It would've been nice if you were CONSISTENT in defining extremes, like defining Mexico's, France's, or Denmark's extremes to their islands or territories but limiting Chile's and Australia's extremes to their mainland. These are definite distractors in watching more of your videos!

[@petrus9067]

This. It would have been better to make a video only for mainland territories and another video for combining the two lol. Like it's just so weird to consider greenland (huge) far away from (small) denmark but NOT consider cape horn in chile which would just be a couple extra hundred kms south of a pretty large country?? (Also southernmost point in all the non-antartica continents)

[@magicfaithdestiny]

Agreed. This feels so arbitrary, almost like an opinion post rather than an informative one.

[@michaelashley2855]

Not worth watching

[@DuckOfRubber]

Such inconsistencies are common on this and the other AI “documentary” channels plaguing KZbin these days. When the AI finds multiple datasets while “researching” it tends to either randomly choose one to present, or worse, it attempts to combine them but does so in ways that don’t make any sense, creating videos that are inconsistent and very often factually inaccurate.

[@jimgreen5788]

@dvongrad, since you didn't address this comment to The Geography Bible, it's very likely he'll never see it.

Fun fact: Brazil's northernmost point is closer to EVERY other country in the Americas, Canada included, than it is to its own southernmost point. Mind blown.

[@butler-macdonald8351]

That pin for Cape Spear is quite a way off; it looks like St. Anthony or L'Anse aux Meadows has been pinned - about 1000km by car from where Cape Spear actually is . Also, Cape Spear is not on St-Pierre et Miquelon, it's on the island of Newfoundland (Canadian province), 15km east of St. John's (capital city of Newfoundland & Labrador)

I know about Musandam (The bigger of the 2 Oman exclaves that you were talking about), but I don't understand how the northeasternmost point of the UAE is separated from it by Oman. The only exclave the UAE has is Nahwa which is neither the northernmost nor the southernmost point. I actually went to Musandam before.

I noticed a few mistakes in this video. 1. The easternmost point of mainland Chile is actually very far south nearby an Argentinian town called Monte Dinero. 2. The easternmost part of Greenland is not as far east as you think because you were looking at the 3d projection from a wrong angle. The easternmost part of Greenland is a little bit west of Ireland instead of being east of the UK. 3. The continent is called Oceania, not Oceana.

[@ToddMeyer-ii6ft]

Thank you! Came to make the same comment.

why do you say that chile's southernmost point is on its mainland yet you count islands as extremeties for other countries instead of their mainland?

[@macelowebster]

Shouldn't Chile's most Southern point be Cape Horn? 🤔

[@greeniebobeanie]

He said _mainland_ chile

[@CwMGameplays]

He restricted it to “mainland” Chile so technically no since that’s not attached by land. I still think it should’ve been included after the mainland bit was done, as well as the few Pacific islands it has. Same for the non-mainland bits of Australia and Norway. Especially since Norway has Bouvet Island and that’s a way more interesting geographical quirk than just finding the top part on a map.

[@j5v133]

I think he stuck to the very assumption of the continuous mainland Chile and thus didn't include Cape Horn. Because if were to include all territories, then Easter Island would be Chile's westernmost point.

[@greeniebobeanie]

@@CwMGameplaysNorway also has a large chunk of Antarctica

[@CwMGameplays]

I mean yeah but like all Antarctic claims, it’s disputed

[@juliansmith4295]

What on Earth happened at 7:05? Yes, the easternmost point of North America is Cape Spear, but... 1. Cape Spear is in Canada, not St. Pierre et Miquelon. 2. The marker thingy isn't pointing at Cape Spear, nor is it pointing at St. Pierre. It's pointing at the northern tip of Newfoundland. 3. St. Pierre et Miquelon is east of Mainland Canada, but it's southwest of Newfoundland. EDIT: You followed that up with "most westernmost" Yikes

[@ArnoldLokman]

In Wikipedia it's Cape Charles

[@X9Z17]

There is a land border between Victoria and Tasmania close to Tasmania; that would be a good bit of info to include, as it’s technically the most southern point of any mainland state, but Tasmania should be included, it is HUGE.

[@kristinelestrange2346]

You’re right

[@amandawatson6573]

To include Greenland for Denmark which is a whole other country, but not include Tasmania which is literally a state of Australia, as an Aussie, I’m disappointed

​@@amandawatson6573 greenland is not a whole other country. it is an autonomous territory that is absolutely part of denmark. i agree that he should've included tasmania if he was going to include greenland, but it's just straight up false to say that greenland is a country because it isn't.

You missed an irony at 14:00. The island off of Cancun that is Mexico's easternmost point is Isla Mujeres. The specific point on the Island, that is easternmost, is Punta Sur, or South Point. Similarly, Uruguay's southermost point is in (or an island off of) the region called Punta del Este, or East Point.

