Ten Incredible And Mysterious Places Around the World Untouched by Mankind
We often forget that there are still many spots on Earth where humankind has not set foot on. Many of these locations are remote and inaccessible. Most of the photographs taken are aerial views — since it is the closes we can come with these mysterious spaces. Their beauty is unmatched and obscure.
The forest lake, Russia: The exact location of this mysterious lake is unknown. According to some, it can be found in the Tyumen region of Russia. How did it come to sit deep inside the forest? No one knows...(img src)
Tepui, Venezuela: The word ’Tepui’ means ’home of the gods’ in the language of the indigenous people of Gran Sabana where these incredible, ominous natural structures are located. (img src: kn3 / blazepress / samsebemagellan)
Honokohau Falls, Maui: This remote place is drenched in greenery. The mere sight of it gives you a feeling of the exquisite beauty, majesty and mystery of the natural world. Just imagine what it would be like to travel there. (img src: media / mirkrasiv / eco)
The Amazon rainforest: This incredible, immense forest sprawls across nine different countries in South America: Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana. It’s so huge that mankind can never hope to explore all of it — or know everything that’s hiding there. (img src: lejournalinternational / schraubwerk / brasileiro)
Gangkhar Puensum, Bhutan: This is the highest mountain in the world which has not been conquered by mankind. It’s located on disputed territory between Bhutan and China and soars 7,570 metres into the sky. (img src: imgur / amazonaws / lh4)
Tsingy de Bemaraha, the ’stone forest’ of Madagascar:
These rocky projections and canyons formed over a period of a million years, predominantly under the ground in the form of huge caves. Over the years, monsoon rains washed away metre upon metre of limestone and thick layers of chalky sediment, creating this system of unique, mysterious looking natural bridges, spires and gorges which can reach up to 120 metres in depth.

Kerguelen Islands: Hidden away in the southern part of the vast Indian Ocean, these islands are extremely far away from their ’home’ country of France. No planes or tourists go there, and the only way to reach them is via boat from the island of Réunion, close to Madagascar. They might as well be part of Atlantis for all humanity knows about these hauntingly beautiful islands. (img src: )wikimedia / tomclarkblog)
Rock Islands, Palau: For modern human civilisation, the Rock Islands are a remote area of the world we know virtually nothing about. However, at some point over the past few thousand years, we can be certain that people have set foot on them. We know this because archaeologists have found evidence of so-called ’tiny people’ — an offshoot of humanity which apparently had severely stunted growth — which used to live there.

Dallol, Ethiopia: Today, salt mining takes place in the vicinity of the Dallol Volcano, so strictly speaking this isn’t an untouched area. But the immediate area of the volcano is, of course, uninhabitable. Fascinatingly, scientists believe the alien-like landscape of the volcano bears a striking resemblance to the surface of Io, the violently volcanic moon of the planet Jupiter.

Palmyra Atoll: Located in the Equatorial zone of the Pacific Ocean to the south of the islands of Hawaii, this pristine island is supposedly home to a mysterious, magical force. (img src: wikimedia / werc / coastalcare)
