I was today years old when I discovered that Mumbai was an island.
same
Me too
I had a mental reset after he said that
Yep same
Wow that's kinda old
I think it's incredible that Java, a single island, has more people living on it than all of Russia.
yeah
Literally everyone knows that you nerd no offense
Yeah bcause of the geography important minirals were made in java :D
Still it's a nightmare to live on as it was too densely populated
We are fortunate... not relying too heavily on guano... Volcanoes are blessing...
Is it weird that Honshu and java is ironically depends on the volcanoes on their island yet they also threatened by the same volcanoes
true
Not to forget about Luzon, Mindanao and Sumatrat also volcanoe islands.
Excluding Great Britain, the world’s five most populated islands are around the the perimeter called the Ring of Fire.
The most notable ones would have to be:
- Mt. Fuji, which hasn’t erupted in over 300 years and is the tallest point in Japan, located in *Honshu*
- Mt. Mayon, known for its stereotypical “volcano” shape and is, by the way, is still actively spewing out lava in the southern tip of *Luzon*
- and Krakatoa, which is a caldera that sits in the waters between *Java* and *Sumatra,* known for creating one of the _loudest sounds in recorded history_ when it blew off its top in the late 1800s.
High risk, high reward, I guess?
There's a risk and reward for it
The risk is the volcanoes, ironicly it is also the reward too
Volcano burst their lava, the lava itself kill people with easy, but that lava also the source for fertile the land
I live in Mindanao, Philippines, literally under the pin 3:20. Well to be honest, the terrorism are mostly found on the southern and southwestern parts of the island and sulu archipelago between mindanao and borneo, elsewhere its pretty much safe that is including my hometown too
This is so facinating. The fact that there is land completely surrounded by water that have this much population is just mind blowing!
Mindanao Island in general is at peace. It has lots of sprawling cities like Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, Surigao, Dipolog, Tagum, Digos, etc. I think we shouldn't get scared of the Mindanao Island. It's a beautiful part of the Philippines.
Thank you for confirming the difference between Great Britain and the British Isles. I've never been quite sure which is which! Cheers from the really bloody big island continent of Australia 🇦🇺
They shouldn't have done this. Many people have talked sbout it.
I live in a city here in Mindanao but it's very safe and peaceful. There are just some areas not advisable to travel
Have you heard of Mindanao?
Brazilian viewer: ainda não
As a Non brazilian viewer, I take this comment as funny
I've been living on both Java🇮🇩 and Honshu🇯🇵. Wish to go Britain🇬🇧 someday!
From 2009-2014, I have lived in a small town in Luzon. I loved it there, so I'm going back there for the summer.
I have been to Honshu and Luzon. I went to Honshu for a stop and went on another plane to Luzon about 9 years ago.
I live in Java island of Indonesia 🇮🇩, you should come visit us one day :)
I've been in Madeira, Mallorca, Tenerife, Great Britain, Crete, Santorini, Sjaelland, Fyn, Falster, Bornholm, Capri, Murano, Burano
I have been to 2 of these islands. Afroeurasia and America
Same
Same here
Notable other islands with a lot of people are Long Island, New York which is the populated island in the USA 🇺🇸. It is home to a majority of New York Cities population & size. Cuba which is all governed by the country that shares the same name, Cuba 🇨🇺. Ceylon Island which is governed by Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. North Island or New Zealand 🇳🇿. Hainan Island part of China 🇨🇳, & Kyushu part of Japan 🇯🇵.
Hello from Salsette island. The only city among nation sized islands in the list :p
0:40 curious indeed, as the landmass area you state is due to the ice that covers & connects the archipelago hidden beneath a mile of ice. Without ice cover, the largest continuous landmass in the region would be significantly smaller, maybe even after thousands of years of rebounding from the weight of that ice.
Great content, you never disappoint. Even if you make some embarrassing mistakes sometimes. (Not today)
Don't even have to watch the video to know my home island is no 1. It's crazy to think that almost half of Indonesia's population lives in Java.
