Escape the smog: Discover the pristine air of Tasmania
Are you tired of smog and exhaust pollution? Do you long for a vacation away from the city's noise, where you can breathe exceptionally clean air? Tasmania is the place for you! The town of Cape Grim boasts the cleanest air on our planet.
Climate change, melting glaciers, land degradation, and ubiquitous smog — the state of the Earth is far from ideal. More and more people are painfully experiencing the effects of climate change. Some choose to leave city life for the countryside, while others take it a step further and leave the country in search of a place with excellent air quality.
The cleanest air on earth in a spray
At the northwestern tip of Tasmania lies the Cape Grim peninsula. This region is the most forested area of Australia, rich with conifers and eucalyptus. In 1976, an atmospheric station was established there, and it has monitored air composition for over 40 years. Analyses have shown that the cleanest air in the world hovers over Cape Grim.
What contributes to its quality? The region is situated between the marine subtropical and moderately warm climate zones. In an area of 27 square miles, numerous trees filter the air. An additional advantage is that just half a million people inhabit it.
Thanks to the favorable climate, Tasmanians are developing various ventures. Producing crystal-clear spirits such as gin, whiskey, and vodka brings considerable profits. A bottle of these liquors costs between 70 and 220 dollars. Some entrepreneurs also sell clean air in a spray, marketed as "100 Fresh Breaths. 100% Fresh Air."
Hawaii, Tasmania, Antarctica — Places to breathe the cleanest air
Are you considering a change in environment due to climate? Maybe Hawaii will be the perfect option if you value warmth and proximity to water. Mauna Loa offers an air of similar purity. Ny-Ålesund in Norwegian Svalbard will appeal to lovers of the Scandinavian climate and also offer equally clean air.
