Okay, I've got five different geography satellite
image-based quizzes of increasing difficulty.
And in this video we're gonna go through them all starting
with recognising countries at night.
And the first one is pretty easy.
There's a few countries in here
but I'm assuming the one they are after is Australia.
Doesn't that look pretty as well?
Okay. Next up we have got, it's a lot brighter.
That's gonna be the UK up here, isn't it?
So London's there.
And then this is gonna be France
so let's try France as the next one.
Oh, it's, it's accepted Belgium.
I guess I'll just name any country that's visible.
Oh, that's a lot harder to spot and recognise.
I think that is Cuba and Jamaica and those areas.
So yeah, there we go.
Cuba is accepted.
Oh, we've got one that shows the curvature of the earth.
And isn't that beautiful?
This is the shape of the River Nile.
And I know the population
of Egypt basically really closely follows it.
But just to show off
we're gonna say Saudi Arabia, which is neighbouring.
Oh, it's not accepted it.
This is Saudi Arabia, right?
Yeah. Is it not?
Oh no, it's actually a bit more of Egypt and Israel.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
Why did I try and complicate things?
We'll just stick with Egypt.
Next one.
Wow, is that legit?
Is that what it actually looks like? Nah, truly.
They've added that border.
Maybe not though.
I mean, it might literally be
because there's lighthouses all the way around or something.
Or is it just everyone living on the coast
but surely they don't live
on every single portion of the coast.
I don't know.
Either way. It is Iceland.
I think that is a slightly altered image.
Oh, we've got black and white for the next one.
I recognise that.
That is definitely India.
And coming up next, we've got Ireland.
Aren't they very pretty all of these satellite images?
And then, oh, that one I don't actually recognise.
I'm gonna have to skip ahead.
Oh wow.
Look at that. So that's Italy.
What an incredible angle that is.
That looks absolutely amazing.
And is that Sri Lanka, the teardrop of India?
I'm assuming so.
Yes it is.
This one's not an original satellite
but that is obviously the USA and then,
oh...
South Africa, maybe?
I'm gonna try it.
I don't know though.
Let's try. Oh yes.
Okay. This one we've got a helpful outline.
And then for some reason it says 2011
but I do not recognise it.
I'll kick myself.
I reckon I will.
Moving on, we've got Spain and Portugal.
So let's do Spain and then, well that's Japan
but there's an arrow.
Do I just ignore the arrow?
I'm guessing they've just sourced these images
from elsewhere.
So we will just put Japan.
Yeah, North Korea would also be accepted.
So we don't know that one.
And we don't know that one.
No worries. We'll give up.
Syria.
Yeah, I thought I recognised the outline.
And then the other one is Israel.
Okay, so that means that Egypt's over here.
Yeah, I'm sure some of you out there will have got that one.
Okay, now moving on to something slightly more difficult.
I don't think I will get all of these
but we're naming different geographical landmarks.
These are just taken by NASA, which is kind of cool.
Ooh. And I click them.
Uluru, which is that big rock in Australia.
So I'm assuming that's this fella.
Yes, the Grand Canyon.
Ooh. Could be that one, but I don't get another chance at it
so I need to just look at the others.
No, it's got to be, yeah, the Alps.
Ooh, I'm assuming it's that one 'cause that looks
like Italy.
Should we go with that one?
Yes. Iceland is nice and easy.
Iguazu River and Falls.
I'm sure I'm mispronouncing everything wrong here.
That one I don't know.
We've got a big river there.
Do we have any other rivers?
No, I don't think we do that.
I'm assuming that's Mariana Trench.
So let's go with this one.
Yes, the Black Sea.
Could that be that one?
I will hold out.
I think maybe it's this one instead.
Nah. 'cause that seems to be focusing on an island.
Oh, no, no. It'll be this, won't it?
Obviously. I just didn't even see that.
The Great Blue Hole, so it's not Mariana Trench
but I'm assuming that is the Great Blue Hole.
Tasmania. I can recognise. Cape Cod.
Maybe this one.
That could look like a fish.
I don't know if that's why it's named that.
Yes, Himalayas.
Well, that'll be this massive mountain rang. I'm guessing.
Mount Fuji's gonna be that one.
Sicily is down here.
Cape Horn.
Probably that one.
This is Egypt, isn't it?
With the River Nile?
I don't wanna skip any Cape Horn.
Should I go with that one?
Ah, this is probably a gamble.
I'm gonna try. Ah, it was this one.
I had no idea on that.
Lake Superior.
And then the River Nile.
We actually got better than I thought there.
We did some good guesses and we got 93% of them.
Next we've got a London tourist sites on a satellite image
and apparently there's 24, so I'll get some obvious ones.
Like I can see the London Eye's shadow right there
so hopefully that's on here.
But I probably won't even get half of these correct.
But you never know. Maybe we can work it out.
Oh, what do I have to type them?
Oh, that makes things harder.
Okay. London Eye, there you go.
There's a bridge.
So I'm assuming that's, (laughs) it's the big famous bridge.
What's it called?
