There are numerous places on Earth to explore and adore. However, there are many places to be found which are either too protected or too dangerous to visit even for some seasonal voyagers. As these places are apparently cut off from the world outside but Born Realist has managed to collect some of these amazing places for all it’s spectators. Though humans have explored all corners of the planet but there are few places which you can adore in pictures only. Let’s have a look at them!
15. Bohemian Grove, USA

The whole territory of the club belongs to a private owner and it has been functioning since 1899, welcoming most respected people around the world. Since 1923 many businessmen, artists, scientists, political figures and entrepreneurs became a part of this club and are still becoming a member of it. Though for almost 100 years the activities of the grove have been kept hidden and some perceived that the grove is the devil’s place and any journalist isn’t allowed to enter the grove. Well, my guess is something fishy might be something cooking in there! What do you think?
14. HAARP, USA

Covering an area of 13 hectares, this field was installed in Alaska in an uninhabited valley in 1997. Some believe it was a ground for conspiracy theorists who stated that this program could contribute to control human minds, switch off satellites, or could even cause earthquakes, droughts, hurricanes, floods and also an epidemic.
