A lot has been said about the catastrophe upon us in 2012 and what the likely effects of it will be. But where can we hide to withstand the Polar Reversal, the mega-tsunamis, the solar radiation, nuclear destruction, earthquakes and volcanoes?

Before we start to try and understand where are the so called safe places when the catastrophe of 2012 hits our planet, we should first understand where the most dangerous places are and why. This will help us better understand how to prepare and what to expect.

Unfortunately with geophysical impact of the magnitude associated with a polar shift and its direct result, we shouldn't look in our own backyards or familiar places to withstand the disaster of such a global catastrophe.

Altitude is not always a solid solution because the crust of the Earth will move and redraw the world map as we know it. Lower lands will most likely be inundated completely and certain maintain ranges will crumble as others will rise. There will be tidal waves of about 2 kilometers (7000 feet) high wiping away any and all structures standing. Besides massive destruction, everything will be flooded which excludes surviving subterranean. Let's browse through major areas on Earth to understand what makes them so dangerous and exclude them for survival places in 2012.

Australia is no option since there will be a collapse of mountain ranges (which currently are over 2000 meters yet no longer when the Earth crust shift manifests). It will sink and be flooded in its totally offering very low survival chances. In addition, the high mountains are all natural parks on which you can't build bunkers or stockpile survival material. How long do you think you can survive without food, material, etc.? Papua New Guinea had a land bridge with Australia after the previous cataclysm. Then the ice melted and the land bridge disappeared. When studying the polar shift map, we can conclude that Australia will be close to the new polar circle making it virtually impossible to survive due to its extreme cold weather, snow and ice:

Canada and the USA will be amongst the worst affected areas on Earth. As a result of the polar shift, Canada and a large part of the US will be under the pole circle (see figures).

Besides this, Yellowstone houses a supervolcano which will erupt and cause massive destruction through lava covering large areas prior to the area being covered under ice.