And now I live on the no 2 island. What a weird turn of event.
The most populated island I've ever been in is Galveston Island with 53,000 people.
Second most is Mustang Island with 29,000.
Third most is Cozumel with 21,000.
But I'd definitely like to visit more islands
nice video. greetings from the most populated island in the world
People may think, damn, Java is so dense. There's no room for tree, forest, or some quiet place.
But the fact is, there's still many of it. The density is worst though on the city. Just happened today, my trip from the office to home, around 25km, took almost 3 hours' drive 🤣
Live in Australia, spent almost a year on Java, been to Britain, and Sri Lanka (12th) and New Guinea (14th).
Next on the list soon hopefully are: Honshū, Kyushu, Borneo, Sumatra, Sulawesi, Taiwan, Hainan, Madagascar, and Cuba.
Be advised that Sumatra is a dry area and there is a ban on alcohol. If you are okay with it, just follow the local norms but if you're not, North Sumatra is the place for you as getting an alcohol is easy there. Visit Medan and its surrounding areas like Lake Toba and you won't regret it
I live in Australia, Visited Great Britain and always wanted to visit Honshu, hopefully someday
I have been to Java , Sumatra, Taiwan,Luzon, Great Britain, Australia.. About opening didn't building the Suez and Panama canal technically seperate the land masses?
Usually canals are rivers aren't considered.
I've only ever really been on two islands in my entire life. I've been to Galveston, Texas, which is on a barrier island, and I've been on Whidbey Island, Washington, which has no place to run in the event of a tsunami. For which they are due. The more you know.
I've also been on a sand bar in the middle of the Potomac, because for whatever reason, that's where one of DC's airports is. It's literally nothing more than a sand bar in the river. So you decide whether that counts.
From Iran
I have visited two amazing islands in Persian Gulf: Kish and Qeshm Islands
Kish is very modern island/city with beautiful malls and Beaches
Qeshm Island is the largest island in Persian Gulf and unlike Kish is mostly rural areas but it has great nature such as Hara jungle and Stars valley
Thanks for sharing Sanandaj:) 🇦🇺❤ 🇮🇷
@@NebraskaGonvilleJones actually Sanandaj is my hometown city not my actual name (but some other Kurdish cities like Mardin are also used for human name)
nice
I live on the island and country of Ireland 🇮🇪.
Traveled to Mindanao. Beautiful island and very friendly people.
i live in Australia 🇦🇺 would love to visit java 🇮🇩
The narrator wants to be thoughtful by claiming the afroeurasian landmass is the largest island, but it's not. Islands are different from continents. Geologists classify this landmass as three separate continents, but I'm not sure why it's three and not two with one having recently collided with the other larger one to the north.
bro imagine java and greenland comparing size and population
Population: greenland (56k+ population) is like 1kx more behind then java’s 150M
Size: java only’s about like 120k k2 while it only fits like 13 javas in greenland
I had no idea that Mumbai was on an island, so interesting
I’m living in Singapore, just 720 sq km in size, but with a population of 5.5 million
(Not so) fun fact: Java's population and the number of buildings and constructions it implies weigh so much that the island is literally sinking. That's why Indonesia is being forced to move its capital city to Borneo instead.
I have lived in java and Borneo respectively. I thought java population density is the norm for all over the world but man that is plain wrong
What if we were too dig a ditch across the north of Florida? A ditch of freedom, a ditch of hope.
Neither Afroeurasia, nor the connected continents of North and South America are islands. In addition, Australia isn’t an island. All of these areas are continents. The largest island on Earth is Greenland, which is located entirely on the North American continental plate.
Maldives capital city Male’ is more densely populated in any of this country’s in this list 🇲🇻
👋🏼😄🇵🇭 Hola o buenas, saludos, y buenas tardes desde aqui na Ciudad de Zamboanga, Peninsula de Zamboanga, Mindanao Occidental, Mindanao, Filipinas! (en dialecto, variedad, o variante de Chavacano de Zamboanga, Zamboangueño Chavacano, o Chavacano Zamboangueño)
Por un momento, pensaba que era castellano.
