How are there still islands that we haven’t discovered/explore despite the fact that the satellites in space have been taking constant photos of the earth?
In: Planetary Science
The list of such places are very small and usually consists of exceptional places. There are for example islands which were “discovered” in the 1800s by sailing ships but which we have since not found. Some islands are formed by volcanic activity and is quickly eroded away so you need to be there at the right time to visit them. Some islands are just so inhospitable that it is physically difficult to visit them. You need good weather and a helicopter and even then have to avoid parts of the island because it is too dangerous. And anything you leave will be destroyed by the waves in the next storm. Then there are islands and other places where we have pissed off the natives for generations and they do not want us there any longer, so we stay away.
