Unexplored places. The most mysterious place on earth
There are many places in the world that attract and frighten with their mystery. People disappear there, things fly there, ghosts appear there. Scientists still cannot really understand these phenomena, sometimes explaining them as mass hallucinations, sometimes simply shrugging their shoulders. Let's talk about the 10 most mystical places on the planet.
Arkaim. This is a rather mysterious place. First of all, you need to be able to get here in the right way. According to beliefs in this mystical city, it is not enough just to buy a bus or train ticket. Here another aspect is much more important - will this place want to receive a guest? People come here not just attracted by an interest in antiquity. There are quite strange and unusual things going on here. So, you can spend the night on the top of the mountain, where it is quite cold and windy. At the same time, a thick sleeping bag will not be needed - all the same, a cold will not overcome. They say that all the diseases that sleep in the body and sometimes make themselves felt, come out in these places and never return to a person again. After visiting Arkaim, people literally begin to break down. The old life loses all meaning. The one who has been here begins to feel renewed, starting a lot with a clean slate. This ancient mystical city was found by Soviet archaeologists in 1987. It is located at the confluence of the Karaganka and Utyaganka rivers. This is in the Chelyabinsk region, south of Magnitogorsk. Among all the archaeological sites in Russia, this one is without a doubt the most mysterious. Once upon a time, the ancient Aryans built their fortress here. However, for some unknown reason, they left their home and left, finally burning it. It happened about 4 thousand years ago. But during this time the city practically did not collapse, another Aryan city, Sintashta, looks much worse. According to the plan, Arkaim looks like two rings of defensive structures inscribed one into the other. There are two circles of dwellings here, central square and again, a circular street, in which the flooring was wooden, and there was even a storm sewer. Four entrances to Arkaim were oriented to the cardinal points. There is no doubt that the city was built according to a clear plan. After all, all the ring lines here have a single center, where all the radial lines converge. In addition, the city also has a clear orientation to the stars. The fact is that it was not only built, but also lived taking into account astrological aspects. Arkaim is often compared with Stonehenge, but it would be more appropriate to compare it with Tommaso Campanella's City of the Sun. This philosopher was fond of astrology and dreamed of creating a society that would live according to the laws of the cosmos. The City of the Sun invented by him was to be built in the form of a ring, taking into account astrological calculations. The culture of the found city existed 38-40 centuries ago. This is consistent with the theory of settlement on the planet of the ancient Aryans. The legends of those times say that White race came to Europe from a sunken ship in the Northern Arctic Ocean mainland Arctida. Then the Aryans settled along the Volga and in the Urals, Northern Siberia. From there they crossed over to India and Persia. Thus, it is Russia that can be considered the cradle of two ancient world religions at once - Zoroastrianism and Hinduism. The Avesta and the Vedas came to Iran and India from us. As proof of this, one can cite the Avestan traditions, according to which the prophet Zarathustra was born somewhere in the foothills of the Urals.
Devil's Tower. This place is located in the US state of Wyoming. In fact, this is not a tower at all, but a rock. It consists of stone pillars, which seem to be made of bundles. The mountain has the right shape. It was formed 200 million years ago. For a long time it seemed to an outside observer that this mountain was of artificial origin. But a man could not build it in any way, therefore, the devil created it. In terms of its size, the Devil's Tower exceeds the pyramid of Cheops by 2.5 times! It is not surprising that the local population has always treated this place with awe and even fear. In addition, there were rumors that mysterious lights often appeared at the very top of the mountain. A variety of science fiction films are often filmed at the Devil's Tower. The most famous of them is Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. People climbed to the top of the mountain only twice. The first conqueror was a local resident in the 19th century, and the second was rock climber Jack Durrans in 1938. The plane cannot land there, and from the only platform suitable for helicopters, they are literally torn off by wind currents. The third conqueror of the summit set out to become an experienced skydiver George Hopkins. Although he was able to land successfully, but those ropes that were thrown to him from above deteriorated due to impact on sharp rocks. As a result, Hopkin became a real prisoner of the devil's rock. The news of this shook the whole country. Soon several dozen planes were already circling over the Tower, dropping equipment and food supplies for free. However, most of the parcels were broken on stones. Rats became another trouble for the skydiver. It turned out that there are quite a lot of them on the top of a smooth rock, impregnable from below. Every night the rodents became more aggressive and bolder. In the United States, a special committent was even created to save Hopkins. An experienced climber Ernst Field, along with his assistant, was called to help him. But already after 3 hours of climbing, the climbers were forced to abandon further rescue. Field said that this damn rock was simply too tough for them. This is how it turned out that the professionals conquering the eight-thousanders turned out to be powerless in front of a rock 390 meters high. The same Jack Durrans was found through the press. Two days later he was in place and decided to conquer the summit along the route known only to him. The climbers led by him were able to reach the summit and lower the unfortunate parachutist from there. The Devil's Tower held him captive for a whole week.
