I'm 18 miles North of Whitby. The coastline up here is lovely. When the storm tides wash sand away, it reveals a prehistoric forest that is preserved by the sand and water. It's what used to stretch from here to Norway

Not boring at all, very interesting 😊.

I am old and sit around next to the water. Can recommend it.

I love when you zoomed in on that woman’s salad 😂🥗 This was such an interesting video! It’s nice when you pause to Google things or check a place yourself on a map.

Not just wind power being built. There's an experiment between Orkney and mainland Scotland trying to harness the immense tidal forces that go between the atlantic and north sea. If it proves reliable and scalable that's a huge amount of predictable energy.

Slartibardfast would be very disappointed... ;(

I live in the East Midlands but I was once married to a Scot. The first time we visited (the East Coast) the wind was like nothing I had ever experienced. It was January and it felt like it could take the skin off your face!

Bloody Google maps, that poor woman couldn't even eat her salad in peace 😂 Fascinating video though, thanks for sharing

I was expecting it to be rather boring, but it was far from it. I found it fascinating! For most people I think we don't spend much time thinking about the North Sea other than just acknowledging that it's there. Occasional news reports of some disaster or other bring it to mind, but this video demonstrated its historic importance to a whole new level. Thanks JJ!

The North Sea coast of the UK is one of the fastest eroding coasts in the world with towns and villages collapsing into the sea as cliffs collapse. The Hornsea wind farm is enormous with them visible from shore. The blades are made locally and are 75 to 125m in length. A whole new industry has sprung up around this.

LOL HAHA “Mud Flaps”… when a grandma wipes in reverse 😂😂😂😂

The North Sea in a UK/British Isles perspective is in/on the Eastern coast. France can be seen on a clear day from the south of England looking over the English Channel or Le Manche as the French call it. The English Channel is the busiest shipping lane in the world with over 500 ships a day passing through the Straights of Dover.

Yeah the north sea is rough, my dad was on a cargo boat once that was hit by wave that was so large that the whole boat was under water for like 5 seconeds, they lost all their life rafts and had to make an emergancey stop in Norway. Also love your nozey google map street veiw content 😂

Don't you remember the Norwegian Blue parrot "pining for the fjords"?

Can you imagine that some people actually swim across the channel from England to France? That's a video you need to watch.

My dad used to work on the oil rigs there. I have a stunning Peter Brook painting of the North Sea, love it. I have great family photos of all my family neR Thurso at the very top of the UK a fantastic beach and very hot ( we all got sun burn but we are Scottish so naturaly blue or red My dad regularly sailed tall ships accross the North Sea.

Apart from Doggerland*, we (the UK), lost the Heligoland archipelago too ! It was once Dutch, but became the possession of the UK (from 1807 to 1890). Britain ruled it because of it's important naval position, especially because it protected 'activity' from any French 'aggression', but then we gave it to Germany... It then became a place for writers, artists and many Bohemian types to frequent. One of the least visited places in Europe, but strangely a great place to visit for a quiet break! I'm in London and have had several 'weekends away"' there. Nothing to do, but relax and eat. 😊 *You might want to 'search' Dogger Bank archaeology.... Because it's SO shallow in comparison to anywhere else in the North Sea and was the main connection between the UK and Europe, it is proving to be a treasure trove of artifacts. 😊

I worked on a project to build an oil rig in the North Sea (only and IT person!) but it was very interesting. Mostly it is built in sections off site and installed when there are breaks in the weather.

Not boring at all. It was interesting hearing all the names i hear on the shipping forecast . . yes i need to get out more lolls

"I want to sit around water all day" Every fisher(wo)man watching just shouted "exactly"

The Hanseatic League (HL) is mentioned in this video and I think the majority of people in the UK are not aware of it!? Yet it is STILL around after 400 years (now called Hansa). The three main Engliish ports that earned money through this economic trade route were London, Boston and King's Lynn. KL still has an historical Hanseatic League 'merchants house'. The HL was the biggest trading route in Europe, selling goods between England, Denmark, Germany, Russia and all over Europe. Long before the EEC, it was VERY important to Lincolnshire (the Boston port), because their woollen cloth trade relied on it massively. It cannot be stressed how important the HL was. German and English traders shipped goods with protection from piracy across the North Sea for hundreds of years. Please DO search out the HL and Hansa, it might just 'blow your mind' about this (mainly) 13th to 17th century alliance! 😊

I found that interesting - I didn't know about Dogger Bank and I'm British. I do know that on the BBC Shipping forecast, Dogger is one of the areas (please listen to a BBC Shipping forcast - it's in shorthand for mariners but is a piece of British heritage).

Fun fact: the approximate northwest of the Netherlands is slowly sinking into the North Sea, because of movements in the earth that were started by the massive glacier covering that part in the last ice age.

Parts of doggerbank are very shallow, and two teams play cricket on it

Many mammoth tusks have been found by fishermen on the Dogger Bank, not only tusks but evidence of human life living on rich, fertile plains. Later there was that Storegga Slide incident, yep, that was a bad thang.

All the nerds like me in the quaking comments waiting for the video to mention Doggerland. The lost continent and home to the worst humanitarian disaster nearly 100,000 years ago.

Watch out for the "100 year" waves, which are actually a lot more frequent than that.

