Earth has provided us with plenty of breathtaking places that are not only hard to imagine but also to accept. In an era where we believe to have seen each and everything around the world, there are places graced with unmatchable beauty and charm. You might even wonder how we, the most intelligent creatures on this planet, are still far behind from exploring it completely. It means that we do have locations that seem to have bounced off the most expensive sci-fi movie ever.
Apart from such untouched places we also have destinations that have been uplifted after human interactions. This one of a kind scenery is not only overwhelming but also has the competence to change your perceptions forever. We are blessed to live in a time when traveling to these masterpieces has become easier than ever. If you are among the ones that live to create memories, then the upcoming destinations will top your list of travel goals.
Antarctica
This place might be placed already high on the bucket list of each seasoned traveler. It is often said that one cannot feel satisfied with those huge glaciers no matter how many times they are witnessed. Currently, private travel companies (such as Polar Holidays) organize tours to the white continent that are both environmentally aware and informative. Going past those huge blocks of ice and witnessing penguins, polar bears and snow petrel in their natural environment is as surreal as it can be. You might also catch a glimpse of the blue whale which is enough to humble even the proudest of us all.
