The Draugen offshore oil platform<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Draugen offshore oil platform in Norway is really impressive. It is located in the North Sea and is one of the key oil platforms in the region.

Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The tomb of Qin Shi Huang is inarguably one of the greatest historical finds to date. It was discovered during the unearthing of the Terracotta Army (which you\u00a0can<\/i>\u00a0visit) in 1974 and has yet to be excavated out of respect for Chinese history and culture. Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor of imperial China and the founder of the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC.<\/p>\n

Surtsey Island, Iceland<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Iceland\u2019s Surtsey Island formed during a volcanic eruption that lasted from 1963 to 1967, making it one of the youngest islands in the world. It is currently used for scientific research only with the goal of observing how ecosystems develop without human interference.<\/p>\n

Chapel of the Ark of the Covenant, Ethiopia<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Legend has it that the Ark of the Covenant \u2013 which supposedly holds the written Ten Commandments \u2013 lies inside of an Ethiopian church called The Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion. Unfortunately none of us laypeople are allowed into the chapel \u2013 not even historians or researchers \u2013 so no one knows whether this is true or not. That privilege is reserved for the \u201cguardian\u201d of the ark.<\/p>\n

Robins Island, New York<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Robins Island in Long Island, New York, was originally purchased by Louis Moore Bacon with the intent of becoming a private escape of vacation homes for his family. While it does operate as that, it also turned into a nature preserve to protect the endangered species of the region.<\/p>\n

Doomsday Vault, Norway<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Svalbard Global Seed (or \u201cDoomsday\u201d) Vault is scientists\u2019 answer to a potential future apocalypse. The purpose of the vault, which is located in Norway, is to store millions of seeds in case the human race ever needs to restore any vegetation. The vault is ready for practically any kind of apocalypse: it\u2019s tucked away in the mountains above sea level, can withstand earthquakes and explosions, and is built to last about 200 years. It\u2019s pretty clear why no one beside authorized people are allowed in the vault.<\/p>\n

Lascaux Caves, France<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lascaux Caves in Montignac, France contain a stunning collection of cave paintings that were created over generations of early humans. Unfortunately everyone but researchers are forbidden from entering the cave, but you can visit Lascaux II, which is an exact replica located about 600 feet away from the original. Surely not quite as exhilarating as visiting the real thing, but it\u2019s a very close second!<\/p>\n

North Sentinel Island<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Situated in the Bay of Bengal is North Sentinel Island, home to the Sentinelese indigenous people. They are one of the last populations on earth who have yet to come into contact with the modern world and have been known to meet outsiders with violence. For this reason, it is strongly suggested that no one visits there.<\/p>\n

Snake Island, Brazil<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ilha da Queimada Grande, otherwise known as \u201cSnake Island,\u201d would be Indiana Jones\u2019 worst nightmare. The island, which is located off the coast of Brazil, is positively crawling (or should we say, slithering) with endangered snakes. It\u2019s closed to the public to protect both people and the snakes that inhabit it<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
