Find out more in this video! • —————— • Notes • • Note [1] — I would like to say that a lot of these dates and measurements are probably off by a bit. Different sources give different dates and measurements, so I took the data that seemed to make the most sense. • • Note [2] — The Wikipedia articles for many of these islands are ridiculously full of inconsistencies. I deliberately avoided using information found on Wikipedia just because it's so inconsistent. • —————— • Image credits • North Pole: By Matti amp;Keti - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index....