White Gods. In the north-east of the Moscow region there is a place called White Gods. It is located in the tract near the village of Vozdvizhenskoye, Sergiev-Posad district. It is worth going deep into the dense forest, as the correct stone hemisphere will appear before your eyes. Its diameter is 6 meters and its height is 3 meters. This place was mentioned in his notes famous traveler and geographer Semenov-Tyan-Shansky. Legends say that there was a pagan altar here in the XII-XIII centuries. His layout was somewhat similar to the English Stonehenge. There, by the way, according to some sources, sacrifices were also made to the gods. In the pantheon of the ancient gods, good was personified by Belbog. His idol was installed by the Magi on a hill, people prayed to him for protection from Chernobog - the personification of evil. The father of these two gods was Svantevit, the god of gods. All together they constituted the Triglav, or triune deity. Such was the image of the pagan system of the universe among the Slavs. Our ancient ancestors did not build their settlements anywhere. It was necessary to meet a number of conditions for this. Usually the Slavs tried to build near river bends so that groundwater, ring structures and geological faults were present. This is evidenced by images from space, as well as an analysis of the location of old settlements, churches and monasteries, as well as stories that mystical properties of nature are manifested in such places.
Hatteras. There are many mysterious and mystical substances in the Atlantic. One of them is Cape Hatteras. It is also called the South Atlantic Cemetery. The East Coast of the United States is generally quite dangerous for shipping. There are islands here called the Outer Banks or the Dunes of Virginia Dare. They are constantly changing their shape and size. This creates a difficulty for navigation even in weather with excellent visibility. In addition, there are often storms, fogs and swells. The local "southern fog" and the "soaring Gulf Stream" make navigation in these waters quite stressful and even deadly. Forecasters say that during a "normal" 8-point storm, the wave height here is as much as 13 meters. The Gulf Stream near the cape flows at a speed of about 70 kilometers per day. 12 miles from the cape are two-meter shoals of Diamond. There the famous current collides with the North Atlantic. This leads to the formation of a very surprising phenomenon, observed only in these places. During a storm, waves collide with a roar, and sand, shells and sea foam fly up in fountains to a height of 30 meters. Few managed to see such a spectacle live and then get out of there. The cape has many victims. One of the most famous is the American ship "Mormakkait". She sank here on October 7, 1954. Another well-known incident occurred with the Diamond Shoal lightship. It was tightly tied to the bottom with anchors, but strong storms pulled it out every time. As a result, the lighthouse turned out to be thrown over the dunes into Pamlico Bay. In 1942, in the end, he was shot from his guns by a Nazi submarine that unexpectedly surfaced here. Generally sandbanks during the Second World Steel favorite place for German submarines. There, divers bathed, lit up and even organized sporting events. And all this is under the very noses of the Americans. After resting, the Germans got into their boats and continued to hunt for Allied transports. As a result, in this area from January 1942 to 1945, 31 tankers, 42 transports, 2 passenger ships were sunk. The number of small vessels is generally difficult to calculate. The Germans themselves lost only 3 submarines here, all of them in April-June 1942. The terrible cape at that time became an ally for the Nazis. Those natural factors that interfered with American ships only helped submarines. True, shallow depths posed a danger to the Germans too.
Czech catacombs. In the city of Jihlava, in the Czech South Moravia, there are catacombs. These underground structures were created by man. This place has a mystical notoriety. The passages were dug here in the Middle Ages. They say that in one of the corridors at exactly midnight they begin to hear the sounds of the organ. Ghosts have been repeatedly met in the catacombs, and other supernatural phenomena have happened here. Scientists at the beginning rejected all these mystical occurrences as unscientific. However, over time, even they were forced to pay attention to the increasing evidence of something wrong going on underground. In 1996, a special archaeological expedition arrived in Jihlava. She made an interesting conclusion - the local catacombs hide such secrets that science simply cannot unravel. Scientists have recorded that in the place referred to in the legends, the sounds of the organ are indeed heard. At the same time, the underground passage is located at a depth of 10 meters; there is not a single room near it that could accommodate this musical instrument basically. So there can be no talk of random errors. Eyewitnesses were examined by psychologists who said there were no signs of a mass hallucination. But the main sensation told by archaeologists was the existence of a "glowing staircase". She was found in one of the hitherto little-known underground passages. Even the old-timers did not know that he existed at all. Samples of the material showed that there is no phosphorus in it. Witnesses say that the staircase does not stand out at first glance. However, over time, it begins to emit a mystical reddish-orange light. Even if you turn off the flashlight, the glow will still remain, and its intensity will not decrease.
