Snake Island in Brazil
A small island off the coast of Brazil is called Snake Island, also known as Ilha da Queimada Grande. This island is renowned for being one of the most dangerous places on Earth due to its incredibly high population of venomous snakes. According to estimates, the island has one snake per square metre.
The Golden Lanceheads, a species of pit viper, are the main inhabitants of Snake Island and their venom is so potent that it can melt human flesh. Due to the extreme danger, public access to the island is prohibited, with only a few scientific researchers and the Brazilian Navy allowed to visit. The island’s eerie reputation and the tales of its deadly snakes have made it a subject of fascination and fear for many.

What a wonderful comprehensive article about some of the most dangerous and fascinating places on our planet. You have featured some places I definitely DON”T want to go (the Brazilian island with lots of venomous snakes and the frigid Oymyakon in Siberia) but also many of these places are very beautiful, if dangerous in climate or dangerous to navigate. Your article has made me curious to learn more about visiting some of these unique locations. Thank you for such an informative and interesting article.

It’s a bit of a shame that so many of these dangerous places are also incredibly beautiful! Especially natural wonders like the Cave of Crystals in Mexico. That is flipping gorgeous.
I normally avoid risks, but I would love to visit some of these unearthly locations!
(I mean, apart from Runit Dome – that’s not really beautiful, but it is fascinating!)
