Bodie, California, is a legendary gold rush ghost town located in the Bodie Hills east of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Mono County, about 75 miles southeast of Lake Tahoe. Discovered in 1859 by prospector W.S. Bodey—who perished in a blizzard before seeing its success—the site exploded into a booming mining camp after rich gold strikes in 1876, attracting up to 10,000 residents by 1879 with over 2,000 buildings, including 65 saloons, opium dens, a red-light district, and a Wells Fargo bank, earning a reputation for lawlessness, gunfights, and harsh winters. During its peak from 1877 to 1881, Bodie's mines produced nearly $34 million in gold and silver, making it one of California's most productive sites, supported by innovative technologies like the Standard Mill for ore processing. The town's decline began in the 1880s due to depleted veins, economic downturns, and devastating fires in 1892 and 1932 that razed much of the community, reducing the population to a few hundred by the early 1900s and labeling it a ghost town by 1915. Mining ceased entirely by 1942, and the last residents departed in the 1950s, leaving Bodie abandoned until it was designated a California State Historic Park in 1962 and a National Historic Landmark in 1961. Today, preserved in a state of "arrested decay" with about 170 weathered buildings, including homes, a schoolhouse, church, and jail. Bodie attracts over 200,000 visitors annually to explore its eerie, time capsule atmosphere, accessible year-round via State Route 270. | public | -- |

An underground bunker at the former Naval Station Argentia near Placentia, Newfoundland, is believed by some to be a World War II-era hospital, but it was actually the base's secret Command and Control (CNC) center. The bunker is an abandoned two- or three-story reinforced concrete structure that is now a popular spot for urban explorers. | public | -- |

Uranium City is a remote northern Saskatchewan community on the shore of Lake Athabasca, approximately 760 km northwest of Prince Albert and 48 km south of the Northwest Territories border. Established in 1952 by the provincial government, it served as a central hub for Eldorado Mining and Refining’s uranium operations in the Beaverlodge mining district. Driven by Cold War demand and post-war exploration, the town rapidly grew from tent camps to a thriving settlement of nearly 10,000 residents by the 1960s, featuring schools, a hospital, an airport, and over a dozen active mines—including Gunnar and Lorado—supplying uranium for Canada’s CANDU reactors after military priorities shifted. The 1982 closure of the flagship Beaverlodge Mine, due to high costs, low ore grades, and a declining market, triggered a sudden collapse, reducing the population to under 400 within months and leaving a near ghost town of abandoned structures. Today, approximately 200 residents—including Métis and First Nations members—remain, sustaining a small community focused on fishing, tourism, and occasional exploration. Accessible only by air or seasonal winter road, it is supported by a modest airport and Ben McIntyre School. Ongoing environmental remediation is led by Cameco and Orano, with potential for future mining revival amid legacy cleanup efforts. | public | -- |

The Ruinas do Hotel Gávea, also known as the "Hotel Esqueleto" or Skeleton Hotel, is an unfinished 16-story luxury hotel complex abandoned in the heart of Rio de Janeiro's Floresta da Tijuca, near São Conrado and the iconic Pedra da Gávea, offering stunning panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Designed in 1953 by architect Décio da Silva Pacheco as Brazil's most opulent resort—with plans for 440 rooms, a restaurant, convention center, sky terrace boate, and even a cable car system—the 30,000-square-meter structure, spanning 125 meters long and 50 meters high with 272 access steps, was halted by the bankruptcy of its developer, Incorporadora Califórnia, in 1972, leaving it as a raw concrete skeleton that never hosted a single guest. Over decades, the site fell into decay, serving briefly as a party venue in 1965 and later as a shelter for the homeless or criminal hideout, while rampant vandalism stripped its materials; today, it's a perilous urban exploration hotspot drawing adventurers for Instagram-worthy photos, though risks like structural instability and lack of oversight persist. In 2023, the property was acquired by GV2 Produção for revival as the compact Gávea Boutique & Extended Stay Hotel with 230 units, targeting a 2026 opening amid ongoing environmental and preservation debates. | public | -- |

Frank, Alberta, is a small historic coal mining community nestled in the Crowsnest Pass of the Canadian Rockies, about 250 km southwest of Calgary, founded in 1901 by American entrepreneur Sam Gebo to support the International Coal and Coke Company's operations at the base of unstable Turtle Mountain. Rapidly growing to over 1,000 residents with businesses, a school, and rail access, it became the first incorporated village in the Pass, thriving amid the early 20th-century coal boom. Tragically, on April 29, 1903, at 4:10 a.m., a massive 110 million-tonne limestone slab—measuring 3,280 feet wide, 1,400 feet high, and 500 feet deep—detached from the mountain and thundered down in 90 seconds, burying much of the town, destroying infrastructure, and claiming 70–90 lives in Canada's deadliest rockslide, known as the Frank Slide. *This is the original site of where the town of Frank once existed before being buried under heavy mountainous rock.* | public | -- |

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel perched at 2,430 meters (7,970 feet) above sea level in the Andes Mountains of southern Peru, near Cusco. Built around 1450 under Emperor Pachacuti as a royal estate or sacred retreat, it features precisely cut granite stonework, terraced fields, temples, and residences for up to 750 people, all integrated into the rugged landscape. Abandoned during the Spanish conquest and rediscovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham, the UNESCO World Heritage Site remains remarkably intact and is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, drawing millions of visitors annually for its architectural ingenuity and historical significance. | public | -- |

The Hillcrest Mines Memorial Cemetery is a memorial and active cemetery in Crowsnest Pass, Alberta, dedicated to the victims of the worst coal mining disaster in Canadian history. On June 19, 1914, a methane and coal dust explosion in the Hillcrest Mine killed 189 miners, and most were buried in mass graves at this site. The cemetery serves as a memorial and an educational site, featuring interpretive walks, informative boards about the disaster, and a picnic area. | public | -- |
