Most nations: "I want Antarctica just to have it"
Norway: "This place is nice, I might want to live here"

[mowu]

let's fund Grey so he can claim that wedge

As an Australian, love how Australia is holding a boomerang

[ThruThe]

Antarctica owns itself. It's a strong independent continent that don't need no man

[rasmusorskovhansen]

USA: There is oil in Antarctica? Guess they need some democracy too

[Beregorn]

"who owns Antarctica?"
Whoever is strong enough to substantiate their claims. As always.

[wizardshark]

“Is Antarctica independent?”

CGP Grey: “Yesn’t”

[WelloBello]

“France also claimed coastal explorations to the pole, followed by Norway, followed by *The Nazis* “

I love the way he said that.

[FLOABName]

well, 2040 is going to be a sad year for antarctica

[Bwabel]

In 3020: “ Who owns Saturn? (Bizarre borders part 4)”

[cameosix]

"There is oil under Antarctica"
America: Looks like those penguins need some freedom

Edit: Knowing the US, they will probably Lose

The "leave nothing behind" rule also applies to tourists, who are told when they take a trip off their cruise ship to go walk on the icy land that they are not to leave anything, not even hair. Apparently cruise ship companies can be very alert to tourists traveling with other companies just in case they break that rule so one company can be taken out of the tourist running. I got this info from a friend of my mum's who took a cruise that stopped off at the Antarctican peninsula.

Fun fact: there are 3.8 million Adélie penguin on Antarctica.

[benjaminnewington]

With all this tension, soon we'll have another COLD war.

Oil in Antarctica???


RIP Antarctica

The expression of the USA and USSR changes when he says "no nuclear exploding" and that's so hilarious 😂 (1:56)

[harrymkwii]

Oil on Antarctica? Better go blame the Penguins' for Weapons of Mass Destruction.

[genevieve]

"...no military, no mining, and NO nuclear exploding."
*US and USSR glare at each other*

[devilhex]

News Headlines in 2040 : We have just received information that Penguins in Antarctica are building weapons of Mass Destruction. So we are declaring a war on Antarctica.

[saucymgee]

I find it funny that the only reason this hasn't gotten out of hand is that because Antarctica is basically unlivable
