STUN YOURSELF SEEING THESE 21 MOST DANGEROUS
ISLANDS!
There are some islands around the world that are
forbidden to visit. Unlike Ibiza, Malta or Hvar,
these islands arent known for their wild party
spot and spectacular beaches.
Instead, you have to be careful of dangerous
creatures, breathe through a gas mask or pray the
ship and even makes it to shore. Here are eight
deathly islands where you will definitely never
desire to reach.

in 2005, the volcano has constantly been leaking

mask at all times. Sirens come into action across
the island when the levels of sulfur rise
strongly and sharply.

Via tripfreakz.com

Bikini Atoll, Marshall Islands is the UNESCO
World Heritage Site which is known to be
fatal for two reasons, one is nuclear radiation
and the other is for sharks.
The site has been the eye-witness of more than 20
nuclear weapons tests between 1946 and 1958.
Although in 1997, the island was declared safe.
But their native residents refused to come back.
Eating products are not recommended that are
locally grown. Then no chomping or biting on
fallen coconuts.
Apart from this, the lack of fishing in the area
during the last 65 years means that marine life
including sharks??attracts hundreds of divers
every year along with many damages and debris in
this area.

5. Gruinard Island, Scotland
Via pbase.com
In the north of Scotland, this small island was
used by the British government for biological
armed conflict testing during the World War II.
Many experiments were done on the uninhabited
island using the Excessive toxic anthrax
bacterium (virus), which killed hundreds of sheep
and forced the island to be confined. In the
1980s, the island was purified by using hundreds
of tons of formaldehyde??another potentially
dangerous material.

Also Read Most Dangerous Beaches In The World
In between the time period of 1946 and 1970, the
sea around the Farallon Islands off the coast of
San Francisco was used as a dumping site for
radioactive waste. An approximated 47,500
55-gallon (208-liter) steel drums were thrown out
here but their exact location and the risk they
pose to the environment is not clear.
Its also concluded that attempting to remove
them would result in causing more damage than
leaving them untouched. Theres also an extensive
elephant seal population, which attracts a number
of Great White Sharks. So, at your own risk, go
for snorkeling.

When Japan shifted to petroleum as its main
energy source instead of coal, the island was no

are still standing, though, which makes
this island an atmosphere of a floating ghost
town, or an old battleship.
