Fun fact: All of Antarctica's coasts are Northern, and the central is Southern
-
The channel is Atlas Pro, but Caelan is the Atlas Bro
-
In a move that surprises everyone, Marie Byrd Island ends up claimed by the Principality of Sealand.
-
They need to stop dividing Antarctica like a cake. It has mountains and whatever, make some real borders people come on
-
That guy naming a frozen desert after his wife though... lol Edit: yeah lol it's not a "dessert"
-
Johnny Harris reference was so cool. I can imagine him explaining - How USA stole New Antarctic Land.. 😂
-
Before: reveals his face Everyone: Yeah, that makes sense Now: reveals his name Everyone: Yeah, that makes sense

On the subject of mining in Antarctica, it's already happened. Way back in the early 1950s before the treaty was signed, one of the Australian bases had an outstation in the Prince Charles Mountains. They used to have roaring bonfires by chipping away at an exposed coal deposit and then lighting the coal with petrol. Then mining got banned and the Australians in the PCMs had to use more boring heating methods.

"All the land on earth has been taken" But what if you make more land *Dutch peoples eyes start glowing red*
-
I think we can all agree that the greatest sin would be dividing this great continent via polar coordinates! I want to see a breakdown where you attempt to use meaningful geographical features to create borders, like you did with the US state borders video.
-
Alternative Scenario: America discovers Oil and finds secret WMDs and liberates the Emperor Penguins into Democracy Penguins
-
minor correction: There is permanent population in antartica. Two civilian towns exist, one argentinean and another chilean. Both have around 100-200 citizens, many are scientists but many others are just normal people. There is even a school
-
A popular and eccentric billionaire? Scrooge McDuck is real??
-
Caelan sounds too complicated. I will call you Dave.
-
Caelan: “Call me whatever you want” Me: okay Mr. Whatever You Want
-
the dude named it after his wife? that's so adorable
-
One thing I learned from this video: Everything Atlas Pro says is not speculation, it actually happened.
-
Of all the channels I sub to, you’re one of the few that is able to crank out consistently good, unique and interesting videos. I dunno how you’re doing it, but great work & keep at it Atlas Bro
-
Funny how we figured out that there is a planet after Saturn, being Uranus ofcourse. Well before we figured out and discovered the most southern continent Antarctica.
-
' it doesn't matter coz I will be dead'. That is scary logic, do not let this dude rule any land.
