6Snake Island, Brazil
Ilha da Queimada Grande, also known as Snake Island, is a small island off the coast of Brazil that is home to one of the world’s deadliest snakes, the golden lancehead viper. The island is so dangerous that the Brazilian government has banned visitors, with only a select few researchers allowed to study the snakes under strict supervision. The island’s dense population of venomous snakes makes it one of the most hazardous places on Earth.
Thanks to Google Maps, you can explore Snake Island’s rugged terrain without the risk of encountering its lethal inhabitants. The satellite view of the island reveals its dense vegetation and rocky coastline, but you won’t see any snakes from above. For those curious about this deadly island, Google Maps provides a safe and accessible alternative to an in-person visit.