Coral castle. This complex includes huge statues and megaliths whose total weight exceeds 1100 tons. They are folded here by hand, without the use of any machines. The castle is located in California. The complex has a square tower with two floors. She alone weighs 243 tons. There are also various buildings here, thick walls, a spiral staircase leads to the underground pool. There is also a map of Florida made of stones, hewn stones, a table created in the form of a heart, an accurate sundial, and stone Saturn and Mars. The moon, weighing 30 tons, with its horn points directly at polar star. As a result, a lot of interesting objects were placed on an area of 40 hectares. The author and creator of such an object was Edward Lidskalninsh, a Latvian emigrant. Perhaps his unrequited love for 16-year-old Agnes Skaffs pushed him to create the castle. The architect himself came to Florida in 1920. The mild climate of this place extended his life, because she was in danger due to progressive tuberculosis. Edward was a small man with a height of 152 centimeters and a weight of 45 kilograms. Although outwardly he seemed frail, he built his castle for 20 years alone. To do this, he dragged huge blocks of coral limestone here from the coast, and then created blocks from it. At the same time, he did not even have a jackhammer; the Latvian created all his tools from discarded car parts. It is rather difficult to understand now how the construction itself took place. It is not known how Edward moved and lifted multi-ton blocks in general. The fact is that the builder was also very secretive, preferring to work at night. The gloomy Edward let the guests into the places of his work extremely reluctantly. As soon as an unwanted guest got here, the host grew up behind him and stood there silently until the visitor left. One day, an active lawyer from Louisiana decided to build a Villa in the neighborhood. In response to this, Edward simply moved his entire brainchild 10 miles south. How he did it is a mystery. It is known that the builder hired a large truck for this. The car was seen by many witnesses. At the same time, no one saw how Edward himself or the builder loaded something there or unloaded it back. To the astonished questions about how he managed to transport his castle, he answered: "I discovered the secret of the pyramid builders!" In 1952, Lidskalninsh died unexpectedly, but not at all from tuberculosis, but from stomach cancer. After the death of the Latvian, parts of the diaries were found, which speak of the magnetism of the Earth and the control of cosmic energy flows. However, nothing was explained there. A few years after Edward's death, the American Society of Engineering decided to conduct an experiment. To do this, the most powerful bulldozer tried to budge one of the stone blocks that Edward did not have time to install. The car was unable to do so. As a result, the mystery of this entire structure and its movement remained unsolved.
Kyzylkum. Between the Syr Darya and Amu Darya rivers of Central Asia there are a number of anomalous areas that have not yet been explored. So, in the central part of Kyzylkum, in its mountains, strange rock paintings were found. There you can clearly see people in spacesuits and something very reminiscent of spaceships. In these places, UFOs are also often observed. A famous case occurred in November 1990. Then the employees of the Zarafshan cooperative "Ldinka", traveling at night along the Navoi-Zarafshan road, saw a long forty-meter cylindrical object in the sky. A strong, focused, well-defined cone-shaped beam descended from it to the ground. Expedition of ufologists found in Zarafshan interesting woman with supernatural powers. She stated that she was in constant contact with representatives alien civilization. In the spring of 1990, she received information that an unearthly flying object was destroyed in near-Earth orbit, and its remnants fell 30-40 kilometers from the city. Only half a year has passed and in September two local geologists, breaking up drilling profiles, stumbled upon spots of unknown origin. Their analysis showed that they cannot have an earthly origin. However, this information was immediately classified and no one has ever officially confirmed it.
