Are there unexplored places on earth. Incredible places on Earth - towards adventure! Underwater Pyramid of Yonaguni

With progressive science, many of the secrets of the Earth have already been discovered. We have already reached the surface of the Moon and explored other planets. But, there are still the most mysterious places on Earth that are yet to be explored. Here is a list of the best unknown places on the ground.

Unfavorable conditions and destructive natural forces make some places the least explored. On the other hand, it is protection. Because, it will help to keep even a few places in their original form.

The most mysterious places on earth

Endless island of Greenland

Greenland is the largest island in the world. It is also the most north country in the world. 80 percent of Greenland is covered in ice. This is the exact reason why Greenland remains the least explored and sparsely populated. By 2016, living on this big island only 56250 people.

Some ice sheets of this island have a thickness of 3200 meters. There are also glaciers on the island, deep rivers, ice, sun, hot springs and Northern lights. In the case of transportation in Greenland, there are no roads or railway networks, and to get through you can choose a snowmobile, boat, plane or helicopter.

Mariana Trench in the Western Pacific

The Mariana Trench is the deepest part on Earth, located in the western part Pacific Ocean. This deep, crescent-shaped trench formed in the ocean millions of years ago. Given the depth and high pressure in the Mariana Trench, this dangerous place to explore it.

So far, there have been only two successful manned descents into the depression. The first descent was made by Swiss oceanographer Jacques Picard and Lieutenant Don Walsh in 1960. The second mission was carried out by famed Hollywood director James Cameroon in 2012.

The Mariana Trench is home to many rare minerals and ocean creatures. Bottom Mariana Trench contains fossils.

The unclimbed peak of Kankar Punsum in Bhutan

Kankar Punsum is the most high mountain not traversed in the world. It is located in Bhutan. Even at the very high peak, Mount Everest has already successfully climbed many people. But no one has yet managed to reach the top of Kankar-Punsum.

In total, four expeditions took place on it. In 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1994 respectively. But all these expeditions were unsuccessful due to heavy snowfall and unstable conditions. in 2004, the government of Bhutan restricted mountaineering in Kankar Punsum due to spiritual beliefs. Thus, the mountain became untraveled and unknown.

Lifeless Deserts

This known fact that deserts are the least explored due to bad weather conditions. The Sahara is the largest desert in the world. It covers over 200 million square miles. Sahara is located in Africa, is the largest and hottest desert in the world.

Deserts receive very little precipitation per year. Extreme temperature fluctuations are also very common in deserts. Days can be quite hot. But the nights are very cold. This makes for a very harsh environment for animals, plants and humans. Although, some animals and plants can be found in the deserts. Such animals are highly adaptable to live in harsh conditions.

Unknown Deep Caverns

Eat a large number of unexplored caves located all over the world. Too difficult to explore many caves due to unbearable weather conditions and sharp stones

Also unexplored are some underwater caves in the world, not even there marine life due to lethal conditions. Flooded, Yucatan Cenotes, the network caves in Mexico is the best example for this. The Crystal Caverns and Snow Caves have become too dangerous for expeditions due to unprecedented changes.

Endless Amazon, South America

With a total area of ​​2.5 million square kilometers, the Amazon contains half rainforest on the ground. The rich biological diversity and the presence of a large number of rare species make the Amazon popular for scientific expeditions. But the mysterious Amazon is a dangerous habitat.
There is no dry season in the Amazon rainforest, it rains throughout the year. Heavy rain in the Amazon rainforest begins in February. This leads to a sharp rise in the water level in the river and to severe flood. Under such conditions, transportation across rivers also became too dangerous due to the extreme river currents.

Also, the Amazon is dangerous due to deadly animals such as jaguars, rattlesnakes, Brazilian wandering spiders, mosquitoes, poisonous frogs, piranhas, black caimans and anacondas, which can harm even humans. In addition, the lack of access to healthy food and clean water makes an expedition to the Amazon rainforest too dangerous.

Ice Antarctica

Antarctica is the coldest place on the Earth's surface. It is a dry, cold, windy continent. The climate in Antarctica changes dramatically from -10 degrees Celsius to -30 degrees Celsius under normal conditions. The lowest recorded temperature in Antarctica is -89 degrees. By itself, this harsh climate of Antarctica makes it a dangerous environment to explore.

