Unexplored territories of the earth. The endless island of Greenland. Selva of the Amazon, South America
Getting to any of the places on this list will be extremely difficult, even with modern development technology will have to do quite a bit hard way. Are you ready to conquer Mother Nature? We present to your attention a selection of the 10 least explored places on Earth, where nature has been preserved in its original form, and all processes go on as usual, without human intervention.
Greenland ice sheet
First discovered by Eric the Red, this land is covered in 80% ice. The ice sheet, which is 600 square miles in size, is believed to melt in about 2,000 years at current rates, so you still have a few millennia to visit. You can admire the beauties of these places in the article about the ice canyons of Greenland, or in other articles on LifeGlobe.
Northern mountains of Colombia
Northern Mountains The Colombians were mostly explored only by guerrilla fighters and criminals. Because of this, it is difficult to say exactly how many mountains have actually been discovered and explored. Most of the local local tribes are peaceful here, and scientists discover new representatives of flora and fauna with each new expedition.
Amazon rainforest
Namibia
With 2.1 million people spread over 300,000 square miles, it's no surprise that Namibia is known as the least populated country in Africa. For animals like the Cheetah and Rhino, Namibia is the perfect haven for poachers. This is due to the program for the protection of the natural world, spelled out in the Namibian government constitution. This the only country in the world that did so.
Tristan da Cunha
Close to the mainland South Africa, Tristan da Cunha is one of the most isolated islands in the world, only 7 miles long. This island has a temperate climate which makes it perfect for giant elephant seals, shorebirds and waterfowl. Tristan hotspot - area with volcanic activity, which forms the islands of the archipelago in the southern Atlantic Ocean.
Northeastern Siberia
Siberia is one of the most parts of Russia, which covers about 70% of the territory of the Country. However, only 30% of its population lives here. In fact, most of the population in Siberia is somehow connected with oil production.
Gankar Punsum
The Gankar Punsum Mountains are at the top of the list of the highest mountains in the world. On the borders of Tibet, China, and Bhutan, these great heights are little explored, both because of their distance and because of the political, social, and spiritual problems between the three countries.
Antarctica
Antarctica is often noted as the world's largest ice mass, hard to reach for scientists. IN Lately Antarctic exploration has intensified as global warming has made it possible to stay here for longer periods.
Mariana Trench
This area is the most unexplored in the world. A deep sea trench, the Mariana Trench is located near Guam and the Mariana Islands. It wasn't until 2011 that the US Navy imaged the topography of the Mariana Trench from a hydrographic ship using a multibeam echo sounder.
The twenty-first century is the time of digital electronics, new technologies and discoveries. Cures have been found for many previously incurable diseases. Skyscrapers have been built that change their shape. Space explored. However, there is still much unknown. For example, the Nazca lines in Peru or China, Stonehenge and Easter Island. Which one is the most mysterious place on the planet? No scientist can answer this question...
Around the world in search of the unknown
Mysterious places on earth. Where to look for them? It is enough to look around. In every corner of the planet you can find interesting and unusual phenomena nature. The question is: what do you want more - beauty that captivates the spirit, or is it still extreme adventures? Seekers of beauty should visit, for example, the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia.

Dedicated to thrill seekers
blue hole. This is an underwater cave, which is located on the coast of Belize among coral reefs ( Central America). It is a funnel 120 meters deep and 305 wide. The roof of the cave collapsed and was flooded when the sea level rose. The blue hole became known to the world after the telecasts of the explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau. It was he who became the discoverer of this amazing natural phenomenon. The underwater world of the cave is very diverse, which attracts divers. Feeling like you are in a cartoon about the mermaid Ariel.
And the lakes are undoubtedly the most unusual places. There are many of these on the planet. And, of course, Lake Melissano in Greece deserves special attention. It is a cave and a lake at the same time. Pure as tears, waters, combined with virgin thickets and unusual stones - what could be more beautiful? The only thing missing is the fabulous nymphs and elves.
Attracts and fascinates the underground river Puerto Princesa in the Philippines. The world's largest underground river. Its length reaches eight kilometers. Puerto Princesa is considered one of the wonders of nature. The area around the underground reservoir, as well as the reservoir itself, has been declared a national park. You can get into the cave directly from the open sea, where the river flows into. Maybe this is the most mysterious place on Earth?