Loch Ness. This Scottish lake has long attracted all lovers of mysticism and mysteries. The reservoir is located in the north of Great Britain, in Scotland. The area of Loch Ness is 56 km², its length is 37 kilometers. The maximum depth of the lake is 230 meters. The lake is part of the Caledonian Canal, which connects the western and eastern coasts of Scotland. The glory of this lake was brought by the mysterious large animal Nessie, supposedly living in it. Outwardly, it is very similar to a fossil lizard. Scientists have calculated that since the creation of the road on the shore of the lake in 1933, more than 4 thousand evidence of the appearance of monsters from the waters of the lake has been recorded. It was first seen in the 20th century by the McKays, owners of a local hotel. However, there are not only documented eyewitness accounts, science also has dozens of photographs, albeit fuzzy, there are underwater records and even echo sounder records. On them you can see in whole or in part one or more lizards with a long neck. Proponents of the existence of the monster cite a film shot in 1966 by British aviation officer Tim Dinsdale to prove their theory. There you can see how a huge animal swims in the water. Military experts only confirmed that the object moving through Loch Ness cannot be an artificial model. It is a living being moving at a speed of about 16 km/h. It is also believed that the lake area itself is a large anomalous zone. After all, UFOs were often observed here, the most famous evidence dates back to 1971, when alien "irons" flew here. Explorers do not leave the lake alone. So, in the summer of 1992, the entire Loch Ness was carefully scanned using sonar. The results were sensational. Wards of Dr. McAndrews said that at least several unusually huge living creatures were found underwater. It could have been dinosaurs that somehow survived to this day. The lake was also photographed with the help of laser equipment. The researchers said that the lizard living in the waters is unusually smart. Even a submarine was used to search for the monster. In 1969, the "Peasies" submersible, equipped with a sonar, descended into the water. Later, the Viperfish boat continued the search, and since 1995, the Time Machine submarine began to take part in the research. An important study in February 1997 was conducted by the military, led by Officer Edwards. They patrolled the water surface and used deep-sea sonars. A deep crevice was found at the bottom of the lake. It turned out that the cave has a width of 9 meters, and its maximum depth can reach 250 meters! Researchers want to find out further if this cave is part of an underwater tunnel connecting the lake to other bodies of water in the neighborhood. To find out, they are going to launch a whole batch of non-toxic dyes into the hole. Some of its particles will then be looked for in other reservoirs. The lake can be reached from London by train and from Inverness by bus or car. A whole extensive tourist infrastructure has been created around Loch Ness. There are many hotels and hotels here. You can even pitch a tent, but not on private land. In summer, the lake warms up enough to swim in it. But only Russian tourists dare to do this, who locals they just take you crazy.
Prayer Triangle. Between Sverdlovsk and Perm regions there is a geoanomalous zone on the banks of the Sylva. This triangle is opposite the village of Molebki. Discovered it strange place geologist from Perm Emil Bachurin. He found in the winter of 1983 in the snow an unusual round track with a diameter of 62 meters. Returning here in the fall of the following year, he saw a hemisphere glowing in blue in the forest. Further study of this place showed that there is a strong dowsing anomaly. Large black figures, luminous balls and other bodies were observed in the triangle. At the same time, these objects demonstrated reasonable behavior. They lined up in clear geometric shapes, watched the people exploring them, flew away when people approached them. In September 1999, another expedition of the Kosmopoisk group came here. They repeatedly heard extraneous sounds here. Researchers mention that they heard a running motor. There was a feeling that a car was about to roll out of the forest into the clearing, but it itself never appeared. And no trace of her was ever found. The Moleb triangle is generally quite famous among tourists and ufologists. In the early 90s, so many curious people began to come here that it became simply impossible to do any research here. The press began to mention more and more often that the Perm anomalous zone ceased to exist under the massive influence of people. That is why in recent years, interest in the mysterious triangle has declined markedly.
Chavinda. This unusual place located in Mexico. In Chavinda, according to the beliefs of local residents, there is a "crossing of the worlds." Therefore, no one is surprised that anomalous and mystical incidents occur more often in this area than in other places. In the 1990s, a sensational incident occurred here. Eyewitnesses say that it was a cloudless moonlit night. You didn't even need a flashlight to see what was going on around you. The treasure hunters suddenly heard a rider approaching them. He was in national costume. The rider told the frightened Mexicans that he saw them from the top of a distant mountain and rode here in 5 minutes. It was physically impossible! The treasure hunters abandoned their tools and fled in panic. When they came to their senses, they naturally doubted what they saw. The Mexicans soon began to search again. But it turned out that this was only the beginning! Their new cars began to break down, and within just one day they turned into old wrecks. No repair could stop this process. One of the cars was even no longer seen on the road by other drivers. Once she was even rammed by a truck, the driver of which watched in amazement as it crashed into an "invisible" car. Such mystical troubles continued until the Mexicans, who had not believed in anything before, were forced to give themselves a word that they would refuse to search for this treasure.
