5. The Arctic
Tranquil getaway
The quietest natural place on earth is arguably located in the northern frozen Arctic. The best time to visit the Arctic is June through September, because that’s when you can see wildlife moving through the area. From May through July, the Arctic even gets 24 hours of sunlight, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the sights and soak in some Vitamin D.
A cruise is the safest way to travel around the Arctic, but it’s also one of the most expensive. Therefore, some people opt for different modes of transportation for their travel plans, such as flying in on an airplane, or even just trekking through Canada into its northernmost parts with the help of local Inuits. All in all, not a lot of people make travel plans to the arctic so you can find peace and quiet in the cold atmosphere.
