places to see before they disappear
Some of the most beautiful places on Earth may soon disappear . So, if you are looking for amazing destinations to put on your travel bucket list, you should most definitely head to the following locations before they become a thing of the past. Here are places to visit before they disappear forever.
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 or just swimming in its cold and crystal clear waters before its islands sink!
Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China was built to protect the Chinese states and empires against invasion from a variety of nomadic groups of the Eurasion Steppe. The walls were built in the early 7th century, and were later joined to make a stronger, larger collection of walls, which are now know as the Great Wall, which stretches from Shangaiguan as far to the southern edge of Inner Mongolia. It is therefore 21,196km.
The Great Wall of China is no longer as stable as it once was, as sandstorms in the northwest China are reducing sections of the wall. Heavy tourist footfall is also wearing down the walls. Experts have predicted the Great Wall of China will be beyond repair within the next 20 years.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
Located off the coast of Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system which is composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. The reef system stretches over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) and is one of the world’s most amazing natural heritage sites. Unfortunately, the Great Barrier Reef is at risk, as recent studies show that in the last 3 decades the number of corals reduces by half due climate change, pollution, human activity like tourism and construction, and the spreading of the crown-of-thorns starfish that feed of the corals
Madagascar
The Republic of Madagascar is an island country located in the Indian Ocean, just off the coast of Southeast Africa. This magnificent nation is comprised of the island of Madagascar, which is the fourth largest island on Earth, and also includes various smaller peripheral islands.
22 million people now live in Madagascar, but their nation is, unfortunately, at risk. Over 80% of the world’s flora and fauna comes from Madagascar, which means there are unprecedented levels of deforestations for both farming and logging, and so just a fraction of its original forests that once covered the island now remain.
If deforestation continues at its current rate, Madagascar will be bare within just 35 years.
The Everglades, Florida, United States
The Everglades is a big area of tropical wetlands in southern Florida. The Everglades National Park protects only 20% of that amazing area. The park is home to a large diversity of wildlife: 36 threatened or protected species, 350 species of birds, 300 species of fish, 40 species of mammals, and 50 species of reptiles. This entire ecosystem and natural habitat is threatened by the growing pollution created by man. There are growing efforts to save the Everglades, but we recommend you visit it soon
Havana.Cuba
Don’t worry. Cuba isn’t going anywhere. Cuba is known for it’s beautiful beaches and classic capital city of Havana that will make you feel like you’re back in the sixties. And for those reasons the small island of Cuba is well worth a visit. But due to latest political shifts in the country and the slowly renewing relations with the United States, Cuba might soon become more modern and Havana might loose that 60’s charm and classic cars it is so famous for. No doubt those changes are very positive for the country, but if you always wanted to visit Havana for that old times magic, you should probably hurry up
Columbia Glacier, Alaska
While it’s not unique for a glacier to retreat, the Columbia Glacier is retreating faster than most. The Columbia Glacier has been retreating since the early 80’s. It retreated 10.5 miles (16.9 km) of length and 1,300 feet (400 m) of thickness since measurements began. In 2001 the glacier’s speed of retreat reached almost 30 metres (98 ft) a day! This rapid retreat appears to be correlated by climate change
The northern lights, one of several astronomical phenomena called polar lights (aurora polaris), are shafts or curtains of colored light visible on occasion in the night sky. Polar lights (aurora polaris) are a natural phenomenon found in both the no
