It’s an incredible place with its shores 430 meters below sea level, it is the lowest point on dry land.

This city of canals is one of the most romantic places on earth, but this romantic place will not be able to spread love for long. Increased severe floods each year are a continuous threat to the survival of the city. It is possible that Venice will not remain a part of the world map in coming 50-70 years.

4. Glacier National Park, Montana

Glacier national park got its name from those 150 glaciers that once used to be a part of it. But, now this number has reduced to only 25. Soon, there will be no more glaciers in Glacier National Park. All this is happening because of increased accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that is leading to increasing temperature and thus melting of glaciers.
This park is also a famous tourist spot in which millions of visitors visit every year for doing different activities such as trekking, cycling, camping etc., but seems like soon this place is going to lose its charm.

5. Maldives

Maldives is the lowest-lying country in the world, only about 5 feet above sea level. If sea level continues to grow at the same pace, then Maldives would not be able to survive more than 50 years. It means the coming generations will not be able to witness this paradise of beautiful beaches of white sand and blue waters.
