Let’s be honest: we don’t actually want to go to these places. We want to know they exist. It makes our cozy couch feel legendary.
These spots remind us Earth is still wild. It hasn’t been tamed. There are still real mysteries and places humans haven’t conquered.
So next time you’re bored, google Lake Natron. Or tell a friend about the boiling river. You’ll sound like a fearless explorer. From your very safe sofa.