I also live on one of the island, the Number one Java
Imagine taking a shot everytime, he says: Squared....
Borneo is owned by 4 different countries, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Philippines with north sabah....
"The reason why Java is so populated is because it's in Indonesia"...
You could've told us the real physical reason about the island that makes such a big population, instead.
'The island has a lot of people because the country has a lot of people' doesn't tell us much.
@@WistfulAZ exactly xd
wrong, Indonesia has other bigger island yet they're less populated. It's because Java has many volcanoes. They provide mineral that make soil fertile. Fertile land causes massive crop, massive crop causes big civilization
@@grandebadidea7689 ...what exactly was wrong there? Thanks for the answer, but who are you disagreeing with?
I’m going to be visiting Java this year
Earlier Honshu was more populated than Java.
Yes, but that changed after the Sanghyang Sri-IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) rice seed project with the Philippines... Indonesia is the largest rice producer in ASEAN. The population of the city of Jakarta is supported by the surrounding cities and food is supplied by Karawang, Subang, Purwakarta (the largest rice producing region in ASEAN)...
...I live on Long Island
just East of New York City ...the most populated Island in the United States 🇺🇸 at about 8.5 million people
0:48 Technically not tur when you consider Villa Las Estrellas.
Well, if the narrator is such a smarty-pants, then he's already told us that the afroeurasian island possesses the greatest number of people: >7000 million.
Eurasia
I honestly didn't know that Mindanao has that many populations.
The population of mindanao is just 25 million people.
Mindanao looks kinda like tamriel
"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." - John Donne (1572 - 1631)
0:21 Doesn't the suez canal divide africa and asia?
after d suez canal is afrourasia really a island.
As a mumbaikar i even forgot sometimes i live in a island
I never know its an island
i still think the argument of australia being a continent is wrong, new ginnea is part of the same continent if so. and it also excludes new zealand, fiji and many other passicific island countries from beign part of anything.
I live in one of these islands
I'm from the Luzon Island, Republic of the Philippines 🇵🇭
No one fkng cares
australia is a country, its territory contains the entire continental mass of oceania. So it isn't an island
New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji etc etc
It is an island. It isn't big enough. The concept of reef and an elevated sea plateau considered as a submerged continent is so stupid I swear.
@@itaintalfot islands around the continental mass
@@TylerSolvestri where did I said that there is a submerged continent? By that logic, every continent is an island
I do live in the second largest island
Native Americans had referred to their region as " Turtle Island."
Australia includes Tasmania,,, Where is it? I would've loved to have seen the
Taiwan / Tasmania comparison.
Looks like they did it to Tazzie again 🤦♀
W, the narrator is counting something as an island that isn't anymore due to landfilling operations. Did his content creator even look at history books and a map to see that Salsette is now part of a peninsular region? Why doesn't he call the whole if India an island given this logic, because it was an island, but is not today due to peninsular formation with southern Asia? Quirky video.
Guess the Lemurs outnumbered the Emus
I live on an Island… Rhode Island… on the part attached to the mainland US, which is a part of the American island, but it’s in the name so yeah, it’s legit
since continents are ill defined and a rather redundant and not 1 on 1 corresponding way to class tectonic plates we might as well just discard the continent idea as "large landmasses surrounded by water" which as you correctly state already defines islands , even if we take the general continent idea then we note that they are somewhat defined by tectonic plates, as long as theres land on it in significant amounts and not to complex for feeble brains (ural mountain range, himilaya) , generally the interpretation is different, to me "oceania" is a continent not "australia", this is based on plate tectonics and more profound biogeology, issue here being that life and the planet is dynamic not fixed making the classification fun as classifications ever are, but redundant and useless, so yes might as well state in the very least that australia is an island (with several islands around it) , america not so much due to the panama canal (enter discussions if man made water ways count) same for euroasiaafrica with in the very least the seuz canal spliting africa from europe, at least for now since the east of africa will eventually crash into arabia and iran and the west of africa will crash into the european plate closing both the gulf of aden as the mediterenean , likely we will long be dead or have forgotten today at any rate but still, it will happen
He said whether you classify Australia as a continent or a country, . . ..
