I personally have many places to visit on my bucket list!
But what if I tiold you that some of these places may not be around when you
finally have the time and money to venture far and wide. According to
factmonster.com there are some places in the world that are quickly disappearing.
Glaciers and Glacier National Parks
If you dream of witnessing the natural beauty of Glacier
national parks in the USA or Canada, you may need to hurry up because they are
swiftly disappearing. This is caused by the overall increase in temperature.
Whether or not you believe it’s Global Warming, the fact is that in 1850, there
were 150 glaciers. Now we have only 26. So buy those tickets and book vacation
time because by 2030 they may not be there.
Venice Italy
Oh Venice! The city of love! Well we may soon be calling it
the underwater city. Due to repeated floods, the city is estimated to be sinking
at a rate of 2.5 inches every ten years. So I hope your marriage proposals are
in order for the near future because it looks like Venice may be going under.
The Dead Sea
I’m sure you’ve heard of this one! The dead sea is one of
the saltiest bodies of water in the world.The salt content is so high that you
can float in it with very little effort. But due to evaporation and the
increased need for its water sources by the native population, the Dead Sea is losing
about three feet of water each year.
