The Earth is such a big place that even in the modern-day, not all of it has been explored yet. Despite the technological advancements and the sheer number of people, there are still many places left unexplored.
80% of the ocean remains unexplored, underground caves, mysterious rivers, temples, and mountains away from the eyes of man.
In this video, we’ll be talking about the ten most interesting unexplored places on Earth.
-
The Amazon Rainforest, Vale do Javari
Brazil’s Amazon rainforest is home to various native species and beautiful, fascinating creatures. With animals that can’t be found anywhere else in the world and with plants unique to this rainforest’s ecosystem, there are still many things to explore.
However, what seems to be the most interesting in the Amazon Rainforest are the recent videos of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon Rainforest. These isolated indigenous people live in the heart of the largest forest globally, and they are one of the last uncontacted tribes in the homelands.

Myanmar’s Northern Forest Complex
Previously called Burma, Myanmar’s northern forest complex is located on the easternmost stretch of the Himalayas. This forest found deep in Myanmar’s Kachin state is home to the world’s largest tiger preserve.
This virgin forest also houses bears, red pandas, gibbons, and other animals and flora we are yet to gaze our eyes upon.
-
Son Doong Cave
Son Doong Cave is located in Vietnam. It’s the world’s largest cave that even has its river and jungle complex. Being over 5.5 miles long, this cave has not been touched by people up until 2009 where an expedition was set off.
There is still a lot to know about the world’s largest cave, as experts believe that it’s connected to a network of at least over 150 caves near the Laos border.
-
India’s North Sentinel Island
This island is located in the middle of the Bay of Bengal. It is in the southernmost tip of Myanmar, but it technically belongs to India.
Home to the Sentinelese people, another group of men that have barely made contact with the outside world, this place has a three-mile exclusion zone to avoid hostile interactions with the locals.
-
Snake Island
Another unexplored place in Brazil is Snake Island. As the name suggests, it is home to thousands of poisonous snakes. It has built its reputation as one of the most forbidden places in the world.
Because of the island’s imminent danger, brazil has declared it prohibited in their law to step on the island.
-
Greenland
As another icy area, Greenland holds the reputation as one of the iciest areas in the world, with over 80 percent of the island being covered by an ice cap.
Although some argue that the Vikings were already explored around 100 CE, they were primitive people who do not have the same technology we do, and it’s doubtful they got so far.
-
Surtsey Island
Iceland’s Surtsey island is located on the southern coast of the island. Four years of continuous volcanic explosions gave birth to this majestic place.
It remains unexplored because only a few scientists and geologists have been allowed to enter its premises as there are still a lot of things to be studied, especially the ecological sequence like birds deciding to migrate or flora growing.
-
Northern Patagonia, Chile
Moving on to colder areas, Chile’s Northern Patagonia is home to one of the world’s wildest landscapes.
It is the least populated region in the world. Hence, also one of the least explored places. It has only begun to be accessed by the people of Chile in the 80s.
-
Mariana Trench
As most people know, 80% of the Earth’s ocean is yet to be explored. The Mariana Trench being a part of that 80%. It’s known as the most profound part on Earth.
Up until now, only two successful manned descent to challenger deep have been recorded. Experts believe that it’s home to many rare minerals and deep ocean creatures. We cannot even begin to imagine what they look like.
-
Antarctica
The last but definitely not the least on this list is the coldest place on Earth. It is the driest, coldest, and windiest continent on Earth, making it virtually unbearable to survive.
Because of this harsh environment, expeditions could only be limited in areas where it’s deemed safe. As a result, most of Antarctica is yet to be explored.
