I can’t believe I have to point this out but at 4:46 where you say the Autograph Tower recently overtook Auckland’s Sky Tower as the tallest building in the southern hemisphere you showed a picture of the CN Tower in Toronto, Canada.
South of Canada ...
Bruh
I noticed that as well!
I came here to say this
Toronto is not in NZ? lol
In Australia, we do not recognise the "Great Australian Desert". We subdivide the desert area into the Simpson Desert, The Gibson Desert, the Tanami Desert, Sturt's Stony Desert, the Great Victoria Desert and the Nullarbor Plain., along with one or two others.
Don't forget the Dry Desert.
The night sky visible from the southern hemisphere is vastly more spectacular than from the north.
I had heard...
Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, Alpha Centauri. Would love to see it.
@@polyrhythmiaAlpha and Beta Centauri with the southern cross are a beautiful and iconic pair in our southern sky.
On the other hand, I wonder how different is the northern sky. I've never saw Polaris or Vega for example
@@Rod2912Andromeda galaxy the one thing that Southern hemisphere lacks. What is great about Southern sky is that Sagittarius is high up. I consider this part of the sky to be most beautiful.
useless fact unless you go to wilderness.

3:43 you talk about a clockwise spin for storms while showing an anti-clockwise spinning storm.
he talked about both in the same sentence, so not wrong
But this is about the Southern Hemisphere 🤔
I noticed that too, thought I was going crazy
2:32 how could you forget about New Zealand and jump straight to Chile? NZ is 13th equal with Belgium at 0.937.

4:46 you showed a picture of the Toronto CN tower while talking about the Auckland sky tower
I’m afraid I had to stop watching after I heard that mistake. Can’t trust the other “facts”. Nice try, though!
@@lisamacisaac4843like HDI, Chile is 42nd, New Zealand is 12th…
Being an Aussie, I have to say I did learn quite a bit but I have to say I think New Zealand seems to have been left out a bit. They don't seem to have got much of a mention.
What should New Zealand have been mentioned more for?
@@mikespearwood3914 Oh, maybe bring the birthplaces of Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to have been reliably recorded to climb Mt Everest, Ernest Rutherford, the first person to discover the atomic nucleus, great racing drivers like Bruce McLaren, Chris Amon, Denny Hulme & Possum Bourne, the great operatic soprano, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, etc
How about a large percentage of the north island being a super volcano? Or how New Zealand, along with New Caledonia & several other islands are the only pieces of land above water of a much larger ancient continent called Zealandia?
How about how the indigenous Maori forced the British to agree to a treaty when the exhausted British gave up after warring with the Maori?
@@elroyfudbucker6806 Then you can go make that video then.👍
@@elroyfudbucker6806 And only your second paragraph is relevant due to being geographic in nature.
Agreed. I would think NZ would have been the second most developed southern hemisphere nation after Australia. Instead we jumped to Chile.
Auckland's Sky Tower sure looks an awful lot like Toronto's C.N. Tower.
2:34 you said the second most developed country in the southern hemisphere is Chile, when its New Zealand
Yes, I was thinking that also.
🤣 New Zealand gets no respect🤣
Actually surprised New Zealand isn't #1.
@@richardhudson4649 Australia is #1 being 5th place in the world in HDI compared to 14th place NZ. I'm curious why though as a Sydneysider haha. But maybe the grass is greener on the other side 😅. I hear many Kiwis immigrate to Australia so maybe the life quality is better here.
@@lbell9695it’s cause it bounces around between New Zealand and Australia
A very small and non populated part of Brazil is in the northern hemisphere.
It's like 1% of the population

