Hey Caelan! I just found out about your Atlas Pro work and watched the Antarctica video. Amazing! Such good work! I can say I'm so proud of you because I'm your 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Huntington. (Now Nolte). Good for you and keep it up! So much information put together in terrific, succinct package. I'm a subscriber now! And I learned so much about Antarctica!

[@ricpeden7499]

DobHD we would know if we SEARCH HER HEAD

[@letryhqrd]

@@dobhd8320 The fact that he liked her post with a heart probably proves she isn't lying. smh

[@CerealsForDinner]

Awesome video dude! Usually, small channels have somewhat shitty animations. For some reason, while watching your video (I have just discovered your channel), I could have sworn that you have over 1M subscribers. What I'm trying to say is, if your videos are so cool now, I can't wait to see them at 1M :D.

[@AtlasPro1]

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed :) Hopefully we'll get there some day!

[@hiren_bhatt]

@@AtlasPro1 Finally! ... After 3.5 years of you posting the above comment, your channel has crossed the 1Million Subscriber mark! Congratulations!!

[@sohopedeco]

I would never have imagined the Ursa Major was not called "Great Bear" in English.

[@rodrigonogueiramota4433]

because of a Brazilian beer also called Antartica and it´s also good with ice

[@FTLNewsFeed]

Gave you a like for using Antidisestablishmentarianism in a sentence.

[@aaaaaabbbbbbccccccd1]

"...lasted 12 years from 1550 to 1567." 3:47

BRUH

[@minhtue32]

Found your channel today and I have to say your content is superb and very well done. Love the storytelling style!!

[@mbear1639]

Sorry to be commenting on all your videos (they're so good!) but I am compelled to comment on this one. Finally ...someone who understands Latin/Greek etymologies. Its a clue to my Mbear1 name and why i chose it. (Hint: Follow the Latin)

[@AtlasPro1]

Glad you like them so much! The more comments the better :)

[@mangofoalix]

Woah, this video has only 5.3k views? Dude! This channel is amazing! I love geography, so this channel is a goldmine for me.

[@marcelogranja]

Brazilian schools still teach about Antarctic France. It was on Rio de Janeiro region

[@TheZenytram]

eu nunca aprendi isso na escola ñ

[@Anjalena]

4:20 -- Looks like they put that original name on THIS map! "Terres Australes"

[@Minarchiste]

Pôle Austral

[@ilurk5444]

Just binge watching right from the oldest. I'm here now after four days!

[@The_NSeven]

Your channel is so good, I'm glad I found this channel!

[@ahotdj07]

I do like these series. Thank you.

[@khoshnoorshoily2117]

hey there, i've become your fan watching these videos. these r helping me a lot, as i'm a student of Geography & Environment .... i just started to follow you. A reguler learner from BANGLADESH..... literally, enjoying the learning.

[@ncrvako]

thruth be told, you don't see many bears in Antarctica.

[@DarkSkull322x]

I love your videos! Their are rich in knowledge!

[@TheVetein]

Omg Man. I'm really impressed on your research about when the French colonized Brazil. Actually they built their villages here in the city I live, Rio de Janeiro. And I studied these events on my history classes, about French Antarctica, not everyone has forgotten. Great vídeo Man!

[@AtarahDerek]

2:27 - Or, antipode. Which is what Antarctica means; the antipode (opposite side or, literally, foot) of the arctic.

[@nahuel3256]

dude! your videos are class!

[@eliletts5158]

Very interesting history!

[@vectorc]

For the names of the peninsula, google for 'belgica antarctic expedition'. The first scientific expedition to Antarctica and a trainingground for both Scott and Amundsen.

[@golden_smaug]

Awsome video! Is it true that it once was covered in woods? I think I saw a documentary where it had dinosaurus and all the stuff xd

[@AtlasPro1]

A looooooong long time ago, yes. I talk about it a little in a video of mine about azolla, but there was a time when virtually the whole Earth was covered in jungle (around the eocene epoch), and Antarctica was further north due to plate tectonics. We're finding fossils all the time in exposed rocks there, and there are even expected coal and oil deposits, hinting at tremendous amounts of life existing to extended periods of time there.

[@DaveTarg]

There are marsupial fossils that have been found on the Antarctic peninsula. During the period of Pangea when there was one big land mass, marsupials very gradually migrated from the Americas across Antarctica and into Australia.

[@lolikumadesbear1999]

What a mind blowing fact. In the arctics are polar bears to be found. Antarctica, the land opposite of the bears and coincidentally there are no polar bears, just penguins.

[@cruzada07]

do a series How this country got it's name all of them

[@fasttraqtv]

Antidisestablishmentarianism🔥😂 a like for that

[@DaveTexas]

Very cool video! Pun only partially intended… "Antidisestablishmentarianism" is a word that doesn’t get used nearly enough, so bravo for working it in!

[@yunan9610]

So the opposite of the bear.... Is the penguins

[@BlackJar72]

I can't get over how much his voice sounds like the Minecraft KZbinr asianhalfsquat.

