5 Incredible Places Humans Have Never Explored 

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Head to keeps.com/SIMON to get a special offer.

Born to late to explore the world Born to early to explore the stars But born at just the right time to explore the many RU-vid channels belonging to Simon.

When I was young, I wanted to be an explorer, and my parents told me everything on earth had been discovered. Now my son wants to be an explorer and I show him these kind of videos

Finds cave all by himself. Turns around. Someone was paying attention to all the horror movies.

I love that I’ve been to one of these… in 2013 I was lucky enough to be the first tourist to touch the Great Wall of Vietnam at the end of Hang Son Doong. On the first trial tour Ho Kanh went with us to the entrance and Howard and Deb Limbert from the British caving expedition that initially explored the cave led us in. It was all pretty humbling when Howard told us that more people had been to the surface of the moon. And I was only there out of sheer dumb luck.

Fun fact, that massive cave on vietnam is so vast, it even has its own weather and ecosystems.

The sleeper & greenland sharks have parasites that attach to their eyes and blind them and theyre known to live hundreds of years. Just imagine living a life swimming blindly thru a world of darkness for hundreds of years. Truly an alien experience.

"Too late for tall ships, too early for starships."

Another one is the Devil's Hole cave system and underground lake. The upper parts have been explored but cave goes down so far beyond what's been explored that the lower reaches are called the infinity cave. The water in the cave system apparently connects to some sort of massive underground sea, seismic activity across the world causes some pretty large reactions in the water there.

The born too late part still checks out, because the places that have not been explored by people are now off limits to people exploring them.

0:55 - Chapter 1 - Tsingu de bemaraha 2:45 - Mid roll ads 4:25 - Chapter 2 - Gangkhar puensum 7:05 - Chapter 3 - Vale do javari 9:30 - Chapter 4 - Hang son doong cave 11:55 - Chapter 5 - Bottom of the ocean

Giant sea spider is three words I never needed in a sentence together 😭

I would wager that there are numerous amazing unexplored places in Antarctica.

Victor Vescovo uses a thoroughly tested and maintained 35 million dollar titanium submarine, not low quality fiberglass and a X-box controller...

The ocean HAD to be on the list I remember being a kid and reading about giant squid in a myths book ❤

I love caves so much. There is just this amazing awe of being so small in the presence of nature like that.

A good example is Nunavut canada. Even near it's southern border it's a twisting Maze of lakes for hundreds of miles in every Direction. the only road you will find would be in the small towns that are only accessible by plane

What’s bizarre is we’ve gone so far up that we’ve put unmanned drones on other planets, but we’ve been unable to get a drone to the deepest part of our oceans

Gotta love the suit and socks Sponsorship 😂😂

7:08 "We have little to no communication with these people," ....but boy they can get their hands on some sweet shorts!

You missed a "secret" canyon/valley in southern Utah that has only 1 cave as an entrance, the trail to it is not listed on any map, and only a very few researchers visit each year; they aren't telling anybody how to find it or when they are next going there. It is pristine, unmarred by cattle, horses, hikers, and atv riders.

"These places have never been explored" "We know quite a bit about it and have been going there for ages" Yep, checks out.

Fun fact: in the local Dzongkha language, Bhutan is the Land of the Thunder Dragon, their 43 yr old ruler is the Dragon King and he wears the Raven Crown!

Plans were considered to build a cable car through the Hang Son Doong cave. The proposed system would be 10.5 km (6.5 mi) long, and cost between US$112 and $211 million. However, the plans were opposed by environmentalists and locals because of the damage mass tourism could cause to the cave and local environment. The plan was ultimately cancelled by local government.

I gotta know what Simons work schedule is. This man just works and works and works and his voice never sounds raspy.

7:37 .. the girls seem to have their walmart shopping fully in order! .. Brand new polyester tops, latest styles to!! :)

That Victor Vescovo guy should go dive into Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world at 1642 meters, just to make his dive records complete.

I went to Italy a few years ago and wanted to trek up Vesuvius from the coastal town, but found out it was a police protected area. It's a shame because the views are stunning and it only takes about 5-6 hours, which isn't too bad considering the amount of walls and fences you have to climb over. Allegedly.

