LimnophobiaFor those with Limnophobia, a fear of lakes, Migis Lodge is far from a respite, being located on the 3,500ft shoreline of Sebago Lake in southern Maine. The lake is 316ft at its deepest, eight miles wide and 10 miles long. (Luscious Frames/Alamy)HodophobiaAlaska’s Dalton Highway, 244 miles of service-free road -- the longest stretch in the world -- makes those with Hodophobia, a fear of road travel, tremble and even hardy travellers think twice. (Terry Feuerbor)NomophobiaWith absolutely no calling plans offered, Big Sur’s Treebones Resort distresses anyone with Nomophobia, a fear of losing cell phone reception. In this unplugged destination, cell phones, indoor bathrooms and children under six are nearly impossible to find. (David Droke)CryophobiaTravellers with Cryophobia, a fear of extreme cold, have avoided Lapland’s IceHotel in Finland since it opened in 1989. The world’s first hotel made of ice has 40 rooms, a bar and a church, all constructed from 40,823 tonnes of the frozen stuff. (Leif Milling)HippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobiaTravellers who are disturbed by long words will tremble when trying to pronounce Krung thep mahanakhon bovorn ratanakosin mahintharayutthaya mahadilok pop noparatratchathani burirom udomratchanivetmahasathan amornpiman avatarnsathit sakkathattiyavisnukarmprasit, the 167-letter formal name for the city of Bangkok.