It's not London Bridge.
It's Tower of London.
No, no, no, it's not Tower of London, is it?
That's the, like the castle thing.
Why have I forgot what the most famous bridge
in London is called?
Maybe it'll come to me.
I'm gonna skip it for now.
That's embarrassing.
Okay. Is that Hyde Park maybe?
Yes, it is.
That was a good guess.
Would that be Buckingham Palace?
Buckingham Palace?
Oh, come on!
Oh, yes it is. It is.
Oh, I have no idea.
I think this is where all of the big skyscrapers are.
So I'm gonna try Canary Wharf.
Nope. Let's try the Gherkin.
Nope. Well, this is difficult.
Oh my God.
I might get no more than three.
What's that?
We've got another kind of park.
Just gonna try a London Zoo just in case.
No. Okay, that's fine.
Then can we name any other parks?
Hyde Park.
(laughs) This is a nightmare.
Okay, next one.
What's gonna be down from the London Eye?
We'll try Tower of London. No, it's not.
Ah, that could be Trafalgar Square.
Trafalgar Square.
Come on please.
Please. Yes.
If London Eye's there
that's gonna be Westminster or Big Ben.
Probably. Let's try that.
Yes. Okay, we're back over here.
Royal Albert Hall.
This is just a bit of a wild guess.
No, it's not.
And then I have no idea where that is.
I should have maybe done this map at the end.
To be honest, it's probably the most challenging one.
What's that gonna be?
So we've got Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square,
National History Museum.
I don't know. National History Museum.
Let's try it.
No. Okay.
London Museum? British Museum?
I think it's called actually British Museum.
No. Okay.
Well, we're having a bit of a nightmare.
Yeah, I actually think I'm completely screwed.
Tower of London is there. At least I did know that one.
What's gonna be in Hyde Park?
London Zoo.
Is that in Hyde Park?
I dunno why I keep trying it.
Well, I guess we skip ahead again.
Big Ben, Westminster.
Westminster. Let's try that.
No, so it's gonna be Westminster Abbey.
Let's try that.
Yes, we got one.
Could that be the Royal Albert Hall?
I know it is next to a park.
Oh my God. Yes. So that means do we have one around here?
Yeah, we do.
So. So is that Albert Monument or Royal Albert Monument?
No, I can't quite remember.
Okay. We've literally got eight out of 24
and I don't think I can get any more of them. (laughs)
I can't believe I can't remember the bridge though.
That's what's like driving me crazy.
Tower Bridge.
Is that it?
Yes. Thank God for that.
Oh God, we were close with Tower of London.
Well, I'm sure I have infuriated many of you with this one
but we will give up and we'll see what we got wrong.
St. Paul's Cathedral.
I definitely should have got, and I, yeah
Tate Modern. Makes sense.
I did try National History Museum
but totally different place.
Oxford Street, Madame Tussauds, Regent's Park.
Okay. 10 Downing Street.
Definitely should have got that one.
But the others, I've obviously heard of all of them,
but yeah, just locating them on a map.
When I'm a Northerner, I can't do that.
Alright, let's redeem ourselves
by naming all 54 countries in Africa without any outlines.
If I get this, I'll be impressed.
Wow. I get no clues.
Okay, we'll just get on with it.
Madagascar to begin with.
And then shall I work my way up from the south?
South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
This is gonna be tricky, but I reckon I will get most
of them.
Mozambique.
I've not done this in ages though,
so maybe I'm completely wrong.
We'll do the Ms, Malawi, Mali.
Rwanda. Uganda.
Then going from there.
Namibia, Angola, we haven't done Kenya.
Nor have we done Tanzania.
That's the one above.
Okay, that's a good start.
13. Think about it for a second.
DRC, CRA.
Or CAR I should say.
Republic of the Congo.
And, uh, Cameroon.
Guinea. Guinea Bissau.
And then Equatorial Guinea.
There you go.
What else can we get?
There's a big gap around here.
We're definitely missing a bunch.
Oh no.
This is so difficult.
I've not done Burundi.
Let's got cheeky little fella.
Then we'll do Somalia and Ethiopia and Egypt as well
as Algeria.
Tunisia, Morocco.
Down from Egypt.
We've got Sudan, South Sudan.
And then from Sudan we can have, da, da, da...
Gabon, Gambia.
Think about it.
That's 31.
That's quite good.
This big area, Chad.
Of course.
Yeah. There's a lot of big chunky fellas around here
so I don't need to worry too much if I don't have many
but I do need Eritrea.
Eritrea and Djibouti.
There you go.
Going from there.
What else are we missing?
We haven't done those little fellas.
Burkina Faso.
We haven't done Ivory Coast.
I've gotta load in me head again.
We need to do Togo and Nigeria.
Niger, Nigeria again.
Ghana's in there as well, isn't it?
Oh, there's some others around here.
Liberia. That's right.
And Libya.
I haven't even done Libya yet!
There we go.
Okay. That's pretty good.
Am I missing somewhere around here?
They are quite large countries.
They are a lot of large countries.