Didn't he mean to use the word island? Why did he say "country?"
Obviously Eurasian island.
Sri Lanka ?
, Greenland ?
Holy cow...Okay...Its pronounced Min-Din-Now = Mindanao
As well, Those apes from Borneo are pronounced: Oh-Rang-Gu-Tang
I like that you started by admitting that the idea of an island is a social construction. That being said, I've been to most of these places. Don't go to Java if you're an alcoholic like me, because it's largely Muslim. But the northern parts have good scuba diving. Honshu is nice but I'd recommend the less populated islands of Japan. Strangely I have been to Mindanao and never heard about the terrorism, but Cebu is probably a better destination in the Philippines. Skip out on Manila, it's a dump. I've been to Mumbai but I had to google that it's an island? It doesn't seem like one. Madagascar is the only one that really surprised me. Never been there, and I always thought it had a lower population.
Afroeurasia. Your always on an island. Just big
Borneo is also an ecological catastrophe, because of stripping of essential rainforest for coconut palm plantations and the concomitant loss of orangutan 🦧 habitat by the Indonesian government and private sector.
I live in
If Afroeurasia is a continent, than my ruler is has been extremely off every time I’ve measured
Mindanao is not that populated compared to luzon. Because there is no traffic here and mindanao have safe areas and some are not. Mindanao island is big and there are many places in mindanao that are not yet inhabited by the people. There is no huge traffic here compared to luzon philippines and java of indonesia that have many population.
12 seconds into a video on islands and he has already incorrectly given an example of an island 😬
The way he said Mindanao was very disappointing to me.. You would expect an American announcer to pronounce island names wrong but to hear an English announcer get it so badly wrong is depressing..
this video could have been so much more intresting without indonesia
I LIVE IN AFRURASIA💀💀💀
I live on Java
Without watching the video, the two obvious winners are Honshu (Japan) and Java (Indonesia).
No Sumatra is better.
Is it Java?
4th
bro 18,000 not 900.000
Not "The Americas", America...
We are only a tiny bit bigger than Taiwan and we're full🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺😮😮😮😮 but there is plenty of space in Taiwan🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼😊😊😊😊😊

Reneo stretches across three different countries. We'd rather say three different countries stretch across the island of Borneo. Backwards talking.

No.
Java might no longer be the most populated island soon. Since they are moving their capital to Borneo, as Jakarta is sinking into the ocean, millions of people will leave the island. That could potentially make Honshu the most populated within the next few years.
even if the whole Jakarta metro moves to the new Capital, it would be still number one. Also Jakarta will stay the economical heart after moving the capital, because all the industry is already there.
The new capital will boost the development of Borneo, but it will take time until it takes over Java.
How? Jakarta only has 11 million people and only North Jakarta that is prone to sinking. Jakarta was, is, and will always be the economic center of Indonesia. Plus Java has other cities, millions of others who live in other cities won't leave their homes for Borneo.
Experience shows that removing the capital so late in a country's history does little to reduce the population of that city. Abidjan, Dar es Salaam, Lagos, New York, Rio de Janeiro are all still way more populated than the cities or regions that succeeded them.
Meanwhile, we have to consider the context of Japan's shrinking population while Indonesia is still growing, and the logical conclusion would be that Java will retain its crown.
new capital is only for governmental purpose, not for economic and business🤦♀️
Its so sad that britian needs to call itself great.
I live here , it's shit!!!!
It's probably just because it's the biggest of the British islands.
