A bit unsure how you mean this?

Untamed nature is way different than the huge parks you have abroad.

A park like Yellow Stone or Joshua tree, for example?

Yes, then untamed nature for sure is different. Guess you also have in mind the unreachable areas and impenetrable jungles so overgrown by wild growth that you can't find a way. That must have been hard for the first explorers who fought their way through the thicket, accepting all kinds of inflammation and poisoning. ... Real pioneers. One could be happy when wild animals had already trampled a path.

I feel reminded to read travel and research reports from this time (18th and beginning of 19th century) and to get involved with the reports from the flora and fauna. Less on what the researchers unfortunately also interpreted when they saw "savages". A completely wrongly drawn picture of tribal cultures that for a long time obscured our civilized gaze.

Sort:  

I meant "untamed" as in wild, pure and untouched nature, forests, mountains, just like you described it. And by "huge parks" I had city parks in mind, because in Greece we don't have vast areas like Central Park, for example.

Now that you mentioned those expedition reports, you just reminded me of this movie: The Lost City of Z

Oh, cool! Thank you. I haven't heard of that movie. And I can watch it through amazon prime. I just clicked it underneath and my site opened. Wonders of modern technology! LOL.
