Top 5 unexplored places in Earth

Man’s technological might has help him to penetrate into all corners of the Earth and into the space.

Man, however, has not left his footprints in some places of the Earth. Through this post, we attempt to tell you the Top 5 places in the Earth that is still Unexplored.

1. Northwest Siberia

Siberia constitutes almost all of Northern Asia, of which western Siberia is covered in ice while eastern and central Siberia consists of mountain ranges. Recently many research expeditions are conducted by scientists and geologists to study its environment and ecology, as most of the population is concentrated in western Siberia.

2. Caves

Deep, winding, dark, slippery and uninhabitable; caves also remain one of the least explored and documented places on earth. Caving is very popular in France, Italy, Australia, UK, United States etc. hence most of the caves currently documented are from Europe, Asia, North America, and Australia. However, China which has the highest limestone deposits in the world has very few explored caves. South America, Africa, Antarctica have not been explored to its maximum. The exact number of caves on Earth is still not known. Voronya Cave, Georgia the deepest known cave in the world too has not been completely explored due to its extremely inhospitable environment.

3. Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon rainforest contains 50% of the world’s rainforests. Its biodiversity is extremely vast as it supports numerous types of plant species and over 2,000 birds and mammals. Its climate and surroundings have invoked the interests of many large expeditions for explorations; however, its habitat has impeded thorough exploration of this region. About 2.5 million insect species and 438,000 species of plants have been officially documented with many left to be discovered.

4. Antartica


No one knows what exactly lies beneath the icy terrain of Antarctica, with ice sheets 2 miles thick, it is also the coldest place on earth. Scientists believe there is a network of rivers, streams and stony land makes up its geography. Recently, the discovery of sub-glacial lakes has opened a new chapter in Antarctica’s exploration. There are possibilities of these lakes harboring life forms which can be studied thus providing useful answers to scientists about life in outer space. The ocean floor below the Antarctic has not yet been explored.

5. Marina Trench

The deepest and darkest place in the ocean is the 35,800 feet deep Mariana Trench which is one of the least explored places on earth.  Due to its depth and pressure of up to 1,000 atmospheres, the deep is completely hostile to humans. Even though scientific development has increased man’s knowledge about deep sea life with discovery of many new varieties of deep-sea creatures on the ocean floor only 2% of the ocean floor has been explored, leaving a lot more to be discovered. A study of the deep-ocean life will help scientists to understand deep-sea creatures’ unique living patterns in harsh ocean conditions.

    They are not explored because maybe exploring in these 5 places would mean a matter of life and DEATH. Common?! Who would like to travel in Amazon if it’s known to be the home of gigantic Anacondas and other wild animals? Nor enjoy the literally freezing climate in Antartica? Only people with extremely high passion in adventure would go to this forbidden heavens.

    deta, but the Amazon sounds like the most doable.