Imagine how the world could have been if Antarctica was a few degrees up North.
or a few degrees up celsius
UNDEROATH
Then, it would have mostly likely been part of Australia, either a massive continent or more like the Mediterranean.
It has been before over a very long time scale
There are plenty of old maps that were made from ancient maps showing it accurately and ice free that we cannot explain.
I had never heard of the "Great Australian Desert" before! Being an Aussie, we know this collective desert by their individual names - Simpson, Gibson, Victoria, Sandy etc!
I've heard this reference a few times primarily in American and British written books/columns.
Being an Aussie myself can't help but laugh when I see or hear it.
@@zombierinbglord I was thinking the same thing, I've heard it mentioned in a lot of these videos, but never by an Aussie. I think maybe those people who want to claim it's all one desert should visit some different parts of that desert & see the different vegetation & colour of the sand/soil to see just how different they all are
Also, you have a higher chance of getting a sunburn in the southern hemisphere during summer, for three reasons. The earth is closer to the sun on it's orbit during southern hemisphere summer, the air is less polluted, and the ozone is thinner
Some other facts, I want to give you a few other facts about the Southern Hemisphere:
1. The seasons are reversed. The New Year starts in summer and the middle of the year is winter.
2. In most places, the noon sun is viewed north instead of south as in the Northern Hemisphere. The only difference is in the tropics where depending on the time of year and location, the noon sun can either be viewed north or south.
The seasons aren't reversed. The coldest months in the southern hemisphere are called Winter and the hottest months are called Summer. This is the same as it is in the Northern Hemisphere.
The seasons in the Northern and Southern hemispheres are opposite at any point in time.
To your second point, the relative angle of the earth's axis to the sun and hence to the hemispheres at any point in time is the reason why the seasons are opposite.
@@stephenpower8723 Yeah, exactly my point.
tropical countries who doesnt have winter:
In North hemisphere peoples were fasting for more than 24 hour during Yom Kippur (month 1 day 10 ) in Southern peoples were fasting for more than 24 hour during Isaka warsa (month 10 day 1)

I'm South African, South Africa's population is just over 62million, which is more than Tanzania and also the name of "SOUTH AFRICA" is 11letters which is longer than Madagascar.
he said longest single word
But still, South Africa's name is South Africa, you can't call it just Africa or South. The full name is the Republic of South Africa.
@@andrefortuin4554 its still multiple words though mate
@@samkneen regardless, Mozambique is also 10 letters.
@@TheSpiritombsableye Plus Mozambique sound cooler than Madagascar. Although they both sound cool.
You are absolutely right. We in south don't get much attention😢. People say im wrong for saying summer is in Decemberand winter is in june. No one thinks New Zealand is in the south so we will be opposite to seasons.
Thank you for posting this video.
New Zealand is way more popular worldwide than bigger and more populated countries, just because NZ is developed and speaks English.
@primerio thats in general i suppose. If its regarding the seasons especially, people don't think like ohh u r in south so opposite seasons. Like our solstice is opposite to the north.
@@geografisica
It helps that the popular movies of the lord of the rings were filmed there
Who thinks New Zealand is in the northern hemisphere... FFS
chad tropical people: winter is a myth.
Another fact, the largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere is Perisher located in New South Wales, Australia.
"Don't tell us kiwis that." We are such intellectuals we would just say ours is fluffier than yours. And then we will tell you it's true because someone in jail taught them everything they know.
Is not on Argentina (Bariloche) or Chile (Vale Nevado)?
Tite cranium
@@timway6839 you probably should talk about your mountain heights & varieties rather than "fluffy snow" lol plenty of Aussies go to NZ to ski, cause they consider the ski fields better there. Bigger isn't always better
Thank you for acknowledging that the world has two hemispheres. Northern hemisphere countries are so obsessed with their own existence, countries like Australia are often ignored or stereotyped. Love my country 🇦🇺
Hi Fiona
Australia ignored? … then South America and Africa 💀
As an Australian I can confirm that we like it that way
@@geografisicakiribati:
Yep but the second-developed country (nz) was still forgotten XD
4:44 that's not Auckland's Sky Tower, that's Toronto's CN Tower 💀
CN Tower includes the worst food I have ever eaten. If you are thinking of eating there DON'T 😂
Isn't New Zealand the second most developed country in the Southern Hemisphere?
No
@@Extra6621 NZ is 13th, Chile 42nd.
New Zealand GDP is 249.9 Billion USD. Chile is 255 Billion GDP.
As a Chilean I gotta say this caught me by surprise.
@@FoxSullivan I found a site that had Chile at over $300b. I guess other factors are used to determine 'development' other than GDP.
@@FoxSullivan the standard of living in New Zealand is higher though. Because they have pretty much the same GDP, but new Zealand has a much lower population, meaning there significantly more money available per citizen. That translates into a higher GDP per capita
8:20 aside from Madagascar, you also have Mozambique and Seychelles both at 10 letters
Here are some other facts.
- the highest lake where you can navigate Titicaca lake.
- the highest international airport is in Bolivia
- the southern hemisphere is next to earth’s positive magnetic charge
- not sure, but probably the southern hemisphere contains most of the rain forest and it’s diverse ecosystems.
Hello! Greetings from Uruguay 🇺🇾 One thing that should be pointed out is the spectacular Magellanic Clouds, two galaxies which can be seen from the Southern Hemisphere.
Fact 31: People think my country Venezuela is located in the Southern Hemisphere just for the fact that we are in South America, but we are located a 100% in the Northern Hemisphere.
That's similar of a mind bender in that Panama canal is entered from a easternmost point then from the west (when entering west to east)
Guyana and Suriname too.
The CN Tower is not the Auckland Sky Tower
Hey the wrong picture was shown at 4:48. That’s the CN tower in Toronto, Canada
2'34 After Australia, the most developed country is New Zealand.
Was about to comment this.
I just looked it up: Chile has a GDP of 255 Billion USD, whilst New Zealand has a GDP of 249.9 GDP.
I'm Chilean and I'm honestly surprised.
@@FoxSullivanPer capita nz is richer. NZ only has 5.5million people, while Chile has 19.5.
@@FoxSullivan HDI is not GDP. And if you want to use gdp, it’s gdp per capita which NZ is higher
The longest river in the south hemisphere is the Amazon River. Even if you dont include the extreme small portion of its discharge that is located in the north.
the second most developed country is NZ but damn it, it was nice to see Chile mentioned for once
NZ the second most develped ????? Mmwhaahahahahahahahahahhh
2:36 no it’s not Chile; it’s actually New Zealand
New Zealand is third. Chile's economy is well developed; it just doesn't seem that way due rampant inequality.
@@FoxSullivanHDI=/=GDP

