As a Brazilian, I can confirm Acre is random af, it's a meme around here that Acre is a mythical land with prehistoric creatures.

[@seinaumaluco]

O acre nem existe, pra começo de conversa

[@Tinil0]

Wow, googling "acre brazil" does show "acre brazil joke" as one of the top results, you weren't kidding. Actually, I was gonna ask how you even get in to Acre, but Rio Branco is a pretty dang legitimate city, damn. Over 400k, that doesn't feel mythical any more haha.

[@rogeriopenna9014]

​​@@Tinil0he northernmost point of Brazil is closer to all countries in the Americas, even Canada, than to the southernmost point of the country, in my state. It's something like 4100 km to Canada and 4200 km to the southernmost point

[@igorlinardic3903]

I like this kind of videos with random places. It's interesting and you learn something new. Cool!

[@roecatgaming]

7:11 that's a Caracal 7:37 it's Moai not Maui. Maui is an island in Hawaii

[@kellydonahue762]

It's also called Rapanui.

[@talon9639]

this series must continue as it is extremely interesting

[@David_McCoy]

Am I the only one who thinks Crocodile Island looks like a face in agony?

[@CertifiedFooclandExplainer]

Ye

[@jammerst1ck125]

wait yeah I see it too

[@Podaling]

not the only 1, i also see that!

[@3ekaust]

It does

[@concept5631]

No

[@kieronparr3403]

The hole man died last year

[@MFMAnimations]

Qeshm Island: It is largest Iranian Island in Persian Gulf, is very unique place because you find natural things that almost aren't found anywhere else, such as Hara jungle , stars valley and many more 😉 Also in nearby is Hormuz island which is called Rainbow island

[@Tinil0]

Not to steal the thunder from the Iranian islands in the area, but Socotra is also absolutely amazing so I am not surprised the other nearby islands in the Gulf and also incredible.

[@mikelopez9071]

Iran looks awesome, really unique culture and striking geology

[@DavidAsum]

Always love his videos

[@highbrass7563]

Love your videos Sir. Cheers from Hamilton, Ontario

[@Rain-jx1po]

5:42 why do people still refer to the native/indigenous people of North and South America as "Indians"?

[@katherinegilks3880]

Ignorance. They’re not Indians - they live half a world away from India. Also, the incredulity that the people of Rapa Nui could have made the statues. It’s one thing to be impressed by the statues. They’re meant to be impressive. But to be surprised that they could be made? The technology and materials existed at the time; as for the art, it is verging on racism to assume that the people of Rapa Nui couldn’t be such skilled artists.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

@@katherinegilks3880 They often refer to themselves as Indians as well.

[@swimrunmatt]

Cool video, but unfortunately the 'Man of the Hole' at 6:00, died in mid-2022. It's a really sad story.

[@berkajr3685]

Some cool random places there. Ironically, your number 10 - Rapa Nui, is an Island that I've actually visited :)

[@kalmah2112]

I have been to Devon Island and stayed one night there in a camp. Was incredibly awesome to be in such a remote and beautiful place.

[@StarstruckByLondon]

Taal Island on Lake Taal in the Philippines is my vote for most interesting geological feature on earth. It’s an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island!

[@Tevins668]

Crocodile Island is located on Lake Turkana, but the arrow on the thumbnail points to Lake Victoria.

[@Geo197Plus]

Very informative video. 👍👍

[@bugchamp7075]

great video but 7:11 caracals are not lynxes, common misconception because of the shared ear tufts. Also the concept of that guy in Acre being the last member of his tribe is very cool but terrifying

[@rgonghebalu342]

It would be a very special investigation of this way, I have never saw before, I am wandering how you eventually decide your next goal

[@JxH]

0:20 "...and we have the Gaspé Peninsula, viewed from orbit, that has been mysteriously presented as a mirror-image for no apparent reason..." 🙂

[@maggi_pi]

Was looking for interesting places on a trip by train from Europe through Asia to Taiwan. Found the Mountain and sea on the corean border from the first part of this video literally just two days ago.

[@xavierjuhala1041]

I’ve been to the first one!! I can confirm that it is indeed a really cool place!

[@yohaan9]

Very informative

[@cameronolson7651]

This video is phenomenal, however, please do not refer to indigenous inhabitants as "Indians"

[@IsabelJones69]

I learnt about Easter Island on a trip to a museum on Tenerife. I is indeed very fascinating

[@ThomasTuttle]

I would be eager to see a video about Saint Pierre et Miquelon.

[@nhjack9383]

Actually been to the Changbai Mountain and the heaven lake as a kid, it is called 长白山 and 天池 in Chinese.

[@YeeSoest]

Is the third character you put in Chinese the one for Mountain and is it the same in Japanese? I'm a total amateur, i just thought I recognized that character from somewhere and needed to verify

[@leonardofagundescioffi3778]

Greetings from Brazil !

[@jacksonfogo2]

Brazil mentioned!!!!!!

1:43 "Emulates"... Devon Island, where NASA plays Mars!

[@PresidentTreeze]

Video idea biggest inhabited land

[@Zhalghas-YZ]

Look at Kaindy Lake in Kazakhstan 🇰🇿.

[@kxmalahov]

thanks from Scottish highlands and a steppe of South in Krasnodar, Russia!!!

[@skeire1]

I found heaven lake randomly on Google earth once!

