The most Impossible to Reach places on Google Earth
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 тра 2024
- 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!

A ton of polar bears is about 2 bears.
LOVE IT ! In the midst of all this ooohing and aaaahing....you made me laugh ! Living life on this planet is such a adventure. There is never enough time or money to get it all accomplished. Sooo THANKFUL for the Google map vicarious Travel Gift !
Lmao
😅😅😅😅😅
That’s 2 more than I’m willing to face without a film crew and a television screen in between.
Is this enough Polar Bear to break the ice?
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..
I hope you communicate this information to some Alaska college/university.
Document your findings and record it
I’m convinced not all important discoveries are made by elitists.
Why not make a UA-cam video about them ? I would watch it. For sure
island full of strange burials? surely dont tease us about that without a story or even some co-ords. Thats heaps cool and possibly very important. Bit spooky even :^)
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.
This is so interesting. I wouldn't mind hearing more of your stories about these places
@@MihikChaudhari I’m kind of a fan of geology and archeology. This area of New Mexico is very volcanically active because it is a divergence zone between two plates, which stretches the earths crust and makes it very thin. In fact, My grandfather’s ranch has an ancient deceased volcano on it. We hiked up there once or twice to the rim of the caldera, but he told us not to go in because the caldera is absolutely infested with rattlesnakes. They love living there because the bowl of the caldera focuses the heat of the sun and keeps them real cozy and warm. If you look closely in this video, you will see a huge black streak to the east of the Nuclear Square Mile he shows us, just beyond a mountain ridge. This is the “Valley of Fires” and it is a lava flow. It is actually pretty young in terms of geologic time. He mentioned that the Astronauts on the ISS use the ‘Eye of the Sahara’ as a landmark to know where they are and they do the same with this lava flow because it is very visually distinct and easily seen from space. The town of Carrizozo is right next to this old lava flow and the town is actually still in a bit of danger because these flows are caused by very sudden volcanos that spew like geysers high up into the air. And the lava flows are very fast because the lava itself is thin like water, not thick and slow moving like some lava flows. The highways that link the town are in real danger of being totally destroyed by a potential eruption. Thanks for reading! I love sharing these memories.
Don't apologize, I could listen to you talk about it forever. Thanks for the in depth information, it's truly fascinating. I bet that view your Dad had was incredible. Best stars I ever saw was at the top of a mountain in Baja, Mexico and again in Okracoke Island, NC. But I'll bet those NM stars were way better. I'm jealous. I'd love to see that.
dude youre teling the exact location of your parents house. 5-10 miles from the site is enough info for the internet.
@@DriftingSoul442 well either my grandma will greet them at the door with a delicious taco soup, or my grandfather will greet them at the door with a loaded revolver 😂
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.
This means the world. Thanks
lol the titan guys tried adventure and they are dead indeed
Just don't go to tourist spots. It's very easy to get your own sense of adventure.
Agree. I think to myself about all the places that zero to few humans have traveled and how fascinating it would be to discover or be one of the few to witness an area. Then I think no maybe we do not have to touch every corner of Earth... maybe I can be happy knowing there are parts of Earth that are sacred.
Dude school gave me that feeling, I tihnk the internet helped fix it lol.
But you are right! I'm just playing!
I have lived in this house for eight years and the garage is still off limits
That’s where dad smokes his pot.
Thats never a good sign lol
@@LolaBowla It's about that time again. LOL
@@LolaBowla It's about that time again. LOL
Is your dad related to Fritzl?
Never heard of the last one, makes you wonder how many more undiscovered places really remain...
Every where you are there is undiscovered history and structures under your feet, even under the largest mountains ranges and in some cases they are observed to be and have even been shown to be the Meltology ArchaeoGeological mountains themselves.
And quarries are simply byproduct and material harvesting ,recycling and or repurposing.
It'd be 'round there that the aliens reside.
@@flatplaneoregon4605facts. Plus the remnants of massive trees 80-100 miles in diameter, like the Appalachians. Only apparent to those familiar with the inner workings of wood and petrified wood, but it is the entirety of the range.
@@BigTrees4ever Yes.
Even at different states of petrification they still tend to decompose and erode just like other cut wood or fallen trees will do today.
Infinity places
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 UA-camrs 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.
Since adult beverages taste horrible to me, I don't think a trip to Russia to hang out with the locals is in my future.
