The Scariest Places On Earth: Snake Island

The only way this island could be more terrifying is if it were actually made of floating snakes. And for all intents and purposes, it may as well be. Ilha da Queimada Grande is a restricted island 93 miles south of Sao Paulo, Brazil and its home to an species of lethal pit viper known as the Golden Lancehead, which is one of the most venomous snakes in the entire world. When you factor in the conservative -- but still mind-boggling -- estimate that there’s one snake for every square meter of Snake Island... well, how comfortable would you be with a deadly serpent never more than 3 feet away from you, hiding in the trees, or silently slithering its way towards you? Same here.

Fortunately, even if you are some kind of super-hardcore, snake-loving adventurer, you can’t go to Snake Island. It’s so dangerous that the Brazilian Army has forbidden anyone but maintenance crews and scientists access to it (and they’re probably looking for new jobs as you’re reading this).
