Transcripts
this right here is the UK it may not
look like much right now but at one
point this 250,000 square kilometer area
of land control approximately 25% of the
world including the likes of India
Australia and South Africa
a British overseas territory is an area
that while not part of the UK is owned
by the UK and is thus subject to the
same jurisdiction there are to this day
only 14 territories that remain under
the ownership and legislation of the UK
most of these places come with their own
unique quirks that makes them
interesting and we are going to go over
them one by one
[Music]
the first pass of this journey starts at
the island of Cyprus although this is an
independent nation there is something
pretty interesting about it
it is divided up across the middle of
the island there is a buffer zone
separating the Turkish and the Greek
sides but here's the thing right now we
are only interested in two regions and
these two regions make up the first
territory Akrotiri and Dhekelia Akrotiri
makes up the western region with the
cleanest borders and the territory
capital Epis kopi cantonment lying to
the west
Daqi lea sits at the eastern side and
the borders are a tad messy to say the
very least this place does not exist
without the reason as it serves the
purpose of being a British military base
with over half of the population being
bakes there as either military personnel
or family of military personnel while
the remaining 7,500 of the 15,000 500
people being ethnic Cypriots next we
take a jump about nine thousand three
hundred kilometers to the Caribbean
where we will find our next place on
this list that's being angular a smaller
island territory of about fifteen
thousand people located not far north of
st. Kitts and Nevis and just east of
both the British and US Virgin Islands
the capital names the valley sits almost
directly in the center of the island
generally speaking the region is a
tourist hotspot taking full advantage of
its physical geography of being located
in the Caribbean with a typical scenery
you would associate with a Caribbean
islands the most significant recent
event that occurred here is the passing
of Hurricane Emma which also later
desecrated Puerto Rico in Florida the
largest export of this island and
subsequently the largest portion of the
income is from the sale of alcoholic
beverages comprising 21% of the economy
the economic standing is not bad
although it isn't fantastic
either with the GDP per capita being
8800 u.s. dollars per person which puts
it roughly in line with Brazil and
Russia so what makes this place stand
out not much really the region typically
remains obscure and not really talked
about and nothing really major has
happened to set this place apart to sum
it up it is an island in the Caribbean
with pretty much what you would expect
from a Caribbean islands which in turn
makes it a considerable tourist
destination if you plan to take a
holiday heading further north we come
across Bermuda and yes I do mean that
Bermuda located approximately 1400
kilometers east of South Carolina
whether you believe the conspiracies
behind it is totally up to you
however let me just explain the general
premise of the conspiracies the Bermuda
Triangle is a very loosely defined
region in the North Atlantic Ocean
there's straddles Miami the u.s.
territory of Puerto Rico and of course
the aforementioned Bermuda within this
region there have been claims of planes
and ships disappearing with no
explanation of where they went people
have attempted to formulate numerous
explanations as to why this is happening
but to no avail if you are interested
there are plentiful videos elsewhere
explaining it's more in-depth but if we
look beyond the Bermuda Triangle stories
what is so special biases well it is the
most populated British overseas
territory at 65,000 people population
which is closely followed by the Cayman
Islands the economy in proportion to the
population is extremely good with the
GDP per capita being most recently
published at 85,000 dollars per person
in 2013 this peaked at 93 thousand in
2008 inherently with statistics like
that accommodation in general living
costs are extremely high with a simple
apartment costing 5,000 just to rent
otherwise if you can afford to pay these
expenses
this place is pretty much a paradise the
British Antarctic Territory is by far
the largest and least populated out of
all of them which effectively takes a
piece of slice like shape from
Antarctica the chunk claims includes the
Antarctic Peninsula which is based
directly south of Argentina while Sur is
not a permanent population the area is
extensively used for scientific research
with an estimated 250 scientists working
in the region at a given time the rather
a research station is the most
noteworthy one being based on the
Antarctic Peninsula at approximately 67
degrees south making it just about
within the Antarctic Circle as for the
climates you had expected to be cold all
year round and in saying that you would
