On our planet, it is hardly possible to find at least a span of unknown land. We climb the highest mountains of the world, and the depths of the oceans are no longer lurking for us in the dark. The peoples that inhabit the most remote islands have long been open, and even most of the most ancient languages are already deciphered and the texts written on them are read. The world is inexorably compressed – in many respects, the merit in this belongs to high -speed vehicles, which allow you to get to distant continents in a matter of hours.
If Fileas Fogg, the hero of the novel by Jules Verne “around the world in 80 days”, went on a trip in our time, he would have circled the globe in just two weeks – “today in Hong Kong, tomorrow in Hawaii, and then, and after,” at the same time to get acquainted with some amazing creations of nature and the secrets of the planet Earth, which did not have a truly number, and also not forgetting to admire Monuments created by artists and sculptors of other cultures, and magnificent architectural creations.
