This can happen for several reasons, including the presence of predators or even toxic substances. There are dangerous because the island has a sulfur gas, nuclear radiation or traces of the former factory of chemical and biological weapons. Although dangerous and toxic, however, many tourists are curious and have the balls still come to the islands of the most dangerous. Here are 8 islands that are considered the most dangerous in the world, sepeerti quoted versesofuniverse.blogspot.com.
Ilha de Queimada Grande is an island located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of São Paulo, Brazil. Island with an area of 430,000 square meters (110 hectares) was nicknamed "Snake Island", and now uninhabited although remnants of the lighthouse prove the existence of humans in the past. Keeping the lighthouse today must be the job of risking life, karen island is completely filled with snakes - snakes around one for every square meter of the island.
Snake is there was not any snakes. Three of the four species of snake that is documented in Ilha de Queimada Grande is a venomous vipers. Bothrops insularis, Golden lancehead, is one of the deadliest snakes on Earth. Because these snakes prey on birds instead of mammals, their venom has grown to be up to five times more toxic than their mainland relatives. More read here.
7. Gruinard Island
In World War II, the British government decided to test anthrax to be used as a biological weapon and buy Gruinard Island of the owner to be used as a testing ground. Island in a part of Scotland, it remains contaminated with anthrax for decades - at least until 1986, when 280 tons of formaldehyde sprayed on the island to kill the spores.
Gruinard Island was later declared free of the dangers in 1990, but it is likely there is another danger that threatens there, because no one knows how long-term effects of formaldehyde poisoning.
6. Miyakejima
Miyakejima island, located in the Izu island group, in Japan, is a volcanic island with an active volcano which erupts every few years, but much more lethal toxic sulfur gas that seeps from the mountains and from the ground.
In July 2000, the Mount at Miyakejima, Mount Oyama erupted (again) to encourage evacuation completed in September of the same year. No one was allowed back for five years, but even now the residents told to carry gas masks and use it every time when the alarm warning of high levels of sulfur in the air rang. Remarkably, Miyakejima then become a tourist spot, because many people are curious to know from the internet and visit there. Stores that sell gas masks to tourists are springing up there .. Sulfur is emitted, but it did not seem dangerous ... for a while ... Read more read here
5. Island runit
Enewetak Atoll is part of the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Island on the list here is the island runit. This is because the US nuclear testing in the atoll for years until the late 1970s, when some residents were allowed to return. Unfortunately, the massive cleanup operation by the United States in 1977, taking 111,000 cubic meters of soil and debris contaminated from nearby islands and buried in the blast crater at the tip of the island runit. US military to build a dome of 100,000 square feet consisting of 358 concrete panels - known as Cactus Dome - to cover the soil and debris contaminated. In 1980, the government decided runit Island safe for occupancy. But safe for whom? It seems that the island is clearly not safe for anyone on this planet, humans and animals.
4. Vozrozhdeniya
Vozrozhdeniya Island, which ironically is also known as Rebirth Island, and now with the state-owned Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, is unique because of the shrinking of the water of the Aral Sea, the island is effectively rejoin the mainland. Though no longer be an island, but people might think a thousand times to set foot on it! In 1948, the Soviets established a biological weapons lab here is testing some of the most dangerous disease agents known. Smallpox, anthrax and tularemia are just a few of them.
According to newly released documents, spores of anthrax and bubonic plague bacteria made into weapons and stored here. The island was abandoned in 1992. In 2000, the US helped shortly anthrax decontamination ten storage sites, and the Kazakh government said that it had been entirely. But no one dares to set foot in Vozrozhdeniya, because the container carrying the virus and bacterial diseases that are stored here ever leak.
3. Bikini Atoll
Operation Crossroads, which took place in 1946, consists of a series of nuclear detonation at Bikini Atoll, in the Marshall Islands. One such explosion is an explosion Baker (pictured above), which resulted in highly radioactive water that contaminates a variety of nearby ships which then need to be decontaminated.
Then in March 1954, the United States exploded the first hydrogen bomb at Bikini Atoll in Operation Castle Bravo - the largest nuclear explosion ever created by the US. Large radiation falls far exceeded expectations, polluting the nearby islands as well as at least one Japanese fishing boats were 23 crew contaminated. This scandal is the basis for the film Godzilla. In 1968 the US government decided that Bikini Atoll was safe to live in again, but unfortunately they speak too fast.
In 1978, French scientists discovered high levels of strontium-90 in the body of the local community, and there are many cases of miscarriage and other health problems suffered by residents of the island who live in Bikini Atoll.
Local residents thus evacuated again, and a large settlement built for their survival. Most of the refugees refuse to return to Bikini Atoll completely safe from contamination.
2. Farallon Island
Farallon Island, which lies off the coast of San Francisco, is absolutely beautiful. This is a Natural Wildlife Refuge for whales, seals and sharks, and home to many seabirds. Divers visiting to explore the area - but there are concerns, especially regarding security.
Over the years, 1946-1970, the sea in the area was used as a nuclear waste disposal site. The risk to the environment is not known for certain, but it is believed that efforts to lift containers from the waste Farallon Island and the surrounding area would actually be more dangerous than leaving them where they are now located. In all, there are 47,500 drums, each with a capacity of 55 gallons. That's a lot of hazardous waste!
1. Okunoshima
Sometimes known as Rabbit Island, Okunoshima during the years of World War II is a toxic gas plant Japan. Because confidentiality is very important - when the Japanese had just signed a treaty banning the toxic gases in the war - the Japanese remove the islands from their maps. Six kilotons of mustard gas produced here, with the rabbits used as laboratory animals.
When the war ended, the Allies rid of all toxic gases. Small children who find a guinea pig here let them loose and now the rabbits have been many times the amount. Okunoshima has been decontaminated, but who knows, there may still be remnants of gas that ally buried here who have not been revealed.