be totally correct the coldest month
that's the rather a Research Station is
July averaging at negative 11 point 6
degrees Celsius and the warmest month is
January as barely above freezing or 0.8
degrees Celsius as previously mentioned
this is by far the largest piece of
territory making up approximately 1.7
million square kilometers or between the
sizes of Libya and Iran which are
respectively 16th and 17th place the
Indian Ocean Territory is probably one
of the more obscure ones as this one is
pretty much exclusively military and it
comes with a tad bit of controversy the
territory consists of the Chagos
archipelago with quite a large portion
of the land being atolls not rising far
above sea level altogether land only
makes up 0.1 1% of the area or just over
60 square kilometers the reason this
territory is slightly controversial is
due to the force depopulation of the
island natives in 1966 the various
islands were leased to the UK and the
natives were located to nearby island
nations such as Mauritius and the
Seychelles as you would imagine the
legality of this move has been put into
question numerous times with the
Islanders assessing their right to
return to Diego Garcia
speaking of race the British Indian
Ocean Territory is one of the only two
to drive on the rates the other one
being Gibraltar who drives on that side
to align with most of mainland Europe
although there is not a definitive
reason as to why the Indian Ocean
Territory drives on that particular site
given that the UK drives on the left
there is also a little reason for there
to even be roads in the first place
given that most of the region is
consistent of tiny atolls that you can
walk across there is not really a
permanent population like the Antarctic
Territory although it is usually soft
with 2,500 military personnel jumping
back to the Caribbean now we're here
greeted with another tourist hot spots
the British Virgin Islands those place
comprises of over 60 islands the largest
one being Tortola which houses the
capital of Rotel collectively the
population is at around 28,000 which is
decently large for a territory obviously
being based just 18 degrees north from
the equator has a major perk
subjectively of course the climate is
always warm with VLE a verge
temperatures barely varying between
months the coldest is January with an
average of 26 degrees C and an average
low of 20 on the flip side the hottest
month is July or August with the average
highs of 31 and average lows of 23 seems
like yet another tropical paradise yes
the owner suffers from the complete
opposite yes I'm looking at you Britain
by Caribbean standards the islands are
very strong in terms of being able to
maintain low crime rates and keeping
their economy strong however the
distribution of said wealth is fairly
uneven a huge contributor to the
thriving economy of the Caribbean
islands in general is the tourism the
Virgin Islands are no different to this
with 45% of the income being generated
from this as the name would suggest
Richard Branson has had some part to
play in the territory although it isn't
anything too special he just lays claim
over two islands mosquito and sneaker
island both located just north of the
island of Virgin Gorda
if you haven't gotten the hint yet the
you cave really liked sticking flags
down in the Caribbean the next one is
absolutely no exception to that trend
the Cayman Islands is located between
Cuba and Honduras although it leans much
closer to Cuba there are three islands
Grand Cayman which is the fatter island
and the two small islands to the East
Little Cayman and Cayman Brac the vast
majority of the population obviously
live on the Grand Cayman which
unsurprisingly hosts the capsule of
Georgetown which is the same name as a
capsule of Guyana which was formerly
under the British rule I never knew my
own country were so trash at naming
things as previously mentioned this is
the second most populated British
territory by only a small margin
approximately 60,000 people live here
tourists usually come here due to the
fact that has a fantastic region for
scuba diving which includes the novelty
of swimming with stingrays especially in
the aptly named Stingray City one thing
that's really sets the Cayman Islands
from the rest of the Caribbean is the
fact that it has an extremely large
banking center which ranks fifth in the
world which for a population barely
larger than a town that's a pretty large
achievement 36% of the population is
employed into this sector which is a
major factor in making this sector as
powerful as it is the Human Development
Index in this area is also huge at a
score of 0.9 83 which surpasses the
highest ranked independent country
Norway so to sum it up the Cayman
Islands is a developmental Haven which
also seems to go very much unnoticed
compared to other highly developed
places
now we are beginning to move on to the
territories that I find extremely
interesting the chances are you have
