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.
