The post 3 of the Flattest Places in the World appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Salar de Uyuni
The largest salt flat in the world is located in Bolivia and it’s really big, approximately the size of Jamaica! The thick salt covers it completely so the horizon looks mesmerizing. Below all that salt is the world’s largest lithium reserve, which is the stuff your phone and laptop batteries are made of.
Danakil Desert
The locals call it the “Gateway to Hell” and it’s not difficult to guess why. The temperatures in the Ethiopian Danakil Desert often go over 50°C (122°F), which makes it the hottest place on Earth, in addition to being one of the flattest. As if that’s not enough, the place is known for hostile tribes, earthquakes, volcanoes, and geysers.
(@travelingtheworldwithromaine)The Maldives
The flattest country on Earth, the Maldives, is a paradise in many people’s opinion. The island chain (consisting of 1,192 coral islands!) only rises up to 1.5m above sea level, but the bad news is that the rising sea level is a threat to its existence.

]]>Venice
Venice is the infamous example of this, as it’s known that the city is slowly sinking. You should see St. Mark’s Basilica and feel the city’s unique atmosphere while you still have the chance.
The Maldives
It’s said that the Maldives is also slowly sinking, and given that 80% of the country sits on 3.3 feet or less above sea level, we can easily figure that the paradise-on-Earth is endangered.
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall is known as the largest structure made by men, but it’s crumbling under the pressure of millions of tourists that visit it every year. We hope it will stand the test of time, but we can’t really know for sure how long it’s going to last.
