First it was SONAR in space, now it's wind on the the Moon. I'm not convinced this is a serious science channel at all.

I never realized before that Antarctica was littered with perfectly preserved corpses of generations of penguins. Thanks

In the top ten least important things in WWII, 8 is the vending machine at pearl habor is restocked the day before the attack. My great grandfather bought a snickers bar for breakfast from that machine while between submarines when the attack started, and until the day he died he never remembered wether he eat it, shoved it in his pocket, threw it away, or what. It seemingly vanished, but he always remember buying it. My family often recalls this story but have never found anything about the snickers bar.

I feel like Jay's descent into madness can be measured by the ever-growing absurdity of the Map Men intro

I'm waiting for "Welcome to Map Men. We're the map, and here's the men."

Don't tell the advertisers, but this is the only channel on which I don't routinely skip the bit about the sponsor.

In Norway, John Scott is a footnote in the story about the much more clever and prepared Roald Amundsen.

I knew a guy who claimed to own Antarctica. To be fair, his name was Anthony Arctica and he did live in a chest freezer.

I love how they always theorised there was a hidden continent on the bottom of the earth and they were going to call it Australis but they couldn't find one so they assumed they never would and just gave the name to the closest thing to a hidden southern continent, which became Australia...

And then not long later by total coincidence they found the hidden southern continent.

When the ad segment is just as good as the rest of the video!

6:13 CORRECTION: The Antarctic Treaty does not have an expiration date. The Environmental Protocol to the Antarctic Treaty (or the Madrid Protocol) can be reviewed after 50 years of its adoption (in 1998), which is probably where you're getting the 2048 date from. However, both the Treaty and the Madrid Protocol are eternal.

"With no natives to get in the way"

When has that ever stopped colonizers from drawing their own borders?

I love the joke of how every time the camera cuts back to Mark, he's washing an increasingly absurd object

"The precious Antarctic Treaty will expire in 2048, which sounds like ages away but actually gets closer every five minutes."

Yep, that got me

Norway's claim actually does extend all the way to the south pole. On older maps it's only shown not to, because in the original wording of the claim the southern border was not explicitly defined. A few years ago Norway clarified that the claim actually extends all the way down to the pole. That "extension" was not a new claim, as that would have contradicted the Antarctic Treaty, but merely a clarification about the details of the original claim.