The maximum wind speed recorded in Antarctica was 200 mph in 1972. The ice in Antarctica is 2 miles thick. It reflects the unbearable climate conditions on the continent. Heavy snow, glaciers, cracks and other potential hazards in Antarctica. Therefore, this place is very difficult to explore.

Surprisingly, it is a fact: there are still places on our planet where no human has ever set foot! They are only photographed from aircraft or from space orbit.

According to scientists, about thirty percent of the Earth's surface has yet to be "explored" by expeditions. Is it a lot or a little? I believe that a lot, since we are talking about dry land. The largest unexplored (or poorly explored) territories are in South America. First of all, it is worth immediately identifying the Amazon basin with its virgin forests. There and now, in our time, there are tribes that have never had any contact with modern civilization. The forests and rivers of the Amazon hold many secrets. In the jungle, you can easily be a dinner for wild predatory animals. Crocodiles and anacondas will be happy to bite you in the rivers.

The second most important "blank spot" in the world is North-Eastern Siberia. There are very few roads. Taiga, mountains, very harsh climate do not allow you to explore this vast territory well. Other places can only be reached by helicopter. Severe cold (on average minus 45 degrees) in winter, dense hordes of mosquitoes, midges, gadflies in summer ... permafrost. To complete the picture, it must also be said that North-Eastern Siberia is the most sparsely populated territory of Eurasia.

The third little-studied place on the planet is Antarctica. Although its research has been carried out by the efforts of scientists from several countries for more than a decade, about half of the territory is still only approximately indicated on the map. And even then from the air, and not by other (more reliable in terms of accuracy) methods. The least explored territory of Antarctica is its western part.

In fourth place is Greenland. It is 80 percent covered in ice. And this is really a "blank spot" on the maps. Global warming has led to the fact that the ice of Greenland recedes and opens up unknown mountains, depressions, plains. There were even new rivers.

However, there are places on Earth that are less famous in terms of their degree of study, but more exotic. For example, northern mountains Colombia. No scientific expedition would dare to go to those places. Cause? This part of Colombia is under the complete control of the armed combat units of drug traffickers. They don't know diplomacy.

Another exotic, but also extremely dangerous place for research on the planet - Papua New Guinea. More than half of its territory has never had any scientific expeditions. Cause? In the mountains and forests of this country there are tribes of cannibals. How many of them in number is unknown. But they are hostile to any contact with them and, at every opportunity, capture those who dare to pass through their territory. The end of captivity is always the same - a bloody rite of eating aliens.

Acquaintance with Namibia can be no less dangerous. Her rich wild animal world constantly attracts poachers armed with the most modern small arms. More than 2,500 cheetahs live in Namibia - a quarter of all cheetahs on the planet. Although the constitution of this country has a special article on the protection of wild animals, poachers simply meet with automatic fire any attempts to detain them or even photograph them. It is clear that under such conditions there can be no talk of any scientific research.

The Tibetan Plateau is also poorly studied. But here the reason is completely different - an almost Martian landscape, complete desertion, absolute impassability. You will be very lucky if local guide will be able to orient correctly. Otherwise, the entire expedition will face certain painful death due to hellish conditions. By the way, cartographers still cannot even make common card Tibetan plateau. You can now go in any direction along it and not know what will be ahead. Monotonous mountains and rocks create the feeling of being on an unknown planet.

On Earth there is not only a part of the land unknown to research. Scientists say that the moon is much better studied than sea ​​depths our planet. And as an example - Mariana deep sea trench. Only very recently (in 2011) its relief was obtained from a US military vessel using a multibeam echo sounder. What is there, in the hollow itself, is unknown. But one of the last descents of the bathysphere almost ended in tragedy. The strongest titanium cable was “sawed” by an unknown sea creature on great depth. By some miracle it didn't break. What kind of monster tried to "gnaw through" a metal cable at a depth of many kilometers?


Tepui is the only place on Earth where no human has set foot. What animals live on Tepui, what plants grow on Tepui - all this is a dark forest for us, since people have visited only some Tepui. And most of Tepui is absolutely unexplored!
They become not only a source of legends and scary stories, but also a subject of creativity for science fiction artists.


Tepui, or tepui - mesas located in the Guiana Highlands in South America, for the most part in the territory of Venezuela. Among the most famous tepui are Autana, Auyantepui and Mount Roraima. Many tepui are located in the Venezuelan national park Canaima, which has the status of an object world heritage UNESCO.