2:48 speaking of hair, who remembers when Simon still had his? Pepperidge Farms remembers. 😉

I love the Hang Son Doong cave so much, I've done research into it in the past. It's got caverns so massive that it has its own climate and weather! I'd love to be able to visit it one day.

Love the video. I think one place to add would be the Congo. The Congolese Rainforest is roughly the size of Alaska and Texas combined and while the areas close to the river are known the deep jungle is largely unexplored or mapped.

Thank you Simon! Love *all* your videos! - V. Vescovo

I've often wondered why researchers haven't sent down auxiliary lighting set-ups that go down with them but stay about 100-200 meters away so that they can see through the water beyond what their onboard lights can! I think it would be... illuminating!

The main theory why we don’t see large animals on land is that we used to, but they all got killed by a small mega predator called the Homo Saipan. Despite their relatively small size, those things are deadly predators.

"Never" sounds like a challenge waiting to be tested.

There's a line in a Johnny Cash song, think it's "The Singer", which says "born 200 years too late, and 200 years too soon", same sentiment I think.

Four out of five of these being illegal doesn't really change the premise that we've born too late for exploration.

Awesome video as usual! Would love to see an episode specifically about humanity's efforts to map the oceans depths, and what is currently being done to continue that work.

There are still more unexplored areas. Tasmania has some. New Guinea, Indonesia and the Congo, too.

Awesome content! Thank you

11:53 - David Attenborough : The deep ocean is challenging to explore as space! We know MORE about the surface of Mars than the deepest parts of our oceans.

Born too late to explore the surface. Born too early to explore the stars. Born at just the right time to explore the abyssal plains.

Thanks for the awesome video!

2:54 I like to think Simons' hair ran off and settled down with an attractive merkin and now they're raising a brood of sideburns and moustachios.

Great video

2:38 yeah it's really cool how little pockets of ecosystems can pop up like at the top birds will nest and reptiles can get the UVB and what not and then when they don't want any more sun they can just crawl under and get that shade eat insects that are also going to be in that little crevices of the Rocks there's just I can keep going about the whole ecosystem of a rock

With their increase in popularity and utility, drones could be used to explore/survey areas of the stone forest that are inaccessible to human traversal.

I loved this video. I am fascinated by caves and ocean exploration especially. I have often wondered if the sea creatures drawn on old maps were not as exaggerated as modern people would think. Before humans began traveling on the oceans more regularly, and hunting creatures living hundreds of miles off shore, I imagine that some sea creatures had time to grow quite large.

"These successful expeditions also represent improvements in submersible technology, bringing an optimistic outlook to the future of ocean exploration." Simon, OceanGate would like a word with you.

Love Simon's channels. It has such a range of subjects and also, the presentation of the topics go from quite serious and informative, like this one, all the way to snarky and off-the-cuff improv. WTG Simon!

Love your videos.. and I always look forward to the next one coming out. Although - Improvements in submersible technology you say - well let’s not talk about Stockton 💀

We're not born to late to explore the earth. Do you think the great explorers we learned about in school were really the first people to get to where they "discovered"? As long as it's the first time for you, you're an explorer.

Could drones get into some parts of that cave system, or would remote control be too difficult given all the walls?

That huge cave in Vietnam must be one of the most fantastic and magical places on Earth. I wish to visit it someday. It's probably super expensive though

When you think about how long Vietnam was in a state of war it's amazing the Hang son doog cave was never discovered or utilised. I am always gobsmacked that this cave existed and nobody knew or at least spoke of it.

Almost to a million on this channel factboy

It may still be possible to find plastic in every place on earth

This was fun, thanks!

I've been to the Stone Forest in Yunnan Province in the south of China (a very similar geologic place to Tsingy) and it is absolutely one of the coolest places I've ever been

Thank you for mentioning Dom and Bruno, they were brave fighters

Traded in all his hair power points for beard power points lol but cool video been binge watching yall for a few days now, dont plan on stopping either lol

Those cave ceilings are higher than the ceilings at Redbans comedy club

That squid is wild. I go see it every time I'm in Welly.

