10 Most Pristine Places on the Earth [PICS]

Although the civilization surround us everywhere, there are several places on this earth that is still pristine, almost untouched by the human deed. Starting from the Antarctica continent to the forests of Papua New Guinea.

Here are some of the most beautiful places on the planet:



10. Namibia
Namibia is one of the countries with the most rare in population in the world. The name Namibia itself, one of the southern African countries are taken from the Namib Desert, the home of 2500 cheetah. With the giant sand dunes, ancient Petroglyph, crater and waterfall, Namibia became one of the most untouched landscape in Africa. Namibia also became one of the countries that put matters related to maintenance of ecosystem in its constitution.


9. Galapagos
Although from Darwin(main island) to the unique islands is always followed by countless tourists, the Galapagos Islands is still a pure place. The islands are home to giant tortoises, iguanas, sea lions, penguins, whales and fish. Inhabited by 23,000 residents and hundreds of endemic species, the islands also became a place of living marine conservation for fifty years.


8. Papua New Guinea
Scientists believe that many species of plants and animals that have not been found are existed here. Exploitation of natural resources is hampered by rough terrain, the legal system and the high cost of infrastructure development. Due to the current human problems, most of the landscape is still difficult to touch.


7. Seychelles
Seychelles has the largest percentage of soil conservation compared to other countries. About 50 percent of the total area of ​​this island is under conservation. Therefore, Seychelles is home to some incredible pristine beaches and species such as the national bird, the Seychelles black parrot. Visitors who get there are relatively few, especially along the coastline of soft "powdered" stretching as far as 305 miles (490 kilometers).


6. Bhutan
While some people might think if Tibet as a paradise tainted, his cousin, Bhutan, is much cleaner. More than 60 percent of the territory covered by forest and a quarter of the territory designated as national parks or protected areas. Known as the Land of Thunder Dragon, this country has rugged mountain ranges and valleys so that it is a right place to be a hotspot for biodiversity.


5. Daintree National Park, Australia
Sometimes something get older, is getting increasingly untouchable. It is the same case as the Daintree National Park in Far North Queensland, Australia, which contains 110 million years old rainforest-one of the oldest ecosystems on earth. This park is home to thousands of species of plants and trees that are older than 2,500 years.


4. Fiordland, New Zealand
At the southern tip of the west coast of New Zealand, the Fiordland region is still wild, rough and zero development. With high mountains that fall into the rocky waters of serration, Fiordland has never had permanent residents. In fact, the Maori people just visit it only for a while in order to hunt, fish and to collect jade. In addition, the air currents are blowing straight from Antarctica which make Fiordland's air is one of the cleanest on the planet.


3. Kamchatka, Russia
Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East is a place of wild and empty with the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in the west. Volcanoes and glaciers surrounds the peninsula. Mega-earthquake has rocked this peninsula in the last five decades.


2. Atacama Desert, Chile

Atacama is one of the strange sights in the world: the desert did not get rain at all. Basin salt, sand and lava cover much of the region which has an area of ​​40,000 square miles (103,600 square km). In fact, NASA designed the Mars test here. This place is also one of the best places in the world to conduct astronomical observations. There are currently two major observatories.


1. Antarctica

Antarctica is a place that is really untouched. 96 percent of the continent is covered with ice, with an average thickness of more than one mile (1.6 km). Penguins, whales, seals and sea birds use the calm water areas around Antarctica to look for food.


What's your comment? Have you know such places?
Honestly, I'd know it all but I don't know whether it is a pristine place. Anyway I like Seychelles and Papua New Guinea; it's clean, natural and beautiful.
