A Strange Map of the North Pole - Day 5 ASMR Advent Calendar

Happy second advent sunday! Time to light another candle on our wreath 🕯🕯 Today we're looking at a historical map of the North Pole. Even before peope thought that Santa has his workshop there, some fantastical ideas were going around. Around 1600, Gerald Mercator created this detailed map of a strange polar landscape: free of ice, surrounded by four islands and with a floating magnetic rock at the centre... The book is by Kevin J. Brown and called "A Journey Back in Time Through Maps" (German translation: "Ansichten der Welt. Kartografische Reisen durch die Zeit") The Christmas book is by Elisabeth Auersperg-Breunner and simply called "Weihnachtszeit". *** You can support my channel via: Paypal Me - melangeasmr Ko-Fi - melangeasmr

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
