pierre et Miquelon. It's part of the Island of Newfoundland.
7:10 Not only did you mark cape spear wrong on the map, it actually belongs to canada instead of france
Geography Bible, how and when did Costa Rica end up being the southernmost country in Central America, and thus, North America, when Panama is south of it, and with the Darien Gap conveniently located between these 2 countries, in all my 76 years, I've it said that it's the dividing line.
Your definition of "just north" is a bit broader than that of most people, in that Mt. Denali and Anchorage are separated by approx. 135 mi./217 km.
In response to your offer, I have 3 places in the US which certainly qualify as weird border points. First off, heading east, is Pt. Roberts, WA, in that it’s necessary to drive through Canada in order to get to the rest of the US, due to a surveying mistake during the setting of the 49th parallel as the border between the US and Canada during the Oregon Treaty signing in 1846; located on the tip of a peninsula in Puget Sound north of Seattle.
Second is Minnesota’s Angle Inlet--the sole town in the Northwest Angle--cut off from the rest of the state by Lake of the Woods, necessitating a drive through Manitoba to get to the rest of the country, due to a border misunderstanding during the writing of the 1783 Treaty of Paris.
Finally, there’s Hyder (HIGH-dur) which is in the Panhandle, or Southeast, of Alaska, normally served by the State Ferry System, but being east of the Coast Mtns., it’s cut off, making a flight, or a 441mi./710km. drive through Canada on the Cassiar (CASS-ee-er), Alaska and Klondike Hwys. necessary to get to Skagway--the nearest other town in AK by road.
"Norway's southernmost point is at the bottom of the country" You're joking?? 😳😱
Chile has way more southernmost points than the ones you circling out
Cape Wrangel is so far west it is actually the most eastern point... think of it
have you ever.. ever felt like this..?
Bro forgot New Foundland when he was discussing North America’s most eastern point
The most western point in Europe is Tearaght Island, Ireland
No it is not
1:46 I almost gagged from hearing that absolutely despicable pronunciation of Christiansø. He could've at least searched up the pronunciation, but instead he just broke the geneva convention's laws with that pronunciation🤮
why are we considering Greenland part of Denmark but not Tasmania part of Australia ??? Interesting video concept but the info feels really random and not well thought out.
Cape Spear is in Newfoundland not St. Pierre and Miquelon.
7:02 Cape Spear is in Newfoundland, not St. Pierre. Even the point you have shown on the map is wrong.
Iran is more northern, southern, eastern and western than Kuwait, Bahrain and most of Qatar
So you include a territory in green land but exclude a countries state in Tasmania? I’m curious to get to the bottom of your strange decision making 😂
afro-eurasia is the most populated island
I was generally interested in the information presented until the mistakes became too hard to ignore... Cape Spear is in Newfoundland, Canada
Here before 1k views
You're not very consistent with including Greenland for Denmark but excluding Tasmania for Australia..
Just seems like you're aligning facts in a way you prefer just to create material for this video
Saying "Mt. Denali" is saying "Mountain Big Mountain" for the record. So the correct name is simply Denali.
And as many people have noted, it would have been great if you had used consistency in your definitions. Even in your own screenshots you for some reason said the point you mention was the most extreme, but in reality, the screenshots, its easy to prove otherwise. That is extremely strange to me.
Once again, Africa with its 54 countries doesn't exist in the world.
he did in first video
ambatabus
4:04 Every westernmost point of any country in the world is the point where you can see the final sunset of that country... 🙄🙄🙄
Mount denali is mount McKinley
they changed it back to Denali
The Aleutian Islands are getting tired of your disrespect. They're both the westernmost and easternmost points of North America.
🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Why don't Brits even try to pronounce things correctly? Chile ends in an E, not an I. It's chee lay, not chih lee. Chili you find in a bowl, Chile you find on a map.
It's pronounced Gayd-zer
3nd
I usually enjoy these videos, but there’s so much that’s inaccurate in this one-both in the narration and video-that I had to stop halfway through.