Yup, some climber that works for Redbull make a mini doc about traveling to Ulakhan-sis, he also flew into Chokurdakh. The hardest part of it is the hike from Indigirka river to Ulakhan bc of how many bugs and bears there are.
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".
I think what I like most is that this whole video is absolutely unique. It's not based off of some other UA-cam 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
Thanks g. Thats the goal of this channel- to find and visit these kind of places.
Also there is no background muzak
@@the_pov_channel that's the dream, I would love to see places like this with a knowledgeable friend
You're dead wrong. I searched a few of these and saw easy access trailheads with trails snaking around. He's phoning it in for views.
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.
Yep, I saw there are tours, but when you look at the logistics of someone such as myself getting there, it's almost insane to think of undertaking. Not sure if Americans can visit rn
@@the_pov_channel You just need to fly to a country like Serbia or Belarus first and exchange for their currency before you get there because they won't take it once you're there.
@@the_pov_channel Generally, you can visit, but I would advise against, since our government took a habit of detaining foreign nationals to use them in bargaining later, unfortunately. Maybe reaching out to some of the official agencies like the Ministry of Tourism or the Association of Tourism Operators (doubt about that one though) can help to clarify the guidelines. However, honestly, it's so unpredictable and a bit scary :( Plus the covid the restrictions are quite vague. They almost exist in a sort of superposition)
I hope you'll get your chance to visit someday! Also, there's a bit of more affordable alternative - Lena Pillars, in the Yakutsk area. Might be less impressive, but a good start to figure out travelling in Russia. But yeah, the times aren't great.
American citizen traveling to remote part of russia (through
post comunist cuntry) in 2024? Yeah, good luck with that. You may end up visiting not only stone monument but mayby several jails and perhaps an gulag.
@@Ramk0sh > our government took a habit of detaining foreign nationals to use them in bargaining later, unfortunately.
What are you smoking?
I've been deep inside of #4, the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant. I had the opportunity last summer to walk around the turbines, the control room, and through the layers and layers of massive plumbing which carry the steam and working fluids around the facility. Getting in there was a more intense security process than I've ever experienced before, and anywhere you go you're closely monitored by armed guards. Such a cool experience!
that's sooo cooool. wow good for you
Strangely there is a nuclear power plant in South Carolina with a visitors center and a museum! The Oconee Nuclear Station in Oconee South Carolina! I've been there and its quite a cool place with a big diorama and a little area that overlooks the plant that you can stand on and overlook the concrete barriers.
I got to visit there as well! It was part of my thermodynamics class in college.
@@mitchblahman13 Yo no way, with Locascio from Cal Poly? Me too!
I got to visit there in the early 90's (or late 80's?) when I was a kid in elementary school. Field Trip.
Do you just mean….Earth???
Ahahahahaha
No google owns the earth, they bought it in 2019 and it became the google earth.
Or maybe earth is just something google made up. I mean, has anyone checked whether the whole thing really exists?
As soon as I thought this, I saw your comment.
I mean, if you read it as "the most impossible to reach places, on Google earth"
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.
Not to mention the airstrip at Dalhousie Springs!!!
So many rural towns like Alice Springs are being destroyed by aboriginal aggression. These could be thriving, placid towns, even without Pine Gap. We're so dissipated that we effectively abandon them, leaving a skeleton crew to provide needed regional services. I wish people had the vision to imagine flourishing outback communities free of indigenous aggression. places where doctors can move to with their families, free of worry.
Coober Pedy is one of the closest bigger towns with shops. And there are a bunch of smaller towns closer
@@Tattlebot Yeah nah
Many Aussies have since pointed out that Alice Springs is much closer than Port Augusta haha. I missed that somehow. Sounds beautiful im glad you have been able to enjoy.
I've been getting bored of UA-cam 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 :)
🤙🫡
Yes! It comes across as a classic UA-cam video. What made the platform great in the first place.
Same here
Yeah this guy is going to be somebody someday soon if I have anything to say about it.
PB&E. Biggest criminals since Karen Silkwood and Kerry McGee corp.
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.
Agreed.
i can't imagine being a billionaire and attending office meetings, buying a nice car and living every day in a nice house in London. I'd be gone and exploring
Our planet is so beautiful and intriguing, it thrills me so much to think that there's still many places left to discover and many others that will be kept secret from our eyes possibly for eternity. I wish everybody was as fascinated and curious about nature as you are. But i definitely think you're doing an amazing job at transmitting that passion through the screen so there's no doubt you inspired many people including me. Keep up the great work !
