The Lasco Caves are made up of a series of caverns covering an area of ​​around 75 acres. More than 600 paintings of large animals, local plant species and various other symbols, some of which date back more than 17,000 years. In 1948, the caves were studied and opened to the public, with over 1,200 people venturing out to see them every day. Every day this began to cause some serious problems, although due to the carbon dioxide, heat, humidity and other pollutants that were released, released into the caves, as a result the paintings were visibly beginning to deteriorate with signs of fungus and lichen beginning to grow on the walls.

The decision was also made to close the caves in 1963 and embark on a restoration project; they remain out of reach to all but authorized researchers to this day. Instead, several replicas have been made, as well as a virtual reality version of the caves to hopefully give people the opportunity to admire the beauty of the paintings without causing further damage to them number 14 maya bay thailand there is no There is no doubt that Thailand has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world covered in crystal clear white sand leading into perfectly blue waters and if there is one that stands out above the rest it is Maya Bay Beach on Kobibi Island.

Ise 13th Grand Shrine, Japan. There are said to be up to 80,000 Shinto shrines across Japan and people are just as likely to pray at home as in a public building, and while most welcome anyone wishing to use them for their spiritual beliefs, there is one that only a few Selected people can enter what is known as the Great Ise Shrine, it was built to honor Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun and the universe.

Enter the priests and members of the imperial royal family. The closest anyone can get is to see the shrine from the outside through the wooden fences that surround it, but walking around the grounds, which include a forest and an array of ornaments, is permitted. walkways that were built about 150 years ago number 12 morgan island united states off the coast of south carolina there is a 4,400 acre rock outcrop known as morgan island it has been completely off limits to visitors since 1979. historically due to its remote position has never been used permanently by people, but that year a colony of free-ranging rhesus monkeys was moved there from Puerto Rico and the risk of spreading disease meant that it simply wasn't safe for anyone to come into contact with them, which is why which they had to be.

The first thing that moved was that they were part of a research facility and there was a big problem with the transmission of herpes b virus infections and the island was chosen so that they could be studied and live their lives in a controlled environment that is now operated and supervised.

There were also concerns about visitors disrespecting Uluru after a series of incidents of tourists drinking alcohol and stripping at the top of the sacred mound, so in 2017 there was a unanimous vote to ban people from climbing it.

That is the strange case of mezgorai, which is located in the southern Ural mountains in the Russian republic of Bashkiria and despite having an estimated population of around 16,000 people, is completely isolated from the outside world. It is believed that it was founded in 1979 and officially declared a city in 1995 and that it also has a base hidden in the mountains. As a number of top secret Russian military projects are carried out, the residents are all employees or families of employees of the Russian government, so it has been possible to keep it secret from what we know about the city.

It is probably the place, for example, where Russia kept 73 of its nuclear warheads during the Cold War and there are suggestions that it is the location of the country's Dead Hand project which can supposedly automatically launch a nuclear attack against the rest of the world the less it is know about the city, the more rumors spread about it too, such as that it is where the Russians keep evidence of the existence of aliens and where they are developing the next generation of weaponry of mass destruction, whatever the truth is, it is certainly not something that Any ordinary citizen or tourist will be able to find out because if you get too close without permission you will soon face the barrel of a rifle and the suggestion that you turn your back on the number nine.

North Sentinel Island Bay of Bengal. North Sentinel Island is part of Andaman. archipelago of islands in the Bay of Bengal and falls within Indian territorial waters, while most of the other islands are open to visitors and tourists and offer exactly what you would expect from a tropical island retreat.

The Venetian Lagoon in northern Italy is an enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea where there are a number of protected islands, including the most famous Venice. The city is actually built on 118 small islands that are connected by more than 400 bridges and was first settled more than 2,500 years ago and the surrounding islands have supported central Maine, one known as poveglia is abandoned and Access is very restricted, not because of anything that is happening there today but because of its historical past, it was originally inhabited but before the war.

The city had become a center of tourism and commerce, but there were growing risks of people falling ill. like the plague, so anyone who showed any symptoms had to go there. It was used for this purpose for almost a century and then in 1922 the buildings were converted and converted into an asylum before finally being abandoned in 1968 during these two countless uses.

They are also covered by 41 separate glaciers and are home to a wide range of different plant and animal species. Although they are volcanic in origin, they are mainly made up of limestone and scattered bits of other rocks, which means that they are relatively fragile compared to most other islands and is why Australia prohibits visitors from going there.

It was a plutonic, meaning it was a site. dedicated to the god of the underworld Pluto and is a small cave that is large enough to fit one person inside mentioned by several high profile writers from the time when it was said to be an incredibly dangerous place and that only the most devout could enter and return safely during the time of the Greeks, there was another building in front of the cave and this was also a deadly space, to the point that vendors would sell animals to visitors so that they could bring them closer to the cave and see how What at first sounds like a legend would die quickly actually has a scientific basis behind it and it was recently discovered that Pluto's gate has a series of cracks in the surrounding rock through which large amounts of carbon dioxide gas leak, since it is invisible. and denser than air.

When the eruption ended in June 1967, a new island chain had formed. The largest of which was called Surtsey and gave scientists incredible insight into how islands are created. The other formations were soon worn away due to ocean erosion, but Surtsey is still there to this day and is only expected to fall back under water. waves in about a century, it has long been a protected site that only authorized researchers are allowed to approach, but this has nothing to do with safety, rather it is to prevent pollution on the island so that researchers can further study the development of new islands, bacteria, fungi and Molds were, for example, the first living organisms to appear on Surtsey and provide the basis of the ecosystem that could support more complex life.

There are believed to be 89 species of birds and 335 invertebrates in the area and this number is expected to increase as time goes on number two niau island united states the westernmost and seventh largest island of the hawaiian archipelago is known as niyiau and It covers an area of ​​69 square miles.
