If you're thirsty for an adventure to another world, then you might not need to gaze up - but rather, explore the untouched lost worlds of our own planet. Hidden away from humans, here are the top 10 most mystifying and amazing lost worlds.

Watch the video for a more informative and entertaining experience, though there is a list of the 10 below for your convenience: ➢ 10. Mount Mabu This is a mountain located in the northern part of Mozambique and is home to an old-growth rainforest. Since its discovery, the forest of Mount Mabu has been found to hold many creatures and plants that were previously unknown to the world. ➢9. Sima Humboldt This enormous sinkhole is located on a plateau at the summit of a flat-topped mountain. It is rare for expedition crews to descend into the sinkhole because a special permit from the government is required, which why not much is known about what lies at the bottom of the sinkhole. ➢8. Palawan Highlands Some consider this the Philippines last ecological frontier harbouring vast tracts of tropical rainforests and an expanse of marine wilderness. The province of Palawan, Locked away from the mainland, has many flora and fauna that is unlike anything found on the Philippines, and in fact a large number of these plants cannot be found anywhere else in the world. ➢7. Mount Bosavi Crater This crater belongs to an extinct volcano and is so inaccessible that even the locals rarely enter the area, let alone descend into the crater itself. The crater has, over the years, developed its own ecosystem of sorts and expeditions to the crater have reported a sudden change in both the atmosphere and environment upon descending into the crater. ➢6. Socotra Island If you ever feel like visiting a completely different planet then look no further. Located in Yemen, this island has been isolated from mainland Africa for the last 6 or 7 million years. Because of this long period of isolation, the island is home to about 700 extremely rare species, one third of which are endemic, meaning that they can only be found here. ➢5. Movile Cave Located in Romania, Movile Cave is notable for having a unique groundwater ecosystem. Very few have been granted access to this cave system, and those that have tell of an unbelievable experience. ➢4. Mount Roraima Lying atop of the Guiana Shield in the southeastern corner of Venezuela’s Canaima National Park,this mountain is awe inspiring due to its steep sides that make it stand out from the surrounding area and look like a giant block has been placed by God himself. ➢3. Challenger Deep This is the deepest known point in the Earths seabed located in the Pacific Ocean. Only 3 people have ever been here, and the extreme conditions of this environment means that some pretty fascinating creatures live down here. Who knows what we might find here in a few years. ➢2. Hang Sơn Đoòng Cave Located in Vietnam and currently the largest cave in the world by volume, Son Doong Cave is an amazing creation of nature. The sheer size of the cave has caused it to develop its own ecosystem with and inner forest and a large flowing river within it, which gives the impression of entering a whole new world. It's truly a treasure trove of geological discoveries and a Haven for adventure seekers. ➢1. Lake Vostok Located at the southern Pole of cold, and hidden beneath almost 4KM of ice, lies Lake Vostok , Antarctica’s largest subglacial lake. The lake water has been sealed off under the ice sheet 15 million years ago, and remained untouched until 2013, when scientists drilled into the ice sheet exposing the water hidden below. The lake has a very high chance of having preserved creatures we thought were long gone in the early years of the Earth. In years to come we might find a way to get down there and explore a world humans have never seen before.