When I was in the military, I was all over White Sands - Trinity site, etc... _ and have been places in the Southeast U.S. that few that are currently alive have ever seen. Thanks.
Very cool. Seems like an awesome place
You should take a look at the south of Chile. It will blow your mind because some places look out of this world.
The south of Chile was my first big solo trip in my mid 20s and set the bar stupidly high for any of my future adventures. I was hiking around Isla Navarino and thinking to myself, “yup, there’s not really anything further south other than some small islands and the Drake Passage. I’m about two thousand kilometres from Antarctica. Is that close or is that far? Is this even real?!” That place is absolutely magical.
I work for an airline now. I travel all the time and nothing has come remotely close to the south of Chile for me. Because of this video, I’ve set my sights on Northeastern Siberia!
Yep. that's high up there need to spend more time exploring from above
As someone from Chile I'm glad someone mentions this and shows it's not bias. Our geography down south is mental!
So true. Chile, especially the Patagonia region, is truly a magical looking place, comparable with New Zealand. I've wanted to get down there to do some fishing and maybe snowboarding for many years.
@@patrick3176 looking at Patagonia on Google Earth, and being familiar with NZ, Patagonia is the South Island of NZ on steroids. Much bigger and even emptier.
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
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
The Richat Structure was visited by Jeremy Clarkson and James May in the most recent episode of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime.
Good show. Mongolia is still my favorite
Also believed to be the lost city of Atlantis
Itchy boots lady on her motobike also made her way there
Couple of pensioners beat you to it sonny.
@@samlacey3087 Its not atlantis. The only thing it has in common with atlantis is that its round.
Dry valleys in Antarctica. It's been on top of my list of near-impossibly remote locations that I've always wanted to see but never dreamed it would actually happen. I managed to go there last year by doing an Antarctic cruise to the Ross sea that also had helicopters.
What do i type in google earth, dry valleys doesn’t come up ?
@@trebledown6713 try McMurdo dry valleys or Canada glacier in Taylor Valley (which is the area we went)
I think they're referring to the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
@@SamrachKit Thankyou❤️never thought I’d get a reply very appreciative.
2:54 the way the mountains top is cut looks phenomenal! Seems like an alien planet.
Looks like a tree stump.

The vastness and remoteness of Eastern-Northern Russia is mindboggling. I want to visit a flat grassland somewhere in that massive region one day, just to feel the sense of being in the center of the massive Eurasian landmass (and the experience of the closest real life thing to minecraft flatworld lol).
Уникальные места.., жизни не хватит, чтобы многие из них увидеть и прочувствовать. Романтично и вдохновляюще!
Location number 3 has closer towns, only 80miles north or south with an airport. ' Finke ' is north and ' Oodnadatta ' is south.
Location number 2 has an in use ranch home just its east base side. You can follow the dirt roads from there.
Number 3 also has an airstrip and campground in the middle of it.
Thanks for the info. V good to know
Location 1 is also much closer to civilization than stated: only about 1000km from Yakutsk (population 300,000) and about 250km from the regional administrative centre, Deputatsky (population 3,000).
This was an incredible video. I only knew about one of these locations, and thats because I spent much of my childhood mere miles away. Thanks for introducing me to so many wonderful locations.
I could watch these exact type of videos from you all day. You've got my sub!
The Arctic is no joke. I visited Svalbard and many places in northern Norway. Even in the summer it can be very inhospitable. Love the videos and sounds like you have a great list going but you left off Papua New Guinea and the Amazon, the deserts of Chili are also interesting.
Chile is the country. Chili is a food dish.
@@BurntOrangeHorn78 Incorrect. Chilli is the food dish. Chili is not a word.

Yeah, I am a Texan, so no. Sorry
@@BurntOrangeHorn78"I am Texan, so the pedantic correction I made, even though incorrect, is magically correct."

@@bobSeigar
Prosper in ignorance. Good luck!
Oh cool, was not expecting Diablo Canyon on there hahaha. I would not call that a super hard one to go visit, though you are correct in stating that the land is privately owned and mostly inaccessible. I think the powerplant does occasionally do tours still? (Went on one in middle school). There are lots of very beautiful trails all throughout that stretch of coast.