heard of the Falkland Islands before an
archipelago located fairly far south of
the equator to the east of the
southernmost tip of Argentina there are
two main land masses with a number of
islets as a result of rugged and pretty
messy terrain the capital named Stanley
sits on the eastern coast of the
territory and is the residence of over
half of the population the Falkland
Islands are extremely sparse in
population with only 3,300 people being
based on the territory of over 12,000
square kilometers this makes a
population then this is he 0.275 people
per square kilometre there are two main
things this place is generally known for
the first thing is the fact that there
is more sheep than people by a
substantial amount with around five
hundred and seventy thousand sheep and
that is where they make a fair portion
of their economy as would be safe to
assume of course over 80 percent of the
land mass is used for agriculture as the
population density is virtually next to
nothing the climate is pretty miserable
and similar to that of the UK which is
probably why they decided to settle
there in the first place
winters generally dip to around 0
degrees Celsius while summers usually
barely make its above 14 degrees with
the highest recorded temperature being
only 24 degrees Celsius so yeah
definitely not somewhere I would want to
live the second thing that the Falklands
are known for is a dispute between the
UK and Argentina over it to put it
simply in 1982 both Argentina in the UK
wanted the islands to themselves and as
a result there was a conflict between
the two nations the conflict lasted
about ten weeks and about 650
Argentinians 250 British and free
Falkland Islanders dies during that time
period to this day the region remains
under the role of the UK although
Argentina is still a tad salty over it's
believing it's rightfully theirs
the next territories undoubtedly my
favorite out of all of them Gibraltar is
a 6.8 square kilometer peninsula on the
southern tip of Spain at the Strait of
Gibraltar the area is characterized by a
large 400 foot rock overlooking the area
the only settlement is crowding the base
of says Rock approximately 34,000 people
live here which makes the population
density close to that of London or 5,000
people per square kilometre making it
the single most densely populated
territory in the world so how did such a
small chunk of land end up in British
hands well sir put it simply in 1704 the
region was captured by Anglo Dutch
forces in the war of the Spanish
Succession and nine years after the
region was ceded to Britain the rock was
also used as a military base during
World War two in which the population of
Gibraltar were temporarily evacuated
many of whom being sent to Morocco the
region is Pressy importance due to
having a vantage point over the Strait
of Gibraltar it has a watch over exactly
what enters into the Mediterranean Sea
the entry point is so thin that you can
see the coast of Morocco on the other
side with the gap only measuring 21
kilometers there has been dispute from
Spain during the recent years with
claims that it is attached to Spain and
the SAS is their land
however the Gibraltarians strongly
disagree a referendum was held as to
whether the Gibraltarians wanted to
reign british or identifies Spanish and
the results were absolutely astounding
17900 people voted to remain British
while a new 187 people wanted the
territory to become Spanish or 1.03
percent however the brexit vote left
Gibraltar in a confusing place unsure of
what will happen after the UK officially
leaves the EU in 2019 however more is
leaning of them remaining British as
being ceded back to Spain would only
hurts them economically not to mention
the people professor remain British by
an absolutely overwhelming margin
apparently I have to mention the victory
Salem in Gibraltar which can hold 2,000
people otherwise I'll be a huge
disappointment to flax so I guess I'm no
longer a disappointment while I'm on the
topic when they check the reviews for
the stadium there are a few one-star
reviews with the additional remark of
Gibraltar espanol see ya a Spanish
minority really aren't letting this
slang go are they also one final fact
Gibraltar is the only place in the whole
of Europe that has monkeys the Barbary
macaques these things whilst being
adorable are also simultaneously
notorious for stealing from the bags of
locals and tourists if you ever plans
visit Gibraltar keep your bag zipped at
all times unless she wants your shiny
new Galaxy s8 in the hands of a monkey
and then subsequently smashed into
pieces by being drops off the side of
the rock once again the journey heads
back to the Caribbean to a very small
island known as Montserrat located right
between st. Kitts and Nevis and the
French territory of Guadeloupe the
island is characterized by an active
volcano in the south and the old capsule
of Plymouth also sits at the southwest
the population is currently just under
5,000 but it was much higher beforehand
