Vous savez comment tout le monde a entendu parler de l'Everest et de la fosse des Mariannes, n'est-ce pas ? Mais il y a ces autres endroits qui sont, genre, d'un niveau de recul extrême. Commençons par Tristan da Cunha, par exemple - c'est au milieu de nulle part dans l'Atlantique Sud, bonne chance pour y aller sans un bateau sérieux. Ensuite, il y a le désert du Sahara, je veux dire, il est immense et vraiment rude, ce n'est clairement pas une promenade de santé. Et n'oublions pas la grotte de Veryovkina, cachée dans les montagnes du Caucase, c'est la grotte la plus profonde de la planète. Se rendre à ces endroits ? C'est comme jouer à une version extrême de cache-cache, sauf que les cachettes sont vraiment hardcore. Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00Here, the nights can last 24 hours, the streets have no name, and some say that there are more polar bears than inhabitants.
00:08Cats are also forbidden there, and if you manage to access it, we will expect you to take off your shoes when entering a restaurant or a museum.
00:17Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago located in the ice depths of the Arctic, is one of the closest inhabited places to the North Pole.
00:26The visit requires rigorous planning. You will need a visa, clothes adapted to extreme cold, and an experienced local guide to accompany you in this wild nature.
00:36Why cats are forbidden? Because they are considered an invasive species that can harm the fragile fauna,
00:43especially birds, which do not know how to defend themselves against these moustached predators.
00:48The streets have no name, only numbers.
00:51A tradition dating back to the time when the region was populated by miners who wanted to simplify the location.
00:57You will find slippers available in the establishments that invite you to take off your shoes.
01:03This practice is inherited from an old custom that pushed the inhabitants to remove their dirty shoes so as not to soil the interior of the buildings.
01:12These islands also house the impenetrable World Seed Reserve.
01:17This installation must be maintained in impeccable conditions,
01:21because it contains about a million samples of plant seeds in the event of a planetary disaster requiring the reconstruction of our natural environment.
01:31This chest was designed deep inside a mountain and is located more than 120 meters above sea level.
01:38It is also capable of resisting powerful earthquakes.
01:42Visitors are not allowed to enter, but some guided tours allow you to approach its doors.
01:48Once on this island of the South Pacific, you can claim a piece of land and start building the house of your dreams.
01:55This is Pitcairn Island, and during the last census, it had less than 50 permanent residents.
02:02The climate is tropical all year round and the landscape is breathtaking.
02:06But going there is a real epic.
02:09Let's say you leave from Los Angeles.
02:12You will first have to take a flight to Tahiti.
02:15Then catch another flight to the island of Mangareva, which leaves only once a week.
02:21You will thus arrive at the airport closest to Pitcairn, located 530 km from the island.
02:28The rest of the adventure will have to be done by boat, which will take you more than 30 hours.
02:35This is only possible if you are lucky enough to leave,
02:38given that the boat only travels to the island with supplies once every three months.
02:43There is not much distraction on these long trips.
02:47Only four families live on the island, which includes a single cafe and an art gallery.
02:53However, you could book a stay in an old prison.
02:56The locals realized that they did not need a prison until 2004,
03:00but it quickly became useless and now serves as a hotel.
03:05Under the Bank of England is a mysterious safe full of gold,
03:09a fortress known to be impenetrable.
03:12And for good reason, it is said to house about 400,000 gold ingots,
03:16an estimated value of about 250 billion dollars.
03:20This place is protected by multiple security measures.
03:23Sophisticated technological surveillance, heavy doors weighing more than 3 tons,
03:28guards on alert 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
03:33The few people allowed to enter use systems such as voice recognition to unlock the doors.
03:39According to official history dating back to the 19th century,
03:43the bank had defenses so effective that they were considered impossible to rob.
03:48However, there was a rumor that the bank's managers had begun to receive anonymous letters
03:55claiming that someone had managed to break through these walls.
03:58They ignored these warnings until they found themselves face to face with the culprit,
04:03an ingenious sewer.
04:05The latter had emerged from the ground of the safe,
04:07claiming to have discovered an old conduit during repair.