[@pavan-kalwane.7493]

I am daily watching your video's

[@cg0825]

In school I used to wonder why there was Antarctica but no Arctica

[@stevenwheat2286]

Antarctica is a giant ass wall that surrounds this flat earth.

[@noneofyourbusiness6269]

barely 200 years ago nobody ever knew antarctica was a thing

[@TRODD12321]

Not discussing the antipodes was maybe a trick missed.

[@SirZeu]

i know this video is old now but you should do a series on how region and/or countries got their names

[@kingace6186]

Without even watching.... "Ant" or "Anti" means "not" or "the opposite". And "Arctic" was the name given to the northern ocean. So the opposite of the Arctic Ocean is the Antarctic (or Antiarctic) Ocean. The only problem is, at the time, there were a lot more frozen lands and gigantic glaciers than a massive ocean.

[@jasonjarnet8141]

To be grammatically correct, it is "France Antartique" meaning antartic france, the word "Français" wich means french is used to discribe the people of france and their language (but you already knew that) our langue is very complicated I know (I'm not frend but french-Canadian) and I understand how hard it can be to speak from an english point of view ;)3

[@sion8]

I was going to say that can't be right, but then I checked. Why is it, then, _Polynésie française_ but _France antarctique?_ I speak Spanish, so this is very interesting to me.

[@degrees-xg7og]

Please make a video on how Pakistan got its name. Loved your videos by the way!

[@justanotheryoutubeaddict4147]

nice

[@-hobbit-9481]

Antarctica was found years before we "found it" with documented world maps almost as accurate as ours today

[@racheltaylor6269]

Where was Tartarus? 🙏🇬🇧

[@eduardovaldivia5572]

What about Zealandia?

[@sion8]

Although I don't think of it as a continent, Zealandia was named after New Zealand.

[@OvAppolyon]

You get a like just for using the Song of the Volga Boatman :D

[@skuwashi4865]

Ants lived there duh... 😤, thats why its called ANTartica

[@wolfgangBuonarotti]

antipasto

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

Uhhh no, Arctos does not mean North in old greek. That would be "Borealis" (from Boreas, the god of the Northerly wind, bringing coldth down to the South). Land of the Bear is the stretch before the outermost north (Borealis /Hyperborea and Thule have been connected to Scandinavia) or even may be equal with the roman "Skythia" that is European Russia, Belarus and Ukraine...

[@georgehaveles8511]

arktos in ancient greek meant bear.

[@imagiraffe8686]

Γιωργος Χαβελες that’s what he said in the video though

[@imagiraffe8686]

Γιωργος Χαβελες sorry, didn’t see your reply

[@sion8]

While _Βορέας_ is Greek, _borealis_ is the nominative singular form in Latin. However, those words are so ancient that they could have changed meaning, just look at Austria coming from the same root as Australia, but at the time it meant east, but it evolved into meaning south as it is used nowadays. So that could be a possibility?🤷‍♂️ The other Latin word for north is _septentrionalis,_ which means seven plough-oxen in reference to seven of the brightest stars of Ursa Major.

[@anaswasfisabir]

Or if its too little, maybe about the origins of middle eastern countries names

[@anaswasfisabir]

Can you make a video about the origin of the name iraq?

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

The best continent.

[@kateford3853]

How come the maps have change can we relie on new one's by Google

[@hereisyoursign6750]

Google uses satellites to create the map, ignoring political boundries, the geography of Google maps should be spot on accurate. Remember mapmakers in the past did not have access to airplanes or sattilites, and the further back you go the less far you could reasonably travel, meaning less descriptive/accurate maps, or rather maps get better as time goes forward

[@Bacopa68]

How can there really be flat earthers when people as far back as Aristotle knew Earth was at least roughly spherical? Plato taught Earth was a rough sphere. All this talk about the balance of continents mostly came from the physics of Aristotle that assumed a roughly spherical Earth. Even earlier, Herodotus taught that the earth was a sphere and that once you got past what we now call the Sahara there would likely be climate zones similar to Europe and North Africa. Persians knew this too, but from a land based perspective, which involves a lot more trigonometry.

[@dynagaming1343]

Oh ... I used to think that Antarctica got its name due to it being the only continent without ants. As Antarctica is like the arctic for ants

[@mrshiruthseyoum5521]

Name of “Antarctica “ was “Toe-Ronn-Toess” before the Greeks re-names it Antarctica. They probably reversed the word to fit their pronunciation and existing letters in their alphabet. Check book of Enoch which speaks of “black hole” and Toe-Ronn-Toess. I used the letter “ T” for lack of better fit - close letter but the actual letter has a click which the letter doesn’t exist in Greek, Latin or English letters.

[@josh_da_boss_hello4571]

Arctos doesn’t mean north it means bear

[@AlucardDrac]

Well with Global Warming effecting the Artic we may need to change the names to North and South Antarctic

[@funndude3389]

It's because it's in the Antarctic Boom just saved u 5 minutes