Attracts interest in the US. It is both a surface and underground reservoir. A very long time ago, the most severe of which, the Apaches, lived in the area around the lake. Here you can hear a lot of different legends and legends. They will not leave anyone indifferent. The lake and the area around it are considered a nature reserve.
If we talk about natural reservoirs, we should mention the Pamukkale basins in Turkey. A place that will leave its imprint in the memory of a tourist for a long time. The pools are large hills filled with natural medicinal waters. Millions of tourists visit the country just to see this most mysterious place on Earth. At any time of the day, the view from the pool is simply amazing. Many consider the Pamukkale pools to be the eighth wonder of the world.
Mysterious places of the planet
How many interesting and mysterious nature hides! It seems that life is not enough to go around the Earth and see everything with my own eyes. But, on the other hand, there would be time and desire. After all, nothing is impossible!
So, where are they - the mysterious places of the planet? Photos of natural curiosities can be found on the pages of various encyclopedias. It is enough to look through one of these books and decide on the route of travel. You should definitely see the Giant's Road in Ireland, Trolltunga in Norway, canyons in the USA, Spotted Lakes in Canada, and much, much more.
Road of the Giants. It is laid out on the coast of Ireland from stone columns. There are many legends and tales about her. The most common legend is that the road was built by a Finn to fight a sea monster. In fact, the trail was formed as a result of volcanic eruptions. The area where it is located is a nature reserve.
Antelope Canyon in the USA. America is rich in canyons, but the most amazing is the Antelope Canyon. In the photo, it looks like a human creation. After all, how can nature fashion such lines and shapes? Maybe! Winds and rain water for a long time carved and washed out the sand caves. It is difficult to name all the shades of the canyon. In the morning he is one, in the evening he is another. And the best play of colors is during the day, when sunshine. The canyon is located on the lands of the Navajo tribe. And to see the most mysterious place on Earth, you need to pay the Indians for crossing their land.
Spotted Lake in Canada. The shape of the lake resembles a honeycomb, each cell of which is filled with water of a different color. This is because the reservoir is saturated with various minerals, which color the water. In summer, the water evaporates, leaving useful minerals on the surface.
Stone forest in China. These are amazing stones resembling small mountains. At one time there was a sea that washed soft rocks leaving stone trunks. The forest is located in Yunnan province and is very popular among tourists. It has narrow paths and passages along which it is better not to wander alone - you can get lost. There are similar formations in Russia on the banks of the Lena River (Yakutia).
Pyramids of Yoganuni in Japan. The world knows many pyramids, but the Japanese were discovered quite recently, only 20 years ago. The uniqueness of the buildings is that they are under water. According to scientists, is ten thousand years. There are no clear answers as to who and how built this artifact. However, terraces, trenches, various lines and inscriptions testify to some, perhaps still unknown, civilization that was flooded by the sea.
Tourists in love should definitely visit the Tunnel of Lovers. It is located in the Rivne region in Ukraine. The abandoned railway, it would seem, should have a frightening, mystical appearance. But with this tunnel, it's the other way around! summer plot railway from all sides it is overgrown with greenery and takes the form of a tunnel. Many lovers and newlyweds rush here for a photo session. The tunnel is very similar to the path from the fairy tale "Alice in Wonderland". So you are waiting for the Cheshire Cat to appear...
A few horror stories. ghost towns
In addition to stunning and mysterious natural corners, our planet is full of creepy and unpleasant places that chill the soul with their mystical secrets. As they say, horror films "rest" in comparison. Thrill seekers - just right!
In the category "Most anomalous places» The first place can legally be given to Ukraine and its ghost town of Pripyat. The city is abandoned and abandoned after the worldwide famous tragedy on Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Empty streets, playgrounds and lonely houses seem to be specially created as scenery for a creepy movie. Pripyat is the youngest ghost town. At the time of the disaster, he was only 16 years old. Now about 300 old-timers live there, who did not want to seek shelter in other cities.