[@slipperynoodle3611]

Maui is an island in Hawaii. Moai are the head statues on Motu Nui (Easter Island)

[@sydhenderson6753]

The Aru Islands big claim to fame in the story of evolution is that Alfred Russel Wallace came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection during his stay there, independently of Darwin. Acre was originally part of Bolivia and seceded in 1899-1903 with three Republics of Acre in five years until Brazil annexed it.

[@noelrodriguez2396]

1:35 I know someone who's actually been to Devon island haha

[@scottbogfoot]

0:24 I loathe this backwards, mirrored image of new Brunswick/Quebec. It's in so many videos but nobody ever flips it round the right way lol

[@hisownfool1]

Thank you for being "very impressed" but as someone who grew up speaking Spanish at home, "Isla de Pascua" was kind of obvious.😀

[@katherinegilks3880]

Yes, even a lot of non-hispanophones could recognize it.

[@dudmic]

Movile Cave, a unique cave in the world

[@sham1903]

Scotland's Lake Lock Ness...

[@jaimerobayna2427]

'lake Loch Ness" 🤣

[@stefanhuber7357]

Unfortunately, the solo tribesman who lived in the forest by himself had past away recently

[@matthewrowell8518]

Yeah I have heard that as well. Mind you there has been other periods of time people thought he was dead but then they found him later. Very sad story he has. Just putting yourself in his shoes. Everyone you knew and loved is dead and everyone that interacts with him is normally out to kill him. Would be terrifying

[@TipeneThorner]

Isla de Paquire? Easter island is Rapa Nui

[@mysteriousDSF]

The underwater living system shown in the footage is a lot better explored than the moon, deep sea living system are not but they are far from being lush and rich and are actually rather sparse.

[@ibec69]

Lake Loch Ness is an example for RAS syndrome.

The "man of the hole" was found dead this past august

[@Nanoosh-dc2lt]

Yes unfortunately

[@pandorski35000]

En tant que français, j'ai été choqué quand je t'ai entendu dire que l'île de pâques faisait partie de la polynésie car pour moi, ce ne peut être que l'archipel de Tahiti qui mérite ce nom, puis mon cerveau a rebooté, et en effet, l'île de pâques forme une des pointes du triangle polynésien, qui comprend donc l'île de pâques à l'est, la nouzelle-zélande 7000km à l'ouest, et biensur Hawai 7000km au Nord, soit une superficie de 28 millions de km², l'archipel de polynésie française étant entre les deux premiers, il me reste à visiter Hawai, j'aime particulièrement la vibration de ces endroits de la planète.

[@noodengr3three825]

Maybe it is a British vs American use of the English language, but normally when using the term kilometers squared people are referring to area not distance.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

He is referring to area. But he should be saying: square kilometers. The two terms meanings are some what different.

[@antcramp]

1:27 ‘Ten Kilometres Squares’ is not something a human would say.

[@JWolfe-nq7nq]

Square kilometers do not have a distance. They have an area.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

He is referring to area.

[@mar10hals]

Man of the Hole died in July 2022...

[@ericofg]

At Isla de Pascua the monuments are called moais not mauis

[@likewisebro6213]

so going only by the information you've provided about the Aru islands, the 100 000 inhabitants must all be descendants of Dutch and Japanese settlers? Also not really an obscure location to those 100 000 people that live there. I kinda feel like you were looking on a map and saw a group of jungly-looking islands you didn't know about, pulled a couple facts from Wikipedia. But if you really found it fascinating wouldn't you delve a little bit deeper than the history of European contact?

Where TF is "Lake Loch Ness"? Is that similar to Lake Superior Lake?

[@whatUPitsJORDAN]

Drop some blankets for the uncontacted. They look cold.

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

Though you show various areas as: km^2, the correct way to READ that is "square kilometers" and not "kilometers squared". There is a difference. A SQUARE that has sides of length 10 km can be referred to as 10 kilometers squared. So since it is a square, and you measure one side, you can then say it is 10 kilometers (on the measured side) and then it is SQUARED! However, its AREA is 100 SQUARE kilometers!

[@jawi499]

FYI. Figuratively…not literally.

[@pablodmdp]

Not literally tho

[@unb3lievable]

South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands are pretty obscure. I like them because who the heck names an island “Sandwich”

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

The name “Sandwich” came before the handheld food item.

[@tianwang]

Unfortunately this place is known to most Chinese as its a famous tourist destination….

ain't no way bro said lake loch ness. its just loch ness, its what we call lakes so you're effectively saying lake lake ness

[@macarioreyes4387]

You make good videos, but it is sad that you still use de obsolete measure of "feet", which is used by a couple of ignorant nations, while the rest of the world uses the metric system. Since your videos are watched by people from all over the world, I recommend you use the metric system to refer to measures of things. If you still want to use de "feet" of some old english king as a measure, then do it, but also include the same measure in metric.

[@Snagprophet]

"Lake Loch Ness"

[@atharvjatale5918]

At 5:44 why are you calling those tribals as Indians

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

They often refer to themselves as Indians in the US and Canada.

[@T4N7]

... y did u call those undiscovered Brazilian tribes "indians" u realize we don't say that anymore since native American people aren't from India so it is kinda racist. Just so u know we also say Inuit instead of Eskimo since the former means "the people" in their own language n the latter means "foreigner" in 1 of the other native languages since the Inuit migrated to North America after the other natives

[@rickkwitkoski1976]

They often refer to themselves as Indians in the US and Canada.

[@cycklist]

"I'll be impressed if anyone understands basic Spanish". Really??

[@liberatedentrepreneur149]

Devon Island, eh ? Looks a lot like the moon landing 😘
