Depending on how you define exploration, there's still an enormous amount of things and places left to explore on Earth, and not just inside its absolute most unreachable areas such as the deep ocean. Even today, humanity, though widely spread around the globe, concretely occupies only a tiny fraction of the plant's surface, leaving enormous hollows with all kinds of curious secrets. This is the very reason why even now we constantly have news of newly discovered species, newly discovered geographical features and new discoveries of ancient ruins even. Hell there are even major unclimbed mountains left in the world, now, in 2023. Should even these be too much to ask for, simply finding places to travel to and looking into their more obscure corners, especially if you accompany this with some sort of hobby, like photography, or collecting or cataloging certain things, could leave you busy with adventure for decades. No, nobody is going to discover any new continents or be the first ever to set foot in some large new region of the world, but reframing your expectations can work wonders for realizing just how much of the world is far from completely categorized, sorted, filmed and fully pigeonholed. It's absurd to think that only the void of space and the worlds within it are what's left for the deeply curious and adventurous. |
