10, Snake Island
A small island full of poisonous snakes. This is an area of only 0The 43-square-kilometer island, located off the southeast coast of Brazil, is the island of Grand Kemada, but more people like to call it Snake Island directly, because the density of snakes here is so high, there is a venomous snake every 5 square meters, what is the concept?Generally, the total area of a one-room rental house is about 20 square meters, and there are four snakes in one room. And each one is super poisonous, but fortunately it is 32 kilometers from the coast of the mainland, otherwise if the passage can allow the snake to escape to the South American continent, the consequences are unimaginable.
Later, to protect people, of course, also to protect this rare species, Brazil** issued a ban, except for approved professionals who were allowed to land on the island, no one is allowed to visit Snake Island, even researchers who have obtained permission to land on the island, must also travel with a licensed doctor, in case of close contact with poisonous snakes, in short, people who go to this island without permission will not only face serious legal problems, but also may lose their lives.
9. Danakil Depression
The Danakil Depression is the northernmost part of the Great Rift Valley, known as the "scar of the earth", where it is 110 meters below sea level, and the whole area is still being torn and sinking at a rate of 1 2 centimeters per year, in contrast to the cool and mild highlands of Ethiopia, it has become one of the lowest, driest and hottest places on earth, and the desert volcanoes along the lake form an antique alien landscape, where the average daily temperature is 344. There is only about 100 mm of rainfall per year.
The most important thing is that there is a large area of salt slabs with an area of several hundred meters and an area of about 1,200 square kilometers, and no one else can endure the heat of 50 meters except the Afar, where the hot wind can suffocate people with sand and dust, but can suffocate people on days without wind, and there is sulfur rising from the ground everywhere, and the heat brought by active volcanoes.
, Tristan da Cunha Island
Nestled in the Atlantic Ocean, this land is a British overseas territory, 2,810 kilometers from Cape Town, South Africa, and 3,360 kilometers from the North and South States. For this reason, it is also known as the most remote inhabited island in the world. Communication with the outside world is extremely difficult, and the only connection to the outside world is the small steamer that runs to and from Cape Town every year, and there are only a handful of nine sailings a year, this isolated place is called Tristan da Cunha, a volcanic archipelago with only about 200 inhabitants of about 170 square kilometers.
The island of Tristan da Cunha is so people who like to be isolated naturally feel that it is paradise.
7. Sarisariyama Mountain
Mount Sariniama is a mesa in Venezuela that is different from other mesas. Densely forested and 56 kilometres from the nearest road, the isolated environment gives birth to a unique ecosystem that includes many endemic plant and animal species, and the most distinctive feature of Sarisarima is its four huge sinkholes, one of which is more than 500 metres wide and 300 metres deep.
At present, it has been explored by explorers, as for the follow-up, whether the original ecology has been destroyed, it is unknown.
6. Mariana Trench
The Mariana Trench is the deepest trench in the world, and it is also an extremely harsh place, its depth has not yet been determined, due to the huge water pressure, it is difficult for humans to dive into its deepest depth, nevertheless, since the discovery of the Mariana Trench in 1875, scientists have not stopped exploring the Mariana Trench.
The trench is about 20,542 kilometers long, five times the length of the Grand Canyon in the United States, and the largest known depth is 10,984 meters.
What is most surprising is that in such an extreme environment, recent scientific expeditions have uncovered unexpected biodiversity. The deepest part of the Mariana Trench is home to animals that can withstand extreme stress and complete darkness, relying on substances like methane or sulfur to survive or to prey on marine life at the bottom of the food chain due to severe food shortages.
It is enough to see the greatness of the earth.
