Good to KnowThe North Pole in the Arctic and South Pole in Antarctica are very similar in their extreme climate and unpredictable weather but they are also quite different. Those differences arise from the geography of the areas where the poles are located as well as the Earth's orbit among other factors.
What is the north pole and why is it different from the south pole? What is the difference between the Arctic and Antarctica? Why is the Arctic Ocean warmer than Antarctica? Why are there no penguins in the Arctic? Why is the Arctic summer different from the Antarctic summer? How easy is it to get to get to the two poles and who did it first? What is an explorer's grand slam?

#shorts #Neptune #planets #solarsystem #learn #spaceDoes Earth Have a Second Moon?Good to Know2021-05-03 | Let me start by saying there are a few inaccuracies in this video which have been allowed to happen only for the sake of the visual presentation.
1) Cruithne is way smaller than the Moon and Earth. If I had shown it in its relative size to Earth, you wouldn't be able to see it on the screen. 2) The picture of Cruithne is an "approximation" of what it might look like. 3) Although it might appear like Cruithne's orbit is crossing the terrestrial planets' orbits, it actually doesn't as its orbit has a different tilt. In other words they won't collide. 4) Given the slight differences in the length of Cruithne and Earth's orbit duration, Cruithne's orbit actually moves ever so slightly with every cycle following a horseshoe shape pattern around the Earth. This was way to complex to describe in a short.

Disclaimer: A short video does not provide enough time to go into a lot of detail on the manoeuvres the spacecraft would have to do to get to a trajectory to Mars or what it has to do to get into Mars orbit. Also the optimal time to launch a spacecraft, given our current technology, would be before Earth and Mars are at their closest distance. In case you want to know more you can look up Hohmann transfer to Mars. The stated distances could vary subject to planetary orbital positions, external factors and type of technology used.

Over the last 100 years Corn has transformed the US agriculture sector. Today the Corn industry has become key for the processed food industry, beverage industry, livestock and even the energy sector of the country. This revolution was spurred by government intervention in the form of agricultural subsidies and import tariffs. This however has lead to some significant externalities and market failures.

Please support this channel by subscribing, liking and sharing this video!
During the 20th century most of the Aral Sea's water sources were diverted for irrigation of agriculture which in turn resulted in toxic runoffs causing pollution and damaging the sea's ecosystem. Eventually the Aral Sea dried out and the salt and chemicals dissolved in its water were carried out through out the region by dust storms. The Aral Sea was also used as a bio-weapon testing ground through a facility located on a large island. ----------------------------------- Donate to support me! paypal.com/paypalme/nikopav ----------------------------------- #Aralsea #aral_sea #arallake #aral_lake #aral Twitter - twitter.com/NikoPavBG ----- I have used Google Earth in parts of this video.The Amazon Rainforest - Origin and DestinyGood to Know2019-06-16 | Amazon Rainforest - what makes it so special?

The Amazon Rainforest occupies most of the 7m km^2 of the Amazon Basin which spans from the Atlantic in the east to the tree line in the Andes to the west. If that is not impressive enough, the Amazon forest represents over 50% of the planet’s remaining rainforests, comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, produces more than 20% of the world’s oxygen and is home of the second longest river on the Planet (Amazon River).

The Sahara (صحراء sahra') name itself means desert in Arabic. Life within the Sahara Desert borders is extremely tough given the dry climate, desolate landscape and amplitude in temperatures. Despite the challenging conditions however, people have managed to survive in the Sahara desert biome by utilising the desert's hidden treasures - aquifers. To understand why the Sahara Desert currently sits on vast amounts of underground water reservoirs, you need to know about how the desert cycle between humidity and aridity. Finally, Sahara Desert reach does not stop in Africa but stretches over oceans and continents. This is perhaps most visible in jungles of South (Amazon) and Central America.

We made our attempt to summit mount Elbrus in the summer of 2018 over the course of 5 days. Although it's not the tallest mountain in the world, climbing mount Elbrus can prove challenging. This video goes over the challenges that we experienced such as altitude sickness, poor weather conditions and battling with the elements. -----------------------------------
More details: Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe and Russia, and the tenth most prominent peak in the world. As such mount Elbrus is also one of the seven summits (highest mountains on each continent). A dormant volcano, mount Elbrus is located in the Caucasus Mountains in Southern Russia, near the border with Georgia. Mount Elbrus has two summits, both of which are dormant volcanic domes.
We took the south route with the lifts from Azau up to the Barrel huts. We also stayed in Priut 11 for 2 days before the summit attempt. We had a week to make it to the top of mount Elbrus with 3 days to spare for a summit attempt in case of bad weather or other issues. The video goes over, in detail, all days of our climb.

Exploring Morocco - Climbing Mount Toubkal (Atlas Mountains) description:
In November 2017 me an my friend took a seven day trip to North Africa to explore Morocco. Our first stop was mount Toubkal in the High Atlas Mountains. This video tells the story of our two day hike to the top of mount Toubkal. It should give you a good idea on what to expect when trekking in the Atlas mountains. Although we trekked and climbed Toubkal in November, the weather was not too cold and there was practically no snow.
When travelling in Morocco most people usually go to the tourist hot spots (Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat), missing out on the rugged beauty of the Moroccan country side and the majestic views of the Atlas Mountains. Having done it I can say that climbing Toubkal, and hiking in the Atlas Mountains was a great way to get a feel of what Morocco and the Berber way of life are truly like. It was definitely a great way to immerse yourself in the Moroccan culture and experience Morocco through a different perspective. After all travelling should be an adventure and if you travel morocco, what greater adventure is there than to spend two days in the Atlas, sleep under the starts and see the sunrise from the top of North Africa.

For those of you that don't know - Jebel Toubkal, Jbel Toubkal, Jabal Toubkal or Tubkal is a mountain peak in southwestern Morocco, located in the Toubkal National Park. At 4,167 metres (13,671 ft), it is the highest peak in the Atlas Mountains, Anti Atlas, North Africa and the Arab World. It is an ultra prominent peak located 63 km south of the city of Marrakesh, and is a popular destination for climbers.
For us the Toubkal climb was the first part of our "Travel Morocco" holiday. Having reached the top of the Atlas mountains, we then hiked all the way back to the base of mount Toubkal to Imlil. If you want to do the same it is crucial that you climb to the top in the early morning as you might run out of daylight before you reach the bottom. In the days following the climb we went for a road trip exploring the caravan routes, desert oasis, gorges and the Sahara desert itself. If you would like to see more of that you can subscribe to this channel as I would most likely be posting more videos from my Morocco Travel holidays in the future (editing is tough when you have a full time job).
You can let me know in the comments if you know of other mountains and treks in Africa worth exploring. I'm always up for trekking in Africa or hiking in Africa or any other type of Morocco adventure.
