Which place has no competition when it comes to the terrible weather there?

In India there is a city where nobody would want to go on holiday, even though it is surrounded by quite attractive scenery.

Cherrapunji is, in fact, the rainiest settlement in the world.

It rains here literally every day. On average, there is about 12,000 mm of rainfall per year.

Approximately 10,000 people live permanently in the city.

And they always wear a raincoat and carry an umbrella.

Agriculture doesn't work here.

That's why cement is produced and coal and limestone are extracted.

The city has a large cement factory, and there are several industrial centers in the surrounding area for the extraction of coal and limestone.

People work in industrial plants or engage in trade.

There's not much more you can do here.

The mountainous landscape surrounding the city forms continuous funnels of clouds.

Only between November and February does it receive slightly less rain than usual.

The locals have long since learned to adapt to this challenging environment.

In areas where roads turn into rivers after rain, people build living bridges, for example.

These structures are built using tree roots. Cherrapunji is famous for these bridges.

And every day, despite the rain and puddles, the locals go to work, go fishing, and even go for walks.

But how they dry their laundry... I couldn't find out.

What is the strangest place on Earth?

 Not many people can claim hell as their birthplace.

But Todd Domboski and the few thousand former residents of Centralia, Pennsylvania, come closest to that distinction.

Signs warn visitors of the dangers of death by suffocation or being swallowed by the ground, but the old mining town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, was once home to more than 1,000 people.

Now it is nothing more than a smoldering ghost town that has been burning for half a century.

It started with a fire that was intentionally set to burn out a landfill for Labor Day in 1962.

The problem was that the dump was also an old mine connected to a maze of abandoned underground mine tunnels full of coal.

Although the city managed to extinguish the fire above ground, a much larger inferno burned beneath it, eventually making its way under the city center of Centralia.

The fire was so widespread, destructive, and endless—it is said that there is enough coal underground to stoke the fire for another 250 years.

- that in 1980 a $42 million plan prompted most residents to move (most houses were demolished), leaving only about a dozen survivors behind.

What place on Earth would be more inhospitable to human life?

 Unexpectedly, it's neither the Sahara Desert, nor the icy plains of Antarctica, nor the dangerously deadly Amazon rainforest…

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Rannoch Moor , in the heart of Scotland.

Rannoch Moor is only six kilometers in diameter and doesn't seem so bad. But a few years ago, one of those crazy people who want to conduct survival experiments decided to challenge Rannoch Moor.

See that beautiful hut? Well, that's where they found 29-year-old David Austin, dead from hypothermia after trying to survive on Rannoch Moor.

The problem with this place is that it's very flat and open. And worse: the ground isn't solid. It's an area full of moss, where you'll walk through muddy swamps and soggy marshes.

There's nowhere to rest. There are no trees. There's no dry land. And if you try to cross Rannoch Moor even a little bit faster than normal, you're quite likely to badly twist your ankle.

What is the deadliest place on Earth?

 The deadliest place in the world can be measured in different ways:

1. Most gruesome death
2. Fastest death
3. Fundamentally hostile to life

For a gruesome death, I would recommend a final cannonball into Lake Irazú in Costa Rica. This lake is an acidic crater lake where a gruesome death is guaranteed!

In my opinion, the candidate for the fastest death is the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. This volcano can reach temperatures well over 1000°C, which guarantees an exceptionally quick death.

Finally, I would like to mention the coldest places in the world, since cold makes life impossible. The cold brings chemical processes to a standstill, thus halting all forms of life. One such place is the Pole of Cold, a high plateau in eastern Antarctica where temperatures can plummet to -90°C.

Where is a place you absolutely cannot live?

 Yakutsk, Russia, Yakut Autonomous Region.

Temperatures in Yakutsk can drop below -70°C . Wearing metal objects (necklaces, bracelets, rings) here is practically suicidal, and even eyeglass frames must be made strictly of plastic. In fact, metal will stick to the skin at the same temperature.

They cut off entire pieces of human flesh

in case we try to escape .

Then the building

is equipped with three layers of doors to block out

the hellish cold

and will collapse decades later (given the layer of perpetual ice sinking between the foundations ). Hanging bags are suspended from every window, which function as a real natural refrigerator. A wet T-shirt will freeze in seconds and become a solid mass.

Eyelashes can freeze , and those without the ability to adapt to such conditions are at risk of quickly developing eye inflammation . You cannot turn off your car engine; it must always be left on . If these are turned off, the entire engine, oil, and radiator can freeze, potentially causing irreparable damage to the vehicle.

What locations seem cut right out of a horror film?

 There is a well in England—if you put anything inside of it—it will be turned to stone.

Sounds like fiction right?

Mostly—it’s not.

Above you are seeing a series of everyday items hanging over this well, they have been converted into stone over the course of several months.

Mother Shipton’s Cave and Petrifying Well in England was long thought to be cursed by a witch, who hated society and resented it for her mistreatment.

But science has since revealed that petrification happens simply because the water has a very high concentration of minerals which runs over the objects. (Source: Mother Shipton's Cave and the Petrifying Well. Atlas Obscura)

More specifically, the waters continually running over this material quickly adds a layer of stone to everything that is left within it, effectively petrifying it.