They're all quite long in this spot.
And Angola takes up a lot of that room.
It's difficult without any outlines.
I haven't done any of the Island Nations.
Cape Verde and São Tomé and Príncipe
as well as Comoros and Seychelles.
Oh God. People would kick off if I missed that one.
There you go.
I think there's another one as well.
Comoros. (stammers) Mauritius.
There you go.
And Mauritania, that reminds me.
Mauritania. There you go.
Oh, what am I missing?
Look at this, by the way.
This little bit of the Nile is a very familiar site
at this point in this video.
I feel like it's cropped up too many times.
Okay.
Is there any other island nations that I am forgetting?
I don't think so.
So maybe I need to get some more up in this area.
Oh, it's gonna be annoying.
Which ones have I missed?
Senegal. I haven't got Senegal.
Senegal, there you go.
49 of 54.
There's literally just five.
(gasps) Oh, yes, yes, yes.
Lesotho and what?
Eswatini. Eswatini. (laughs)
Did I not spell that right?
Oh, is it still called Swaziland on this map?
Swaziland. We'll try it.
Yes. They haven't updated the name.
Interesting. All right.
There's three that I'm missing.
What are they?
Djibouti and Etitrea.
Equatorial Guinea.
We've got some obscure ones though.
Somalia, Ethiopia.
Oh my God.
Botswana. Botswana has just come to me.
Botswana, there you go.
Literally two left.
W-what are they gonna be?
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi.
I've done Malawi.
I've done Tanzania.
Yeah. Five seconds.
All right, go on.
Hit me with the bad news.
Who are we forgetting?
We've forgotten Benin and Sierra Leone.
Okay, fair enough.
I could hold my head up high with that one.
I'm quite pleased with that.
No outlines as well.
That's a big bonus.
It's a lot better than our nine out of 24
on The London map. (laughs)
All right, and now finally, countries in satellite images
but they're like closeups.
So to begin with, Somalia.
Yes! It's also Yemen was included and Ethiopia.
Okay. That's a nice easy one as well.
Iceland. Or we could have had Denmark
with Greenland up there.
Ooh, what is that?
Is it USA 'cause it-
No, I thought it was Hawaii.
Right, in that case we can get this.
Is it Seychelles?
Go on. No, it's not.
Is it Maldives?
Right. I'm not giving up, I'm naming them all.
Solomon Islands.
I might come back to it.
I think that would be more efficient, wouldn't it?
Okay. We've got some big gaps.
Where is that?
I don't know.
Somewhere quite green.
Not very deserty at all.
Any clues in the images?
It just says 2019 Google. That does not help me.
I do recognise this.
I'll come back to it again.
That one as well, I feel is familiar, but I don't know.
It's not gonna be Australia.
Oh it is.
It was the top of Australia.
Okay. And then that one
I think I recognise that as Thailand, right?
Yes. There's a few there that we could have had.
Based on this shape and the fact that it gets a bit chilly
I'm gonna try Chile and Argentina.
Yes, that's familiar as well.
Is Cambodia there?
Cambodia? No.
Okay. Weird.
Yeah, that one's not coming to me then I guess.
Oh, I bet that sea is beautiful.
That just looks incredible, doesn't it?
Okay, where's this gonna be?
Could we try Papua New Guinea there?
We will give it a go.
You never know Papua New Guinea, no.
Malaysia.
I'm trying that area of the world.
Indonesia. No, nothing coming to me there.
Jamaica? No.
Cuba. Oh, Cuba, Bahamas.
That's what the really nice pretty sea was.
This one's got an almost landlocked sea
which is kind of cool.
bit of Geography, but none
of the other shapes are kind of making sense to me.
I feel like it could be Europe, maybe around Greece.
No, Turkey.
Yes, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia and Georgia.
Okay. So now it's just the ones that we've skipped.
Why is that so familiar to me?
But I haven't got it.
I was sure this was Vietnam
and Laos in those areas, but apparently not.
That shape, that wiggly shape is definitely in my head.
What is it?
I'm sure quite a few of you know that one.
And that one I'm annoyed at as well.
Estonia. Yeah, that was a complete rogue guess, right?
I'll skip it.
I can't believe I don't have that one.
Wait, it's Central America.
It's just literally just come to me.
So I reckon I could say Costa Rica
and that would be accepted.
There we go.
Yeah, it is Panama.
That's the shape that I recognised.
I should have got that definitely way earlier. Right.
I'm not bothered about this one, but this one is familiar
to me and I want to try and get it.
So Barbados, I'm trying it.
Yes. It was a bunch of Caribbean islands.
It was obviously the Caribbean.
Those island shapes are so familiar.
Okay, I literally have five whole minutes to get this
and then I've got them all.
So I'm gonna persevere on it.
What could it be?
Oh. (laughs)
These are those two islands owned by France and Italy,
aren't they?
And then this is Spain over in the corner.
Well, we actually nailed that one.
So the one I thought would be the hardest is
the only one we got a perfect score on. (laughs)
All right, that was really interesting.
Thank you very much for watching.