There is a similar town in Russia - Kadychkan (Magadan). It has been leading its history since 1943, when deposits of high quality coal were discovered on the site of the future settlement. Since then, a small settlement has been founded. However, after the explosion of the mine in 1996, life in the city became impossible due to increased levels of radiation. People languished before their eyes. The evacuation has begun. Now only empty apartments and abandoned cars in the yards remind us that the city “was”…
Oradour-sur-Glan is a French village whose inhabitants were shot by the German invaders during the Second World War. In one day, 642 people were killed, of which almost 500 were women and children. The city itself was burned down. Not far from the site of the tragedy built new town with the same name, and the old Oradour-sur-Glane is recognized as a historical monument.
There is also a ghost town in America - Detroit (Michigan). The previously prosperous city is now like a ghost: destroyed houses and schools inspire fear and horror. The strongest impression is made by the once largest in the world railroad station. Detroit is a great location for filming mystical films. In abandoned churches, dolls are scattered everywhere, testifying to satanic rites.
Ghost towns are the most unusual places on the planet. They make you think about the consequences of human actions and reconsider your attitude to nature.
In Search of the Paranormal
When it comes to ghost towns, it is appropriate to mention individual buildings that are so frightening in their appearance. The paranormal places of the planet are not a game of directors' imagination, these are true stories that deserve attention.
Amityville. Someone will say: "It's just fiction!" But still strange house actually exists! The town of Amityville is located near New York. The murder, which led to mysterious events, has not been solved to this day. Nobody knows what really happened there. However, after a terrible incident, when the eldest son killed his entire family, not a single tenant lingered in the house for a long time. People fled leaving their belongings.
The psychiatric clinic Lier Sikehus in Norway or a military hospital in Germany inspire the same horror. Buildings that have a dark past will be a godsend for fans of the paranormal. In the clinic, as well as in the hospital, the souls who died in agony and torment found their refuge.
Loneliness with notes of mysticism "smells" of the eighth workshop of the Dagdiesel plant (Russia). This is a Russian military station in the Caspian Sea. It is located three kilometers from the coast. The walls of a long-abandoned factory, like a cold iceberg, stand in the middle of the sea and frighten the marines with their monstrous appearance ...
Russia also has its own Silent Hill. A small abandoned town of dachas and children's camps is located in the Moscow region. And God forbid to become a witness of the satanic rites that are held there!
Roads of death
Our land is intertwined with roads and highways. There are good highways and not so good ones. And there are paths, staying on which inspires inexplicable fear.
For example, the most scary road in the world! She claimed thousands of lives. The road passes high in the mountains and stretches for 70 km. On one side there are rocks dotted with crosses and monuments, and on the other side there is a cliff and an abyss. And although the construction of a safe path has begun, they still use this road. Eyewitnesses have repeatedly noticed strange white shadows flickering either in front or behind the car. Probably, the souls of the dead on this path, who cannot find rest in any way ...
An unusual road is located in the mountains of China. This is not just a track, but a road-tunnel. Periodically, the route seems to enter the mountain itself, where on the one hand there are rocks, and on the other - such windows over the abyss. They say that if the driver looks out that window, he will immediately fall down ...
There is a road of death in Russia too. This is the name of the Lyubertsy-Lytkarino highway. It is a narrow winding highway where drivers drive with the utmost care. Strange silhouettes were seen here by more than one traveler. Rumor has it that in these places there are ancient burials. Perhaps restless souls are looking for answers to their eternal questions. The whole road is strewn with monuments, crosses and flowers.
And by and large, all the roads of Russia in one way or another can be called the paths of death. Either the drivers are like that, or the highways, but Russian Federation among the first countries in road accidents.
Paranormal Russia
The whole Russian country is teeming with anomalies. There are a lot of different oddities in its very heart - in Moscow and the region. Anomalous places near Moscow are scattered mainly in small villages.
UFO seekers can hunt for unusual pictures in the settlements of Chasovnya, Protasovo, Ogudnevo, Nikolskoye and many others. The strongest geopathic node is located in the Chasovnya village. Strange sounds, shadows and flashes have been noticed more than once by local residents. Some were lucky enough to capture interesting footage on the camera, the authenticity of which was verified in Russia and the United States.
Lights are often recorded in the sky at 47 km of the Yaroslavl Highway, in particular, over the village of Sofrino. You can find out if this is true or not, only if you arm yourself with a camera and go on an extreme journey.
If we talk about Moscow itself, then almost every metro station hides some secrets. A lot of interesting and paranormal hide underground stations"Baumanskaya" (Basurmansky crypts), "Sukharevskaya" (Sorcerer's Tower), " Chistye Prudy”(miser with Myasnitskaya). These are places that still keep the secrets of the past.
