Places to Visit Before They Disappear
1. The Dead Sea
Dead Sea is one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water.The Dead Sea’s unusually high salt concentration means that people can easily float in the Dead Sea due to natural buoyancy.In the last 40 years, the dead sea has shrunk by a third and sunk 80 feet. Experts believe it could disappear in as little as 50 years.
2. Maldives
Maldives is the lowest-lying country on Earth –with an average elevation of around five feet above sea level which also means this beautiful island nation could be completely engulfed by water within the next 100 years if sea levels continue to rise.
3..Great Barrier Reef (Australia)
The largest coral reef in the world, which covers more than 133,000 sq miles (344,400 sq km). Due to the rising ocean temperatures and the influx of pollution, this natural wonder could be destroyed within the next 100 years.
4. Glacier National Park, Montana
Montana’s majestic national park once had more than 150 glacier, but now has fewer than 25. Rapid climate change could see that number shrink to zero by 2030, which would not only leave the park without a glacier, but also severely disrupt its ecosystem.
5. Seychelles
The beach erosion is causing the epitome of a tropical paradise, the Seychelles in danger. Seychelle is a collection of around 115 islands in the Indian Ocean. Some experts believe that in 50 to 100 years, the entire archipelago could be submerged.