The power company I believe still allows a cattle ranching company to graze out there and that is the most common sight you'll see. Might still be the same family who's been ranching out there for decades but I'm unsure anymore.
Another highlight is walking the trail out to the old lighthouse which is near Port San Luis. You'll be met with a beautiful old brick building with its original lighthouse and the modern version of a lighthouse next door.
I grew up fishing with my father who is a commercial fisherman and we know that stretch of coastline extremely well. (Near shore fishery mostly) We fish mostly for rockcod in that stretch of water extending from literally feet away from those treacherous rocky cliffs to a couple miles off shore.
Pre 9/11 you could literally take your boat (if its small enough) and fish directly in the hot water outflow from the plant, like literally 20 ft away from the outflow (cue jokes about radioactive three eyed fish and squid men). But every since there is now a one nautical mile exclusion zone that extends out into the water surrounding the entire power plant 😢.
A cool thing about that hot water outflow it has created a microclimate where you can catch species of fish that normally don't live in that stretch of water. My favorite are sheep head because they have freaky teeth that look like human teeth.
The amazing part is that the warmer water actually stretches much farther than the eye can see and you can fish that thermal gradient something like a mile off shore or more.
It's literally some of the most beautiful and productive fishing grounds in the west coast and I feel very privileged to have grown up there and got to spend so much time out there.
Anyways I could talk all day about all the other great hidden secrets of that stretch of coast but I'll save it for another time! Haha
I will add, since recently some of the land has become accessible to the public again and it's so damn beautiful and a treasure that should be protected is the stretch of coastline hugging the boundary of the northern side of Vandenberg AFB. There is a trail that you can hike that will take you all the way to the very tip of Point Sal and it will offer absolute mind blowing views and pretty much the closest you can get nowadays (sadly... Protect the environment y'all!) of pristine California coastal wildlife. If you're lucky enough and brave enough it's worth the hike!
Wow, you get my vote for the most interesting comment. I cant believe you have fished the outflow of warm water from the plant. So cool. and I have looked at that coast North of Vandenburg and heard rumors of a secret point break that I would like to surf... thanks for your comment
@@the_pov_channel I hope you make it out there! Your surf spot is for sure the same beach I'm thinking of. I'm so torn talking about this stuff. I guess I'm just terrified someone will mess up the place there. On the other hand I worked out a lot of my anxiety and depression on those hikes down to that beach and I wish that for other people.
Best of luck on your adventures!
@@Kyu-yi1of This is the eternal struggle I face. But - if we dont learn to love and appreciate these places, who will be there to protect and preserve them in the future? Also, adventure is to be had to those worthy. It will help them as it has helped us.
Hey @thePOVchannel, long time viewer!
Crazy but I've next to 4 of your top 10! Used to live in Cayucos (north of Diablo) and currently live in Los Alamos.
Both areas are astonishingly gorgous in very different ways!
Apring is approaching, so try to come out to the Valles Caldera here! In spring its COVERED by a unbelievable amount of irises!
This video is great! It shows how small we are, how unique and beautiful Earth is, how untouched yet contaminated our Earth is and just how Nature itself is beautiful. So happy that people like POVchannel have such interest and love for it! Geography is underrated and most of the time mind blowing and stunning!
Another great video...a "bucket list" of sorts....It amazes me how remote parts of our earth still are...
Its a pretty large place eh
A few things I have never heard of and some I've been fascinated with too. Thank you for the great time I had watching your video.
"mohre-tah-knee-ah" weirdest pronounciation on "mauritania", blows my mind a native english speaker can get it that wrong lol
Great video! I thoroughly enjoyed it!
One of the things I love doing is seeking out some super remote little towns in north east Russia and then checking the photos on Google Maps. It’s crazy what you might find and also wild to envision what life there must be like.
Hi from Budapest, I enjoy your discoveries. The Richat structure was a similar sudden discovery for me on Google Earth where I also love discovering places. Noraly, the bike rider of the Itchy Boots channel recently covered the Richat structure and its neighborhood, she crossed it in a diameter. She is a geologist so she could clearly explain what that thing is but still the mistery of the Sahara is there. It has not been a desert in all history and there are interesting finds in Noraly's videos. Her coverage is riding through and stopping occasionally, a walk through could uncover interesting details.