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 snow-covered Himalayas, and then walk along a 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 considered the most big island, occupying 836,000 square miles, but its population is 57,000 people.
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 are no local residents here, only a few international research centers operate. 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 vast 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.
Our vast planet is full of such places that impress with their unimaginable beauty and mystery. From time immemorial, people have always been attracted to themselves by the most. There are so many places on Earth where unimaginable events take place, and there are such amazing creatures that impress not only ordinary tourists, but also those who have met many scientists. Researchers are trying to find out more about what they see, but there are still no solutions to many questions, and mysterious riddles remain unrevealed.
Amazing buildings
The most mysterious and unexplored places are historical buildings about which there are various rumors and legends. And no one knows the reliable answer to the question of where they came from and in what century BC. It is very interesting to get answers to these questions, but when will it be possible? Someday people will find answers to these puzzling questions.
To understand how many such places and buildings are on our planet, we can give a whole list of specific examples.
stonehenge
This is the very first and probably the most famous attraction that does not have reliable information about its origin. The place where this building is located is called the county of Wiltshire, which is located in England. This monument of the world is considered the most mysterious. Around it, scientists and researchers make hundreds of assumptions that are not similar to each other. But, unfortunately, disputes do not move forward.
It is with its mysteriousness that this building attracts people from all over the world.
This stone structure evokes a variety of fantasies. Movies have even been filmed here. They say that this amazing miracle was created by extraordinary people with high development, who thus arranged memorial place those who died in their time. This theory - one of many - is confirmed by the fact that burials were indeed found near this place.
Underwater Pyramid of Yonaguni
This place is the most mysterious. From the name it is clear that it is located underground in the water. Scientists have found that this unusual building is about ten thousand years old. She is located in Japan. This place is especially memorable for those who love scuba diving. It was a diver who discovered these pyramids about twenty years ago.
Interestingly, one of the walls of this monument has a sharp cliff that goes to a depth of about thirty meters. Some scholars suggest that this monument was at first an ordinary rock, but then people transformed it, and subsequently it acquired such appearance which has now.
Nazca lines
Still incomprehensible and amazing are the Nazca lines, which are located in Peru, not far from the Nazca desert. From above, these drawings look especially neat and resemble certain pictograms that could hardly have appeared on their own. The clarity of these lines is due to the fact that they geographical location which means constantly dry season, kept them in their proper, one might say, untouched form. In addition to lines, here you can also observe images of various animals and insects, as well as other objects.
This most mysterious place in the world has been subjected to many assumptions by historians and archaeologists. They say that these amazing lines were created for the religious rites that the ancient Indians performed. Some believe that this is only evidence that huge looms were used in this place before.
New Grage Mound
No less mysterious is the mound, which is located near Ireland and has the name New Grange. This mound above the ground is 85 meters in diameter. And it reaches a height of about 11 meters. The most interesting thing about this mound is that although the roof is made of earth, which is overgrown with various grasses, the walls are not earthen, but stone, that is, they are made of quartz, which distinguishes this mound from all others and makes it unique.
They say that this building is about five thousand years old, of course, during this time the walls collapsed a little, but they are neat. It is also very interesting to find out exactly how this building looks inside. Only after going inside, you can immediately get into a long corridor that leads to a room located across.
This room consists of tall monoliths, holes in the walls, rings carved into the walls and other decorations, and there is also a large stone bowl. Many are surprised by what happens to the sun on the solstice in December. At this time, a thin ray of the sun literally penetrates inside this mound for just a few minutes. It is interesting that the sunbeam does not penetrate through the entrance, but through a small hole that is located above the entrance.
These Amazing places around the world they say that our history was preceded by important events when someone unknown built these monuments. Now people only have to find out the real origin of these buildings.
But no less interesting are also places that no one has created, they are so amazing that they simply lead to extraordinary admiration.
Beautiful and unusual places of the Earth
There are many places on Earth where you can admire the beautiful bewitching nature. It is in these places that the most incomprehensible and most inexplicable things happen. Here are just a few examples of this.
Salar de Uyuni
Describing the most mysterious places on Earth, one cannot fail to mention the sky, which gives the impression of being upside down. We can say that this is a natural mirror, which reaches ten thousand square meters in area.