as around 12,000 the eruption of the
sufer Hills volcano in 1995 caused a
mass evacuation mostly to the UK the
aforementioned previous capsule of
Montserrat was directly in the
destructive path of the volcano's
eruption and as a result the entire town
was submerged in volcanic ash of which
19 people died from the current de facto
capital is at the town of braids in the
Northwest as it took this title in 1997
after Plymouth was completely abandoned
currently a new capsule is being
constructed going by the name of little
Bay located further north of braids and
of course further away from the
exclusion zone which engulfs the south
of the island you could actually view
the destruction of the old capital from
the Garibaldi Hill Inn Isles bay however
visitors are usually not permitted to
cross
glutens own for obvious reasons of
course the volcano is still active and
it is the most of serve volcano in the
world most observance is done from the
Montserrat's volcano observatory the
Pacific Ocean is home to a range of
interesting places including Hawaii
Micronesia Easter Island and the 11th
territory the Pitcairn Islands which is
undoubtedly one of the most isolated
places on earth the Pitcairn Islands are
located 5,000 kilometers northeast of
New Zealand and roughly 25 degrees south
of the Equator and when I say this place
is isolated I really do mean that it's
isolated they consist of three islands a
larger Henderson Island the tiny Ueno
Island and the one in between called
Pitcairn Islands
both Henderson and Ueno islands are
uninhabited and as a results the only
settlement here is on the Pitcairn
Island Adams town is home to the entire
population of just 50 people recently
the island has been attempting to pull
in some migration to increase the
population to little success marketing
the fact that the island now has Wi-Fi
of which there is an article claiming
that it has doubles to only 512 kilobits
per second across 48 users their focal
point in their government website is
immigration
with a full list of fa Q's most of this
desperation for immigration to the
island is in the hope that the
population can be bolstered slightly
higher as it is currently decreasing
from migration to other countries from
the Pitcairn Island itself however one
big thing likely stifled any chances of
getting people to migrate to the islands
in the foreseeable future and that is a
huge underlying rape culture that was
discovered in 2004 when seven men or in
other words a third of the male
population were convicted of rape and
sexual assault
this included the current mayor of the
islands Sean Christian and his father
Steve Christian the problem with the
island is that every single person on
there is assigned a particular job to
keep everything running
every person on the island is
responsible for building the houses and
general infrastructure as a results
these men still had to continue with
their given jobs and this of 2009 only
one of these men remained in the islands
prison which the seven men all
contributed to build the rest of them
remain under home detention status when
they are not working the residents aim
to put that reputation far behind them
in order to attract tourism migration
which has stated numerous times on PDF
documents found on the official Pitkin
Island websites the island has one shop
which is open a mere three times a week
and electricity which is only on between
specific times due to outdated
electricity generators there is a very
interesting history behind this Island
as it was colonized by mutineers from
the HMS Bounty
who stranded themselves and destroyed
the ship of which the wreckage can still
be seen from bounty Bay on the far
eastern side the population reached a
high point in 1937 at 233 people however
that number felt over the years due to
the aforementioned migration away from
the islands mostly to New Zealand and
Australia Henderson Island is one of the
largest waste deposits in the world
where they're being reportedly 38
million pieces of trash washed up on the
beaches which roughly totals to over 17
tons of pure waste this includes a likes
of plastic figure heads and bags some of
the local crabs have even started to use
empty beauty product containers as
shells and no I'm not even joking when I
say that
on the other side of South America there
is another incredibly isolated place
although it leans much closer to Africa
st. Helena Ascension and Tristan da
Cunha is not only a mouthful to say but
this is also a territory 1,900
kilometers west of Angola there are
three separate regions to this territory
saint helena is the middle islands and
the closest ones for the African
mainland and not only is it the most
populated but it has by far the most
residents of the territory being base
here and it is thus regarded as the main
island and of course this is where the
capsule Jamestown lays Ascension Island
is located 1,300 kilometres northwest
with the main town being named
Georgetown it's not like we haven't
