Warming climate, lol.
fix the autogenerated caption please! it's in French
"The outside world is knocking--the question now is how Socotra will answer." Assuming they will never kick down the door.
Why is there no conflict with UAE then😊?!!!
Been there done that!
Stop trying to build leave it as is
No mention of St. Damien and all Christians did to help the people of Moloka’i survive and live? To be cared for and not forgotten, when no one else would? People love to rag on Christian missionaries from any denomination, but regardless of the good and bad done around the world, Hawaii as a whole is one example of the natives accepting Christianity peacefully and by free will and the effects of Christian believers to help advance and develop the Kingdom of Hawaii
It's so starkly beautiful.
Your explanation of the political situation isn’t accurate. It sounds like it was based more on Western media than the differing perspectives that exist within Yemen.
I looked up my Antipode and this is the closest place to where I would end up if I appeared on the opposite side of the world of where I am lol
Conspicuous gluttony is the history and current living of being human. Slaughter until extinction. This is grotesque! We are the monsters, everything else exist in neutrality naturally!
I'm soo sad there's no new videos on this channel! 😢
Was not expecting you here
Arab nation showcasing that they will always pillage and destroy stuff for profit
Saint Damien lived and died at Kalapapa...😢
People who think the earth is flat and Antarctica is an impassible ice wall should watch this.
My mom was raised here in the 70's and tells me stories all the time. Adaks "forest" is so small that the sign leading into it says "you are now entering and leaving Adaks National forest" :)
Christopher ginet is really handsome tbh
The second scientist is really handsome
COOL VIDEO
I don't care about the chef. You lost me with this slow start. Au revoir.
I think we let governments off too easy.... It's especially government policy deliberate or gross negligence that displaced and arguably destroyed an entire unique society of people. I'm not sure what the right word is but their inaction destroyed the outport and outport people.
Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. Yemen is not mine.
5:01 I didn't expect to hear about a Billy Mitchell on this video
I lived on Adak between '81 and '83 5th and 6th grade student. We lived on Salmon Circle in Robert's housing, which I believe is now leveled. Some things I remember: Playing at the dump. Staying out on the playground until 11 PM because there was still light. Sunshine liberty, when school closed so we could enjoy a 60-degree day in our shorts and t-shirts! Blizzards that shut down the roads for a couple of days. My sister being blown away exiting the Bering building after swimming lessons in the most chorine-laden pool I've ever been in. Baskin-Robins in the Bearing building. Playing hide and seek in foxholes left over from WWII...really hard to be found with the wind-swept tundra blowing over you. Herring fishing in Clam Lagoon - we always went late at night and my friend Barbara R. and I ate Tutti-Frutti drink mix in her dad's camper/pickup truck. Thousands of Sand Dollars. 4th of July fireworks over the Bering Sea wearing warm coats. Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles harassing pets, probably eating some. The time my dad and his fishing buddies were followed by a pod of killer whales (Mr. Swisher?) in their refurbished 16-foot (tiny) fishing boat. My mom learning to clean halibut he brought home. The best beer-batter fried halibut you can imaging. Finding the leavings of sailors in abandoned Quonset huts. Finger Bay. Traffic Circle. Salmon. Dolly Varden. Getting up at 3 AM to ride bikes to Traffic Circle with my sister to go fishing because the fishing is better at that hour (not sure who told us that...maybe it was a tide thing). A new school - Ann C. Steven's elementary was opened when I was there. Ike Isenhour, who ran the seismology station at the time, instilling a fascination with earthquakes to this day. Ms. M. Wilkins, my fifth grade and best teacher ever. Ms. Chainey, who was also a great teacher. Mr. G. Sawyer, who introduced us all to the synthesizer in band...because they were a big deal back then. Riding the bus home with rowdy marines. Bowling with mom and dad....the place was full of cigarette smoke and I kept score on paper score sheets. Sledding with all the kids in the neighborhood. Crab. Walking on catwalks alongside/underneath some very large piers and seeing the rainbow-colored Japanese Perch in the clear waters. The elephant cage where my dad worked. Looking at Mt. Sitka across the bay. Garbage flights. "AFARTS" radio. Watching the "droopy-wing" airplanes on the runway. Orientation and learning about hypothermia. Frequent earthquakes. Riding in the back of pickup trucks with the wind in our hair. The road rally/scavenger hunt. It was a great place to be a kid.
