In Russia, you’ll find the Siberian Sakha Republic. It’s pretty massive and covers about 20 percent of Russia, and a large portion of it is located directly above the Arctic Circle. For the sake of comparison, that is the size of India. Because of its extreme climate, it’s pretty remote and a lot of it remains unexplored. In January, for example, t...
There are still a variety of uncontacted tribes in South America. In Vale Do Javari, Brazil, there are over a dozen of them. Vale Do Javari is one of the most isolated places not just in South America — but in the world. There are roughly 2000 native peoples who live in this area, separate from the Brazilian government. The region they inhabit isn’...
In general, the ocean is the last unexplored resource on Earth, so it’s not surprising that there are swaths of it that have remained unseen. Mariana Trench is one of those places, located in the western part of the Pacific Ocean. Formed millions of years ago, the trench is the deepest part of the planet — literally. It’s estimated to be over 10,00...
You would think that humans have explored — and exploited — all of the forests there are to find on the planet. But surprisingly, there are a plethora of subtropical forests on the eastern slopes of the Himalayas that are pretty much unexplored. At an elevation of over 5000 meters, the forests here are home to a variety of wildlife, safe to roam fr...

It has the distinction of being the highest unclimbed mountain in the world — in fact it’s the 40th highest mountain overall. You’ll find it in Bhutan, and it has a staggering hight of over 7000 meters. It’s not ...
In Papua New Guinea you’ll find the Star Mountains, a massive mountain range that extends from the Indonesian border to the Hindenburg Range. The Hindenberg Wall is a series of limestone plateaus that is insanely high — a mile high, to be exact. This natural wonder remains largely unexplored, with unique ecosystems and natural species. A biological...
Caves are unsurprisingly unexplored places — they are often difficult or even dangerous to access and located in remote mountain ranges or regions all around the planet. Even underwater caves are often undisturbed by marine life because of unsafe conditions. The Yucatan Cenotes are one such example of unexplored caves. Cenotes result from limestone...
Madagascar itself was unexplored for a while, so the Tsingy De Bemaraha National Park, located on its western edge, is hardly revelatory as a largely undisturbed area. It is named for the limestone formations called “tsingy”, which is Malagasy for walking on tiptoes. The park is 600 square miles of wilderness. Its limestone came about over the proc...
Guess where most people have never traveled to? If you guessed Antartica, you’d be correct. Cold, barren and uninhabitable for much of recent memory, the continent is literally the coldest place on the planet. How cold? Between -10 and -30 degrees Celsius. In fact, the lowest recorded temperature on the continent was -89 degrees Celsius. In additio...
If you were to go to Northern Patagonia, Chile, you would find a sparsely populated and wild landscape. Highways have only recently made it accessible, and there are sections of roads that are still in the process of being paved. Here nature is largely untouched — there is a massive rainforest, many peaks, steppes, lakes, rivers, fjords, glaciers a...