heard that name before and finally the
last of the free regions and by far the
most isolated is Tristan da Cunha an
extremely remote archipelago with the
main settlement being located on the
largest islands Edinburgh of the seven
seas if you can tell already this
territory's full of mouthful names the
settlement only has a population of 268
people making its isolation comparable
to the previously mentioned Pitcairn
Islands Tristan da Cunha embraces how
remote they are even having a sign at
the main ports with the words welcome to
the remotest islands with a few pictures
online of tourists taking photos next to
this sign where they commonly shared
please look on their face that they
managed to somehow make it to Tristan da
Cunha the journey takes 18 days of
sailing from Cape Town South Africa so
it certainly isn't the easiest place to
get to as there is not a single airstrip
in sight
much like Montserrat's they too have a
volcano right at the centre which is
also active the volcano erupts in 1961
and was mere meters away from touching
the village the climates are vary
between islands ascension is the houses
due to being only seven degrees south of
the equator with the weather being
virtually the same all year round with
very little seasonal variation on the
other hands Tristan da Cunha only
succeeds 20 degrees Celsius during the
summer and shows very mild seasonal
variation the climate is described as
oceanic or heavily dependent on the
ocean Ascension Island was occupied by
the British RAF during World War two
during the Battle of the Atlantic this
airfield is still operated both by the
USA and the UK the main islands Saint
Helena recently opened in airports and
finally had the first commercial flight
on October of last year despite the
Pitcairn Islands having a population of
just 50 it is not the territory of the
lowest population that title goes to
South Georgia and the South Sandwich
Islands with a population of just 30
this main island called South Georgia is
located far east and slightly further
south of the Falkland Islands with
rugged mountainous terrain all
settlements are typically scattered
around the northeastern coast with the
largest of these being grits vacant with
a population of only 20 or in other
words less than a typical secondary
school classroom this place comes
complete with a church a museum and a
whaling station which is by the way
pretty decrepit
the remainder of the population lives in
the king edward's point grits vacant
cemetery is the burial site of the
Explorer Ernest Shackleton and another
place at Taurus place photos with an
eager grin on their face
most people live here due to scientific
research with the King Edward point
research station being just down the
cove from grits vacant most of these
buildings in assessments are very Asian
rusted including ships that have been
used in decades and the aforementioned
whaling stations there are a few new
buildings in places that have been built
to look new and not as dilapidated such
as a church museum and a research
station on the side note if you go there
expect to see a ton of penguins and
seals
and that springs up to our final
territory of the video and that is the
Turks and Caicos Islands located just
above Haiti and the Dominican Republic
they consist of 40 coral islands that
almost never raise more than a few
metres above sea level the three biggest
islands are all connected by bridges
which are the North's middle and East
Caicos
however the capsule Cockburn town isn't
on any of those islands in this actually
on a small island to the southeast in
fact it takes up most of this island and
it consists of a church hospital prison
restaurants and of course and airports
the population is almost exactly the
subji browser which is 34,000 people for
whatever reason the Brits had an
affinity to nabbing Caribbean islands
and they make up a fair portion of this
video but that doesn't really make
France or the Netherlands any less
greedy with them either the islands are
extremely safe pretty much comparable to
Miami and New York in terms of safety
much like angular they market themselves
to be a typical Caribbean islands with
similarly not much success some of parts
and this is where the journey ends the
British overseas territories are some of
the most unique places on earth from the
isolation of the Pitcairn Islands in
Tristan da Cunha to the 400 foot Rock of
Gibraltar that overlooks the entryway to
the Mediterranean Sea in this video I
aim to show what sets each territory
apart and try to stray away from the
numerical data as that does not seem to
appeal much to most people hopefully you
like this video and if you did maybe
leave a like and subscribe for more and
if you wish you can even leave
suggestions for other videos to do in
the future there will most likely be two
upcoming travel videos one to dalaman in
Turkey and one to San Sebastian in Spain
so please stay tuned for those anyway
thank you so much for watching my first
geography video and goodbye