But the greatest horror inspires the residents of Moscow Beria's House on Malaya Nikitskaya Street (Metro Arbatskaya). They say that at night you can hear the sounds of an approaching car, followed by heavy male steps. It was Beria who returned home. And it's good if he is accompanied by a lady. But if the groans of the repressed are heard, then it is better to run from that place without looking back ...
What do the caves of Russia hide?
Caves are the most mysterious places on the planet, which have been of great interest to people since ancient times. There are different beliefs and legends about these natural creations.
For example, the Sablinsky caves in Leningrad region took more than one human life. They prefer to remain silent about this place. You won't read about it in the paper or hear it on the radio. The secret zone is covered with mysteries that no one has yet been able to unravel. Previously, fugitives and prisoners hid in the caves. Probably, they could not find a way out of them, and now their souls are doomed to an eternal search.
Many horror stories are also connected with the Kashlukat cave, which is in the north of Russia. It is popularly known as the Black Devil Cave. No wonder, because its grottoes also have mystical names- Skeleton, Obscurantists... On the walls of the cave, you can see the ancient spells of shamans who have been performing their rituals here for a long time. It is said that those who managed to survive after going to the cave go crazy over time.
The most anomalous and mysterious places Russia are in mountain ranges. One of these is the Dyatlov Pass. Many people know about this place film of the same name. This is not just an invention of the director, this is a real mountain, and it is located in the north of the Urals. Back in 1959, a group of young tourists tried to conquer it. However, all members of the group died under mysterious circumstances. Rescuers looking for tourists found only a tent torn from the inside. What force forced people to leave the place of lodging for the night in severe frost? What scared the members of the group so much? There are still no clear answers to these questions. locals think this place is cursed.
They don't talk about places like this...
“Unusual places on the planet, photos of which can be found on the pages of educational books, are just pictures,” everyone will say. And only those who have felt the cold of a mysterious cave or lake are unlikely to want to visit these corners again.
There are areas in Russia that it is better not to know about, and even more so not to go there. For example, the Devil's Cemetery, local residents prefer to bypass the tenth road. A mystical forest with an incomprehensible clearing is located near the village of Ust-Kov, Kezhemsky district, Krasnodar Territory.
According to the legend of the villagers, in 1908 a meteorite fell here, which formed in the ground. The hole closed up over time. But the land at this place is considered cursed. It looks like after a terrible fire, and there is nothing alive on it. Anyone who sets foot on the Devil's Cemetery will immediately die. Over the years of research, about a hundred people have disappeared here.
These are far from all the anomalous places in Russia. Many secrets are hidden in the water bodies of the country.
Ivachevskoe lake ( Volgograd region). The reservoir captivates with its beauty and mystery. However, the picturesque area not only pacifies, but also catches up with a certain fear. Many noted that after resting on this lake, their health worsened. And residents of the city of Cherepovets, which is located next to the lake, say that everything more people disappears in this pond. Researchers of anomalies have not yet given clear answers. This is the most mysterious place on Earth.
They also bypass the Yachenskoye reservoir (Kaluga region). In the people it is called the Thunder of the Lord. The reservoir attracts an electric charge. People who bathe in it die from lightning strikes. It is better not to visit these places. It is unlikely that anyone will enjoy such a vacation.
But the mortality of people in Lake Syurzi Arkhangelsk region quite understandable. The reservoir is life-threatening due to increased radioactivity. The fish here float up belly up, and the fishermen disappear altogether. Those who managed to survive after such fishing recall the events with fear and do not always survive until the morning. The results of forensic medical examinations show that the cause of death of the fishermen was the effect of radiation.
These are far from all the anomalous places in Russia. The mystical city of Arkaim is distinguished by its beauty and mystery. Chelyabinsk region. Where two rivers, Karaganka and Utyaganka, converge into one, and this amazing historical heritage is located. The city was discovered by archaeologists in 1987. It looks like rings, enclosed one in another. The settlement has four entrances - one for each side of the world. The surviving buildings of Arkaim testify to ancient civilization. The city has amazing properties - it is able to heal many diseases. Those who have been here once will certainly return again. But Arkaim is not hospitable to everyone. On some, he catches up with fear and horror. Only a select few are allowed entry.
