This bleak Instagram account is collecting the saddest place names in the world

You don’t want to go to there.

INSTAGRAM IS USUALLY a place that inspires wanderlust and envy. Well, not this account. Sad topographies is an account that collects grim places on Google maps that we definitely don’t want to go to.

Places like… Alone, Italy, or Unfortunate, Canada.

The man behind the account, Damien Rudd, told Mashable that while the place names may seem funny now, many of them have “some very dark, and tragic stories behind them, and mostly likely refer less to the place itself, and more to events that took place there”.

Well, that’s made it even bleaker.
