Due to a high density of poisonous snakes, “one of the most dangerous islands in the world” is off-limits to travelers. However, a guy managed to get into the island.
Situated off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil, Ilha da Queimada Grande, sometimes called Snake Island, is deemed too hazardous for human habitation.
The island, which is just 106 acres in size, is said to be home to 4,000 snakes, including the very poisonous golden lancehead. The lancehead, a critically endangered species,
possesses very strong venom that may kill a person in less than an hour. It should come as no surprise that visiting Snake Island is prohibited,
with the exception of scientists and researchers who have obtained special authorization, given the abundance of very poisonous snakes on the island.