[@ptakafuji]

Brazil most eastern point is in the city of João Pessoa, not in Recife. Also, Pico da Neblina, Brazil's highest point is pretty close to the border wirh Venezuela, but it is entirely in Brazil.

[@lucindamakin1262]

Why would you exclude Tasmania and Australia's territories (Christmas Island, etc)? To include Greenland but exclude Tasmania was a weird choice. I was excited for a bit when you said 'mainland' as I thought you would include the island that Victoria and Tasmania share, but no. Oh well. I did enjoy the Perth fact though.

[@Lana-pf5ce]

Because this video sucks

[@klausolekristiansen2960]

When Kaffeklubben Ø was named, it was not known to be the most northern dry land on earth. It was named by an expedition from the Geographical Institute of the University of Copenhagen, which was mapping the north coast of Greenland. They named this insignificant island for the coffee club of the institute.

[@Luredreier]

8:45 Yet the narrowest point in Norway is just 8, 3 km wide. *Easily* walkable in one day if you're fit and the weather is good. Also, if you where to include our other territories...

[@petrus9067]

A fact most people don't know is (i'm considering mainlands of course) Brazil is the longest country north-south paralells. I belive the other ones after it are Chile and Russia

It's closer you arrive in canada from the northernmost place in brazil than arrive in the southernmost point.

[@alexthegamer8324]

7:08 it's on the Canadian island of Newfoundland

[@Dracopol]

5:19 Cape Froward is in the middle of the south end of Chile, so how can it be the southernmost point? There must be a point facing Antarctica you can find.

[@KolonE]

if there's going to be a third part, i think finland would be interesting since 2 of the extreme points are also the extreme points of the EU

[@prplt]

it's only the northernmost point that is an extreme point of the EU, the easternmost is marketed as the easternmost point of the EU but Cyprus is more east 😂 (and also Reunion)

[@mrcatfacecat]

why do so many people say that kiribati is the only country in all four hemispheres? don't they know france exists? edit: they also don't know the uk exists

[@petrus9067]

Because most people don't consider external territories when just talking about geography and for a good reason. You should specify when combining mainland + overseas, not the other way around.

[@craiglungren8703]

I had thought the border between Panama and Colombia would be the southernmost point of North America and the northernmost point of South America … but Cocos Island national park of Costa Rica turns out to be more southern than the southern border of Panama. I feel surprised because of that!

[@ronhubbardjr2624]

I noticed several mistakes in this video. You didn’t include the ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire, & Curaçao) which are constituent countries in the Kingdom of Denmark. One of these would be the southernmost and westernmost points. You referenced Continental Australia. There is a difference between the continent of Australia and the country of Australia. The continent of Australia also includes the island of New Guinea. You should clarify the difference between the continent and the country.

[@mikihertograz9794]

The ABC are not part of Denmark they are part of the Netherlands. Continent is a vague term that doesn't actually have a set meaning, it's very debatable whether New Guinea is part of the Australian continent. Either way, when one says "continental" part of a country it only refers to that country

[@chisank]

Confused why Newfoundland wasn’t counted

[@JxH]

I saw a tidbit that Greenland is further North, further South, further East, and further West than Iceland.

[@colinafobe2152]

it would be more interesting if photos of each extremities were included with short climatic or biodiversity, demographic or similar differences between these points. Also it would make more sense not to include Greenland as Denmark's extremity as it is usually considered Metropolitan Denmark when the country is discussed

[@noodengr3three825]

If Indonesia's western most point has a military base with barracks , doesnt that mean it is inhabited?

Geography Bible, how and when did Costa Rica end up being the southernmost country in Central America, and thus, North America, when Panama is south of it, and with the Darien Gap conveniently located between these 2 countries, in all my 76 years, I've it said that it's the dividing line. Your definition of "just north" is a bit broader than that of most people, in that Mt. Denali and Anchorage are separated by approx. 135 mi./217 km. In response to your offer, I have 3 places in the US which certainly qualify as weird border points. First off, heading east, is Pt. Roberts, WA, in that it’s necessary to drive through Canada in order to get to the rest of the US, due to a surveying mistake during the setting of the 49th parallel as the border between the US and Canada during the Oregon Treaty signing in 1846; located on the tip of a peninsula in Puget Sound north of Seattle. Second is Minnesota’s Angle Inlet--the sole town in the Northwest Angle--cut off from the rest of the state by Lake of the Woods, necessitating a drive through Manitoba to get to the rest of the country, due to a border misunderstanding during the writing of the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Finally, there’s Hyder (HIGH-dur) which is in the Panhandle, or Southeast, of Alaska, normally served by the State Ferry System, but being east of the Coast Mtns., it’s cut off, making a flight, or a 441mi./710km. drive through Canada on the Cassiar (CASS-ee-er), Alaska and Klondike Hwys. necessary to get to Skagway--the nearest other town in AK by road.