Excellent video, southern Utah is a special place and you pointed a couple things out that I have missed. A close up experience of Number 6, the Eye of the Sahara, can be found on the ItchyBoots channel as she rides her motorcycle to and across it in episodes 20-22 of her 7th series (ItchyBoots S7 - E20), with some great effort I was able to pin point her track on google earth, VERY interesting.
You beat me to it. Itchy Boots is amazing!
The reason why those canyons etc are unnamed is because it is Native land. Whites werent able to get in unil the last treaties were made in the mid to late 1900's
The Grand Tour "Sand Job" Episode also went to the Eye of the Sahara, the way they showed it was pretty cool, too.
Came here to add this. ItchyBoots is a LEGEND! On a motorcycle! Her guide is a master!
@@TechOttawa I assume you are referring to her 'guide' across 'The Eye', other than that, she's pretty much her own guide. She is a LEGEND in her own time, been following her since she first left India 5 or 6 years ago and pin pointing ALL the locations on google earth, what an education! Cheers
Awesome video man!! That was enthralling. I'm fascinated by these remote places, but I don't think I would have the balls to visit them haha.
One of the more interesting remote places I've been is Cabezon Peak in New Mexico. It's an incredibly beautiful and interesting volcanic plug that offers some spectacular scrambling and views of the uninhabited desert wilderness for tens of miles in every direction. It's not terribly remote in the grand scheme of things, though, as you can drive to it in less than two hours from Albuquerque.
Great list and thanks for taking the time to set up your different Google map views and zooms and pans - that all made it a quality video.
Totally intrigued by these places. Thank you for sharing.
I have been blown away from the places you have BEEN TO.....Take care darling...... Blessings darling from Granny Linda in OZ 😊
This video is simultaneously sobering, but also reliving, knowing that there are even places that are still untouched and in many ways untouchable.
Krakatau volcano is also downright impossible to visit, since its geology keep changing every day. You can only see it from the distance
Please do more of these videos, your enthusiasm comes through and I love the format.
Also number one and two are amazing
Hi there! Just watched this video...and was surprised my county made #4 on your list! I've worked out at Diablo Canyon the site, although a nuclear power plant, the access road and surrounding property is beautiful. Because the coastline is cut off to public access, it is well preserved. I am guessing the closest point to the plant was by way of Montano de Oro. Another beautiful and popular surf spot. I hope you fulfill your bucket list of top places you'd like to visit. Take care and please keep posting; I always look forward to your videos!
Wow, that last location looked like it's own stonehenge..Incredible places to visit, and so much we dont know or have explored on this planet. Google earth is great, and would love to explore all of those spots...thanks for sharing.
Excellent content and really enjoyed this. Thanks. Really enjoy your observations and ideas!
Awesome brother! I stayed and worked in Milne point Alaska for a while. We really couldn't explore much there. Definitely lots of mosquitoes and migratory birds and definitely polar and brown bears.
I hike the Fitzgerald River National Park in Western Australia every year with a group of guys. It looks a bit boring from the air but it is full of little secrets, caves, creeks and water holes.
3 and a half days, around 60km, most of which is with no track or man-made water sources, and some of the most untouched and pristine rugged coastline in the world.
Well worth a visit.
Nice video of stunning places. Some of them I heard off before, like the eye of the Sahara. However the last one, besides totally new to me, blew me away. Stunning beauty in winter or summer, and the isolation! If you want to make it accessible for quick visits I guess you need something like an VTOL aircraft with extra fuel capacity. Amazing!
вы можете спокойно прилететь в Якутию, затем сесть в самолёт до деревни, а дальше на снегоходах или лошадях доехать за 3-4 дня до этого места. Можно арендовать вертолёт, но это дорого)
Да ладно, не разрушай им иллюзию, что ууу Россия, ууу Якутия, ууу там вообще одни медведи и все такое. И тут ты такой "сядете на самолет до деревни" - прикинь, как придуманный мир у людей порушится ) Особенно, когда самый отчаянный таки добравшийся увидит, что самолет не ржавый, еда - вкусная, а люди - приветливые )

I have watched a few of your uploads now and mate, im impressed. You seem like a top bloke. I have subscribed.
no u
You left best part out about the Richet structure resembling a lot of Plato's description of Atlantis. Location, the size, the geographic layout.
bro your content is just amazing, I get frustrated when people watch a quality video on UA-cam and even if they like it they don't subscribe, I mean if half the people would subscribe it would be worth going all the trouble creating the video, I wish you millions of subscribers regardless.❤
I’ve maintained that hiking trail at Diablo Canyon when I worked for the CCC in 1996. San Luis Obispo.
