Man, not being a waterfowl, has not yet been investigated more than five percent of the world’s oceans.
Nevertheless, on land we, apparently, penetrated wherever only it was possible. British experts made an attempt detect at least one piece of land untouched on our planet civilization, but their efforts were unsuccessful. TO mankind has managed to visit impassable rain forests, and on non-melting polar ice, and in the vast open spaces of deserts.
The authors of the study were employees of Oxford University. in England. Three years ago, scientists set a goal to find on Earth virgin land that would not be affected by human activities. However, for this they didn’t find the time and square mile that would have today the same view as thousands of years ago. There are no such territories turned up neither in Antarctica nor on the distant islands in the Pacific Ocean, nor on Mount Jomolungme.

Thus, experts once and for all determined that human activity, albeit in places and indirectly, influenced every inch of our common “home”.
Human activity does not transform the Earth for the better side
According to the British, the Great Industrial revolution. Before the industrial revolution, the impact of our civilization on the blue ball was mostly localized, however after the advent of advanced technology, people settled around Earth and transformed to one degree or another all corners of the land. “This the fact is very sad to realize, “says Jeremy Henderson, one from the authors of the project.
Oxford researchers note that rainforests are actively infiltrated and spread there derived by man crops crowding out wild vegetation nature. In Antarctica, traces of radiation from the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as from the disaster on Chernobyl nuclear power plant. And in deserts, immoderate grazing of animals leads to the fact that livestock destroys plants, fixing their roots sandy soil and loose sand begins to move that leads to an increase in desert areas.

Jeremy Henderson says: “Our descendants have never will be able to become discoverers finding something new on land. And the oceans, unfortunately, are not so attractive to man, because he does not have physical ability in them reside. One can only hope that someday representatives of our civilization will fly to other planets and find there no less beautiful and amazing nature, and they will no longer ruin it so much unreasonable and ruthless. ”
