One fact that surprised me when you said it, but makes sense when I think about it: there is nothing larger than bacteria living at the South Pole (and of course the humans visiting). The penguins and skuas and everything else stay near the coast, nothing ventures far inland.

[@BrandonHanson]

Honorable mentions. 1.) Antarctica has its own Ocean. It is called the Southern Ocean. Also known as the Antarctica Ocean. 2.) You can fly over both locations in a day if you wish to. Qantas Airlines flies out of Australia (Sydney, New South Wales and Brisbane, Queensland) on selected dates during their Summer Months. Their boarding passes will say secret gate when you get them printed out after checking in. You can also fly over the North Pole from Newark, New Jersey and/or New York City, New York Airport to Hong Kong if no tribulation issues. They are the cheapest options as you can look out the window and watch the map on your television in the seat, you're sitting in to know you're flying over the locations. On a side note, you have someone dressed up as a penguin if you fly with Qantas since you will not see any flying over Antarctica.

[@sfothowner6718]

The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Northern Hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface. It is called the True North Pole to distinguish from the Magnetic North Pole. The North Pole is by definition the northernmost point on the Earth, lying antipodally to the South Pole. It defines geodetic latitude 90° North, as well as the direction of true north. At the North Pole all directions point south; all lines of longitude converge there, so its longitude can be defined as any degree value. No time zone has been assigned to the North Pole, so any time can be used as the local time. Along tight latitude circles, counterclockwise is east and clockwise is west. The North Pole is at the center of the Northern Hemisphere. The nearest land is usually said to be Kaffeklubben Island, off the northern coast of Greenland about 700 km (430 mi) away, though some perhaps semi-permanent gravel banks lie slightly closer. The nearest permanently inhabited place is Alert in the Qikiqtaaluk Region, Nunavut, Canada, which is located 817 km (508 mi) from the Pole. While the South Pole lies on a continental land mass, the North Pole is located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean amid waters that are almost permanently covered with constantly shifting sea ice. The sea depth at the North Pole has been measured at 4,261 m (13,980 ft) by the Russian Mir submersible in 2007[1] and at 4,087 m (13,409 ft) by USS Nautilus in 1958.[2][3] This makes it impractical to construct a permanent station at the North Pole (unlike the South Pole). However, the Soviet Union, and later Russia, constructed a number of manned drifting stations on a generally annual basis since 1937, some of which have passed over or very close to the Pole. Since 2002, a group of Russians have also annually established a private base, Barneo, close to the Pole. This operates for a few weeks during early spring. Studies in the 2000s predicted that the North Pole may become seasonally ice-free because of Arctic ice shrinkage, with timescales varying from 2016[4][5] to the late 21st century or later. Attempts to reach the North Pole began in the late 19th century, with the record for "Farthest North" being surpassed on numerous occasions. The first undisputed expedition to reach the North Pole was that of the airship Norge, which overflew the area in 1926 with 16 men on board, including expedition leader Roald Amundsen. Three prior expeditions - led by Frederick Cook (1908, land), Robert Peary (1909, land) and Richard E. Byrd (1926, aerial) - were once also accepted as having reached the Pole. However, in each case later analysis of expedition data has cast doubt upon the accuracy of their claims.

[@DanielCZipin]

Good content here! Can you do a video comparing the US East Coast and West Coast? Thanks, Mr Beat. Merry Christmas

[@heronimousbrapson863]

The picture at 5:49 isn't at the north pole; it's at the "pole of inaccessibility" in Antarctica. It's the location the furthest inland on the continent. The Soviets set up a small station in the 1950's (I believe) there and erected a bust of Lenin, which is still there.

[@SiVlog1989]

Merry Christmas Matt, hope you and your family had a good Christmas in the circumstances. I'll never forget the first time I heard that Antarctica (and hence the South Pole) was a landmass and the Arctic isn't (well, not at the North Pole anyway). It was from former Monty Python actor Michael Palin's travel documentary "Pole to Pole." Recorded in 1991, it is a time warp if ever there was one (but more on that in a bit). His plan was to (no surprise) was to travel from the North Pole to the South Pole. His route was determined by the aspiration to use the 30° East line of longitude where possible (the one with the greatest landmass) and where logistically possible to minimise the use of aircraft. (Spoilers) apart from difficulties encountered enroute like being held up at the border between Egypt and Sudan, breaking his ribs having completed a run of White Water Rafting and trying and failing to find a spot for himself and the film crew on the only sailing between Cape Town, South Africa to Antarctica, he was eventually able to complete the journey. He was able to complete the journey through the use of Adventure Network, when he went from the tip of Africa to the tip of South America, in Punta Arenas, Chile. As I mentioned already, it was filmed in 1991 and the route he took took him to countries that (as of 2020) no longer exist or didn't exist back then. The first was when he travelled by ferry from the Finnish capital city, Helsinki, across the Baltic Sea to Talin (in modern day Estonia) in what was at the time the Soviet Union (in fact, months after they left the Soviet Union, it fell apart). Later, in Africa, he was travelling through Sudan, some 20 years before Sudan was split into 2 countries. Also in Africa, the year he was there, a ceasefire was declared in the war between Ethiopia and Eritrean rebels (as they were referred to at the time) and it was 2 years before Eritrea became independent from Ethiopia in 1993. There was also something politically significant about his time in South Africa. Even though Appartheid was still going on there, it was clear that it was on the way out and by 1994, that was the case with Nelson Mandela being elected South Africa's first Black president

Just Curious. At 0:54 you said that the "relative to the Sun, the tilt direction changes". What does it mean? On the video, the tilt direction doesn't seem to change. Do you mean that at some point, it is tilted away from the Sun, and in different times it is tilted towards the Sun? I hope I misunderstood, otherwise, imagine what kind of Earth's motion that would create. I am sure we would have noticed that one. I know Earth is not a boat, but wow, all that speed and tilting, and motion, and we just walking around shielded away form all of those great changes taking place. Fascinating. It's like riding on a roller coaster, but also being completely oblivious to the fact that you are in motion. Just Fascinating.
