I am fascinated by these 10 places I found while searching on Google Earth that are not only unusual, but also extremely difficult to access. Number 1 on this list is so impossible to reach, It was only first discovered in 2012, and humans may never fully see it.

This list is the result of spending countless hours scouring Google Earth, but only represents a fraction of the locations on plan on exploring- so make sure to subscribe to see where I end up!

I would love to hear your thoughts in the comment section down below- what are some of the most improbable places you have managed to visit? If you had to go anywhere on this list- where would you choose?

Thanks a ton for watching, and I hope you have a great day!

    Im from Southeast Alaska there’s thousands of Islands that have no human infrastructure some of them aren’t even explored.. During the summer I go explore the islands and look for evidence of ancient ruins..I started doing this because on POw where I live they found human remains and ancient tools that dated back 10,000 years which is insane because during that time southeast Alaska was supposedly uninhabited..I’ve found three sites that were unknown so far and one stone structure which is very unique because the alaska natives didn’t build with stone just wood..I also found an island full of strange burials..

    The internet gives us a false feeling that we know and have conquered everything, that adventure is dead, but videos like yours remind me that it is not the case. The Everest may be overcrowded, but there are no shortages of breathtaking locations that require an adventure to deserve the sight of. Thank you for making such content, keep it up, you have earned a new subscriber.

    No joke, I spent much of my childhood mere miles from the “Nuclear Square Mile” that you put at number ten on this list. My grandparents are cattle ranchers in New Mexico and they live on the outskirts of Bingham, NM, which is just north of the site on highway 380. Their house is only 5-10 miles from the Trinity site. It is the same house my mother grew up in. The house used to be the Bingham school, which educated the few local kids in the area, and it was there when the Trinity explosion happened. My mother told me that as a girl, when she and her two siblings got in trouble, one of their punishments was to go outside and clean up glass from off the ground. This glass was the glass from the windows of the school that was blown out during the explosion. As you can imagine, the area is still very sparsely populated other than a few cattle ranchers. There is a rock shop in Bingham that used to sell ‘Trinitite’, which is a green mineral that was created when the explosion vaporized the copper wires that supported the bomb, which then oxidized and combined with the desert sand. Funny enough, its actually supposed to be illegal to buy or sell because all Trinitite is technically Army property. Im typing this all from memory so its possible that I got something wrong. Despite the seeming emptiness of the area, it is one of my favorite places in the world. There is alot of really cool stuff to find out there in the desert. There are ghost towns, Archeological sites where they have found 20,000 year old Clovis civilization artifacts (beads and such), and old Spanish missions from way back in the day. But the best part is probably the night sky. The lack of people means that there is virtually no light pollution whatsoever, and I can’t even describe the beauty of a clear New Mexico night sky. It is a truly meditative experience to lay there next to the Yucca on a cold December night and take in the beauty of the cosmos. Edit: One more thing. The White Sands Missile Range is still a very active military weapons testing installation. When my mother was a girl, they would sometimes get a knock on their door in the middle of the night from strange men. These men would tell them they had 1 hour to evacuate. Every family was required to leave the area during weapons testing, which often happened in the dead of night. My Father, who attended college (where he met my mother) in New Mexico, has told me that he would be flying down the empty highways late at night (on his motorcycle) on his way to visit my mother and would look to his right (into white sands missile range) and see missiles streaking across the sky. He said on several occasions he instead saw the rockets spinning out of control, making spiral trails as they tumbled out of the sky. Sorry for the long comment, I could talk forever about this place.

