In this always-changing world, there is always a risk of losing places or species we want to see. Climate change and rising sea levels cause many well-loved places to be at risk of disappearing from us forever, and in a much nearer future than any of us want.

Everyone has heard of the rising temperatures that affect the world today. These rising temperatures are usually caused by greenhouse gasses building up in the atmosphere. But rising temperatures cause new issues in the world today, and one of those is places in the world disappearing within this lifetime, or even this decade. Some of the places that are predicted to disappear within this lifetime from rising temperatures include.

10 Glacier National Park

Over 1500 square miles of Montana's mountainous region, carved by glaciers, make up this epic national park. With over 700 hiking trails, it’s an easy place to spend time especially for those with an interest in photography. Camping is also popular, as well as cycling, and the wildlife ranges from grizzlies to goats. Glacial melting has a direct effect on places like Glacier National Park.

9 Great Barrier Reef

Off the coast of Australia lies the world’s largest coral reef. In fact, it comprises nearly 3,000 individual reefs and stretches over thousands of kilometers! Unfortunately, the Great Barrier Reef has lost over half of its coral reef since 1995. This is due to global warming and the effects of warmer seas on the coral. Snorkeling and boat rides are popular activities at the reef. It’s worth making this one a high priority before more damage is done to the reef by the warming climate.

8 Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica

The mystery of a cloud forest (named for its trailing mists which hang in the air) is unparalleled. Located on 10,500 hectares, Monteverde hosts over 70,000 visitors to the forest every single year. Admission is $25 for adults, with a $5 parking fee. Most visitors like two or three days in the forest to walk through the hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.

7 Glacier Bay National Park And Preserve, Alaska

A single glacier, with a thickness of thousands of feet, makes up the fjord of Glacier Bay. The actual park spans 3.3 million acres of mountainous region, fjords, coastline, and, of course, the glaciers which are now affected by global warming. There is no fee to enter this park. An abundance of wildlife, which one might not associate at first with Alaska, are present at Glacier Bay from moose and deer to bald eagles and wolves.

6 Mount Kilimanjaro

Composed of a dormant volcano, this Tanzanian treasure is world-famous at the highest free-standing mountain on Earth. This trip is particularly geared toward the avid adventurer; climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is an ideal trip especially for the first–time trekker. That said, Kilimanjaro is not for the absolute novice. Altitude and temperature changes can be hard on the body. Climbs vary in cost but in general it can be done for $2,000 – $6,000. The climb up to the summit, which is nearly 20,000 feet high, takes around five days and the descent takes about two. Shorter treks of three days are also available. The snows of Kilimanjaro are disappearing and predicted to be completely gone by 2033.

5 Maldives

The Republic of the Maldives, known as the Maldives, is an archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The water of the Maldives is clear turquoise, and the freestanding huts are iconic of the islands. Spa trips, scuba diving, dolphin watching, and surfing are popular activities to be taken advantage of; 80% of the islands could be uninhabitable by 2050 as the warm sea waters swallow up the Maldives.

4 Marshall Islands

Marine life and scuba diving are the top activities for those visiting the Marshall Islands, a combination of volcanic islands and atolls in the middle of the Pacific. It is one of the most endangered countries, highly at risk for disappearing due to rising seas. The Marshall Islands are also known for spearfishing opportunities!

3 Venice, Italy

Venice is known as the Floating City, but it might not be afloat for much longer. The city has been sinking since the twentieth century because its wooden foundations are not supporting the city as well as they once did. While efforts are being made to keep the city above the rising sea levels, it is a good idea to start planning for this trip before travelers have to start walking through the ocean to get to the city.

2 The Dead Sea

The Dead Sea, between Jordan and Israel, is shrinking. Along with it, the fresh water aquifers which lie around the Dead Sea are also disappearing, leading to massive sinkholes swallowing everything from palms to roads and even buildings. Tread carefully! But there are many beautiful botanic gardens, reserves, and photographic opportunities to be had at the Dead Sea. Visit while it is still possible.

1 Alexandria, Egypt

Alexandria is another place at risk of sinking due to climate change. If measures are not taken, the world could lose this port city known as the home of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. This bustling city has a plethora of activities including scuba diving, wonderful restaurants (especially seafood), and historical and cultural opportunities galore.

While the end of the century may seem a lifetime away, the effects of what’s coming are already noticeable. Glaciers are shrinking, sea levels are rising, and all these beautiful places are slowly starting to leave us. They are predicted to disappear in this century, as early as 2030 or as late as the end of the century. All these destinations are gorgeous, with views that will give someone the perfect photos every time, or with a huge diversity of animals and plants that are in the area. The time to enjoy this beautiful planet is now!