Bolivia has a desert that is completely different from all the deserts that only exist on Earth. What is its superiority and difference? This desert is unusual in that it has collected many salt marshes. Therefore, we can say that it is not sandy, but salty. Surprisingly, there are also active volcanoes here, cacti grow here and there are geysers. It is really huge in size. But when the rainy season comes, it becomes even more extraordinary than it was before. During the rains, here on a dry lake, water practically does not soak into the ground, but creates a giant mirror. Many, having been there, say that it seems that the sky has turned upside down.
The end of the world
One of the most unusual places on our planet is the sea, namely the junction of two seas - the Baltic and the North. This place is located in Denmark, near the city of Skagen. The locals called this place the end of the world, since the junction of these seas is so clearly visible that it seems that one world ends and another begins.
This miracle is explained by the fact that in the waters of these two seas there are two separate currents of different densities. Therefore, they do not mix, but create a separate border, which is clearly visible.
Forest with crooked trees
Even more mysterious and inexplicable is the forest, in which trees of an unusual shape grow. This forest is located in Poland. It did not grow on its own, but was planted before the Second World War in the thirties of the twentieth century.
This forest has about four hundred trees that have a bend in the trunk in one direction, it looks so synchronously and smoothly that it is simply amazing. It is difficult to find a sensible explanation for such an unimaginable growth of pines. We can say that this attraction in Poland is one of the most memorable, so the state carefully guards it. It also assigned the status of a reserve to the forest.
Sable Island
Considering the most mysterious places on the planet, it is important to mention the island, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean. Interestingly, its dimensions are 42 meters by one and a half meters. But not only this is mysterious and surprising. It is more strange that ships cannot sail normally near it. According to statistics, about seven hundred ships have already been shipwrecked.
This fact is explained by the fact that this island is located in a not very good place. Namely, at the intersection of two currents, cold and warm, Labrador and Gulf Stream. These two different currents create constant strong storms near the island, which are characterized by heavy fog and high waves. For this reason, many sailors are simply unable to see a low flat island, which is barely visible from under the water.
It is also interesting that this island has the ability to move. It has been observed that Sable in the ocean can move at a speed of two hundred meters a year. It is surprising that not a single island can move faster in the ocean, and the ocean floor itself moves only a few millimeters a year. Therefore, it is also considered inexplicable.
It is also worth noting that the reason for this movement is that the island is under pressure from two sides. On the one hand, it erodes the ocean, and on the other hand, the current brings sand. Because of this, the island also not only changes its position, but also its size, either growing or decreasing. It is because of this that ship captains cannot be 100% sure where exactly this island is located, as well as what size it is.
Video about the most mysterious places in the world
These are the most mysterious places in the world. It's very interesting to know what's going on. When you notice how beautiful and mysterious everything is, then unique feelings arise.
You can learn all the most unknown on Earth and get to know it better not only by reading about it on the Internet, but also by visiting it personally. It is by seeing everything with your own eyes and by touching it that you can get an unforgettable experience.
The world today seems much smaller than it used to be. Globalization, improved means of communication, the Internet, have led to the fact that almost every corner of the globe has become accessible to man. But in the farthest corners of our planet, a few more godforsaken places have been preserved where no human foot has set foot. Most of them are extremely dangerous, but this does not mean that they are deserted. By the way, every year from 17 to 18 thousand new species are discovered by scientists since the end of World War II. According to some estimates, humanity still has to discover about 10 million new species before it can claim to have explored absolutely everything on Earth. Below you will find a list of 12 places on our planet that are still shrouded in mystery.
12. Gangkhar Puensum
Mount Gangkhar Puensum, 7570 meters high, is located on the border of Bhutan and China. She is considered the most high mountain in a world that no one has yet climbed. However, Gangkhar Puensum is not the explorer's paradise you might think. The mountain is unexplored for the reason that it is considered illegal to practice any form of mountaineering on it. What's more, any mountain over 6,000 meters in Bhutan is considered the home of holy spirits, and those who get hurt or trapped there can't hope to get help from the locals. The ban on climbing Mount Gangkhar Puensum has been in place for twenty years, and there are no plans to lift it.
11. Mulu, Borneo
Gunung Mulu boasts the largest cave system in the world, moreover, only 10% of them have been explored. Compared to most of the places on our list, Mulu is fairly easy to get to with daily flights, boats on the river, or on foot. Despite the relative ease of getting there, you will have to work hard not to get lost there, as most of the caves and jungles remain shrouded in a veil of secrets.
