From bizarre animals, to geological structures, legends, and human developments… it’s time to take a tour of the 15 strangest islands on earth.

  • I can't believe there wasn't just one person who said 'Guys, you do realize how fast and often rabbits procreate, don't you?'
  • This channel is underrated. They actually did research on the contents instead of just saying anything that "baits" people to watch.
  • One of the more fascinating videos I have seen in a long time. Thanks!

    I live on a strange island at the bottom of the world it's called New Zealand ..
  • Good video. Not the typical cheesy clickbait of typical content creators, and full of good information. I give it a 10/10.

    The Flevopolder in the Netherlands, the biggest artificial island in the world. It's 970 square KM (374 square miles) and lies at an average of 5 meters (16 feet) below sealevel.

    We have some pretty umbeliveable islands here in Venice where nobody is used to go. This city count 118 islands but turists only see 3 of them.
  • Palmyra Atoll has the quirky distinction of being the last Incorporated territory of the US. All other US territories are unincorporated. Incorporated territories are considered integral parts of the US and the constitution would fully apply to the residents (if there were any). 31 states were formerly part of incorporated territories and Palmyra Atoll is the last remnant of these.
  • Big Major Cay is technically a part of the Black Point district of the Bahamas, which is sandwiched in between the islands that make up the Exuma district. Same chain of islands though. Either way, great and very informational video! I'm definitely adding Fadiouth to my bucket list
  • Pohnpei Island should be on the list. It has Nan Madol, that strange, centuries old city made from coral.
  • Its a pity that Cocos Island is not in this list. Its soooo beautiful and special
  • - I've seen COUNTLESS island videos && this has yet been THE BEST ONE !! You're the ONLY one who also mentioned the destruction of Palm Island as well. Thanks for that !! 🌴 🏝
  • Great Research done by the creator and this guys voice really makes the video. Especially when he explains Vulcan Point, that is an island, within a lake, in an island, that itself is within a lake, on an island...and in the Pacific Ocean...( known as a 3rd Order Island ) and omg that's crazy!
  • @TripLoose
    A window on the world! Very interesting and educational video! Great!
  • @sarge420
    Great vidoe with amazing views and information. Wizard Island in Oregon is small but historic.
  • @shapeoftimes
    The island with the dolls is really creepy! Cheers from Canada!

    It was apparently common for sailors to leave pigs and other livestock on islands with the intent of going back to them later and eating some of them.. even YEARS after they've been breeding.
