Let's take a look at some of the world's unspoilt places that are beautiful because they have been left untouched,and remember the importance of keeping them pristine.
Nunavut,Canada
Auyuittuq National Park,which means "the land that never melts",is just one of the shocking wonders in Nunavut,There are many icefalls,mountains,and deep valleys while hikers cross the 60 m Akshayuk Pass in the summer.And that's just one attraction.From narrow seas to mountains,there are three areas in Nunavut,all with beautiful natural land feature.Visitors can hunt,fish,mountain hike,and walk across ice flows.
Namib Desert,Namibia
A coastal desert in the southern area of Africa,it is known for its burnt orange-golden sands.The Namib has been dry for at least 55 million years and possibly as many as 80 million.The name means "vast space",and it spreads more than 1200 miles.The hill of sands can reach up to 980 feet high and 20 miles long.Amazingly,the temperatures striking against cold currents create a fog belt that often covers the desert.
Antarctica
Perhaps the last unspoilt place,Antaretica is an empty landscape.No trees grow here,and one must travel with a tourism company in order to visit.Admire icebergs,sea lions,whales,and listen to the sound of absolutely nothing.
Fiordland,New Zealand
One of the most shocking areas of New Zealand,F(xiàn)iordland can be seen on foot,by air,or by water.The Milford Track is one of the most famous walks,with the tallest waterfall in the country and impressive valley views.Lake Monowai is a glassy,mirrorlike body of water surrounded by mountains and best explored by boating on a still day.
