7 unexplored regions of the world
Travellers have explored the every corner of earth , climbed the loftiest mountains and visited the deepest lakes and yet there remains some unexplored corners on our planet earth
Here are top 7 unexplored of them part 1
1 - Northern Patagonia // chile
Northern Patagonia is a land of boundless natural beauty, breathtaking landscapes and is perhaps one of the few places in the world still left untouched by humankind.
Bordered by the Lakes and Volcanoes District to the North, Argentina to the east, Southern Patagonia to the South and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Northern Patagonia can be reached in a number of ways, the most common being through the Balmaceda airport, served by flights from Santiago. Other options include driving along the Carretera Austral, parts of which are connected by ferries, or taking the small plane that flies from Puerto Montt.
This enchanting and wild area, generously endowed with native forests, millennia-old glaciers, and outstanding adventures, awaits visitors all year round, although the weather is best between October and April.
2- Kamchatka // Russia
There are few places in the world that can enthral quite like Kamchatka, easily Russia's most scenically dramatic region. A vast volcanic peninsula that is almost entirely wilderness, Kamchatka is a place of extraordinary primal beauty, rushing rivers, hot springs and snow-capped peaks. Getting here takes time and effort, and exploring the region even more so, but few visitors leave anything other than awestruck.
Visitors to Kamchatka have traditionally been an intriguing mix of outdoorsy types and package tourists, both with deep pockets. Yet against all odds, Kamchatka has recently become viable for independent, relatively budget-conscious travellers.
The capital, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, may be gritty, but it enjoys an incredible setting and has its share of easily accessible activities, including lift skiing into late May and some very doable volcano climbs. Kamchatka may not be a budget destination yet, but no longer is it strictly the domain of tycoons.
3 - Northern Forest Complex // Myanmar
Spanning more than 12,000 square miles at the crossroads of India, Myanmar, and China, this vast landscape encompasses the highest mountain and the headwaters of the Irrawaddy and the Chindwin, the country’s most important river system, sustaining extensive rice farming that supports many local communities.
Four protected areas embrace one of the region’s largest remaining expanses of natural forest, which host some of the region's greatest biodiversity, including what are believed to be its best remaining populations of tigers and elephants.
These forests are also home to more than a million people who depend on the region's vast ecological resources, both inland and along the adjacent coastline.
4 - Southern Namibia
The Namib is estimated to be the world’s oldest desert, and it’s one of the driest, least-populated places in the world.
Dunes dominate the southern part of the harsh desert, and there are few paved roads. At 1256 feet tall, the giant Dune 7 is believed to be the tallest sand dune in the world.
5 - Son Doong Cave // Vietnam
The world’s largest cave contains its own river and even a jungle. At more than 5.5 miles long, it’s cavernous enough to house a skyscraper! The first expedition set off to explore this underground world in 2009 before being stymied by a 200-foot-tall wall of calcite inside.
6- Mount Namuli // Mozambique
This almost 8000-foot-tall peak is the largest of a series of mountains that have developed much like separate islands, with very different species making their homes on the different peaks. In 2014, a group of biologists and rock climbers teamed up to conduct fieldwork in the region, where rock climbing is sometimes the only way to get to unexplored habitats.
7- Sakha Republic // Russia
The Siberian Sakha Republic (also called Yakutia) covers 1/5 of Russia (about the same amount of land as India), with a large swath of the territory located above the Arctic Circle. Its climate is one of the world’s most extreme: Average temperatures in January are as low as -33 °F, and most of the land is covered by permafrost. Lichen and moss make it a favorite habitat for reindeer.
Though mining has taken its toll on the region’s pristine wilderness, parts of it remain untouched, like the Lena River Delta, a gorgeous refuge and breeding ground for wildlife.
These were some of the unexplored corners of earth .
We will be updating its next part very soon .
