What On Earth Is Bermuda?

My future home country

It's a pimple in the mid atlantic.

Bermuda is one of the warmest places on Earth for its high latitude of 32.4°N. Its climate is so unusually warm that even tropical coconut palms grow and produce fruit there. This remarkable warmth is primarily due to its location in the path of the Gulf Stream, which brings warm ocean currents directly to the island.

Having sailed from va to the Caribbean many times i always got nervous close to Miami😂

Burmuda various connects to Michael Douglas, the actor, that’s where his mother came from. That’s where he used to have property, and that is why he has dual American and British citizenship?

Bermuda is beautiful. If you like snorkeling, Bermuda is the place to go. They have both tropical and northern species of sea life, and soft corals. Winter weather is generally on the mid sixties to low seventies. It's fairly expensive to visit. Most of the food is imported and hotels are pricey. We prefer to stay in guest houses (B&Bs). I prefer the water on the north facing beaches. It tends to be crystal clear, and emerald green in color.

I visited forty years ago and got around in a moped. The speed limit was 20 mph so very safe. You can traverse the entire island in one hour.

Very cool place

Nice place to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there

Bermuda is weird. No rivers, all water is from rain. Being from Jamaica, the land of wood and water, being there was weird as heck.

I feel like Bermuda would probably be one of the safest places to be if nuclear war broke out

I have a coworker from Bermuda, that accent is real. 😅

I hate to break it to you but Bermuda doesn’t have pink sand anymore thanks to years of tourists taking home pink sand as a souvenir. They it took nature 10,000 years to create the pink sand and only 50yrs for humans to destroy it.

Do they not have any local agriculture or manufacturing so that they don’t have to import everything?

My country...live here love here

An island.

I was expecting at least some description of the earth's surface features that created Bermuda but there was nothing. Human activity is included in the definition of geography but it usually includes what's happening with the earths crust. Is Bermuda formed by volcanoes, tectonic plate interaction or what?

Bermuda is my favorite vacation location and have spent a lot of time there. It can be pricy, but if you get rental house and use public transportation, it’s quite affordable to have a very nice vacation.

I wouldn't want to live around a bunch of rich people. I prefer nature.

I've been there many times. In the early 90s law permitted one car per household; a few years later, the law changed to permit one car per licensed driver - which changed the vibe and traffic on Bermuda. In recent visits, it was still a beautiful place.

i spent 5 days there once.
it was nice lodging and produce is expensive.

So basically Bermuda is still run by Purates . 🤔

my uncle got a house in bermuda i wanna go this summer

Bermuda was originally part of Virginia in colonial days. Served as a midway stopping point for cross ocean voyages.

The closest US point to Bermuda is Nantucket Island.

My ancestor, Thomas Hurd, did a complete hydrographic survey of the waters surrounding Bermuda.

What were the original people there? Europeans or the Slave Market trade ?
Is it mostly Caucasian or like the Bahamas?

My country is mad expensive, be prepared to spend 😂

That’s our old 10$ bill sir 😂😂😂

Need to be loaded to go there

Bermuda has my ideal climate

It's a tiny C -shaped island on the same latitude at Charleston SC. Pack your wallet and enjoy!

Nice video. A good video suggestion for History Matters: "Why didn't Bermuda join the American Revolution"?

We lose 900 tankers a year - the ocean is dangerous

Went to Bermuda last year. It is beautiful and the people are polite and helpful. It truly is a small country of its own. They have their own currency, national identity, Olympic team, government. And every single person will tell you how much they love their country Bermuda. 🇧🇲

Wow I had no idea it was so close to NC I thought it was literally next to the Bahamas…

As someone who lives in Bermuda. I'll have to tell my bank account that I'm supposed to be rich.😂

I live in Bermuda feel free to ask any questions

Does Bermuda have an airport?

beautiful place but, those winters are not for me.

Bermuda Triangle has no more mysterious disappearances than any other similar sized region with similar air and marine traffic.

Bermuda is beautiful but not mysterious by any means. It's very expensive, not really much to do there, the island for all intents and purposes is completely built up, driving is a bit sketchy because of narrow two lane roads often without shoulders plus full of blind spots. It's boring because its main black residents don't have much money and therefore religion is their main source of entertainment. Most places close by 6 PM, restaurants close by 8 or 9. Few bars are open later. You can drive from one end of the island to the other in a bit over half hour.

Yeah the English inbreed monarchs still lay claim to this land. They should separate and make it their own country

I’m sure America would help them lay Providence to their own land

We need to stop the ownership as countries that are far away it’s not the 1400’s anymore

Statisticaly the region has no higher incidence of shipwrecks or missing aircraft than anywhere else.

Nope can't spend my hard earn money to live on a dressed up sand bank I need tsunami protection

Oh, Bermuda, another future 🇺🇸 American state

Based on the research I have read, the Bermuda Triangle is not statistically different to any other similarity traversed stretch of ocean in terms of accidents or strange phenomena. Its reputation has been built from unverified urban legends and selective data picking. There is simply nothing unusual about this area. One source even claimed it is statistically safer to fly or boat across it than most ocean areas of the world.

Great nutshell video. Everything i needed to know

Very interesting, going for our first time in July
