Islands are usually associated with paradise, surrounded by lush greenery and perfect beaches. But some islands are not like that at all.
We will tell you about the most dangerous and terrifying islands in the world, where you definitely would not want to spend your vacation.
Bikini Island, Marshall Islands
This atoll is one of the most dangerous islands in the world. This is due to the large number of sharks and high levels of radiation. From 1946 to 1958, nuclear tests were conducted here, which almost completely destroyed the island. Ten years later, the islands began to be repopulated, declaring them "safe" for life. However, after conducting research a few years later, it was discovered that the radiation on the island still exceeds the norm by several times.
Ramri Island, Myanmar
This is home to a huge population of dangerous saltwater crocodiles. During World War II in 1945, the British drove about a thousand Japanese soldiers into the island's swamps. The Japanese tried to escape from the swamps, but most of them never returned. This story is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest crocodile attack ever.
Saba Island, Caribbean Sea
The windless side of the island resembles a tropical paradise. However, its western side reveals the true face of this place: cacti and z, dry shrubs, and destructive winds that destroy everything in their path. The main local attraction is the airport, which is considered one of the most dangerous in the world.
Poveglia Island, Italy
An island located in the Venice lagoon. During the Roman Empire, it was a place for plague victims. Over time, the island became a huge cemetery.

A small island with Mount Oyama volcano at its center. In 2000, during a volcanic eruption, the island was affected by toxic volcanic gas. The population of Miyakejima was evacuated for 4.5 years. People now live on the island, but toxic gas continues to be released to this day. The locals are used to this, so they always carry gas masks with them.
Snake Island, Brazil
This island could be a wonderful resort with excellent weather and incredibly beautiful beaches. However, it is home to some of the most dangerous poisonous snakes, whose venom causes instant death.

North Sentinel Island, India
One of the islands in the Bay of Bengal, inhabited by an aboriginal tribe. This tribe reacts quite aggressively to the outside world. The population does not exceed 400 people. This is the last and only uncontacted tribe on Earth. Representatives of the island often kill strangers. Among their victims were ordinary fishermen who were fishing near the island and American missionary John Allen Chau, who wanted to convert the aborigines to Christianity.
