Mezhgorye is located in the Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia. The place has imposed a ban on the visitors entering its borders. There is nothing to talk about traveling to this place, even the Russian citizens who belong to other different parts of the country are not allowed to enter these borders, in general. 

From sources, it has been heard that the work on a highly classified project around Mount Yamantau is in progress in the town - but there’s no clear idea on this. There are stories & anecdotes from the past that suggest that - the place encapsulates plenty of secrets from Russia including a nuclear program, a huge warehouse of coal, a bunker, and some kind of treasure.

4. Surtsey

Located beautifully in the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago off the southern coast of Iceland, Surtsey looks too beautiful in pictures and from a far off place.

To date, only a handful of scientists and professional explorers have got the opportunity to visit this place. Indeed, there are speculations about the place that - it is a place used as a living laboratory. A bunch of scientists studies, here, about the course of ecological succession. To put this in a layman language, we would say that it is the center for a scientific study of “how animals and plant interactions” take place without any intervention of humans.
