With modern technology, with just a computer connected to the Internet or a smartphone, you can “travel” anywhere in the world through the image modes of Google Maps. But this application also contains many secrets, there will be areas that you cannot see.
Gruinard Island, Scotland
This small oval-shaped island is located in Scotland, it is only a few kilometers long and more than 1km wide. If you look for information and images about this island, you will be disappointed because there is very little information around it.
This island is located in Gruinard Bay, this island was abandoned for decades after British scientists tested the anthrax bacteria here in 1942, while World War II was going on.
They tested this deadly chemical weapon on 60 sheep and they all died within just a few days. Today, many people believe that creatures on this island are still infected with disease spores and this location remains a mystery.
Roswell town – New Mexico state, USA
Roswell is one of the famous places with stories related to UFOs and aliens. This location became famous in July 1947 when the US military unit stationed in Roswell announced the discovery of “the remains of a flying saucer”.
However, the military soon corrected that these fragments were not from “flying saucers” but from weather balloons. Since that incident, people have been talking about UFOs, about extremely durable and almost “weightless” pieces of light metal. In addition, there are rumors about the military finding aliens.
After a while, in 1978, physicist Stanton Friedman interviewed Major Jesse Marcel (who participated in cleaning up debris in Roswell), and he revealed a hidden UFO incident.
Garden of Gethsemane – Jerusalem, Israel
The Garden of Gethsemane, also known as the Garden of Olives and the Garden of Heat, is a garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The place where Jesus and his apostles prayed the night before he was arrested and crucified. The Garden of Gethsemane became a center for sacred Christian pilgrims.
The Garden of Gethsemane is also said to be where the Virgin Mary was buried and taken to heaven after dying on Mount Zion. Although millions of pilgrims still flock here every year, Google still blurs out some details in this area.
The Garden of Gethsemane is surrounded by hundreds of years old olive trees, located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Israel. Besides, there is also much controversy about the exact location of the temple.
Narssarssuk – Arctic Circle, Greenland
The 1968 accident at the US Thule Air Force Base was one of the most shocking incidents in history. If you type the word Narssarssuk into Google, you will not see a map image of this area appear.
Currently, it is difficult to see this location using satellite images. Nearby images are blurred and even if you zoom in all the way, you can’t see anything.
On January 21, 1968, a B-52G plane carrying four atomic bombs crashed into the sea ice, just outside Thule Base and caught fire. Over 700 Danes, Greenlanders and US military personnel had to work in conditions lacking protective equipment to clean up nuclear waste.
Mururoa and Fangataufa Atolls
This atoll belongs to the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean. On the outside the island looks like an ideal place for a vacation, but in fact these two islands are some of the most dangerous places on Earth.
There were 193 horrifying nuclear tests that took place here from 1966 to 1996, including 137 underground tests. Over the years, many studies have been conducted to determine the damage to these two islands and many organizations have also urged France to take measures to address the environmental damage that still exists today. .