The word "tepui" in the language of the Pemon Indians, who inhabit the Gran Sabana region, means "house of the gods." Tepui are for the most part isolated from each other, towering above the jungle with hard-to-reach cliffs, which makes them carriers of a unique set of endemic plants and animals.


Tepui are the remnants of a vast plateau that once stretched from the coast Atlantic Ocean to the borders of the Amazon, Orinoco and Rio Negro basins.

The plateau formed on the site of the lake about 200 million years ago, when South America and Africa still formed a single continent. The plateau consisted of sandstone and was located on a granite base; over time, erosion turned the plateau into several monadnocks, from which tepui were formed, covered with erosion-resistant rocks.


As a rule, tepui consist of a single block of Precambrian sandstone or quartzite, which soars sharply above the surrounding jungle to heights of more than 2000 m. 300 m, formed during the collapse of the arches of tunnels of underground rivers.



German explorer Robert Schomburgk visited the area in 1835. He was struck by mesas, but attempts to climb one of them were unsuccessful. It wasn't until almost half a century later, in 1884, that a British expedition led by Everard Im Turn managed to climb to the top of Mount Roraima.

However, it was the report of the expedition of Robert Schomburgk to the tepui region that inspired the writer Arthur Conan Doyle to write the novel The Lost World about the discovery of a plateau inhabited by prehistoric species of animals and plants.



As in the lowland areas of the Llanos savannas, there are rainy and dry seasons on tepui. From 2 to 4 thousand mm of rain falls annually. Altitude also influences the climate - at the highest tepui temperatures can drop to 0 °C, however, as a rule, the average thermometer reading at the peaks is between 8 and 20 °C, depending on the altitude. Soils are predominantly oligotrophic (low in nutrients).


The plateau of the mountains is completely isolated from the forest at the foot, which makes them "ecological islands" on which endemic species of flora and fauna have been preserved, developing in isolation for thousands of years. On wooded high plateaus, a wide variety of representatives of the orchid and bromeliad families grows, and carnivorous plants are also common.




The highest tepui, Pico de Neblina (3,014 m), is located in Brazil. The next three in height are Pico Phelps (2,992 m), Roraima (2,810 m), located at the point of convergence of the borders of Brazil, Venezuela and Guyana, and Cerro Marahuaca (2,800 m).


View of Roraima from the Venezuelan plateau.

Roraima is the tallest tepui in Venezuela. Its height is 2810 meters, and the top - a plateau with an area of ​​34 km² - is completely covered with dense vegetation, bizarre stones, steep depressions, caves, small lakes and swamps. Local Indians call Mount Roraima “the navel of the earth” and believe that the progenitor of the human race, the goddess Queen, lives on its top.


Cerro Ichun, located near the Brazilian-Venezuelan border, has largest area plateau (3,260 km²) and a height of 1,400 m.
Auyantepui is the largest of the tepui, the surface area of ​​the plateau is 700 km². From this mountain falls Angel - the most high waterfall in the world.




Tepui Matavi, also known as Kukenan due to the fact that the source of the Kukenan River is located on the plateau.


Autana rises 1300 m above the forest and is riddled with a cave that runs from one side to the other.
Tepui Sarisarinyama, famous for almost round funnels with a depth and diameter of about 350 m, at the bottom of which unique plants grow.



Kukenan tepui

The biggest nature reserve Venezuela, national park Canaima, was founded in 1962 and is considered the oldest part of the Earth, whose age exceeds 2 million years. This lost world, as if accidentally preserved as it was many millions of years ago, is visited daily by thousands of tourists.


Also, many other less known, but no less beautiful tepui, are located in the Canaima National Park, which lies in the southeastern part of Venezuela, at the junction of Brazil and Guyana. A reserve that stores priceless treasures on its territory natural resources, is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.


The nature of the Canaima National Park is extremely diverse and unique. In addition to majestic mesas hung with beautiful waterfalls, in the park you can see rare species of flora and fauna that are found exclusively in this area. For example, carnivorous plants that lure insects into their beautiful fragrant traps and eat them. The foothills and slopes of the mountains are surrounded by cloud-covered forests, in which exquisite bromeliads and orchids stand out as bright spots.


On the tops of the tepui, herbs and shrubs grow luxuriantly. The fauna of the Venezuelan park is no less rich - monkeys of various sizes and species, jaguars, giant ants and many small animals are found here. But greatest variety species boasts the world of birds that live in large numbers in this rich land.