5. Sultesey Island
An island that is tightly controlled. What is so special about the island of Sirtesey that emerged after a massive volcanic eruption in 1963 that lasted for three years, and since then Sirte has been a center of scientific research and observationScientists have focused on how an ecosystem was formed from scratch without any human intervention, and in order to improve the accuracy of observations, only a few scientists were allowed to land on Surt, and the rest could only observe it up close by small aircraft, making the island one of the most inaccessible places on Earth, and even those who were allowed to land on the island were required to conduct a thorough search before entering the island in case any seeds were accidentally brought in.
Sultese Island4. Heard Island and McDonald Islands
Heard Island and MacDonald Islands are two uninhabited deserted islands in the southern Indian Ocean, it is 1700 kilometers away from Antarctica, about 4100 kilometers southwest of the Australian city of Pest, Heard Island was discovered by American captain John Heard in 1853 and named after himself, in 1854 the British Bo seal ship captain Wellcome MacDonald discovered the MacDonald Islands, named after himself, and then occupied the island for up to 20 years to hunt seals and royal penguins, and finally in 1910 the United Kingdom officially swore sovereignty over Heard Island。
However, due to the remoteness of these two islands, the two islands were handed over to Australia as an overseas territory of Australia in 1947 and were selected as World Natural Heritage in 1997, and have been strictly protected since then.
3. Jawari Valley
Unlike the off-the-beaten-path places mentioned above, it is known for its rampant drug traffic, especially when criminals trade in drugs with impunity, and the Jawari Valley's rich tropical resources have attracted poachers, fishermen and illegal loggers over the past decade, leading to a number of violent clashes with the local indigenous population, so be careful if you want to visit the land on a whim.
Jawari Valley June 2022 -- British freelance journalist Phillips and Brazilian Amazon Aboriginal expert Andreas Pereira have been arrested for helping to protect indigenous people from illegal drug traffickers, miners, lumberjacks and hunters, and there is little information about the indigenous people here, except that they are divided into more than 20 tribes of about 3,000 people, 2,000 of whom are completely isolated.
2. Pitcairn Islands
The Pitcairn archipelago is a typical desert island group, with an area of only 47 square kilometres, this archipelago contains four volcanic islands, and only one small island is inhabited, making it one of the smallest inhabited islands on earth.
As of January 2020, it has been more than 200 years since the island was founded, but there are only 47 permanent residents on the island, and there are few tourists, there is no airport on the island, and most boats are difficult to reach due to the difficulty of berthing, fresh water is scarce, there is no permanent water source, and it is indeed not enough to feed many people. Of course, for a small number of people who have successfully landed on the island, the experience of the journey on the island is quite unforgettable, after all, there is no marine reserve here, this is still a dark sky reserve, you can do dark sky observation on a sunny day, and maybe you can also catch the meteors in the fireworks sky.
Pitcairn Islands1. North Sentinal Island
North Sentinal Island, also known as North Sentinel Island, is located in the Bay of Bengal, belonging to India, the entire island area is less than 60 square kilometers, but it has a very long history, according to geographers, this small island has been formed at least 100,000 years ago, and the indigenous people living on this island are called Sentinar people, they have lived and bred here for more than 60,000 years, and it is likely that they are the direct descendants of the first group of humans to appear in Africa.
Scientists combined some ** data and the description of the surrounding residents to them, and believe that the civilization of the Sentinel people on the island is obviously still in the Stone Age, that is to say, they have been isolated from the world at least 10,000 years ago, so they have not developed a civilization after the Stone Age. These natives are a typical tribal civilization, and their way of life is still traditional hunting for a long time, which makes Sentinal far more physical and powerful than modern humans.
However, these Northern Sentinar people considered the island to be their private property, and any outsider would be seen as an invader and would be mortally attacked, and finally the Indian** protected it.
As the only existing human group that is not affected by modern civilization, how to deal with them is indeed a difficult problem, since they can no longer assimilate, they cannot forcibly occupy the island. Therefore, the best way is to let them develop, so in order to protect this tribal civilization, India** has set North Sentinal Island and its surrounding 6 kilometers of the sea area as a forbidden area.
