The Icelandic Volcanoes

You must have seen how great volcanoes look, with the brilliant snapshots we’ve seen of them. But do you know how scary it can be if you’re standing in an active volcanic region?

It’s downright terrifying for people that have been there and experienced that. As the line between life and death can be rather thin.

But the next best thing to that is a dormant volcano, which isn’t going to blow up anytime soon.

That’s what you’ll get to see when you visit the different volcanic spots in the island nation of Iceland.

Thrihnukagigur is the name that comes to mind when talking about the various volcanic spots in Iceland. This has been inactive since the past 4 millennia and doesn’t show any sign of activity. So, it’s safe from that regard.

If you’re looking for a great adventurous time, then I would highly suggest this place to you. It’ll give you exactly what you want.

Definitely, a place you should visit at least once throughout the span of your life.

Havanna, Cuba

Cuba is one of the few places in the world that can give you the true taste of classic. And that is not just beautiful, but rather nostalgic as well.

Firstly, once you visit the capital city of Havana. You and your friends will get to roam around in a classic Cadillac. Yes, they have it there but won’t get to drive it yourself.

By the way, Cubans love their muscle cars which they spend a lot of resources to maintain.

Although you might have some issues getting a travel permit if you’re from America. But once you get around it, Havana isn’t going to disappoint you.

The Great Milford Track Hike, New Zealand

New Zealand is a really picturesque country. And it is quite popular for its low population.

Still, the experience of hiking on this track as a whole is a must. If you like nature and want to be amidst that for some time.

The Plateaus in Ladakh, India

Ladakh in the Indian subcontinent are flatlands with the highest elevation in the world. That has gotten them the name of the ‘Roof of the world’.

A mesmerizing place from whichever angle you might look at it from. It’s another ‘must visit’ place for all adventure buffs with some of the harshest climates one could come across. A cold desert at a high elevation pointing to the Central Asian highlands.

But the landscape isn’t the only thing that makes Ladakh a true wonder.

The wildlife here is special. And the special among the special are the snow leopards. High up in the cold mountains and plateaus lives this exotic carnivore. They are not only beautiful but even more dangerous.

Still, that’s not going to be much of a threat to your group’s safety as this animal is rather elusive.

For the more peaceful and spiritual, there are great Buddhist monasteries in Ladakh. You can visit them to feed your spiritual thirst.

You might be hard-pressed to find paw prints of such snow leopards in that terrain. But, if you do find one, or even better come across this animal. You have my guarantee that you’ll forget to take a snap of it in sheer amazement.

Among the few remaining indigenous tribes around the world. Meeting the tribal people here can give you a humbling perspective.

To have a look back into the more primal side of things, when things were a lot tougher for us humans. Would have you appreciate all the things you possess, much more than you’re doing now.

As an example, the Huaorani people here live their everyday lives hunting and gathering most of their food. A big threat for these people and others like them, among the many, that is there. Happens to be the piranha-infested waters, which I believe you know the dangers of.

So, for adventure with your friends in deep and swampy jungles. This is definitely the place to visit.

From Moscow in the west to Vladivostok in the east. These network of railroads pass through the vast Russian territory through Central Asia. And while you’re on it, you’ll get to see how big and sprawling an area might be.