For a video supposedly made to give a little praise to the Southern Hemisphere you spent a lot of time comparing it to the Northern Hemisphere and saying it is worse in almost everything.
Also, you said Mount Aconcagua is in Argentina's "western coast". Argentina has no western coast.
2:35 error 404: New Zeland not found again
“The second most is Chile”
Wrong. NZ
6:00 "...a distance of around 786,000 km^2." Distance and Area are not the same thing.
Basic fact: The Southern Hemisphere has seasons that are the opposite of the Northern Hemisphere
So December is winter in the North and it's summer in the south
2:33 Uhh... you forgot about New Zealand for 2nd most developed (HDI of 0.937). Definitely more developed than Chile.
The fact that New Zealand gets forgotten in some maps makes this a reasonable mistake 😂
30 Juicy Facts About Brazil and Australia
Australia you mean. There is almost nothing about Brazil. The video is pure bias.
The only nation's that really matter..
Vídeo totalmente anglosaturado, parece que só quis selecionar os fatos que mais inclui a Austrália
As an Aussie, I agree, we were over-represented in this video, at the expense of other countries that deserved to be included
He forgot to mention that Australia is the smallest, oldest, flatest, least densely & driest populated continent in the world & the only continent that is also a nation.
papua island is actualy part of australia continent.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 Technically speaking, being the pedant that I am, the entire island is called New Guinea, the eastern side is the nation of Papua New Guinea, while the western side, which is a province of Indonesia is known as Irian Jaya. And while the island of New Guinea technically is part of the Australian continent (due to the shared continental shelf), because of the Torres Strait & Arafura Sea that separates the Australia from New Guinea, Australia is popularly thought of as being a continent on its own.
@@elroyfudbucker6806 respect for you for knowing such obscure little fact, but thats outdated. the province is renamed to Papua in 2000 and now is split into 5 provinces.
and "papua" is also a correct name as it is an endonym.
@@rizkyadiyanto7922 My apologies. I am behind the times.