This guy reminds me of Sam from HAI. They should collab sometime
Very educational on history, but no mention of the Roman Catholic hero priest, Father Damien De Veuster --now Saint Damien due to his dedication for the sick and building much of the infrastructure not only on Kalaupapa but on the entire island of Molokai -- St. Philomena Church; St. Joseph Church; Our Lady of Sorrows Church; Saint Sophia church.
it's confusing cuz of the pronunciation of "aleutian" - but those (like me) who grew up in alaska know that they pronounce their tribal name "aleut" with 3 syllables - AL ee oot"
AHORA hay que tomarse la antartica no esperar mas , por derecho historico es chilena y punto , ademas los otros paises tienen muchos problemas tanto militar estrategico y economico para estar defendiendo soberania en el sur chileno , nosotros estamos mucho mas cerca de TODOS , es ahora o cagamos , asi de sencillo, hay que aprofechar el momento si no lo ven los militares y politicos chilenos se arrepenterian el resto de la vida acuerdence
location in chile not antartica
Sorry, I had to go at commyhommyha.
Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. This will never come true for them. This is the dream of the Arabs, Yemen and the Emirates together.
how does he make a video about something interesting so boring?
I think further settling of Antarctica is definitely possible as long as there's the political will to.
A couple of billion to repair and rehab Adak Naval Station is a drop in the bucket, compared to what we are absolutely WASTING around the world in other countries with ZERO return on investment. A way forward here is to allow real capitalization to proceed, without excessive government intervention and or restriction. This is how The West was won, and it can work on Adak too. Independence, self-sustainability, profit. The Arctic is opening up, and it's going to be huge! Another 26 Billion given to Israel to assist in genocidal actions against it's own people, another 61 Billion to Ukraine, to support a war, everyone knows will be won by Russia; another 17 Billion to Taiwan for military preparations to hang onto land which for 1000s of years was part of China. All these LOSER WASTES OF MONEY, but investment in American lands, American peoples, this goes unanswered and silent. The level of stupidity and shortsightedness of the American government today is staggering, wasteful, and sad. Good luck to those lone folks on Adak, they are what Americans used to be, and can be again.
They closed down the school :(
@6:00 stock footage shows russian flag flying upside down
I used to live there. My dad was in the navy and I lived there between 1989 and 1992. LOL, I lived there as a kid when the fire chief in this video was there. I saw that McDonalds get built. It was a big deal.
You forgot to mention the insanely huge cattle herds that roam adak😂
"One of the Italy’s Most Visited Places"... I doubt it's even in the top 100 most visited towns in Italy.
Tenemos un casino enjoy para los pingüinos ludopatas!....😂😂😂😂
A bit bizarre having a photo of a politician (ie divisive, transient) like macron up on the wall.
no, every mayor office in France have the the photo of The French President on the wall, and this guy representing the French Republic there, he have to dispose a photo of the French President in his office.
2:43 yeast and west
These Arabs becoming a problem The island is between somalia and yemen What's UAE doing there
Wondering why you used a picture of a fishing stage that is actually located 500km away from Little Bay Islands..... Harbour Drive, Dunville NL.
I bet the night view of the sky is amazing
these girls are porn stars too?
I visited my good buddy on Adak during July 2023. I loved it!! The beauty is just stunning. It is lonely but I enjoyed the peace and quiet. The locals are amazing network of people that care for the elderly and look out for other. Like we are supposed to be doing. ❤️
Unwatchable. Sorry .
I was station there 74-75. It was an experience.
