If you are a travel junkie at heart this post would be a great help for you to identify the top places to visit before they disappear in the world map because of destruction, pollution, and climate change. There are endless of magnificent sights to see all over the world. But we don’t really know how long these wonderful sights would be sitting right there in its spot and be waiting for you to pay a visit. You may be thinking you’re still young and you have all the time to take travelling around the globe at your own phase. But in reality, the clock is ticking fast and the glaciers up in the North are dramatically thawing, setting an end to the life of different places on Earth. And that’s the reason why we put up this list for you just like our previous post about the top 10 places to visit before you die. Now, we have to give back our time to Mother Nature. She’s out there waiting for us to come see her innermost.
We are sitting chill in front of our computers or smart phone without knowing that there are certain parts of the world that are crying and rarely surviving the drastic climate change and exposure to pollution to which we are guilty of. Imagine not having one of the largest rainforests in the world anymore, or not having to see Maldives, or not able to experience yet riding the Gondolas? It’s heartbreaking to know that if you wouldn’t be aware of these places you might not be able to experience and appreciate them in the first place.
So, are you ready for a trip all over the world to see the top 10 places to visit before they disappear? Awesome! Take note of these places, mate!
10. Bangladesh
Earlier this year, a big chunk of Sundarban Islands was engulfed by the raging waves of the sea. How did this happen? It’s the effect f global warming which keeps on directing so much heat to our planet that it is affecting the preservation of humongous glaciers on Earth increasing the sea level, making it flood to low areas and anywhere. So get your head into Bangladesh to visit several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and their “beautiful forests” in Bangladesh before it’s gone.
9. Alaska
They say if you want to be alone and free driving to Alaska will give you the free time to be alone. As people from different part f America (and of the world) decide to live in the northernmost state, pollution is one of the reasons why Alaska is slowly losing it magnificent charm. Not to mention the dramatic ecosystem changes caused by climate change where the iconic Alaskan tundra is thawed daily. This being said, it’s one of the places you should really crash into before Alaskan mountains melt away.
8. Magdalen Islands, Quebec, Canada
If you want to make out the most of your weekend for adventure, paying a visit to the Magdalen Island in Quebec would certainly give you the chills you’re looking for. Sandstone cliffs for the brave ones and golden sand beaches for the bum ones; Magdalen Island offers a promising time with nature away from the bustling life in the city. But much of it will soon be gone- it’s because of the melting of ice glaciers in the North and it get struck by disparaging storms from time to time.
7. The Congo Basin
The second largest rainforest in the world is the Congo Basin in Central Africa which is also one of the top places to visit before it disappears. The 40% source of oxygen of the world (Congo rainforest) is soon to be wiped out of the map, thanks to commercial logging and expanding farms (no thanks, really). It is home for the endangered species animals too. With the continuous development of industries and the ongoing climate change, Congo is soon to say goodbye to the rest of the world.
6. Mongolian Steppe
It’s the most ideal place on the planet to build a ranch on its grasslands plains and live a life of a lone wolf because of its laid back atmosphere and it’s the least populated place in the world too! But the recent boom of its mineral industry makes the country sink! And if Mongolians continue to build up the mining industry until 2030, the large land would even not be enough for its very small population.
5. Maldives
The best summer destination on Earth is soon to be erased from its map as well. Due to increasing threats of climate change, in 100 years, Maldives will totally sink its amazingly beautiful island nation. So what are you waiting for? Plan your summer and holidays in Maldives to experience diving and snorkelling, or just swimming in its cold and crystal clear waters before its islands sink!
4. Glacier National Park, Montana
Back in the 1850s, Glacier National Park has over 150 amazing glaciers. Today, it’s fewer than 25. The increasing temperature in Montana is obviously killing the life of its main attraction. That’s the reason why you need to drive to Montana and sit there and appreciate these gigantic glaciers. In 2030, glaciers will be wiped out of the map of Montana which is just heartbreaking.
3. The Dead Sea
One of the top places you should visit before it’s literally dead is the Dead Sea which claims to relieve and heal arthritis and psoriasis in a natural way- no, you don’t drink the water from Dead Sea, you take a dip in it instead. The mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea have slowly been drying out 30% of its volume for the past 40 years. Might as well pay a visit to the miraculous sea before it dried out in the next 50 years!
2. Venice, Italy
Venice is known to be the “romance” capital of the world. It’s famous for its canals where most of the lovers come and go. One little advice here, plan out your trip to Venice as soon as you can and experience the Gondola for a while for it’s one of the places on Earth that could disappear any moment from now because of the tremendous flood that destroys Italy. Venice is literally sinking of its canals- there’s an increase of sea level that makes most coastal towns and cities pretty wet too.
Long wait is over mate, the top place to visit before it disappears is
1. Great Barrier Reef, Australia
The Land Down Under boasts a very rich coral reef field called the Great Barrier Reef. Well, not much to brag about of its size of 70 million football field that is the home for at least 3,000 colourful corals and 1,675 of fish families. The threat that has been killing the Great Barrier Reef is the pollution and the increase of temperature of the water that irritates the life under water. With all these cruel things happening to the biggest coral reef population on Earth, expect that in just 100 years, there’d be no coral nothing to see in the Land Down Under.
Hope you will get a chance to visit at least one place from this list of top 10 places to visit before they disappear.
