The 9 most dangerous islands in the world

Our editorial has been looking at nine potentially deadly islands where you wouldn’t want to fail you or have

Most of the islands we will present you here seem to have everything to be among the more beautiful islands of the world ... Looking closer, no one would like to put their feet on it. Why? These are the Dangerous on Earth. Venomous snouts, hungry crocodiles, irradiated soil, etc. Each of these islands has something that makes it nightmare for a holiday in the sun.

1. Ilha da Queimada, Brazil

Ilha da Queimada, nicknamed “Island with snakes” , is located off the coast of Brazil and houses thousands of old Iron Spearheads Dorée, and nothing else. These snakes are among the most venomous in the world, and there are, according to the local legend, about five of these creeping beasts per square meter of the island. For years, the only human inhabitant was a lighthouse keeper, but now the Brazilian Navy banned any civilian from entering the island.

2. Miyake-jima, Japan

Located in the Izu archipelago off Tokyo, Japan, the most important feature of Miyake-jima is its active volcano, Mount Oyama, which has erupted several times in recent decades. Since the most recent eruption in 2005, toxic emanations have fled from the volcano and visitors are forced to wear a gas mask at any time. Mermaids occur across the island when sulphur levels increase sharply.

3. Saba, Netherlands Antilles

According to the Caribbean Hurricane Network, the small island of Saba has been struck by the heaviest hurricanes over the past 150 years, more than all other islands in the region, including fifteen hurricanes of category 3 and seven of category 5. Visit this island only in winter.

4. Atoll de Bikini, Marshall Islands

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is dangerous for two reasons: nuclear radiation and sharks. It was the theatre of more than 20 nuclear tests between 1946 and 1958, and although the islands were declared "safe" in 1997, their inhabitants refused to return, and eating locally grown products is not recommended. In addition, the lack of fishing in the region over the past 65 years has led to the spread of marine life, especially sharks, which, with the many wrecks in the region, attracts hundreds of divers every year.

5. North Sentinel Island, Andaman Islands (Indian Ocean)

This small island populated by about two hundred individuals, called the Sentinels, is famous for hosting the most isolated people in the world. Any attempt to contact the outside is made by stones and arrows. In 2006, two fishermen found themselves in the marine area of the island North Sentinel were killed by archers.

6. Gruinard Island, Scotland

This small island in northern Scotland was used by the British government for biological weapons testing during the Second World War. Experiences were conducted on the island uninhabited using the bacteria charcoal bacillus very virulent, who killed hundreds of sheep and forced the authorities to quarantine the island. The island was decontaminated in the 1980s, using hundreds of tons of formaldehyde, another potentially dangerous material.

7. Farallon Islands, United States

Between 1946 and 1970, the waters around the Farallon Islands off the coast of San Francisco served as a radioactive waste disposal site. It is estimated that 48,000 low radioactive waste drums were immersed off the islands, but their exact location and danger to the environment remain uncertain. There is also a large population of sea elephants, which attracts dozens of great white sharks. In March 2015, the wreckage of the aircraft carrier USS Independence is rediscovered in the region; measurements made near the wreck do not show nuclear contamination, despite the loading of waste drums during its voluntary torpedo in 1951.

8. Ramree Island, Burma

This island, off the coast of Burma, is famous for a horrible incident that took place during the Second World War. In 1945, following the fighting between the British and Japanese troops, some 400 Japanese soldiers were forced to flee to the marshes around the island, where they were apparently taken partly by a large population of marine crocodiles. The incident is, according to the Guinness Book of Records, “the greatest disaster endured (by humans) by animals.”

9. Thilafushi Island, Maldives

We surname the island trash. Indeed, the island nation of the Maldives cannot bury its waste in immense discharges as the rest of us does. Confronted with many waste and few options, the Maltese decided to start throwing them into an uninhabited lagoon. Needless to come with his towel and bathing suit here, there is no room to spread on the beach.
