As of January 2024, the United States grew by about 400,000 square miles of territory or larger than the state of Texas. This was done under a little known United Nations policy called the Extended Continental Shelf. So why has the United States grown so much, what do they plan to do with all their new territory, and why would the country want to much land if it's all underwater anyways?

It’s amazing to me that there’s absolutely no news coverage on this at all

That's pretty significant - I was just reading up on this and didn't realize Canada did much of this a decade ago. I knew we have the largest coastline in the world, but...dang. 😲

Quick correction. Norway has opened for commercial exploration for deep sea mining. With the possibility to mine any discoveries. Open mining is still not fully legal, yet. No mining has taken place as of February 2024.

We should call the underwater territories the state of Atlantis

I'm pretty sure Canada is working on mapping the Arctic Ocean floor in a similar way for the purpose of making a claim on the North Pole. That will probably be bigger news when it happens. Russia would have wanted to have a competing claim, but they're a little busy with being a global pariah so. I guess they miss out. Denmark via Greenland is the other competitor for North Pole supremacy. But yeah, this is pretty cool too. Hope we get some good stuff out of it.

Taught me about an international policy i didnt know anything about. Hit all the common questions i can think of. 8/10, needs less clickbait title, or a a little bit better pacing/rehashing.

How do you know drilling for oil in that arctic region would be “devastating” to the environment?
