Unexplored Places on Earth

Humans have discovered many secrets of the earth. We have reached the moon’s surface and have explored other planets. However, still there are a number of places on Earth that have yet to be explored. Here is a list of a unexplored places on Earth.

Antarctica: Antarctica is the coldest place on earth. It is the driest, coldest, windiest continent on earth. The climate on this continent drastically changes between -10 degrees Celsius and -30 degrees Celsius under normal conditions. The lowest recorded temperature in Antarctica is -89 degrees Celsius. This harsh climate itself makes Antarctica one of the least-explored places on earth.

The Amazon Rainforest, South America: Covering a total area of 2.5 million square miles, the Amazon makes up half the total rainforests on earth. The rich biodiversity and presence of many rare species make the Amazon rainforest a focal area for scientific expeditions. But its size, and the difficulty of moving through the jungle, make it one of the least-explored places on earth.

Mariana Trench: Located in the western Pacific Ocean, the Mariana Trench is the deepest point on earth. The deepest point in the Mariana Trench is known as the Challenger Deep, named after the ship that discovered it, the HMS Challenger. The depth of this point is estimated to be 10,994 metres. Considering the depth and high pressure in the Mariana Trench, it’s a dangerous place to explore.

Greenland, Denmark: Greenland is the largest island in the world. It’s also a part of Denmark, which makes Denmark the northernmost country in the world. The Kaffeklunnen Island of Greenland is just 442 miles from the North Pole. Interestingly, 80% of Greenland is covered by ice. That’s the reason why so few people live there.

Gangkhar Puensum: It is the highest unclimbed mountain in the world. It is located in Bhutan. This mountain has a height of 7,570 metres, and it is the 40th highest mountain the world. As you know, even the highest peak, Mount Everest, has successfully been climbed by many people. But Gangkhar Puensum still remains unclimbed.