2:27 The second most developed country in the Southern Hemisphere is New Zealand at 13= with a score of 0.937 according to HDI. Chile is well behind at 42.
Fun Fact: my dads best mates brother Pat Farmer ran around Australia for charity. 7.7 million square kilometres is a lot of land to run around 😮
You only have to run 3kms for charity in Australia. Op Shops are everywhere
New Zealand is much more developed than Chile mate
Brazil its the most populated country in Southern Hemisphere, with more than 216 million inhabitants.
but land area is much bigger than Indonesia, so population per km square is lower
Another fun fact: the most populous island in the world located in the southern hemisphere
4:44 is incorrect. The Tower shown is the CN Tower, which is not in Auckland or even the Southern Hemisphere

What?? I was waiting for the most spoken language in the Southern Hemisphere! The top 4 are Portuguese, Spanish, Javanese and English in order. Australia is the richest country but you need to be rich to live in Australia. The average price paid to purchase a basic house is over 1 million dollars. Don't come here if you're not a millionaire. Apart from housing everything else is also out of reach of a normal person
The amazon/solimon river is the largest river solely on southern hemisphere. The hidrographic basin have ramifications from the north hemisphere, but the river itself is just on south.
The area shown at 10:00 is a reversed view of the mouth of the St. Lawrence River and the closely located portions of Canada.
The Indian Ocean doesn’t go under Australia. That’s the Southern Ocean.
Well, some people can say the Southern Ocean doesn't exist, instead, they are the South Pacific, South Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
I'm Australian, so the maps I see show the Australian boundaries for neighbouring seas ands oceans.
But now, having checked, the Wikipedia article - which discusses Australia quite a bit - says there are various definitions. But it doesn't mention Southern Ocean denialism.
Australia is an Island-Country, not a continent. You Americans need to chill out😅
In terms of name length, Madagascar and Moçambique are tied
I thought Sao Paulo was the most populated city in southern hemesphere
He's counting the metropolitan area of Jakarta, that includes other cities and has almost 30 million people, while Sao Paulo metropolitan area has 22 million. But between the two cities alone, without the surrounding urban area, the population of Sao Paulo is greater, with 12 million people against 10 million in Jakarta. So, yes, excluding the metropolitan area, Sao Paulo is the most populated city in Southern Hemisphere

Cool vid. Cheers from Tasmania.Australia.
It's ironic that in a video devoted to the Southern Hemisphere your closing image is of the Canadian St Lawrence River estuary and maritime provinces, albeit reversed, which is most often used when the materials are pirated. I hope that's not the case, as it would spoil an otherwise interesting episode.
Cost too much to film the real spot? Ha Ha.

Another fact, the Atacama desert, located at the north of Chile, as well as the frontier with Peru and Bolivia, is the most arid desert on the world, with specific sectors that haven't received a single drop of rain for hundred of thousands of years.
Table Mountain is the only mountain range in the world found in the Southern hemisphere that is named Mons Mensae,after one of the star constellations that can be seen from the Southern hemisphere.
4:46 That's not a picture of Auckland's Sky Tower. That's a picture of Toronto's CN Tower and the Rogers Centre stadium (formerly the SkyDome) to the left of it.
The southern hemisphere is the best. I have never been to the northern hemisphere.
it's cold up here
Then how do you know that? As it happens you are right, but go to Canada and the USA - It will open your eyes AND make you grateful you don't live there.
For fact 1 you forgot the continent of zealandia
yup, but I guess when he can't even include the correct above ground structure of New Zealand, that probably shouldn't have been a surprise. That continent imo though is an obvious fact that should have been included & featured, the world's only primarily submerged continent is in the southern hemisphere & he didn't think that was worth a mention? Not even to include it in the list of continents found in the southern hemisphere?
Australia's area is approx. 7.7 million square kilometres, not 7.7 million kilometres squared. There is a HUGH difference. The later is 7.7 million time bigger than the former.
Very nice, where geographical knowledge is concern. Wonderful, many thanks.