In Canaima National Park, vacationers are offered exciting excursions by canoe on the lagoon into which four waterfalls flow. Two of them - Golondrina and Ukaima - can be seen by canoeing, and under the other two - Acha and Sapo - there is a path along which you can walk inside the waterfall between the raging stream of water and the rock.

You can go to one of the most spectacular sights of the park - Angel Falls, excursions to which are carried out either by boat or by plane. If you go on a boat tour, along the way you can see picturesque island Orchids.


Those wishing to get to know the life of the natives of these lands better can go to the northern part of Canaima, where the settlement of the Pemon Indians is located. It provides a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in an unknown culture, communicate with the natives, get acquainted with their rituals, traditions, legends and way of life, which has been preserved since ancient times.



Among other things, this area is shrouded in a halo of secrets and mysteries, which are told not only by ancient legends and myths, but also by the reports of several expeditions organized by brave explorers. The last major official expedition in these hard-to-reach places, namely Mount Roraima, was formed in 1965 by the son of the famous Juan Angel, the discoverer of the world's highest waterfall.


The expedition diary describes wonderful world, in which the flat surface of the mountain top is covered with bizarre hills, shaped like mushrooms, unusual depressions filled with water are scattered everywhere, and besides already known to science animals, an unusual creature was discovered, which was named Cadborosaurus.

The previously unseen beast had the head of a horse and the body of a snake with humps on its back. Frogs hatching eggs, bloodsucking insects, which were not affected by any chemical means of protection, giant ants more than 5 cm long, capable of biting small tree branches with their steel teeth, were also found here.


The biggest discovery for scientists was the discovery of the remains of ancient animals that until recently lived in these places. There is an assumption that they died as a result of experiments by aliens. Scientists were led to such a guess by a large round area discovered by the expedition, devoid of vegetation and completely strewn with silvery powder of unknown origin. Later, laboratory studies showed that this is an alloy of the rarest metals, which is simply unrealistic to create under earthly conditions.


When examining the caves, the researchers found a large number of rock paintings depicting fantastic animals and creatures that are remotely similar to people. The expedition members also discovered several crypts, inside of which there was a thick fog and a sweet smell hovered. Some team members, having inhaled this strange aroma, fell into a coma for several days, and when they woke up, they told their colleagues about incredible visions and travels to other worlds.




After this incident, it was decided to return back, but then a new surprise awaited the travelers: they could not find a way out of this enchanted world, as if some mysterious forces prevented this in every possible way.

Only a few months later, exhausted by the search for a way out, people managed to return home. They claim that they were helped by some unknown force, which picked them up and slowly lowered them to central square one of the Indian settlements.








When the scientists finally got to civilization, it turned out that the families had long since lost hope of their return: after all, the expedition, which, according to the plan, was supposed to return after several months of work, had been absent for four years.



Long time in this region expeditions were not organized, but today this lost world, which previously instilled fear in people, is visited daily by several dozen adventurers. Only for safety reasons it is advisable to make the ascent accompanied by an experienced guide.




























The HIGHEST IN THE WORLD is Angel Falls, its height is 1054 m (according to other sources - 979 m). Angel Falls (in English - Angel, local name - Churum-meru) is located on the river. Churum - a tributary of the river. Carrao (Orinoco river basin) in South America, in Venezuela.


Angel in translation into Russian means "angel". Although the names of waterfalls are usually very figurative and poetic, this waterfall is not named by an angel in honor of biblical angels and not because of its "proximity to heaven."

The giant of the 1st magnitude bears the name of its discoverer, the Venezuelan pilot Juan Angel, while the Indians called the waterfall Apemey or the Maiden's Eyebrow. Angel Falls, more than a kilometer high, was discovered relatively recently - in 1935. This proves how much our beautiful planet Earth.


How could such a phenomenal miracle of nature - a vertical stream of water a mile high - be hidden from mankind throughout history? The fact is that Angel is located in one of the most remote and inaccessible corners of the earth. southeastern part Venezuela - mountain range Auyan-Tepui (Devil's Mountain) is composed of porous sandstones, has a height of up to 2600 m, abruptly breaks off with a sheer rock wall. The approaches to the wall are blocked by the selva - a dense tropical forest.