Hey thanks for that! Never been, but, park conservation stuff is harder than folks realize and super under appreciated. So thanks!!
Dude I f*cking love this channel. I'm on Google Earth all day at work just dreaming of the day I can get out on the road. I've found some cool stuff in my area but I need MORE! Can't wait to see what you find next!💪 🙏
do not wait until your knees andack go bad
Thank you! Such great content and narrated with such a calming tone 😌💯✌️
You earned a sunscriber friend. Amazing content and information❤
Seeing all these remote places really gives perspective to the true vastness of our earth. It makes it that much more interesting to imagine all the unseen geology, unfound fossils and remnants of ancient civilizations.
Living in Oregon it's so weird to me that a beach/coastline can be owned and closed off to the public, like the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant. Growing up, I took it for granted that I could access any part of the beach. I had no idea that wasn't the case in all coastal states. It's still quite weird to me now, as an adult who plans my own road trips, that I have to keep that in mind!
Oregon law is different than California law.
@@BurntOrangeHorn78 Yes, I'm aware. I'm saying I didn't realize that as a kid and it's strange to me.
Ulakhan-Sis looks absolutely otherworldly! A GREAT #1!!!
Great video, lots of places I've never heard of. I've spent countless nights exploring these super remote places on Maps and the ones I'm most obsessed about are probably the island of Jan Mayen and the volcano Krenitsyna located in the middle of a lake in the middle of one of the Kuril Islands near the Kamchatka Peninsula.
hey the eye of the sahara got ME interested in looking stuff up on google earth too!
AhhhBig Sure coast hwy #1! In high school, Pacific Grove, I had a Vespa scooter and Loved driving to, thru, around, that entire area on my own. No helmet, no heaven more beautiful. The wind, the scent of fresh ocean and fog and sun. Now That's my still #1 place to travel ALL back roads on😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤
Gonna need more google earth video, great format
Thanks for mentioning Butte Creek. I hadn't heard about that and it's very interesting.
I don't do a lot of traveling, but a couple years ago I made it a point to drive all the way around the Olympic peninsula in Washington State. Was able to get to cape flattery before dawn one morning, and hung out alone there for a few hours. During that time I was the northwesternmost human in the contiguous US. I really really enjoyed it.
PG&E of course major stockholders Rockefeller owned investment groups. Land just taken. Diablo it looks like a giants keyboard.
I have two *remote locations* on my list… they are not ‘uninhabited’ places for sure. They both are definitely inhabited - just not with ppl “like me.” Place one is Tetebatu on the island of Lombok in the Indonesian archipelago. Located up small narrow rutted roads on the slopes of the volcano Gunung Merapi - surrounded by terraced rice paddies and tiny local kampung (villages). The second place is the Harau Valley in central Sumatra… a landscape quite similar to Yosemite Valley with soaring cliffs and spectacular waterfalls - also inhabited by local people in small villages surrounded by more rice paddies and lush gardens of spicy chiles and pungent peppers. (PS, the food in both these places is spicy, and delicious!)
Ulakhan-Sis looks amazing. It reminds me of the Mingan Archipelago in Quebec (accessible by a 10 hour drive from Quebec City, but then requires a boat or sea kayaks to get out to some of the spots)
When I was his age I used to walk 2,000 km as part of my daily commute to the ball-crushing factory
Uphill.....coming AND going!
We had to crush our balls manually.
back then people had to eat dog food because it had the most crude protein which is good for your grit. For snacks we chewed tobaccy and saved the spit for when we got thirsty.
Hmm. Did you, by any chance, live at Ulakhan-Sis and work in Yakutsk? Because that's about 1,000km each way, despite the guy's claim that there are no towns within 2,000km.
Just widening the “room” we have al enclosed ourselves within. Ty
Dude. I really like your other format (checking formations and ruins with the dog), but this one was cool. Russia is an isolated place - Kamchatka is another isolated place. Mine? Would have to be in Canada probably - on a canoe trip in 1981 on Wabatongushi and the Nelson River; we literally saw no other canoe parties for 28 days.
