To be more precise, the Sahara is a region that includes parts of Algeria, Chad, Egypt, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Western Sahara, Sudan, and Tunisia. It occupies 25% of Africa’s landmass due to its size. Less than three inches of rainfall on average every year in the Sahara. Even in the wettest regions of the Sahara, it may only rain once or twice a week before ceasing for years.
6. Galapagos Islands
Sited approximately 600 miles from the Ecuadorian shoreline, the Galapagos Islands have been a well-protected natural wonder for millions of years. If you want a glimpse of what prehistoric animals may have looked like, head to the Galapagos Islands. The animals are like no other place on earth. Giant tortoises on Isabela, marine iguanas on Fernandina, blue-footed boobies nesting on North Seymour, and 17 different land, marine, and avian species not found anywhere else in the world are the primary reasons for the Galapagos Islands’ fame.

The Antarctic is recognized as the harshest and most inhospitable continent on the planet, characterized by extreme cold, dry conditions, and strong winds. It has the highest average elevation of all the continents. Antarctica is commonly referred to as the largest desert in the world, with only 2% of the continent not covered in ice. Unlike the Arctic, the high elevation of much of Antarctica contributes to its freezing temperatures, making it colder than its northern counterpart. Also, the Arctic Ocean covers the north polar zone, transferring the ocean’s relative warmth through the ice pack. Sea life in Antarctica includes penguins, blue whales, orcas, and seals. The ideal period to embark on a trip to Antarctica is late spring to early fall, as the sea ice conditions permit ships to navigate the stunning glacial landscapes.

However, the sheer size and the intricately designed, vibrant surroundings offer visitors stunning views that cannot be found anywhere else on this earth.
2. Amazon Rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is called the “lung of the planet,” absorbing about 25% of atmospheric carbon dioxide and producing 6% of total oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere through photosynthesis. At approximately 2,300,000 square miles in size, the Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest and most biodiverse forest. It has 390 billion trees and spreads across Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Venezuela, and the Republic of Suriname.
