With exceptional brain power, human have discovered many secrets on Earth.

We have already reached the Moon surface and have explored other planets (not manned-missions).

Interestingly, there are still a number places on Earth that are yet to be explored.


Inhospitable, harsh environments and devastating natural forces make some places least explored on earth.

On the other hand, it’s a blessing.

Because, it help to keep even a few places in its original form.

Greenland icecaps.




Greenland is the largest island on earth.

It is also the Northern most country in the world.

The Kaffeklunnen Island of Greenland is just 442 miles from the North Pole.

Interestingly, Greenland is spread across a vast area of 8,36,300 square miles and 80% of it is covered by ice.

It is the exact reason why Greenland remain least explored and underpopulated.

By 2017, only 56,239 people live in this large island.

Some ice sheets of this island have a thickness of 3200 meters.

It is also estimated that Greenland ice sheets are aged between 400,000 and 800,00 years.

Greenland is also home to glaciers, ice flowing rivers, midnight Sun, hotsprings and Northern lights.

In case of trasnportation, there are no major roads or rail networks in Greenland.

To get around, you can choose snowmobile, boat, plane or helicopter.

Mariana trench, Western Pacific ocean

(11,000m deep from the bottom of the ocean)





Located in Western Pacific ocean, Mariana trench is the deepest part of the Earth.

This deep, crescent shaped trench was formed by ocean to ocean subduction about millions of years ago.

The deepest point in Mariana trench isknown as ‘challenger deep’.

The depth of this point is estimated to be 10,994 meters.

Considering the depth and high pressure in Mariana trench, it’s a dangerous place to explore.

Until now, Two successful manned descent to challenger deep has been recorded.

The first manned-descent to challenger deep was done by Swiss Oceanographer Jacques Piccard and USN Lieutenant Don Walsh in 1960.

The second mission was done by famous Hollywood film director James Cameroon on 26th March 2012.

It was a solo mission.

Mariana trench is home for many rare minerals and deep ocean creatures.

The floor of Mariana trench contains fossils that age missions of years.

Detailed exploration on challenger deep could reveal many secrets of Earth.

But the unsustainable conditions of Mariana trench make it so difficult.

Gangkhar Puensum, Bhutan.



Gangkhar Puensum is the highest, unclimbed mountain in the world.

It is located in Bhutan.

This mountain has a height of 7570 meters and it is the 40th highest mountain in the world.

As you know, even the highest peak, Mount Everest already been successfully climbed by many people.

But Gangkhar Puensum still remain unclimbed.

There are only four reported expeditions took place in Gangkhar Puensum.

In 1983, 1985, 1986 and 1994 respectively.

But, all of those expeditions became unsuccessful due to heavy snowfall and unsustainable conditions.

In 2004, Bhutan government restricted mountaineering in Gangkhar Puensum because of spiritual beliefs.

So, Gangkhar Puensum mountain became unclimbed and unexplored.

The Deserts.



It is a known fact that deserts are least explored because of uninhabitable weather conditions.

Sahara is the largest desert in the world, depending on unsuitable conditions for growing plants.

Covering over 200 million square miles, Sahara desert located in Africa, is the the largest and hottest desert in the world.

Deserts only get very little rainfall in a year.

Extreme temperature fluctuations are very common in deserts.

The days can be extreme hot, but nights are very cold.

It makes very harsh environments for animals, plants and humans.

Even though, a few animal and plant life can be found on deserts.

Such animals possess high adaptability to live in harsh, desert environment.

Deep caves.



There are large number of caves located across the world.

It is too difficult to explore many caves due to unbearable weather conditions, sharp rocks, scalding water, and slipping conditions in the caves.

Some of the underwater caves in the world are even uninhabited by marine life because of deadliest conditions.

The flooded, Yucatan Cenotes cave network in Mexico is the best example for it.

The crystal caves and snow caves also become too dangerous for expedition due to unprecedented changes.

Son Doong Cave, Vietnam.




The world’s largest cave, having its own river, waterfall, mountains, climate and a jungle.

At more than 5.5 miles long, it’s cavernous enough to house a skyscraper.

The first expedition set off to explore this underground world in 2009 before being stymied by a 200-foot-tall wall of calcite inside.

