There's two places in the world that you would be safe in the event of a nuclear war, according to an expert - and they might surprise you, El.kz cites unilad.com.

While a nuclear war would be detrimental to the entire world population, there are apparently a few places that would be safer than others.

Investigative journalist and author Annie Jacobsen explained that Australia and New Zealand could be two of the best places to head to in a worst case scenario, due to the fact that countries in the Southern Hemisphere would be the only ones capable of 'sustaining agriculture'.

In an interview with Steven Bartlett for The Diary of a CEO podcast last year, Jacobsen said: "Places like Iowa and Ukraine would be just snow for 10 years. So agriculture would fail and when agriculture fails, people just die.

"On top of that, you have the radiation poisoning because the ozone layer will be so damaged and destroyed that you can't be outside in the sunlight.

"People will be forced to live underground. So you have to imagine people living underground, fighting for food everywhere except for in New Zealand and Australia."
