There are some places on earth that the average human will never have the opportunity to see or experience. Some places are restricted to the wealthy, while others are for the less fortunate. These are the most hidden places on the planet that most of us won't have the opportunity to visit. Continue reading to learn more about these hidden places and where to visit them.
Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station
Menwith Hill Royal Air Force Station houses US drone operations. These missions are mostly secretive and are used worldwide to target terrorists. They are also used to monitor phone calls, emails, and Google searches. Since 1954, the base has been operational and successive British governments have apparently cooperated with its operation. MPs have been denied access to it repeatedly.
Menwith Hill has been involved with several "capture/kill" operations. Snowden's documents do not provide details about the fatal incidents but it is clear that hundreds of civilians have been killed at the base in the past decade. Its mission was also a crucial part of drone strikes in Yemen.
North Sentinel Island
Since 1997, North Sentinel is off limits to outsiders. Because of the risk of spreading diseases from other countries, contact with the island was banned by the Indian government. And the people on the island are not very welcoming to visitors. They have lived in solitude for more than 50,000 year. The Sentinelese would prefer that their island remain as is.
Although the estimated population is somewhere between eighty-150 and 150, it could actually be much higher. They speak a dialect of their own and live in huts with slanted roofs. They also build their own narrow outrigger canoes and carry bows and arrows. They also hunt for food and harvest crabs and fish.
Baikal
Lake Baikal is located in Siberia and is the deepest in the world. It is also one of the oldest. And it's home to more than 1,700 species of plants and animals. The Lake is home to almost 33% these species. Researchers from all over the world are joining their Soviet counterparts to conduct an ambitious research project.
The water in Lake Baikal has a remarkable cleanliness, even though it is polluted. The tiny creatures called Epischura that live close to the shore ingest the contaminants and move them up the food chains. They can then be absorbed into the bodies of larger fish. Lake Baikal's endemic fish include omul, nerpa and golumyanka.
Mount Weather complex
For decades, the Mount Weather complex has remained a top secret location in Washington, DC. There are many facilities at the complex, including an emergency medical center, a crematorium and a radio and TV studio. It can host up to 2000 people during an emergency. It is unlikely that anyone will ever need the entire complex. In the wake of an extensive electric power outage in Washington, D.C., this facility was temporarily activated on April 7, 2015.
One of the most mysterious locations in the world is the Mount Weather complex. Hidden underground, the location can only be accessed with a specific code. Once a code is broken, it's possible access it. Once inside the complex, a shield protects it and provides a surveillance system. There are many secret passages that lead to the complex, as well as several underground rooms which have various systems. Two underground buildings are found in the centre of the complex. These buildings house the main facilities of the complex.
Haiku Stairs
Haiku Stairs are a steep climb not recommended for the faint-hearted. The Haiku Stairs are located in the Pacific Ocean. There is also a radio station in the area that broadcasts to Navy ships around the Pacific Ocean. These stairs can only be climbed by those who are physically fit.
The danger of trespassing has made the stairs off-limits to the public since 1987. It's illegal to climb these stairs during daylight hours and can result in a $1000 fine. Guards patrol the area, and police helicopters can often be seen hovering over the stairs.
FAQ
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. You're correct, there are more than 50 parts in our bodies. But, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood travels through the veins and arteries, transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This is equivalent to an adult consuming 2-3 cups of coffee per day.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood away from the large blood vessels in the skin back to the heart. When blood flow is blocked, the skin turns blue or purple.
Red blood cells are not available to sickle cell patients. Their blood becomes very sticky and hardened, leading to serious illness.
You can use a bandage to stop bleeding if your cut is severe. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
How does the brain control the functions in your body?
The brain sends messages to other organs and muscles to ensure they work together. Everything in your body is controlled and managed by your brain. It tells you your stomach to digest food; your lungs to inhale air; and it tells you your arms and legs how to move.
Your brain is made up of billions upon billions of nerve cells that are connected together in groups called neuronal groups. Neurons communicate with each other by sending electrical signals called action potentials on axons. Each neuron has its own cell membrane around its nucleus. The cell membrane houses channels that allow ions, such as potassium and sodium, to enter and exit the cells. The neuron is lit by an electric charge created by the movement of ions.
