There are a few places on Earth that may not be around in the next 100 years. It is sad, but true. Some of these places will be lost due to climate change, pollution, changes in the natural environment and changes in man made infrastructure. Science shows that these places will actually disappear for ever.
Below a list of places you have to visit in your Lifetime before they disappear forever.
The salty lake lies between Israel and Jordan and is 400 meters below sea level. The tourist love to swim over the mineral-rich water. The tourist believes that water is beneficial for their health.
The water is draining up to 1 meter every year. Therefore, the time is near when the Dead Sea will be gone forever.
Plan a trip to The Dead Sea and enjoy the swim before it disappears forever.
The Great Barrier Reef aligns the coast of Belize. It is very popular for snorkeling and diving and has a wide variety of sea life to experience. However, due to coral bleaching, a lot of coral life is dying. Some parts of the coral reef are finding hard to recover due to pollution and from hurricanes and natural disasters in the past.
In addition the rising temperature of the sea is wiping the world largest reef system. Which is killing the coral reef at an alarming rate.
There is no end time on when the Belize Barrier Reef will still be around (as ecosystems can still repair themselves), but try to plan a trip before it disappears.
