Some places on Earth aren't closed because they're dangerous to you. They're closed because you're dangerous to them.
A fish that lives in one hole in the desert — guarded by fences, cameras and federal law. A cave in France ruined by tourists' breath. A cave you can enter only if you're one of five people a week. A secret kept for 14 years. A brand-new island where a tomato grew out of a scientist's mistake. Crystals the size of trees. A lake sealed under 4 km of Antarctic ice. And a cave cut off from the world for 5.5 million years.
11 places sealed off from humans — and the real reasons why, on satellite maps.