Of course it was Slartybartfast who designed the fjords

I live directly opposite dogger land and there's already loads of windy mills there

"What is a woman that you forsake her And the hearth-fire and the home acre To go with rhe old grey Widow-maker" The North Sea, lovely but deadly.

Wow, that was really interesting. Thanks.

In clear weather , Britain can be seen from France but only at the narrowest point (Dover -Calais)

Someone is gonna make that ‘‘What are y'all gonna do with that oil?....’’ into a meme and rightly so! I pissed my pants mate! 😅Grtz from the eastcoast of the North Sea!

Fascinating video. I didn't know most of this.

I live on the N. E coast. Moving on. What a voice.

As a Brit…It feels weird seeing the North Sea being described as gorgeous 😂

I live in Seaham which is in north east England right next to the north sea.

UK has the world’s top four highest output offshore wind farms

My favourite representation of the North Sea are the Four Sea Interludes from Benjamin Britten's opera Peter Grimes - set on the coast of Suffolk and modelled on Britten's residence in Aldeburgh. They illustrate with music its beauty, serenity and ferocity kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jLqUZcSJsbqlaGg.html Enjoy it!

Not boring at all. Lots of different types of North Sea facts.

Not boring at all better than meme videos by a long way. You should look at the tsunami that wiped out doggerland 10000 years ago

It was the ice that melted which was over Norway that became the North sea saying the rise of the sea is not a exact fact , the ice crashed and started to melt as the North was nothing but ice . Thank you to Norway wew have the North sea and our bounderies hip hip .

Dogger Bank counts Stan Collymore its first account holder😂😂

Living next to the North Sea can be nice in the Summer months, but come the winter it can be hell. Especially when you are made to do cross-country runs along the shore in Gail Force winds while being pelted by hail and Salty spray as the waves crash on the beach.

I think Noway has the longest sea borders on Earth because of its many many islands

France doesn't really extend far enough north to the North Sea. It's the Channel (in French - la Manche) and I have never heard or seen anything about a "North Sea" in their language. It's only - la Manche, l'Atlantique, and la Med. (the three seas which surround their country). The word "Nordzee" you'll see everywhere in the low countries, so it's safe to say that the North Sea starts with Belgium and runs north. How far north it goes, I'm not sure (that's a bit out of my zone). But the West of Scotland is the Atlantic, and the sea between UK and Ireland is the Irish Sea.

I live in Harwich north Essex and I was swimming in the North Sea at the weekend

Norway invested their oil money, and only spend the interest. UK spent everything as it came out of the oil wells….result - Norway is incredibly rich, UK is scratching around for money

0.42 Duncansby stacks. far north east Scotland. a bit out of the way for most but you see them in movies all the time. the Mandalorian had a scene set here. not far from me by Highlands standards. i used to live in Shetland. last time i lived there you could see Norway from the hill behind the croft. no details just mountains and the associated clouds. you see a lot of red Dutch clay roof tiles on the East cast of Scotland because herring trawlers would sell catch in Holland then buy tiles as ballast for the return journey, cheaply. they sold them when they got home

7:39 it's not iran here!

It's cold. Very cold. Always. All you need to know... Ho-hum.

Im at Flamborough and a sea fret as just come in so good bye sum

Slatrbartfast did a good job on the fjords

I can see it from my window

Dutchy here. The gas in Groningen is actually causing increasing issues. Earthquakes have become more common.

The loss of Doggerland was a devastating natural disaster in ancient times.

Lol American asks about oil 😂😂😂😂 loved that

The Romans could NOT see the UK's White Cliffs from Rome or any part of Italy! 🤪🤣

No mention of Doggerland?

Did I hear that right, that you did say "Dutch" several times when talking about Germany? If yes, be aware: "Dutch" is the Englisch word for "Nederlandse/from Netherlands" (and also for most Dutch peoples main language "Nederlandse taal"). German in German is "Deutsch" and also the main/general German language is called "Deutsch/deutsche Sprache" in German. But in Dutch, German would be called "Duits". Got it? 😂

Can you reac to blink-182 music videos

Not boring. Though the narrator's pronunciation of some words was ----- interesting.

OK how many people thought 'Doggerland' was a theme park for people who like sex in car parks?😁🤣🤣🤣

2.8kth

Are mud flaps the same as pish flaps 😂

I live there. God's green and pleasant land..and sea.

bro its like florida but could and wet, we let people be people this side of the pond

U should look up dogger bank, and the natural disaster that destroyed it

Ye wonder what T Rex tastes like

Doggerbank is being turned into an offshore windfarm and it's land point is right through my village😢

3088th

Not one mention of Scotland or Aberdeen Concerning the oil industry A strange video

Nothing compared to the southwest but its fine

They're not homosexuals 🤦‍♀️ they're probably friends/family. I live near Skegness, but I prefer Winthrope. Anglican Water has polluted our sea. I grew up in London, my nearest beach was Brighton (it was pebbly beach) & now I'm in Lincolnshire (the beach is sandy) now make sense of that

An interesting video, Pity that the commentator was using an American accent.

Dreadful narrator that just has to be AI or someone very robotic!

Just a friendly word in your ear... I don't mind you doing a bit of showy-offy with your mug. Fair enough. But if you're going to slurp, I'm hitting the "unsubscribe" button so fast it'll make your head spin. This video became 100% unwatchable because you slurped.