04:11The honest sewer had not stolen any gold ingots.
04:13And, to his great surprise, he was not punished for entering by fraction.
04:18Legend has it that he would have been rewarded by the equivalent of about 100,000 dollars
04:22to have revealed this flaw in security.
04:25This faced building, known as the Tridarangar lighthouse, is located in cold Iceland.
04:34Perched on the top of the three rocks of a small archipelago,
04:38this lighthouse is constantly hit by waves,
04:41which makes its access by boat impossible.
04:44Today, the only way to get there is by helicopter.
04:48Although it is not open to tourists,
04:50many helicopter excursions nearby allow you to explore its surroundings.
04:56The construction of this robust structure in 1939 was a real challenge.
05:01Workers had to manually lay the foundations
05:03and climb the surrounding cliffs to reach the top.
05:06The difficult weather conditions, with icy rains and violent winds,
05:11made the task even more arduous.
05:13The sliding rocks also represented a constant danger,
05:17a false maneuver,
05:18and the builders found themselves in the glacial waters of the North Atlantic.
05:22The team also had to prove their skills in mountaineering.
05:26To finish the lighthouse, they had to improvise a human pyramid,
05:31a person on his knees, another above, and a third at the top.
05:37The Nemo Point, or Point without Man,
05:41is the farthest place in the ocean from any mainland,
05:45at more than 2,500 km.
05:48It is also a sadly poor area in marine life.
05:52This region of the South Pacific Ocean is huge,
05:55about 34 times the size of France.
05:58But marine life cannot thrive there because of the lazy ocean currents.
06:02These do not provide enough nutrients to allow the survival of the largest marine creatures.
06:08Scientists could only observe a few bacteria and small crabs
06:12in these volcanic chimneys at the bottom of the sea.
06:15The Nemo Point was discovered for the first time in 1992,
06:19but it has been little explored since.
06:21Navigators are not even the closest people to the Nemo Point.
06:25It is the astronauts who fly over it in the International Space Station.
06:30Because of its isolation, space agencies have often used it for their missions.
06:35When spacecraft arrive at the end of their lives,
06:38this is where they are put to rest,
06:40because the precipitation in the Pacific allows them to avoid any terrestrial damage.
06:45Over the years, the Nemo Point has become a cemetery for more than 250 spacecraft.
06:50In 1997, the Nemo Point became famous for an unusual sound
06:55captured by marine scientists, nicknamed the Bloop.
06:59Although some initially thought it was the cry of an unknown ocean creature
07:04potentially monstrous,
07:06it was quickly determined that this sound came from a natural phenomenon,
07:10an underwater ice quake.
07:13Is it possible to cross the Nemo Point?
07:15Not really.
07:17The exact location of this point was calculated using specialized software
07:21to meet the challenge of the longest swimming distance.
07:25The goal was to determine the point in the ocean where,
07:29in case of a fall from the bridge of a ship,
07:32it would be the furthest from any land in all directions.
07:37It is unlikely that anyone has ever crossed these precise coordinates,
07:42no commercial or tourist ship passing through there.
07:46The Rannis Abyss, located in the Czech Republic,
07:49is the deepest underground cavity in the world,
07:53with a depth of more than 520 meters.
07:56Scientists have not yet determined how far it extends into the ground.
08:00Unlike most gulfs that form by descending from the earth's surface,
08:05this one formed by going up
08:08because of the warm mineral water rich in carbon dioxide.
08:12This gaseous mixture, coming from the depths of the earth,
08:16slowly eroded the limestone.
08:18Then, at some point in its history, the ceiling collapsed,
08:22thus revealing this vast cavity in the world.
08:25In addition to its depth, what makes exploration difficult
08:28is the liquid itself.
08:30It can be problematic due to its high concentration of carbon dioxide,
08:34enough to irritate the exposed parts of a diver.
08:38The composition of this water also influences the type of equipment that can be used.
08:43Choosing to dive in an open circuit causes a chemical reaction
08:46when the exhaled bubbles come into contact with the water,
08:49causing a decrease in visibility in a place where there is already little light.
