The Most Obscure Mountain Ranges You’ve Never Heard Of

Hidden across Earth are mountain ranges so remote, isolated, and unknown that most people have never even heard their names before. From giant volcanic mountains rising out of the Sahara Desert, to glaciers almost directly on the equator, to endless frozen wilderness deep in Alaska and Antarctica, these are some of the most fascinating and obscure mountain ranges on the planet. In this video, we explore the Simien Mountains, Serranía del Darién, Brooks Range, Drakensberg, Sayan Mountains, Saint Elias Mountains, Rwenzori Mountains, Tibesti Mountains, and the Transantarctic Mountains. Along the way, we’ll uncover hidden valleys, ancient cultures, giant glaciers, volcanic deserts, dangerous wilderness regions, and mountain landscapes that barely even look real.
