From the tops of mountains to the depths of the oceans, and many place in between, join me as I reveal to you 8 of the most difficult places to get to in the world.
8. Mt. Everest
So, shall we go to the top of the world together? Figuratively speaking of course. When it comes to adventures and "once-in-a-lifetime experiences", there are few that top the wonders of climbing Mt. Everest.
7. Mariana Trench ( neverwinter)
If you're looking for a place that only a literal handful of people have been to, you need not look to the skies, but to the oceans below. As a whole, the ocean has been explored by a great deal of people. From basic swimmers, to scuba divers, to marine biologists, to Navy and Marine personnel, and more from various countries. However, when it comes to the deepest and darkest depths of the ocean, there haven't been as many people there as you would think, this goes double, or maybe even triple, for the space known as the Mariana Trench.
6. The Darien Gap
Allow me to give you a bit of a geography lesson. In the western hemisphere, there is a series of roads that stretch from the northern side of Alaska, all the way down to the very southern tip of South America. This is called the Pan-American Highway, and it's 19,000 miles long. The road is 99.5% unbroken, meaning that you can get down said road without much issue. So that begs the question of that .5%. What is it's problem? Well, that is called the Darien Gap, and it's a place where few know what's truly in there.
5. Fort Knox
What? I never said that we wouldn't be talking about specific buildings that would be difficult to get into! And when it comes to near impenetrable buildings to try and break into, Fort Knox is one that is designed to repel all sorts of attempts.
And that's honestly for a very basic and simple reason. Mainly, this is the main gold reserve for the United States (though to be clear there are others scattered across the country, don't put your eggs into one basket and all that).
4. Papua New Guinea
There are certain countries in the world that are havens for life in general, and due to their terrain, are very hard to get to as a result. Which also makes them difficult to explore as a whole. Papua New Guinea is one of the countries that fits this mold to a T. In fact, it's actually labeled as one of the least explored countries in the world today. Which is interesting considering all the modern advances that we have made available to us.
3. Antarctica
If you look at our world today, you're going to see many places that you can go to and explore without much effort, mainly because 6 of the 7 continents have plenty of access points to get through and go to if you need to. The one that doesn't have all of that is Antarctica. This is honestly a bit of an oxymoron because Antarctica in regards to its size is rather massive. We're talking 5.4 million square miles of land. And while humans don't take part in living there, there are plenty of animals that are there. Such as Penguins, seals, and a whole bunch of invertebrate animals.
Now, that isn't to say that we haven't tried to explore Antarctica. There have been many expeditions to the continent, and some stations have even been set up there. But, because of the freezing cold temperatures, dangerous winds, thin ice, and the wildlife, it can near impossible to go and do exploring in a wide area.
What's more, it's not like a lot of commercial vessels like to go to Antarctica. It's freezing down there! So if you wanted to go, you'd have to get a private ride, which can be very expensive, or you go down with a scientist team, which will only go down there via special and less-threatening times of the year.
So if you think about it, there's a big reason why Antarctica is most unexplored, because unless you have a reason to go there, you really shouldn't go there.
2. Tromelin Island
Technically speaking, you could put many islands on this list and list them as hard to get to, but when it comes to Tromelin Island, it's a bit of a different story. Mainly because this is a very small and very flat island that lies to the east of Madagascar. Nothing odd there, right? But technically, there are two very different owners of the island. One is France, which is listed as the country of owning, but because of a clause in the articles that declare the island theirs, there's another "owner" in the form of the Mauritius. There have been many disputes over the years over who truly owns the island and who doesn't.
1. Tristan Da Cunha
There is a town in the world called Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, also known as Tristan Da Cunha, and it too is one of the most isolated places in the world today..
