Cold Locations

As there has been no snow falling or ice emerging in this entire month, which is the first time in definitely over a century and is no doubt a consequence of global warming the planet, I wanted to talk briefly about cold locations I would love to visit in the future.

After discovering Iceland 2 years ago, I am craving for more locations and countries like it, and here is what I have come up with so far:

Nepal

Depicted is the way to Mount Everest Base Camp, or the south path towards it. The north path is available through Tibet, which I also would like to visit. Nepal's capital Kathmandu was unfortunately hit by a terrible earthquake recently, and I hope to explore it in due time.

 Antarctica

Home to no nations, militaries or mining towns, Antarctica is strictly used as a large region for scientists to conduct experiments, while the ecozone is getting protected. It's also a spectacular cold desert and surrounding the continent it has ridiculous large amounts of ice blocks floating around.

 Greenland

Officially part of the Kingdom of Denmark, but technically has been independent for some time now, Greenland  is the largest island to be found, and most of it's central regions are unable for humans to settle in. One of the coldest locations and also has Norsemen and Inuit history, Greenland could be very fascinating for me.
 Siberia

Siberia is massive in size but it's also one of the sparsely populated area's in the world. Out of these 4, Siberia interests me the most for these facts alone, as there is no doubt lots of beautiful landscapes to be found, Lake Baikal is a highlight and it would be amazing to travel through this if only for a small part of it.

And with these paragraphs said on this second day of Christmas, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a happy upcoming New Year!