10. Namibia
Namibia is the most sparsely populated country in Africa. This is the only place on our list that includes the desert. The Kalahari Desert stretches through Namibia, Botswana and South Africa. Much of Namibia, especially the Kalahari, remains unexplored. Here, every explorer will find something interesting for himself, from amazing animals to incredible landscapes. In addition, Namibia became the first country on Earth to take environmental protection seriously by introducing relevant clauses into the country's Constitution. About 15% of the country's land is legally protected, which guarantees its purity and inviolability for the hands of those who are hungry for profit.
9. Greenland Ice Sheet
The Greenland Ice Sheet covers nearly 80% of Greenland and is over 3 kilometers thick. Only the Antarctic Ice Sheet is larger than it. As you might guess, it follows that he hides a sea of uncharted lands. In June 2014, scientists discovered a completely " new world”, Hidden from human eyes under the ice cap. They were shocked to find various irregularities and curvatures under the smooth ice surface. This once again proves that Greenland is fraught with much more than we think.
8. Kamchatka, Russia
Siberia, located in the north of Russia, is famous for its frosts. And although it makes up all 77% of the country's territory, only 27% of the total population is concentrated in this region. And although this entire zone has been little studied, its most mysterious area is the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in the northeast of Siberia. Only 300,000 people live here. The peninsula itself is teeming with geological wonders, including volcanoes, geysers, and amazing coves. The reasons for its little-studied are remoteness and harsh winters.
7. Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest remains largely unexplored due to its sheer size: spanning nine countries and covering an area of 5,500,000 square kilometers, it is considered the largest forest in the world. 10% of the species of our planet are concentrated in the Amazon forests, but scientists believe that most of them have yet to be discovered.
6. Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is not only one of the most unexplored places on the planet, but also one of the most at risk of being destroyed. It would be logical to study it while we still can. The reef faces a number of serious threats, such as the greenhouse effect and the warming of the oceans, as well as the irresponsibility of people. More than 900 islands and 2,500 reefs lie within its boundaries, which promises a huge field for research. Here, new species of animals are discovered every now and then, which proves how little we know about the ocean.
5. Papua New Guinea
Like much of the Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea is also great place for researchers. Despite the fact that several tribes live here, to a greater extent this is an absolutely unexplored territory. The dense vegetation here makes it incredibly difficult to trek through the jungle, and the lack of paved roads and limited infrastructure mean few tourists. Roughly speaking, about 2/3 of all types papua new guinea are endemic, which feeds the special desire of scientists to study this corner.
4. Myanmar
Myanmar, also known as Burma, has quite a lot of unexplored territory, despite the fact that a number of expeditions have been sent here over the past few years. The dangerous political situation in the country, which has persisted for the past 50 years, has served main reason the absence of tourists and scientists here, but since 2011 its borders have again become open to the public. Myanmar boasts 135 ethnic groups inhabiting its territory, rich history and culture, as well as rare animal species.
3. Rainforests of the Congo
And although the Amazon jungle is much larger, the rainforests of the Congo are much less explored. The Congo Basin, which covers as much as 15% of the entire territory of Africa, serves as an enticing place for both locals and foreigners. Local tribes tell legends about dinosaur-like creatures sneaking through the thickets of the Congo, and visiting tourists are interested in the tribes themselves, among which the Bantu people make up the majority. The first exploration of this region dates back to 1876, when Henry Morton Stanley spent three years in the local forests, walking more than 9,000 kilometers, but even despite his travels, this area still remains a mystery.
2. Lake Vostok, Antarctica
Antarctica remains a mystery even in the 21st century. Most of the expeditions heading here depart from Tierra del Fuego in Argentina (one of the most southern points countries). One of the most intriguing places in Antarctica is Lake Vostok. Located in the east of the continent, this lake was covered with ice about 15-25 million years ago, making it an excellent source of fossils from that era. And although the lake itself was discovered in 1993, it has not yet been fully explored.
1. Mariana Trench
While we know almost nothing about the oceans, the Mariana Trench is an even more mysterious place. Her most deep place is the "Challenger Abyss", the depth of which reaches 11 thousand meters. It is home to strange and unique creatures, accustomed to enormous water pressure and extreme temperatures, such as monkfish. This place is the most unexplored on our planet.
