But first... a bit about me. My name is Kai Bentham. For the last 4 months I have been exploring the world using digital satellite imagery. The idea came to me when I read about Alex Hartley, who discovered a new piece of land near Svalbard which he called Nymark in 2004. It got me thinking - is there anywhere else in the world that hasn't been discovered yet?
So I started to research the more deserted, inhospitable parts of the world. Places where people don't go because they can't, and places where no-one is looking at... It turns out that there are vast open spaces which don't get much attention - hostile parts of huge oceans where no-one goes unless something goes wrong, and enormous tracts of icy wastes where melting ice is slowly revealing land that was hitherto hidden from sight.
So I've spent the last 5 months(!) painstakingly searching the world (or at least the most lonely parts of it), looking for something new, that no-one has uncovered. And... I think I've found something! It's tremendously exciting - a new piece of land that as far as I can tell, no-one has walked on it. I'm still checking the last few details, but I've just received verification from some very reliable sources, who agree that this is new and undiscovered, so I'm going to be posting my methods and how I found it, before I release the actual location.
If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer any emails: kaibentham@gmail.com. I'll be updating this blog with news and some of my methods over the next month. So - plenty more to come!
