일생에 꼭 가봐야 될 곳 50 - Wild Places

50 Places of a Lifetime - Wild Places

 

남극(Antarctica)

 

 

If you’re exploring the planet, Antarctica is the last stop on the train....—Barry Lopez

 

 

아마존 밀림(Amazon)

 

 

The Amazon is the world’s greatest wilderness, greatest forest, and largest repository of biodiversity. When I walk into the forest I feel at home, enveloped by nature. It is wilderness for the sophisticate, where the wonders are tiny and intricate, and where nature paints with more shades of green than one would think possible.—Thomas Lovejoy, biodiversity advisor for the World Bank

 

 

캐나다 록키산맥(Canadian Rockies)

 

 

 

If you rent a car in Banff, make sure you get one with an extra large windshield, because as you drive the park roads, the view of the Canadian Rockies is so grand and all-encompassing, you’ll get a stiff neck trying to take it all in!—photographer Raymond Gehman

 

 

갈라파고스 제도(Galápagos) / 에콰도르

 

 

... An isolated, ecologically rich preserve, protected from human distortion and therefore revealing nature in her pristine propriaty.—Stephen Jay Gould

 

 

그랜드 캐년(Grand Canyon) / USA

 

The most exquisite place I’ve ever been is the Havasupai Indian Reservation in the heart of the Grand Canyon. Hike or raft there, stay in a cottage or pitch a tent, swim through the five waterfalls, and watch horses sip the water with their foals.—Darryl Hannah, actress

 

 

호주의 미개척지(Australian Outback)

 

 

Anybody who was born to this landscape always has a hunger for it, and tends to feel a bit crowded anywhere else. The outback is where you’re alone with the wind, earth, and sky.—Jill Ker Conway, historian

 

 

파퓨아뉴기니의 산호초(Papua New Guinea Reefs)

 

 

My most emotional dive took place about ten years ago in Papua New Guinea. After a lifetime of diving with my father, Jacques, and learning about the underwater realms he knew so well...I had the chance to show him a place he had never seen and to share my pleasure in the diversity of corals and fish that live there.—Jean-Michel Cousteau

 

 

사하라 사막(Sahara)

 

 

The Sahara’s most beautiful portion is the Ténéré desert of Niger, an endless-seeming field of dunes the size of Germany. Here courtly Tuareg tribesmen size you up like the rakish pirates of this sand sea they are.—Donovan Webster, writer and Sahara veteran

 

 

아프리카 세렝게티 평원(Serengeti)

 

Few places that I know have the same impact; for me, this area within its vastness represents the most special destination. I reach for words: spectacular, thrilling, awesome, beautiful, extraordinary.—Richard Leakey

 

 

베네수엘라 테푸이스 고원(Venezuela’s Tepuis)

 

 

A hell of a place to land a plane.—Jimmy Angel, the American aviator who accidentally discovered Angel Falls in Venezuela’s tepui country
