The earth is in the universe, like a tiny grain of sand.
There seems to be no trace of the end of the universe, but on Earth, the "end of the world" is not out of reach.
As long as we have the courage, we can still pack our bags and go to these corners to find out.
The famous "End of the World" has the following four places, and I have only been to one of them. Each city has its own characteristics, and if I have the chance, I would like to go to other destinations to see.

When it comes to "the end of the world," many people think of this small South American city, and it's ushuaia. Built on the mountain and facing the sea, Ushuaia is the southernmost city in South America, hence the name "The End of the World".
After seeing the relevant photos, the lush slopes and the majestic white snow-capped mountains are intertwined, and Ushuaia is like the kind of town that only appears in fairy tales. Residents are mostly engaged in logging, sheep raising, fishing and other production. However, due to its unique geographical location, it has become a gateway to Antarctica and is famous all over the world.
Ushuaia is only 800 km from Antarctica. It takes at least a week to take a boat from Australia, New Zealand and other places to Antarctica, while setting sail from Ushuaia and crossing the Drake Strait can reach Antarctica in two days.
Thus for expeditions and expeditions to Antarctica, Ushuaia is an ideal starting and resupply base. It is the southernmost settlement in the world.
If they come to Ushuaia, tourists also head to the small post office at the end of the world. Not only can you enjoy the endless scenery of the Beagle Channel, but you will also sell postcards with the words "World's End Post", which can be filled out on site and mailed to all over the world.
Ushuaia is the closest city to the Antarctic, while Longyearbyen is the closest city in the world to the Arctic. Longyearbyen, also known as Longirbin, is only 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole and is listed in the world record.
Longyearbyen also has a special rule, it is the only city in the world to have a death law. Unless of sudden death, patients and elderly people must leave Longyearbyen to go to other hospitals in Norway for treatment and retirement. Moreover, people are forbidden to have children, and pregnant women must leave the place a month before giving birth.
Seemingly inhuman regulations are actually determined by the harsh living conditions here.
After inquiry, it turned out that it was because Longyearbyen's underground was almost all frozen soil, and the bodies buried in the ground would not decay and bacteria would not die. If harmful bacteria are infested, there will be serious unintended consequences.
On the other side of the hill near the town, there is a global seed bank for the salvation of humanity, the Svalbard Seed Vault. The Svalbard Seed Vault is a "seed bank" specially prepared for the "end of the world".
It aims to protect millions of food crops from extinction from catastrophes such as climate change, nuclear war and natural disasters, so it is also known as Noah's Ark for crops. Countries around the world can store their seeds in the Svalbard Seed Vault for free as a safe backup.
Tasmania is located in the south of Australia and is also known as the "end of the world" due to the fact that it has retained much of its original features.
Tasmania is Australia's most mountainous state, and about 40% is officially designated as a national park, nature reserve or World Natural Heritage, so it also attracts many tourists to come and play on holiday. It was the only "end of the world" I've ever been to, and the beautiful memories of this island still haunt me to this day.
The airport in Hobart, tasmania's capital, is a mini airport, allowing only domestic flights to and from, and no fresh fruit and fish allowed in, or it will be confiscated and punished. An international airport is already under construction, but at the rate of construction by Australians, it is uncertain when it will be repaired.
Tasmania has many attractions, Such as Cradle Mountain, Wineglass Bay, Mount Wellington, Port Arthur and many more. Mount Wellington is said to be able to see the South Pole when the weather is clear.
The island also has the only oviparous mammal on earth---- platypus, which is of great biological value. This creature, which was only seen in cartoons, still lives in Australia.
Kiribati is a Pacific island nation located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and is the only country in the world that straddles the northern and southern hemispheres and the eastern and western hemispheres. The country is made up of 33 large and small islands (21 of which have permanent residents), from Christmas Island in the east to Banaba Island in the west, distributed in 3800 kilometers of waters above the equator, with the world's largest marine protected area.
Kiribati is one of the least developed countries in the world and the only country in the world to cross the equator and cross the intersection of the International Date Line. The Lane Islands, to which it belongs, is the only place in the world that uses the UTC+14 time zone, making Kiribati the first country in the world to start its day.
Tips: utc+14 time zone, also known as Universal Time, Universal Standard Time, International Coordinated Time, referred to as UTC. The full English name is coordinated universal time, such as "Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the time difference and UTC are all +8, that is, utc+8." ”
Because the island is so remote, Kiribati is not developed, but the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. Developed countries such as Australia and Japan provide a large number of grants to The Foundation every year to help the Foundation carry out technical cooperation projects such as infrastructure construction and education and training.
Taking advantage of its geographical advantages across the international date line, the country is actively developing tourism and raising international visibility. The largest island, Christmas Island, is the largest clove coral island in the world, with a world-famous bird sanctuary and diving site, and is visited annually by tourists from the United States, Western Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
In fact, there is no end to the world, but because of the remoteness, these countries have become the end of the world in our mouth. The world is too big, there are too many scenery to see, there is time, just pack your bags and go to see it.
