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.