"They weren't able to explore the entire cave, as they were stopped in their tracks by a 60-meter tall wall. The following year, they came back better prepared, and were able to traverse the wall..." They had to unlock the space boots and the screw attack, first.

Do you ever rewatch yourself and note how you absolutely murder words? Its almost comical

I visited the Philippines and went to an island with limestone rocks and those rocks completely block cell signal. Scary to think if you fell or got stuck in the stone forest you'd be out of luck with signal.

I love when he's pitching keeps. It's a lesson in product pitching and shows off his skill at it. Like "how does a guy with no hair pitch hair growth products?"...watch and learn lol.

So the first one is unexplored because it’s unexplorable. Second one, climbers are banned. Great work. Third one, protected and illegal to enter. Great work.

Not gonna lie, there's a million of these "unexplored" videos and I click on every one of them

we (gen x) have imo lived through the craziest period of change in human history; and we not dead yet!

I almost thought the guy climbing the rocks in the thumbnail was tom scott at first.

5:35 "couldn't even find the mountain to begin with" Did anyone see where I put my mountain?

This video has renewed my faith, that Nessie really exists.😂

born to late to explore the earth born to early to explore the stars born just in time to explore the oceans

Deep sea tourism is definitely an exciting opportunity and……….ah never mind.

That 'Stone Forest' reminds me of the transition screen entering the 3rd Episode 'Inferno' in Doom which is basically Hell. Funny fact is, the Nature Reserve is 666 square kilometers

Does anyone know the operatic tune a little bit into the intro? That shit used to make me run through walls in football in college

The entertaining Simon-like advertisement alone is enough for a like

This is a wonderful video about these strange, unique places around the world.. Thank you for sharing

The nerve of Keeps asking a bald man to advertise a product that helps balding men get their hair back is nuts😂.

Thanks Simon 👍

Wish we had drones with year long power supplies and satellite links to explore these places remotely

Gotta love red tape: check out these fascinating places you aren't allowed to check out!

I would go explore places nobody has been it would be awesome especially the rocky place with caves and mountains

the pointy place in madagascar always makes me think of the animated movie

I’m always slightly shocked by the metal cactus statues next to the globe in the background😂

W ad. Didn’t expect that…..”it maybe too late for me but it’s not too late for you”💀

How many channels does this guy have? Hardest working host on RU-vid, so to say. Thanks for the content.

0:28 If you get enought rockets, attach them to your chair and maybe you will be the first man on the way to Alpha-Centaurus... 😂😂😂

Good grief. The comments have so many rabbit holes to go down! I’m going to be taking all day to watch this video.

14:50 fix that flag, former navy officer!

Tsingy De Bemaraha National park would be the perfect place to use the endless time and money we have spent on building jetpacks and reach inaccessible places without walking or climbing.

Respect to Bhutan for making this decision tbh. It's a shame more cultures weren't given the chance to do the same.

We may be born too late to explore the Earth and born too early to explore the Universe, but we are born at just the right time to see and contribute to a technological explosion of ever increasing faster releases of new tech, both general and medical, with the latter being especially exciting - especially for todays youth. Todays youth have the unique potential of, if we do our part to contribute to the development, living longer than ever before and even once dying, we may be transferred to another device until it becomes possible to move us to a new body. It sounds incredibly SciFi, but a lot of this technology will be achieved using AI to calculate all the possible combinations and find the solutions that are most likely to work. That alone shaves off decades of manual experiments, allowing tech to grow even faster. We may never get to explore the stars, but we get to experience and contribute to all the technology required to do so. Without us, the future explorers would be land locked on a dying Earth.

Your first quote there Simon, fealt that in my soul as I avidly say it all the time.

Never stop, Simon. Carry on just like this.

This was a good one! It kind of got me to noodlin' on the sea floor. Would it be such a bad thing to work toward an international agreement to leave a certain percentage unexplored and unmolested?

The least explored thing in life is your own mind. The Universe inside every living person.

Please do a video on the A4 Skyhawk. There's no good videos on here bout them, despite them being the most iconic jet of Vietnam.

"Its untouched by humanity!!! Unfortunately, smugglers travel through it, and fisherman and loggers practice their craft here" Then its not fucking untouched by humans, is it?