What was Angel looking for there? In the 1930s, a "diamond rush" broke out in Venezuela. Hundreds of adventurers, greedy businessmen, and simply the poor rushed into the impenetrable jungle. Angel bought a small sports plane and flew to the Auyan Tepui massif. In those places, the tops of the mesas are often covered with clouds. Angel flew in clear weather and was the first to see a kilometer-long water vertical.

It turned out that the waterfall did not fall from the very edge of the highland ledge. The Churum River "sawed through" the upper edge of the cliff and falls 80-100 m below its edge. Water consumption-300 sq.m/s.


Juan Angel (Angel) did not discover diamond deposits. Others have done it. He had an accident (the plane nosed over) and was literally saved by a miracle. He landed in the very place that Conan Doyle chose to unfold the events of his famous novel"Lost World". Reaching the nearest post office, Angel reported his discovery to the National geographical society United States, and his name is now on all the maps of the world.

On Latin American maps, the waterfall is often referred to as Salto Angel, i.e. "angel's jump". Last years the discoverer spent his life in Venezuela, in the state of Ciudad Bolivar, died in 1956. According to the will of Angel, his ashes were scattered over the waterfall named after him.


How much the term "miracle" in relation to the surviving pilot Angel is not an exaggeration can be judged by the fact that fourteen years later, in 1949, a group of American and Venezuelan surveyors consisting of five people barely made their way through the selva to the waterfall, as the wild forest was completely intertwined with lianas and lush shrub vegetation.

I had to continuously cut through the road with machetes and axes. The expedition spent... nineteen days to overcome the last 36 km! But the game was worth the candle. What the members of the expedition saw, none of them will be forgotten until the end of their days.


The most vivid description of the waterfall - perhaps the best in world literature - belongs to the chairman of the Soviet Peace Committee Yu. A. Zhukov, who surveyed Angel Falls from an airplane in April 1971. "The pilot flies his plane close, close to him. Before us is incredibly high - a kilometer!—an elastic foamy-white water column—a taut jet of stream plunges from the plateau into an abyss, at the bottom of which the Churum River revives, whose flow was interrupted by this crazy water jump...
We have already heard and read that the height of the water fall here is so great that the stream, before reaching the bottom of the abyss, turns into water dust, which settles on the stones as rain. But one had to see it in order to imagine all the originality of the spectacle that presented itself: somewhere below, at a distance of about three hundred meters from the bottom of the abyss, a powerful, resilient, boiling stream suddenly seemed to melt and break off in the fog.

And even lower, as if born out of nothing, the river was seething... How I would like to approach the waterfall not by plane, but on the ground - to stand near it, listen to its roar, breathe in the smell of water falling from the skies! But this is impossible...".

On our planet, oddly enough, there are still places that are still in complete isolation from civilization.
Tristan Da Cunha
Tristan Da Cunha is an archipelago of small islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. The nearest continent, located at a distance of 1700 miles from it - South Africa. The island belongs to the UK and today its population is 271 people.
Motuo area


Motuo is the only place in China where there is still no road. Before getting here, the tourist will have to overcome the snowy Himalayas, and then walk along the 200-meter suspension bridge. This Tibetan region has not been touched by civilization. Motuo is known for its unusual beauty and virgin nature.
Alert, Nunavut, Canada


In Canada, there is a small village of Alert - it is 500 miles from the North Pole. By right, it is considered the northernmost, most "inhospitable" and most uninhabited area in the world. Due to its location, the day lasts a whole day in summer, and night in winter.
Pitcairn Island


The island is a small piece of land in the South Pacific Ocean. Its closest "neighbors" are Tahiti and Gambier. This remote area is a British colony in the Pacific Ocean. The island is inhabited by only 50 people. Airplanes do not fly here and the only means of transportation is a sea vessel from New Zealand.
Ittokkoturmiit, Greenland


Greenland is the largest island at 836,000 square miles but has a population of 57,000.
Kerguelen Islands


Due to their isolation, these southern indian ocean the islands are also called "The Lonely Islands". Airplanes do not fly there, you can only get to the islands by sea ​​vessels. The Kerguelen Islands are uninhabited, but French scientists sometimes land on them - there are research centers on the islands.
Cape York

Australia is known for the beauty of its virgin nature and low population density. This is noticeable especially in the north of the continent - on the Cape York Peninsula. Its population is 18 thousand people, as a rule, these are natives of Aboriginal tribes. The peninsula is famous among adventurers.
Mac Murdo, Antarctica


Antarctica is one of famous places. There is no local residents, only a few centers of international studies are functioning. The largest of them is called Mac Murdo and is located on Ross Island.
La Rinconada, Peru


The town of La Rinconada is located in Peru at an altitude of 17,000 feet. This location made it isolated from all the benefits of civilization. La Rinconada is surrounded by permanent permafrost. Despite this, its population is 30 thousand people, most of whom mine gold.
Easter Island


Easter Island is located 2,000 miles west of Chile - this tiny island in the vastness of the Pacific Ocean is known for its isolation. Its area is 70 sq. miles and a population of only 4,000 people. The island is famous for its stone sculptures - Moai.