Incredible places on Earth - towards adventure!
The unknown surrounds us everywhere. The most mysterious places on the planet are open only to the elite. People with great willpower who are ready for an exciting trip. Our life is so short and fleeting that you don’t even have time to look back, as old age creeps up. And it’s good, closing your eyes, to remember the mysterious places of the planet, in search of which you wandered around the world. And who has not seen true beauty our Earth - he almost did not live ...
Many people think that since modern technologies allowed us to start exploring the Moon and Mars, launching spacecraft to Jupiter, Saturn and other planets, then there are no more secret and unexplored corners on Earth. In fact, this is completely true.
But even today there are quite a few areas on the globe that remain poorly understood for one reason or another, where a human foot has stepped a couple of times at most. We have collected 10 of the most unexplored corners and places on our planet.
1. Northern Columbian Mountains
Tiered mountain ranges with a system of caves, picturesque sites and dense vegetation are hardly suitable for your privacy, as they serve as privacy for other people - namely, Colombian drug dealers. Having captured this completely unexplored territory, they keep it in complete submission, thanks to the fact that the mountains are very difficult to storm, and the lush, year-round green vegetation provides excellent cover.
However, selfless scientists who, at their own peril and risk, conduct scientific expeditions there, talk about new unique discoveries in the animal and flora, especially in intermountain isolated valleys.
2. Angel Falls
Also known as Kerepakupai vena, which means "Waterfall of the Deepest Place". This is the highest continuous waterfall in the world. It is located in the tropical forests of Venezuela, on the territory national park Canaima. Water overthrows from the top of Auyantepui, the largest of the Venezuelan tepui - its name in Russian means "mountain of the devil."
The water falls from a stunning height of 979 m. The waterfall gets its name from Jimmy Angel, the US pilot who first flew over this waterfall. This place is still one of the most inaccessible on Earth due to the dense jungle and the lack of vehicles.
3. Papua New Guinea
An open but unexplored land that amazes with its landscapes, diversity of fauna and other natural beauties, also pleases researchers with discoveries in the world of people. The thing is that more and more new tribes and cultures are found there, most often cannibalistic, which, by the way, interfere with the study of this territory.
If you still decide to admire the pristine beauty of nature without smoking chimneys, admire the rivers without waste merging into it and still go to Papua New Guinea, then remember that you will have to be extremely careful in this little explored area - the population is unfriendly, and If help comes, it will be extremely untimely.
4. Greenland Ice Sheet
Greenland has the second largest ice sheet in the world (after the Antarctic), and the island is used as a testing ground for fundamental research on glaciers: glaciologists study glacier dynamics here, microbiologists - ancient life bound in ice. However, the most significant aspect remains the study of the paleoclimatic aspects of research, since the ice has air inclusions that can provide information about the atmosphere of the past. In total, six deep wells have been drilled in Greenland, and the most little explored place- this is the Northern edge of Greenland, the Lincoln Sea and other arctic waters surrounding it. In their entire history, only a few ships have visited here, among them were our nuclear-powered icebreakers. But this whole icy desert is gradually melting, and at current rates, the shield will disappear in 2,000 years.
5. Tristan da Cunha
A temperate warm climate, rich fauna and flora, the south of the Atlantic Ocean - what could be better than solitude and quiet old age? In addition, it is extremely difficult to get here, there is no way by air - only by sea, and even then on certain days, when the sea is calm and there is no danger of flying onto a rocky ridge.
However, there is Internet on the island, there is radio communication, so everything that a modern person needs to be happy can be found there. Cons - about 300 more people have chosen such a paradise place, you will have to put up with this company, as well as the fact that you will have to produce food yourself - catch fish with homemade nets or plow on plantations like those same 300 people.
6. rain forests Amazonia
7. Tibetan Plateau
Traveling 20 days on foot, walking 81 days and not seeing a single person, do you think this is possible only on the surface of the moon? No, this is the Tibetan Plateau - one of the most mysterious places on Earth. With the exception of a handful of monks in certain areas, you run the risk of not running into anyone here at all, even if you move permanently to a small village.
Cartographers still don't have common card terrain, and if we talk somewhere about white spots, then only about Tibet. The championship is held by the border mountains of Gankar Punsum, having chosen these heights, you will have to get to the nearest locality about a month and a half without the possibility of using any transport.