    I have lived in this house for eight years and the garage is still off limits

    Hi from Yakutsk. Actually closest city with airport to Ulakhan-Sis is called Chokurdakh and is about 130km to north of said Ulakhan-Sis. As far as I know, there's even regular tours (both summer and winter) to this place. It takes days to hike there, but this place is actually amazing. I've never been there myself, but I'm looking to getting there someday.
  • 7:33 As a resident of Butte County, screw PG&E and everything they stand for! The Butte Creek runoff was bad enough but they also sparked the Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history because they couldn’t be bothered to properly maintain their electrical equipment. At least 85 people perished and 18,000 structures burned to the ground. The fires burned over 153,000 acres, scarring the land around some of the most incredible places in the northern sierra foothills including Feather Falls, one of the tallest waterfalls in Northern California. Despite causing as much as $17 billion in estimated damages, and being held accountable for 84 counts of felony manslaughter, PG&E was protected and bailed out by the government so they could continue their operations just like normal. The fire also decimated Honey Run Covered Bridge, a historical structure built in 1886 spanning across Butte Creek, the very same creek they spilled sediment into after a flume failure, killing every single salmon from the site of the disaster all the way to the Sacramento River along with many other types of wildlife 5 years later. PG&E has proven on multiple occasions their complete inability to properly maintain their own facilities and my home county and the surrounding areas have paid the price for their negligence. I hope that diablo canyon is not the next area to suffer from this same negligence. I think it is already such a shame that such vast swathes of our beautiful state are off entirely limits to exploration at the behest of corporate behemoths who seek only to exploit our bountiful ecosystems for profit. However PG&E has shown themselves to capable of so much worse than exploitation. The last thing we need is PG&E causing the next Fukushima and saying “whoopsies” before reaching a settlement in court and moving on like nothing happened! Great video btw!
  • I can't begin to match your travels, but in my mid-teens my dad and I and the son and father of our closest friends were horse packed way way deep into the mountainous Yallobolla wilderness area in Trinity County (northern Calif.), and we were left there for 2 weeks. Besides the beauty of nature, what stood out for me the most was how trusting all of the birds and deer were because of never having been hunted...I literally had to tap grazing deer on the nose at night to be able to sleep when they began eating grass right nest to my head. I had an amazing out of body experience there on our last day (no drugs) as I was far out into a huge meadow by myself, giving deep thanks to what I had been given there. As I was sending out love and gratitude it started returning to me until it became a cycle of amplification so transforming that I was lifted out of my body until I was floating in the air above the surrounding woods...as I hung there completely blown away, every single blade of grass, every rock, every tree...everything in sight...was emanating white light. When I returned to my body I was so deeply moved that I didn't even want to return to my life or tell anyone what I had experienced because it was too sacred and I didn't think anyone would believe me. I was not raised to be religious, but after that I became deeply spiritual and have been blessed with several amazing and deeply rewarding "supernatural" experiences that I am so deeply grateful for. Nature has always been my "church".

    Never heard of the last one, makes you wonder how many more undiscovered places really remain...
  • @user-yi7zm3qk3i
    I think what I like most is that this whole video is absolutely unique. It's not based off of some other YouTube video, it's not clickbait, heck, the title is not even trying to hit trending searched words. It's just pure top tier content creation and to top it off, like an introlude for coming episodes where you actually visit these places.....think I might be hooked, I mean subscribed

    I once got the opportunity to visit a remote group of people living inside the crater of a dormant volcano in southern Angola as part of a group who would annually check on their health. It was 3-4 days drive in a 4x4 just to leave the volcano, and hours after that to find the nearest town. It was an incredibly isolated place, and the community were almost completely isolated. Their permanent bathroom was a sheltered hole in the ground, and many of them carried bows and arrows around (presumably for hunting). Just when I thought we couldn't be further from modern civilization, someone pulled out a 3 foot speaker and started blasting music! It was truly an amazing place though and I'll never forget it

    Regarding number 1 - go to the Russian sector of the Internet (with the help of a translator) - and you will see a lot of articles and photos of Ulakhan-Sis. It is an accessible place, tours are organized there. And despite the situation, a lot of foreign tourists come here without any problems. Besides, there is a completely similar place in the Urals, the Komi Republic, called Manpupunyur.

