It may be one of the most useful tools for millions of ordinary internet users, but Google Earth has at times given food for thought to those who believe that there are locations that are... hidden.

Check out just a few of these cases, as presented by Business Insider.
Severnaya Zemlya is an uninhabited area in the Russian Arctic, but it is not visible to internet users.
