Humans have achieved a lot; they have seen every single corner of this Earth and even touched the universe. Still, there are few places they haven’t set foot in or seen yet. Let’s discuss them all in detail.
Despite all the technology we have now, it is difficult to imagine. There are still places on our planet not touched by humans until now. Many places are not visited simply because no one is particularly interested in going there, i.e., there is nothing special about them.
We are not considering those in our discussion. One example is the strip of islands in Fiji, which comprises more than 300 islands, many still not visited by anyone. This is understood given the very little difference between the islands.
Below are five notable places on Earth where no human has ever set foot. This list is not exhaustive and is only meant to highlight the most recognizable ones.
The Forest Lake, Russia
Located within a vast forest in Russia, the exact location of this mysterious lake remains unknown. And to add to the intrigue, nobody is sure how the lake, which lies in dense rainforest, was created. We can marvel at its beauty and mystery from above, thanks to air photography.
The Namib Desert– Humans Untouched
The Namib Desert is one of the aridest regions in the world. It only gets two millimeters of rain on average every year. It is believed to be the oldest desert on Earth. Thirty-one thousand square mile region is uninhabited except for a few native groups.
Northern Forest Complex, Myanmar
The Northern Forest Complex in Myanmar remains one of the largest areas of untouched wilderness in Southern Asia: the heart of the forest is almost 14,000 km2. The lowland forests, where majestic snow-covered mountain peaks can be seen through the treetops, are breathtaking.
In addition to unspoiled nature, the region boasts the wealthiest biodiversity. The complex is the world’s largest reserve, home to tigers and numerous species of elephants and birds. People do not live in the forest but along the complex’s perimeter.
Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
The largest cave in the world is set in the heart of the Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park. The Quang Binh province of Central Vietnam contains its river and jungle. At more than 5.5 miles long, it’s hard to believe this feat of nature went utterly unnoticed until 2009-2010. When the British Cave Research Association explored it and has only been open to the public since 2013. It remains pretty untouched, with fewer people seeing the inside of Hang Son Doong than having stood on the summit of Mount Everest!
Yucatan Cenotes Mexico
The Yucatan Cenotes are a vast cavern network situated in Mexico. A ‘cenote’ is a specific sort of cavern that is framed when limestone bedrock breakdowns. As you may expect, Caverns are probably the most neglected places on earth because it is so hard to get inside some of them. Portions of the Yucatan Cenotes are submerged, which makes it extra hard for possible explorations.