Today, many scientists are trying to unravel all the secrets of our world, but there are a huge number of places that were formed for an indefinite reason, as well as mythical and mysterious territories that defy any logic, and even more so scientific facts.

To begin with, let's look at a few little-known cities that keep a century-long and interesting history.

  • In the center of the Pacific Ocean there is a certain island-city of Nan Mazol, formed from volcanic rocks.

No one knows how this city appeared and it seems strange. This abandoned stone city It is a huge building without windows and doors with a height of famous pyramid Cheops. By appearance the city reminds big volcano. Many people think that this place was previously inhabited by giants, who built this structure.

  • IN Chelyabinsk region there is a certain mystical city of Arkaim, which changes the lives of people who find themselves in this unique place.

This ancient city must accept its visitor. There are legends that once visiting this mystical part of Russia, people perceive their life in a different way and begin to change it. Also, all the diseases that a person had up to this point disappear after visiting this city in a completely inexplicable way.

  • present in our world and anomalous zones, where people hear and see a variety of objects, sounds, unthinkable phenomena occur.

Among such places can be called the city of Kyzylkum in Central Asia, the Moleb Triangle in Russia, the famous Loch Ness in Scotland, the Mexican town of Chavinda, the Czech catacombs and many other territories unknown to science.

In addition, the world can see so much Beautiful places, which can not be compared with anything, but tourists just do not know about the existence of these amazing natural beauties.

  • lovely sand dunes, which were nicknamed The Wave for their appearance.

This miracle of nature is located in the United States, between the states of Utah and Arizona. You will never forget such a desert.

  • Another the most beautiful place is a small body of water in Brazil. Its name corresponds to the sensations - the Enchanted Well. It is located in a cave in the state of Bahia. The pond is filled with the purest clear water through which the sun's rays penetrate, piercing this well to the very bottom with a blue glow.

  • Geothermal geyser Fly of indescribable beauty, covered with colorful rocks.

This source is located in the state of Nevada, USA. This formation reaches a height of 1.5 meters, but every year the geyser increases, accumulating more and more iridescent layers.

  • Another no less interesting and charming place is the big blue spot in the Atlantic Ocean.

This amazing place nicknamed the Great Blue Hole that formed inside Lighthouse Reef, owned by the state Belize. Actually it's deep sinkhole, which divers from all over the world love to explore.

  • One of the least known places on Earth is the island of Socotra, located in the Indian Ocean.

The territory of this island is full of absolutely unique nature. The trees that grow on Socotra you will not be able to find anywhere else. The tourist flow to this area is so small that nature remains almost untouched, which is very rare these days. You seem to find yourself in another world that needs to be explored from the very beginning. Its name translates as the Island of Happiness. The cleanest ecology reigns here, there are no hotels, highways and expensive restaurants.

  • In Canada, there is a one-of-a-kind Spotted Lake that enchants the eye.

This is the healing lake Kliluk, which conquered the world with its beauty and became famous for its large concentration of various minerals, which create peculiar circles of a certain color on the surface. During the summer, some minerals crystallize, forming solid formations around the patches that you can walk on.

  • The dry valleys of Antarctica are also considered an amazing place.

This place is the only dry area among the Antarctic glaciers. There is no precipitation here, and the climate, according to scientists, is as close as possible to the climate of Mars. Frozen was found in the valleys salt Lake, in which previously unknown organisms and bacteria were found, which theoretically confirms the possibility of life on Mars.

Of course, one can list such beauties almost endlessly, since humanity does not even know half of all possible natural phenomena, which cannot be explained using existing technologies on this moment. All corners of the world deserve special attention, but one article is not limited here. Do not stop only at the proposed options for the most popular places, because you can skip a lot of unique areas where no human foot has set foot before!
