There are tons of place on Earth where human beings have
yet to set foot and which are, most likely, still entirely the preserve
of wild animals. Many of them are so remote and inaccessible that
it would take a huge amount of time, effort and skill for us to reach and enjoy them.
The forest lake, Russia
The exact location of this mysterious lake is unknown. According
to some, it can be found in the Tyumen region of Russia. How did it come
to sit deep inside the forest? No one knows...
Tepui, Venezuela
The word ’Tepui’ means ’home of the gods’ in the language of the
indigenous people of Gran Sabana where these incredible, ominous natural
structures are located.
Honokohau Falls, Maui
This remote place is drenched in greenery. The mere sight of it gives
you a feeling of the exquisite beauty, majesty and mystery of the
natural world. Just imagine what it would be like to travel there.
Gangkhar Puensum, Bhutan
This is the highest mountain in the world which has not been conquered
by mankind. It’s located on disputed territory between Bhutan and China
and soars 7,570 metres into the sky.
Rock Islands, Palau
For modern human civilisation, the Rock Islands are a remote area of the
world we no virtually nothing about. However, at some point over the
past few thousand years, we can be certain that people have set foot
on them. We know this because archaeologists have found evidence
of so-called ’tiny people’ — an offshoot of humanity which apparently
had severely stunted growth — which used to live there.
Dallol, Ethiopia
Today, salt mining takes place in the vicinity of the Dallol Volcano,
so strictly speaking this isn’t an untouched area. But the immediate
area of the volcano is, of course, uninhabitable. Fascinatingly,
scientists believe the alien-like landscape of the volcano bears
a striking resemblance to the surface of Io, the violently volcanic moon
of the planet Jupiter.