8. Mariana Trench
Almost the entire bottom of the World Ocean can be called the least explored space on our planet. However, the most mysterious point known is the oceanic deep sea trench in the West Pacific Ocean. The depression is named after nearby Mariana Islands, and her most deep point"Challenger Deep" is located in the southwestern part. According to measurements in 2011, its depth is 10,994 ± 40 m below sea level. Only 3 people have visited this place: Jacques Picard and Donald Walsh in the Trieste bathyscaphe in 1960 and James Cameron in the bathyscaphe Deepsea Challenger in 2012. The pressure at this depth is 1,106 times the pressure at sea level, but 20,000 microorganisms have been found at the bottom of the Challenger Deep. The fauna collected included isopods and six species of shrimp-like amphipods. Further exploration of the trough, scientists say, could tell us more about how organisms adapt to high pressure, and perhaps even unravel the mystery of the origin of life.
9. Cape York Peninsula
The natural reserve on the northern peninsula of Australia is also famous for being extremely difficult to reach, only by air. Large flat areas, where absolutely no one lives, are interspersed with small settlements of aborigines, who are extremely unfriendly to tourists trying to penetrate their protected area.
It is not called a reserve for nothing - only there you can find up to 150 different species of animals and plants that are found on Earth only on Cape York and nowhere else. Beautiful hilly landscapes and ocean bays still attract extreme tourists, according to whom the trip to Cape York is very expensive, due to the absolutely undeveloped infrastructure of this part of the mainland.
10 Naica Crystal Cave
This giant cave natural crystals, including the largest ever found. It is located next to the city of Naica, Chihuahua, Mexico. Miners discovered the cave during excavations of a new tunnel in 2000. It has the shape of a horseshoe. The air temperature reaches up to 58 °C (136 °F) and the humidity is between 90 and 99 percent. Without proper protective equipment, people are only able to stay inside for about ten minutes due to the high temperature. Notably, access to the cave is provided by the mining company's pumping activities. If it stops, the cave will sink again under water.
Through the power of his intellect, man has been able to discover many of the Earth's secrets. In addition, man visited the surface of the moon and learned other planets of the solar system. However, some mysterious places still remain on planet Earth. severe weather and the destructive forces of nature - that's what prevents people from exploring some areas. At the same time, these same forces of nature help to protect places, unique in their pristine beauty, from human interference. So the rating the most mysterious unexplored places on earth.
7. Greenland Ice Sheet
Greenland is the most big island planets. Most of of this island is covered with an ice sheet, which makes the island so uninhabitable and little explored. Greenland's ice sheets are 3,200 meters thick and 100,000 years old. Also in Greenland there are glaciers, rivers formed from the melting of ice, hot springs. In addition, there you can observe the most beautiful white nights and northern lights, but due to unstable weather conditions, Greenland remains one of the most underexplored places in the world.
6. Mariana Trench
The Mariana Trench is located in the deepest part of the planet, in the western Pacific Ocean. The depression was formed millions of years ago due to the occurrence of a tectonic plate fault in the ocean. deepest point Mariana Trench, known as the "Challenger Deep" is located at a depth of 11 kilometers. Such depth and high pressure in the cavity make it dangerous place for the people who study it. At the same time, the Mariana Trench is home to deep sea organisms and rare minerals. The bottom of the depression contains fossils dating back millions of years and other rocks, the study of which can help reveal many of the secrets of the Earth. However, exploration of the Mariana Trench proves to be very difficult due to the dangerous conditions.
5. Kankar Punsum
Kankar Punsum - the highest unconquered peak world, located in Bhutan. The height of this mountain is 7570 meters, which provides it with a place among the 40 highest mountains on the planet. There are only four known attempts to climb Kankar-Punsum in 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1994. But all these attempts were unsuccessful due to heavy snowfall and severe weather conditions. Out of respect for local beliefs, the government of Bhutan banned climbing Kankar Punsum in 2004. Thus, this peak remained completely unexplored.
4. Deserts
Everyone knows that deserts are one of the least explored areas due to unbearable weather conditions. antarctic desert is the largest area deprived of vegetation. The world's hottest desert is the Sahara in Africa. Deserts receive very little rainfall, and there are also large temperature fluctuations - the days are extremely hot, while the nights are very cold. Such weather conditions are almost unbearable for most animals, plants and people. The fourth line among the mysterious places.