There are so few places left on Earth where man has not yet been able to visit. New technologies, images taken from satellites, modern equipment and equipment - all this has led to the fact that it is now almost impossible to visit some unexplored territories where civilization has not yet reached. Therefore, TravelAsk decided to show you the most interesting places that have not yet been fully explored.
Namuli mountains
The north of Mozambique is covered by the most unexplored plains of the East African plateau. This place is very picturesque and unusually romantic, but for the most part, the study of this territory is subject only to professional rock climbers.
Javari Valley
In this region of Brazil, about 14 of the most isolated tribes can be distinguished, which have absolutely no contact with the civilized world. Their right to live in isolation is protected by a special government organization, and the territory under their jurisdiction is commensurate with Austria.
Northern Patagonia
The Chilean rainforests include glaciers, warm springs and fjords. Such a sparsely populated region of the country as the North, demonstrates to its visitors the most delightful and amazing beauties in the world. Let it be extremely difficult to get to this place, but it is definitely worth it.
Kamchatka
This Russian peninsula is an extraordinary place that is practically unexplored. Kamchatka has an incredibly rich nature, in addition, its territory has over 300 volcanoes. The population of the peninsula is small - about 400,000.
Fault of the New Hebrides
IN pacific ocean, in the east off the Australian coast is the mysterious fault of the New Hebrides, which began to be studied quite recently. The robots that were sent to the bottom of this crack revealed a huge number of inhabitants of the underwater depths, which had not yet been known to science and had not been found anywhere.
northern woodland
There are many tropical forests in Myanmar, whose wealth has not been touched by the destructive activities of man. So, in the state of Kachin there are forests, in the depths of which a very large population of tigers lives, the largest in the world. In addition to them, you can meet red pandas, rare species of gibbons and wild bears here.
Tsingy de Bemaraha
That's what the big one is called. national park Madagascar, whose territory extends over more than one and a half thousand square kilometers. You can spend months in the reserve, but never see it in its entirety. Here, various types of plants and inhabitants of the animal world are represented in abundance, which scientists have classified as endemic. Also, in their opinion, many "local residents" are still hidden, they have yet to be discovered. The reserve is not completely open for tourists; passage is prohibited in most of its parts.
Namib
The name of this desert place in Namibia fully justifies the content. Namib means a completely empty area where there is nothing. It is noteworthy that eighty million years ago dinosaurs lived here. This desert is the oldest and driest in the world, but despite this, there is still life here. On its territories there are extensive deposits of uranium and tungsten ore.
Star Mountains
A kilometer-high limestone mountain called the Hindenburg Wall can be designated as one of the most important sights of Papua New Guinea. This mountain, turning into a giant plateau, hides on its territory places that have been preserved in their original form since the emergence of the ecosystem. The researchers, who recently reached the local lands, discovered a huge number of previously unknown species of both the animal and plant world.
Greenland
Greenland is rich in its hidden territories, only in 1999, as many as 6 new islands were discovered, where no one had been before. A huge part of the mainland is still uninhabited. Ice here covers about eighty percent of the land.
fiordland
This New Zealand national park was once created by glaciers and is now considered the largest in the country. Its territories are among the wildest places on the planet. A huge number of rare species of animals live here. For example, scientists have found here takahe, belonging to the species of flightless birds, and yet they were considered extinct for more than a century.
North Sentinel Island
Local Indian territories are home to the Sentinelese. The number of this small people is 50-400 people. Aboriginal people have no contact with outsiders and may even attack them, which is why the island is so poorly explored to this day.
Shondong Cave
The cave of the Vietnamese province of Quang Binh hides in its depths huge halls 200 meters high and one and a half hundred meters wide. On this moment This cave is recognized as the largest in the world. Shondong has holes through which sunlight enters it, giving life to plants that have grown to the size of the jungle. Insects, various birds and even monkeys live on trees.
Cape Melville
Cape Melville is located in Australia, near Brisbane. These places are so wild that it seems possible to see what is happening here only using a helicopter, and this makes it difficult for scientists to conduct the necessary research. But even in this way, it is possible to constantly find new animals there, the last three species were discovered relatively recently - in 2013.
Saha Republic
One more section of our vast homeland can be listed among the little-studied. The Republic of Sakha, located beyond the Arctic Circle, occupies an area no less than. More extreme climate than here on Earth, perhaps, does not exist. However, many animals, plants, and even tribes live in these permafrost conditions.