    With regard to number 3, Witjira National Park, it's not difficult to get to and me and my wife have been there and had a swim in the springs. One only needs a competent and reliable 4WD and a willingness to pay through the nose for fuel. It's arid and remote country but there are decent tracks and the area is well mapped. Best visited in the cooler months and never after recent rains (which are infrequent). The nearest town would be Alice Springs (Northern Territory) rather than Port Augusta. Definitely worth a visit and I hope you make it there one day.
  • If I was a billionaire, you'd be my travel guide. For me, that's what unlimited wealth would be used for, seeing as much of this unappreciated world as possible.
  • @MiketheEye
    I highly recommend playing the new Microsoft Flight Simulator if you haven't already. It's the next step up from Google Earth for exploring the world. It's a very detailed 1:1 digital recreation of the Earth and for the most part is incredibly detailed. The Nevada Proving Grounds is a great place to start. Looks like the Earth was hit by a giant shotgun and the scope and scale is incredible
  • @Andyaero
    Great bucket list. One remark about your position #1. Actually, there is a small airport Chokurdakh, which used to be the starting point for many polar expeditions. Now Chokurdakh is just a regular small town and it is only 200 kilometers away from Ulakhan-Sis Range. Visiting Yakutia is not that difficult either, there's no "political situation" here of any kind. Russian tourist visa is one of the easiest to get, I believe you can get it online these days, just like a Turkish visa (check out all these American YouTubers filming in Russia). Then get on the plane and fly to Moscow or Sankt Petersburg (probably connecting in Istanbul). Chill out, switch planes and fly 6.5 hours to Yakutsk, chill out again and fly to Chokurdakh (just under 3 hours), then chill out some more while traveling to Vorontsovo by the boat, around 200 kilometers by Indigirka river and finally 10-20 kilometers of hiking. Can probably get some local tour guide in Chokurdakh or Vorontsovo as well. Yes, it is a very long trip, but eventually you will make it there. Just don't drink too much with locals, this is dangerous. LOL.
  • @jonnyw321
    I've been getting bored of Youtube lately with overly sensationalised 'like and subscribe for a twenty minute intro and some adverts' videos. This, on the other hand, was excellent! Very informative and interesting. I hadn't heard of most of the places mentioned. You're the first person I've subscribed to in a while, and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos! Thanks :)

    Im your huckleberry, I worked on diablo canyon in the early 80s when the containment vessels were fortified to withstand earthquakes. Those bright colored pools contain the water used and reused to inside the cooling rods at the core of the generator and to cool newly produced radioactive materials, like plutonium, which generates its own heat for over a year under this water inside smaller indoor pools before it cools enough to be handled and stored. That water glows like that because it is highly radioactive. I live sixty miles from Trinity in Tularosa but I've never been there. I have hiked all along the central New Mexico and Mexico border lands. From a hilltop, looking out across the flatness full of semi volcanic protrusions everywhere immediately resembles a dry ocean bottom. I've found clusters of seahorse fossils in a pile of broken boulders near Columbus NM. I have not been to that particular exitinct volcano but there are many on both sides of the border in that area. That white-colored little hill is probably a large mound of quartz crystal deposits, there are many in the area. Crystals are probably scattered all over its surface. Central Asia and Siberia have lots of inaccessible places, so does Alaska and Canada

    When I was a kid in boy scouts, my scout master brought our troop of 5 kids into the kanab creek wilderness. We drove a whole day on rough roads to a trail head, and went down what was obviously a maintained trail. But this guy had lived in arizona for his whole 60 years of life, and took us off the trail. We bushwacked and followed landmarks for three days and ended up at a creek in the middle of the canyon. He showed us all these old indian rock paintings and an abandoned cowboy camp, all completely untouched. Even a mountain he had named lol. Then we went up this steep ridge and got this amazing view of the grand canyon, far from any of the national park sites. I will never forget it, everything was so pristine and the view of the stars at night was astounding.