It's not nearly as isolated as he claims. He says there are no towns within 2,000km but the city of Yakutsk (population 300,000) is only half that distance away, and Deputatsky (population 3,000) is about 250km away.
Besides a few really tough geographic places the most difficult would certainly be military. But I actually really like that this video didn't go there. Most of these places I never heard of. Clearly many others haven't either since some have little info. Makes me even more curious. Thanks for the video.
Enjoyable video. Ive been inside diablo canyon nuclear plant. Prior to sept 11, a college professor of mine at UC Santa Barbara arranged a field trip for my renewable energy class. We got to actually go inside! I dont remember much because it was about 25 years ago, but i do remember very scary looking guards with very powerful weapons guarding it. I imagine its much different now with security changes over the years. We of course couldnt take pictures inside. Still one of my more interesting college experiences.
Please go explore the Russian rock structures! This was so interesting.👍😉
PGE is an awful company I don't know how they haven't been pushed out
Another remote US location worth looking at is Mt Okmok on Umnak Island in the Rat Island chain of Alaska. It's a massive Caldera miles across, and the landscape looks otherworldly, with the mixing of orange soil composition, igneous rock, active hot springs, and greenery overtaking on all fronts. Quite remote with few photos. An abandoned WWII airbase is also located on a side of the Island. I went wild when I found it on Google Earth. Thanks for the awesome video!
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
Isn’t a ton of polar bears just one polar bear?
Lol
Between 1.25 and 3.3 polar bears.
I looked at the Ulakhan-sis area on Google Maps. It's strange how adjacent quadrants of the map are fairly clear but this area is not. It looks like there is a primitive road leading into the area from the south. Also, to the west of this area, I noticed a perfectly straight south to north scar in the landscape which ended at some peculiar structures at 70.456406, 134.339563. Now, I'm going down the Google Maps rabbit hole once again!
That last one is news to me! Thanks for informing me!
It’s actually pretty easy to go anywhere on google earth! You just demonstrated it!
6:20 I live on the Central Coast and I’ve been on trails all around Diablo Canyon. It shut down a long time ago. If you ever make it back here, I’ll show you some dope trails all around the Central Coast.
The Diablo Canyon power plant is still in operation.
@@paulclarke1297 Do they still have tours? I was on one in the '90s.
Some think the "Eye of Sahara" was Atlantis in the past. That Ulakan-Sis is an unreal looking place, those standing stones, some of them look like giant sentries frozen in time. Very cool, and the stories the land if it could only speak.
they look morphed and alien-like. Jotuns from the old world. That area is also gog magog land
Some also think the earth is flat.
Let's not listen to people with outlandish theories UNLESS they have some actual evidence to back it up...
dude keep making these your knowledge and passion oozes out of the video. im subbing banking on more interesting shit coming...thanks dog
If I'm not mistaken, Diablo Valley Nuclear Power Plant used to offer tours. I went in 2017 as a part of a field trip organized by an environmental club I was a part of. Maybe it wasn't open to public tours and the person who organized it had some sort of special connection, but we got to go in and get a tour (albeit sanitized) of the place. We didn't get to go up to the pools or into anything sensitive obviously, but we were inside the complex. I remember seeing the heavily armed guards as we passed through the entry gates.
You need a small jet and a helicopter. Surely there's some rich person who watches you who could provide these items.;)
Thank you for your service 🙏🏿👍🏿💜
Didn't ask for a like or a sub and delivered a great POV of interesting places. Liking and subbing
Wow. Videos like this rarely surprise me but this is worth it just for that last location!
#5
why no ground or air pictures?
u going there?
or mexico one seems doable?
Nice video. Thanks
this is the best video on UA-cam that I've seen in a long time
I love how much of these places are in the Western US, it really shows how beautiful yet remote and uncharted even places in the states can be!! (Coming from someone who lives near the four corners)
You should become a long distance helicopter explorer.Design your own aircraft and career.
You've just challenged me and my helicopter on msfs 😎
I wasn't expecting South Australia to make an appearance and even a mention of Port Augusta of all places, hi from Adelaide! Been within 200km/120miles of that national park a few times when driving on the Stuart Highway, furthest I've gone out into the desert on the side is Lake Eyre.
Amazing 😍 just found your work and i cant wait to get out there too🎉
