However, the climate is changing to the point where these hotspots for tour and travel may soon be gone. The pace at which they are disappearing is just alarming. From exotic islands to glaciers in the poles, some years down the line we won’t have the pleasure to enjoy the magic and beauty that these miracles of nature offer.
So, what are some of the best places to visit before they disappear?
Well, here is a simple list:
Seychelles
The Seychelles is a very popular island in the Indian Ocean. With breathtakingly white exotic beaches decorated by shades of palm trees, it’s a sight to behold. However, due to the rising sea levels, the island has been sinking a few inches every year and there may come a time when it will be fully submerged. You don’t want to wait for long before making your way there.
Mount Kilimanjaro
There is nothing as adventurous as scaling the highest mountain in Africa. The hike will get you close to the nature in its raw form and to cap it all, the ice caps that majestically stand at the peak of the mountain will blow you away. But the increased risk of these icecaps melting and disappearing due to global warming threatens the survival of this amazing tourist destination.
The Sundarbans, India and Bangladesh
The Sundarbans have nearly 4,000 miles of water and they are surrounded by an extensive ecosystem of mangrove forest running down the Ganges Delta. This habitat is home to many species including endangered tigers. But the Sundarbans have been disappearing and the number of species in it is declining fast. If you don’t visit them now, you may as well not have a chance a few years down the line.
Patagonia's Glaciers In Argentina
The Patagonia's glaciers in Argentina is a must see site and it’s one of the iconic places to visit for people who want to see “true ice.” It’s a site that you can’t see anywhere in the world but soon enough, the Patagonia's glaciers in Argentina might be a thing of the past. With the increasing global warming, glaciers are melting and if that doesn’t stop, you never know how big of an impact it will have. So, make your way there and savor this marvel before it’s gone. Take pictures.
Zahara De La Sierra, Spain
If you ever wanted to take a ride back to the ancient times, this quiet town in Spain will be the ideal getaway. It stands tall among mountains in Andalusia but of late, due to changing global temperatures and years of subdued rainfall, the town has been losing its wildlife and greenery.
Venice, Italy
Venice is one of the most popular cities in the world and what makes it so attractive is the fact that it’s literally built on water. But for years now, the city has been sinking due to rising sea levels and the city’s lifespan may be shrinking rapidly.
