Eric Rolfs will tell you about top five
unexplored places on the Earth. Man has revealed earth’s many secrets with the
help of machines, vehicles, research and development. Most of the places on
earth are accessible now with improvement in infrastructure and technology. Eric Rolfs believes with so much advancement in technology still there is so
much to explore on earth.
1 – Caves
Deep, winding, dark, slippery and uninhabitable, the caves remains
one of the least explored and documented places on earth. Caving is very
popular in Australia, Italy, France, UK and United States etc. Hence most of
the caves currently documented are majorly from Europe, Asia, North America,
and Australia.
2 – Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon rainforest consist of 50% of the world’s rainforests.
The biodiversity of Amazon Rainforest is extremely vast as it supports numerous
types of plant species, birds and mammals. The climate and surroundings of
rainforest and the mysteries revolving around it have invoked the interests of
many large expeditions for explorations. However, its habitat has impeded
thorough exploration of this region.
3 – Antarctica
No one exactly knows what lies beneath the icy terrain of
Antarctica, with ice sheets almost 2 miles thick; it is also one of the coldest
places on earth. Scientists believe that there is a network of rivers, streams
and stony land makes up its geography. Recently, the discovery of some
sub-glacial lakes has opened a new chapter in Antarctica’s exploration.
4 – Mariana Trench & Deep Sea Ocean
The deepest and darkest place in the ocean is the 35,800 feet deep
Mariana Trench which is also one of the least explored places on earth. Due to
its depth and pressure of up to 1,000 atmospheres, we have not much knowledge
of the oceans & sea life. The study of ocean may help scientists that how
these sea creatures’ lives under such harsh conditions.
5 – Deserts
Very few explorations have been conducted on
Deserts because of the extremely harsh conditions for the survival of humans.
The desert exploration is very difficult due to the harsh conditions and the
explorers may die due to scarcity of water. Scientists and extreme adventurers
venture into deserts for research and thrill.
