I find it very a very romantic notion to have unknown areas on the world. Like some desert in the far south, beyond which might lie anything.

When I was a child I also thought the world (or more precisely, the earth) was infinite. Must have inferred this from movies and cartoons somehow. I was soooo disappointed to learn that the earth was finite.
