Top 8 Most Beautiful But Hardest To Access Destinations In The World

People often say "the free world", but the truth is that it is not as free as you think, because there are still some inviolable places in the world. Let's find out which places they are through the article below!

1. Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

If you come to Ireland and don't visit the Cliffs of Moher, it's like you haven't been there. Formed more than 300 million years ago, the Cliffs of Moher, also known as the Dandelion Cliffs, are part of the Global Geopark and are a geological masterpiece on earth. Stretching 8km along the Atlantic coast, the Cliffs of Moher are a popular tourist attraction when visiting Ireland.

According to geologists, the formation of the Cliffs of Moher dates back more than 300 million years ago, during the Upper Carboniferous period. The Namurian sandstone, siltstone and shale are stacked on top of each other in an incredibly spectacular way. And only at the Cliffs of Moher can one admire a typical example of a sedimentary basin that only appears... under the sea!

The layers of rock at the Cliffs of Moher contain many important sediments and fossils. Therefore, in 2011, UNESCO recognized this place as a Global Geopark. Each layer of rock in the Cliffs of Moher "represents" a geological event that happened in history, as well as the "life" of ancient rivers when they flowed into the sea. In addition to soil sediments, people also found fossils of ancient marine and crustacean species.

The Cliffs of Moher is the most attractive tourist destination in Ireland, welcoming millions of visitors every year. However, due to the structure of limestone that is prone to collapse and the steep cliffs, this place poses a great danger to visitors. There have been 30 deaths confirmed here since 1990.

3. Krakatoa Volcano, Indonesia

Before the tsunami on the night of December 22, the terrible eruption of Krakatau volcano in 1883 shook the world, with a force more than 10,000 times that of the atomic bomb dropped by the US on Hiroshima, Japan. Anak Krakatau (Son of Krakatau) volcano, the culprit of the tsunami on the night of December 22 in Indonesia, was formed in 1928 on the crater of the larger volcano Krakatau. In 1883, Krakatau terrified the world with a terrible eruption, sending ash columns 27 km into the air, affecting weather around the world for many years after.

In the recent disaster in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, at least 429 people were killed and 1,300 injured. It was also in this area that on August 27, 1883, the volcanic island of Krakatau erupted in a terrible rage, claiming at least 37,000 lives.

Indonesia is one of the most geologically active regions on Earth, home to 127 active volcanoes. Much of the archipelago was formed by the shifting of three large continental plates, pushing islands up from the ocean floor.

The Krakatoa volcano, located in Indonesia's Sunda Strait, once erupted violently, killing 30,000 people, creating a giant ash cloud and devastating tsunamis. Today, Krakatoa is an adventure tourist destination, although it is still active. Scientists warn that when Krakatoa reaches full maturity, it will erupt with as much force as it did in the past.

8. Boiling Lake, Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Dominica

Dominica's Boiling Lake in Morne Trois Pitons National Park in the Caribbean island nation of Dominica is a large fumarole that has ruptured from the Earth's crust, according to Amusing Planet. The water is a grey-blue colour and is always boiling at around 90°C due to gases escaping from molten lava below. The lake is always covered by a layer of steam rising like a giant boiling pot. The lake has a diameter of 76 metres, making it the second largest boiling lake in the world after Frying Pan Lake in the Waimagu Valley, near Rototua, New Zealand.

The lake was first discovered in 1875 by two British men working in Dominica. Later that year, the local government sent a botanist and one of the two discoverers to study this natural phenomenon. They measured the water temperature and found that it was always between 82 and 92°C at all locations, but they could not accurately measure the temperature of the water in the middle of the lake because it was always boiling. The lake is estimated to be at least 60m deep.

The lake is always full because of the high annual rainfall and two small streams that flow into the area. The water seeps into the lava and is heated to boiling temperature. As a result, the lake's level fluctuates constantly. After a long hike through Dominica's wild rainforest, you will reach the island's most attractive feature, the Boiling Lake. Formed from a crack in the earth's crust, the water in the lake is always boiling and can spew out far away, causing danger to many visitors.