Much of the surrounding network of over 150 caves near the Laos border remains unsurveyed.

Amazon rainforest, South America.



Covering a total area of 2.5 million sq. mi, Amazon holds half of the earth's rain forests.

The rich biodiversity and presence of many rare species make Amazon rainforest to a focal area for scientific expeditions.

But Amazon’s mysterious habitat makes it still an least explored place on Earth.

There is no dry season in Amazon rainforest, get rain all the year.

The heavy rain in Amazon rain forest comes in February.

It causes drastic rise of water level in Amazon river.

It also leads to heavy flooding in the Amazon.

In such a condition, the transportation through Amazon river also become too dangerous due to extreme river currents.


There are also deadly animals in the Amazon like Anacondas, Pythons, jaguars, rattlesnakes, Brazilian wandering spiders, mosquitoes, poison dart frogs, piranhas, black caiman that could harm humans.

In addition, the lack of access to healthy food and clean water makes expedition in Amazon rainforest too dangerous.

Antarctica.

At 14,000,000 square kilometres (5,400,000 square miles), it is the fifth-largest continent.

Antarctica is the coldest place on the Earth surface.

It is also the driest, coldest, and windiest continent on Earth.

The climate in this continent drastically changes between -10 degree Celsius to -30 degree Celsius under normal condition.

The lowest recorded temperature in Antarctica is -89 degree Celsius.

This harsh climate itself make Antarctica to a least explored place on Earth.

The fastest wind speed recorded in Antarctica is 200 miles per hour in 1972.

The ice sheets in Antarctica have a thickness of 2 miles.

It reflect the unbearable climate condition in the continent.

Heavy snow falls, glaciers, crevasses are the other potential hazards in Antarctica.

Northeast and Northwest, of Kamchatka Peninsula, Siberia, Russia.






Responsible for over 77% of the land space of Russia and holding a mere 27% of the country’s population.

Located in the north of Russia, is infamously cold and inhospitable.


While much of Siberia remains unexplored, the Kamchatka Peninsula, located in Northeast Siberia, is possibly the least explored region.

Approximately 300,000 live on the Kamchatka Peninsula, but the majority is uninhabited.

The Peninsula is rife with geological wonders, including volcanoes, geysers and bays, and remains largely unexplored thanks to its remote location and stormy winters.

Papua New Guinea And Congo Rainforest.




Like the Great Barrier Reef, Papua New Guinea is ripe for scientific exploration.

The entire country is largely unexplored in the Western sense, although it is home to several indigenous tribes.

Because Papua New Guinea is covered by dense vegetation, exploration is difficult but rewarding.

A lack of paved roads and limited infrastructure mean that tourism is scarce and hasn’t damaged this thriving and unique ecosystem.

Roughly 2/3 of the life on Papua New Guinea is endemic, which is sure to lure in the scientifically minded.











Congo Rainforest



The Amazon might be bigger, but the Congo forest is less explored.

The Congo Basin, which covers an enormous 15% of Africa, has long been a fascinating subject for both locals and foreigners alike.

Native pygmy tribes tell tall tales about dinosaur-like creatures that stalk through the Congo forest, while foreigners like to debate the possibility of pygmy tribes.

The Congo is largely populated by Bantu people and was first explored by Henry Morton Stanley, in 1876.

Although Stanley traveled 7,000 miles through Africa in 3years, but the Congo forest remains a mystery and unexplored.

The Island Archipelago of Tristan da Cunha.



It is the most remote inhabited archipelago in the world, lying 2,000 kilometres (1,200 mi) from the nearest inhabited land, Saint Helena, and 2,400 kilometres (1,500 mi) from the nearest continental land, South Africa.

It is 3,360 kilometres (2,090 mi) from South America.

The territory consists of the main island, named Tristan da Cunha, which has a north south length of 11.27 kilometres (7.00 mi) and an area of 98 square kilometres (38 sq mi), along with the smaller, uninhabited Nightingale Islands and the wildlife reserves of inaccessible and Gough islands.

As of January 2017, the main island has 262 permanent inhabitants.

The other islands are uninhabited, except for the personnel of a weather station on Gough Island.


The island is part of a few other similar pieces of land, which were once named the Inaccessible Islands.

True to their names, the islands hold many shipwrecks off their shores.