3. Deep caves
There are many caves scattered across the Earth. Their exploration is a great difficulty due to difficult weather conditions, rocky terrain, acidic environment and the complexity of the descent. Some underwater caves have conditions so unacceptable for life that even marine inhabitants do not live in them. The flooded Cenotes of the Yucatan in Mexico are good to that example. Ice and crystal caves are also too dangerous for research due to their unpredictability.
2. Amazonian jungle
The Amazon jungle makes up half of all rainforest planets and occupy an area of 5.5 million square kilometers. The wide variety of species and the habitat of rare animals in the forests make the Amazonian jungle an interesting field for research. Despite this, Amazonian jungle remain one of the most unexplored corners of the planet. In this area, it rains all year round, and showers lasting from February to May contribute to a strong rise in the water level in the Amazon and flooding of nearby areas. Thus, crossing the turbulent course of the Amazon River also turns out to be a serious obstacle in the way of researchers. In addition, the Amazonian jungle is inhabited by extremely dangerous representatives of the animal world: jaguars, rattlesnakes, poisonous spiders and frogs, mosquitoes, piranhas, alligators and huge anacondas. In addition to all the above obstacles to exploration, the Amazon Jungle has limited access to safe food and clean water for humans.
1. Antarctica
The most mysterious unexplored place on the planet. In addition to being the coldest place on the Earth's surface, Antarctica also experiences huge temperature fluctuations: from -10C° to -30C° in one day. The temperature minimum recorded in Antarctica is -89C°. The harshest climate makes Antarctica the most unexplored area in the world. The maximum wind speed of 200 mph in Antarctica was recorded in 1972. Layers of ice 2 miles thick, heavy snowfalls, glaciers and deep crevices pose a serious danger to explorers.
Our vast planet is full of such places that impress with their unimaginable beauty and mystery. From time immemorial, people have always been attracted to themselves by the most. There are so many places on Earth where unimaginable events take place, and there are such amazing creatures that impress not only ordinary tourists, but also met with many scientists. Researchers are trying to find out more about what they see, but there are still no solutions to many questions, and mysterious riddles remain unrevealed.
Amazing buildings
most mysterious and uncharted places- These are historical buildings about which there are various rumors and legends. And no one knows the reliable answer to the question of where they came from and in what century BC. It is very interesting to get answers to these questions, but when will it be possible? Someday people will find answers to these puzzling questions.
To understand how many such places and buildings are on our planet, we can give a whole list of specific examples.
stonehenge
This is the very first and probably the most famous attraction that does not have reliable information about its origin. The place where this building is located is called the county of Wiltshire, which is located in England. This monument of the world is considered the most mysterious. Around it, scientists and researchers make hundreds of assumptions that are not similar to each other. But, unfortunately, disputes do not move forward.
It is with its mysteriousness that this building attracts people from all over the world.
This stone structure evokes a variety of fantasies. Movies have even been filmed here. It is said that this amazing miracle was created by extraordinary people with high development, who thus arranged a memorial place for those who died in their time. This theory - one of many - is confirmed by the fact that burials were indeed found near this place.
Underwater Pyramid of Yonaguni
This place is the most mysterious. From the name it is clear that it is located underground in the water. Scientists have found that this unusual building is about ten thousand years old. She is located in Japan. This place is especially memorable for those who love scuba diving. It was a diver who discovered these pyramids about twenty years ago.
Interestingly, one of the walls of this monument has a sharp cliff that goes to a depth of about thirty meters. Some scholars suggest that this monument was at first an ordinary rock, but then people transformed it, and subsequently it acquired such appearance which has now.
Nazca lines
Still incomprehensible and amazing are the Nazca lines, which are located in Peru, not far from the Nazca desert. From above, these drawings look especially neat and resemble certain pictograms that could hardly have appeared on their own. The clarity of these lines is due to the fact that they geographical location, which implies a constantly dry season, has kept them in their proper, one might say, untouched form. In addition to lines, here you can also observe images of various animals and insects, as well as other objects.
