Investigator, Investigator Malayalam presenting new video about 8 Places On Earth That Are Still Unexplored. In this video we are mainly looking Top 9 Unexplored Places on Earth.
Movile Cave
Movile Cave (Romanian: Peștera Movile) is a cave near Mangalia, Constanța County, South-Eastern Romania, a few kilometers from the Black Sea coast. It was discovered by Cristian Lascu in 1986 at the bottom of an artificial shaft dug for geological investigations. It is notable for its unique groundwater ecosystem rich in hydrogen sulfide, methane and ammonia but very poor in oxygen. Speleogenesis in this area was initiated in the late Miocene (5.5 million years ago) and continues today by the action of the sulfuric acid resulted from the oxidation of sulfide in the lower part of the cave. Movile Cave was the first ever discovered subterranean chemosysthesis-based ecosystem.
Local man Ho Khanh discovered Son Doong in 1990 while searching Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park for food and timber to earn a modest income. During his search he stumbled across an opening in a limestone cliff, noticed clouds billowing out from the entrance and heard the sounds of a river raging from somewhere inside. He returned home and forgot about the cave.
Ho Khanh met Howard and Deb Limbert of the British Cave Research Association (BRCA), who were conducting exploratory caving expeditions in the area. After hearing his stories, they urged Ho Khanh to rediscover the cave, which he eventually did in 2008, after several attempts. In 2009, he led Howard, Deb and a team of other caving professionals to the opening. After the first survey in 2009, the team were able to conclude that the cave had the largest cross-section of any cave anywhere on the planet.
Sima Humboldt and Sima Martel
On the top of the grim, forest covered mountain, in a cave, there is living Evil Spirit, hunting for humans. Sometimes he is heard devouring human flesh and then a terrible sound “Sari… sari…” is heard…
This legend of Ye’kuana Indians gave the name to Sarisariñama tepui - a spectacular, forested table-top mountain in one of the most remote areas in South America - south-eastern Venezuela.
It was only on November 25, 1961 that a famous jungle pilot Harry Gibson happened to fly over this mysterious mountain and spotted something unusual - a carpet of beautiful green forest that was perforated by two enormous and apparently very deep holes - each having a patch of forest at their bottoms.
Chellenger Deep
Located in the western Pacific east of the Philippines and an average of approximately 124 miles (200 kilometers) east of the Mariana Islands, the Mariana Trench is a crescent-shaped scar in the Earth’s crust that measures more than 1,500 miles (2,550 kilometers) long and 43 miles (69 kilometers) wide on average. The distance between the surface of the ocean and the trench’s deepest point-the Challenger Deep, which lies about 200 miles (322 kilometers) southwest of the U.S. territory of Guam-is nearly 7 miles (11 kilometers). If Mount Everest were dropped into the Mariana Trench, its peak would still be more than a mile (1.6 kilometers) underwater.
The Mariana Trench is part of a global network of deep troughs that cut across the ocean floor. They form when two tectonic plates collide. At the collision point, one of the plates dives beneath the other into the Earth’s mantle, creating an ocean trench.
The depths of the Mariana Trench were first plumbed in 1875 by the British ship H.M.S. Challenger as part of the first global oceanographic cruise. The Challenger scientists recorded a depth of 4,475 fathoms (about five miles, or eight kilometers) using a weighted sounding rope.
East Scotia Ridge
The East Scotia Ridge sounds like something straight out of Jules Verne. It’s an isolated realm in the Southern Ocean where hot, chemical-rich water jets from below the ocean floor. Snow-white crabs with hairy bodies and claws pile atop each other in dense beds - a smorgasbord for seven-armed sea stars that are seen nowhere else on Earth. And a new type of octopus, also white, patrols the warm depths.
The East Scotia Ridge is about 800 miles to the east of the tip of South America. It’s a region where the sea floor is spreading apart, allowing molten rock to push upward and build new crust. Water percolates through cracks in the rocks, where it’s heated to temperatures of up to 700 degrees Fahrenheit. Some of that water shoots out through cracks, or through tall chimneys built from minerals in the super-heated water.
Mount Roraima
Mount Roraima is a spectacular flat table mountain surrounded by sheer cliffs creating an island floating in the sky on the plains of the Gran Sabana (the Great Savannah), a large part of south eastern Venezuela. The mountain is the highest of the Pakaraima chain of tepuis in South America. and more thank you for watching our video kindly please like, Share and Subscribe for more video updates..