Neurotransmitters are chemicals released when a neuron fires. Neurotransmitters are able to bind to receptors in the second neuron. This opens ion channels that allow ions to flow in and out. The second neuron also fires.
Neurotransmitter release occurs when the presynaptic neuron receives an impulse from another neuron. The impulse travels along the synaptic pathway that connects both neurons. The transmitter binds at the receptors of the post-synaptic Neuron and triggers its firing.
Communication within the nervous system is possible thanks to neurotransmitters. They coordinate brain activity among different parts.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
Actors are more likely to be rejected than writers. As an actor, it's likely that you will be rejected a lot. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors can often make a living from acting because they are very talented. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love to act and tell stories. You'll be an actor if you love acting.
You might even go to auditions where you're told that you're too old, too young, or not right for the role. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all too often.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. Some people will say that you look awful or shouldn't wear makeup. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. You could be a gay actor and everyone assumes you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
You might be asked to change the sound of your voice. Sometimes, they will ask you to sound more like a woman or a man. They will usually ask you to sound better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They just weren't born with the talent that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others think that actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
No matter what the reason, you won't be blacklisted if your persistence persists. There are many jobs out there and you'll be able to find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
Have you ever wondered what amount of trash is generated each day worldwide?
According to the United Nations, the average person produces over 2.5 pounds of daily waste.That adds up to over 25 billion pounds of garbage per year!
The majority of this garbage ends up in incinerators or landfills. But what happens when the dumpsters become full? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. The rest is dumped abroad, where it pollutes other ecosystems. Now, we know the exact location of all this garbage. Mike Sexton is his name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. He then reports back about what happens next.
Sexton says he finds his job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "We'll be following these big rigs through town. "Sexton began to follow truck drivers around 20 years ago.
"I just fell in love with it," he said.
Sexton loved the story about the driver who pulled over at an abandoned gas station close to Los Angeles. Sexton described, "The guy was looking somewhere to put his load." "He drove down the street and saw this building. He pulled over and went in. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were old tires and rags, furniture pieces, mattresses, mattresses and boxes. "It was just total chaos. But it had been cleaned out before he came along. There was no trash."
This is the reason why it happened. It is because the location used to belong to a recycling centre. People who found out about this facility would drive to it to recycle their trash. "They'd bring their household items and take them to this building," Sexton explained.And after they finished, they would leave the empty containers behind.
This can happen hundreds of times a week. It can happen hundreds of time per week. Eventually, the truck is so full of junk it stops running. The truck eventually stops running and the owner decides that it is time to get rid of the vehicle.
Trash is not the only problem our planet faces.
Plastic pieces make up most of these particles. Others get washed into rivers or oceans.And when they reach the ocean, they often end up in the stomachs of fish.
Experts say if nothing changes, we could soon face a global food shortage. Experts warn, "If you keep going like you're going," we could soon face a global food shortage. But most people don't seem to be worried, even though scientists are unanimous in warning us that the world is heading towards disaster.

Hollywood scandals that shocked the world
There is nothing more shocking than witnessing someone get famous for the wrong reasons. But, it's equally shocking to watch them fall from the graces.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We've all heard about celebrities who took too much alcohol and drugs. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger, after a long and successful professional career, finally gave in to his demons. He took too many prescription pills and died shortly after.
His family and his friends struggled with the news and the media went after him.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. He was nominated for two Academy Awards for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath. But he was too big for his boots. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
Now that he was sober, it was time to make amends. So he made a documentary called "Room 237," which chronicled the making of The Shining. It was originally scheduled to release this year, but it won’t be available in theaters until next.
Heath tried many times to get back into Hollywood. Nothing worked. In fact, he was arrested twice on drug charges.
We don't believe Heath should have been allowed to go back into the entertainment industry. It would have been nice for him to have received some assistance before things spiraled outof control.
We hope Heath’s story serves as a cautionary tale for others who think they might still be able to have it all.