This most mysterious place in the world has been subjected to many assumptions by historians and archaeologists. They say that these amazing lines were created for the religious rites that the ancient Indians performed. Some believe that this is only evidence that huge looms were used in this place before.
New Grage Mound
No less mysterious is the mound, which is located near Ireland and has the name New Grange. This mound above the ground is 85 meters in diameter. And it reaches a height of about 11 meters. The most interesting thing about this mound is that although the roof is made of earth, which is overgrown with various grasses, the walls are not earthen, but stone, that is, they are made of quartz, which distinguishes this mound from all others and makes it unique.
They say that this building is about five thousand years old, of course, during this time the walls collapsed a little, but they are neat. It is also very interesting to find out exactly how this building looks inside. Only after going inside, you can immediately get into a long corridor that leads to a room located across.
This room consists of tall monoliths, holes in the walls, rings carved into the walls and other decorations, and there is also a large stone bowl. Many are surprised by what happens to the sun on the solstice in December. At this time, a thin ray of the sun literally penetrates inside this mound for just a few minutes. It is interesting that the sunbeam does not penetrate through the entrance, but through a small hole that is located above the entrance.
These amazing places around the world show that our history was preceded by important events when someone unknown built these monuments. Now people only have to find out the real origin of these buildings.
But no less interesting are also places that no one has created, they are so amazing that they simply lead to extraordinary admiration.
Beautiful and unusual places of the Earth
There are many places on Earth where you can admire the beautiful bewitching nature. It is in these places that the most incomprehensible and most inexplicable things happen. Here are just a few examples of this.
Salar de Uyuni
Describing the most mysterious places on Earth, one cannot fail to mention the sky, which gives the impression of being upside down. We can say that this is a natural mirror, which reaches ten thousand square meters in area.
Bolivia has a desert that is completely different from all the deserts that only exist on Earth. What is its superiority and difference? This desert is unusual in that it has collected many salt marshes. Therefore, we can say that it is not sandy, but salty. Surprisingly, there are also active volcanoes here, cacti grow here and there are geysers. It is really huge in size. But when the rainy season comes, it becomes even more extraordinary than it was before. While it's raining, here on dry lake water practically does not soak into the ground, but creates a giant mirror. Many, having been there, say that it seems that the sky has turned upside down.
The end of the world
One of extraordinary places on our planet, the sea is considered, namely the junction of two seas - the Baltic and the North. This place is located in Denmark, near the city of Skagen. The locals called this place the end of the world, since the junction of these seas is so clearly visible that it seems that one world ends and another begins.
This miracle is explained by the fact that in the waters of these two seas there are two separate currents of different densities. Therefore, they do not mix, but create a separate border, which is clearly visible.
Forest with crooked trees
Even more mysterious and inexplicable is the forest, in which trees of an unusual shape grow. This forest is located in Poland. It did not grow on its own, but was planted before the Second World War in the thirties of the twentieth century.
This forest has about four hundred trees that have a bend in the trunk in one direction, it looks so synchronously and smoothly that it is simply amazing. It is difficult to find a sensible explanation for such an unimaginable growth of pines. We can say that this attraction in Poland is one of the most memorable, so the state carefully guards it. It also assigned the status of a reserve to the forest.
Sable Island
Considering the most mysterious places on the planet, it is important to mention the island, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, its dimensions are 42 meters by one and a half meters. But not only this is mysterious and surprising. It is more strange that ships cannot sail normally near it. According to statistics, about seven hundred ships have already been shipwrecked.
This fact is explained by the fact that this island is located in a not very good place. Namely, at the intersection of two currents, cold and warm, Labrador and Gulf Stream. These two different currents create constant strong storms near the island, which are characterized by heavy fog and high waves. For this reason, many sailors are simply unable to see a low flat island, which is barely visible from under the water.
It is also interesting that this island has the ability to move. It has been observed that Sable in the ocean can move at a speed of two hundred meters a year. It is surprising that not a single island can move faster in the ocean, and the ocean floor itself moves only a few millimeters a year. Therefore, it is also considered inexplicable.
It is also worth noting that the reason for this movement is that the island is under pressure from two sides. On the one hand, it erodes the ocean, and on the other hand, the current brings sand. Because of this, the island also not only changes its position, but also its size, either growing or decreasing. It is because of this that ship captains cannot be 100% sure where exactly this island is located, as well as what size it is.