It is a strange and beautiful planet we live on.

What is the most difficult place on Earth to invade?

 Take a look at this seemingly unremarkable building, which could be a company headquarters or a multi-tenant building.

The true purpose of this building is something you would never guess from its unassuming exterior.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "All the gold bullion in Fort Knox"? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York holds far more gold bullion than Fort Knox. That's $250 billion worth, or 7,000 tons of gold bullion.

The United States owns only a small portion of it; most of it belongs to foreign central banks and international organizations.

Considering who owns some of the most valuable things in the world, this building must have some special features that justify their trust. Shall we take a peek inside?

First of all, the building is guarded by armed security guards, and the perimeter is constantly monitored by security cameras.

If you manage to slip past that, the next stop is the underground vault 24 meters deep where the gold bars are stored. The only passage leading up to it is a single 90-ton steel cylinder surrounded by a 140-ton steel and concrete frame. This passage is usually tilted at a 90-degree angle and is blocked by four iron bars until opening hours.

Outside of business hours, this passageway is sealed to such an extent that neither water nor air leaks out, and a person would suffocate in three days.

Once you pass through here, you will finally reach the inside of the vault. The vault room is under the same 24-hour surveillance as the building, plus it is equipped with motion sensors.

Congratulations! Now, let's take your gold bars. The gold bars are stored in separate compartments for each of the 122 account holders. Each compartment requires two combination locks, one padlock, and the auditor's seal. Unlocking each compartment requires three people: two New York Fed employees and one internal auditor. No single employee knows how to open all the locks.

Now, you finally have the gold bars in your hands. Each bar weighs a little over 12 kilograms, and there are more than 500,000 of them in total. Shall we make our escape now? But it won't be that easy. You'll have to go back through that tube, but it will probably be tilted 90 degrees or filled with New York City police officers who are dying to meet you.

Shall we start digging underground? The vault, like the passageway, is surrounded by a steel and concrete frame, and as a key part of the security system, it's equipped with a device that detects vibrations underground. Of course, we'll be digging in the heart of Manhattan, a place that's sure to attract a lot of attention.

There has never been a physical attempt to enter this building. This speaks volumes about how tightly this place is protected. Even if a brave challenger were to appear, it would undoubtedly end in mere "attempt."

What's the most amazing place you'll never be able to visit?

 Fascinating places you'll probably never visit in your life:

• The Coca-Cola Vault in Atlanta, USA

• Lascaux Caves, France – closed to the public since 1963.

• The Svalbard World Seed Vault – an underground vault on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen designed to store the seeds of all the world's food crops in one safe place and thus preserve genetic diversity.

• Fort Knox, USA - a military camp used to store American gold.

• Chernobyl Exclusion Zone , Ukraine

• Diego Garcia, Indian Ocean - a beautiful island with a large US naval and military base, off-limits to the public.

• Mariana Trench, Pacific Ocean - the deepest ocean trench known to date.

• Pravcicka Brana, Czech Republic – It’s tempting to walk on this arch, but it’s closed to the public due to the risk of collapse.
• Bhangarh Fort, Rajasthan, India - Tourists can visit Bhangarh, but no one lingers there because it is forbidden to spend time there after sunset due to a supposed curse on the site.
• Spy Museum, China - Foreign visitors are not welcome here.

• Vatican Secret Archives, Vatican City – This may be the largest collection of historical artifacts in the world, yet only a handful of people have been allowed inside.

• North Sentinel Island, India - The island's inhabitants, who have lived on it for over 60,000 years, are extremely averse to outside influences and remain completely disconnected from the modern world. To respect this isolation, Indian authorities prohibit visits to the island (and residents often kill overly curious visitors).

What is an unreachable place on earth?

 Humans are extremely resilient and have reached places that once seemed impossible, the Summit of Mt. Everest, the depths of Mariana trench, the frozen land of Antarctica and even the surface of the Moon. Yet there exists a place right here on Earth that no human has ever stepped on and likely no one ever will.

The place I am talking about is the Tongshanjiabu, an unclimbed and unattempted Himalayan peak with a height of about 7207 meters. No human has ever reached its summit.

What's makes this even more astonishing is that it was first photographed only in the year 2000. Before that, only the locals and a handful of cartographers knew about its existence. Even today it remains virtually unknown to the world.

Given it's unique location on the disputed China-Bhutan border and Bhutan's absolute ban on climbing peaks higher than 6000 meters since 2003, it is virtually impossible for any human to set foot on it.

Which famous place attracts an untold number of people every year?

 

See this ramp?

At first glance, it might look like a corridor where someone walked while the concrete was still wet, leaving behind footprints and numerous ruts.

Actually, this isn't the case at all.

What you see are footprints, yes, but they're caused by the asphalt being worn away by all the people who walk over them every year. And a lot of people walk over them, because it's the main corridor of the world's most visited tourist attraction: the Great Wall of China.

Around 10 million people visit this site every year, and considering that it has existed for over 2000 years, the total number of visitors is almost incalculable.

What is the most dangerous place on Earth?
