Stun Yourself Seeing These 21 Most Dangerous
Islands There are some islands around the world
that are forbidden to visit. Unlike Ibiza, Malta
or Hvar, these islands aren't known for their
wild party spot and spectacular
beaches. Instead, you have to be careful of
dangerous creatures, breathe through a gas mask
or pray the ship and even makes it to shore.
Here are eight deathly islands where you will
definitely never desire to reach. See the most
dangerous islands around the world
1. Ilha da Queimada, Brazil
Via itspossible.gr Ilha da Queimada is also
known as the Snake Island, located off the coast
of Brazil, housing thousands of Golden Lancehead
Vipers and little else. The snakes are among
the world's most poisonous ones, and there is,
according to local legend, around five of the
crawling animals to every square meter. or
years, the only human resident was a lighthouse
keeper, but now the Brazilian Navy has banned all
the citizens of the island.

2. Miyake-Jima, Japan
Via imgur.com Miyaka-Jima is situated on the
islands of Japan. The most marking feature is the
active volcano, Mount Oyama, which has erupted
quite a few times in recent history. Since the
most recent outburst in 2005, the volcano has
constantly been leaking poisonous gas, requiring
citizens to carry a gas mask at all times. Sirens
come into action across the island when the
levels of sulfur rise strongly and sharply.
3. Saba, Netherlands Antilles
Via islands.com/caption As per the website of
the Caribbean Hurricane Network, the tiny island
of Saba has been in the radar of more severe
storms in the last 150 years than any other
region, including by 15 category three storms and
seven category fives. If you ever want to visit
this place, its advised to head during winters.

4. Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands
Via tripfreakz.com Bikini Atoll, Marshall
Islands is the UNESCO World Heritage Site which
is known to be fatal for two reasons, one is
nuclear radiation and the other is for
sharks. The site has been the eye-witness of
more than 20 nuclear weapons tests between 1946
and 1958. Although in 1997, the island was
declared 'safe.' But their native residents
refused to come back. Eating products are not
recommended that are locally grown. Then no
chomping or biting on fallen coconuts. Apart
from this, the lack of fishing in the area during
the last 65 years means that marine life
including sharks - attracts hundreds of divers
every year along with many damages and debris in
this area.
5. Gruinard Island, Scotland

In the north of Scotland, this small island was
used by the British government for biological
armed conflict testing during World War
II. Many experiments were done on the
uninhabited island using the Excessive toxic
anthrax bacterium (virus), which killed hundreds
of sheep and forced the island to be confined. In
the 1980s, the island was purified by using
hundreds of tons of formaldehyde - another
potentially dangerous material.
6. Farallon Islands, US
Via netdna-cdn.com Also Read Most Dangerous
Beaches In The World
In between the time period of 1946 and 1970, the
sea around the Farallon Islands off the coast of
San Francisco was used as a dumping site for
radioactive waste. An approximated 47,500
55-gallon (208-liter) steel drums were thrown
out here but their exact location and the risk
they pose to the environment is not clear.
Its also concluded that attempting to remove
them would result in causing more damage than
leaving them untouched. Theres also an
extensive elephant seal population, which
attracts a number of Great White Sharks. So, at
your own risk, go for snorkeling.

Guinness as the World's Smallest Island with a
building on it. It stands at the end of

claimed the title of the most densely-populated
destination on the planet. Thousands of Japanese
workers along with forced laborers from China and
Korea who worked hard in the islands deep mine
shafts during World War II have a long history in
the past.
12
When Japan shifted to petroleum as its main
energy source instead of coal, the island was no
longer economically usable, and hence abandoned.
Most of the massive concrete buildings are still
standing, though, which makes this island an
atmosphere of a floating ghost town, or an old
battleship.
