15 Most Dangerous Places on Earth (P3-End)
our
planet Earth has some of the most breathtaking landscapes but unlike tourist
fills cities and towns there are a few places no human should ever dare to
visit here are the 15 most dangerous places on earth
kawah Ijen Volcano Indonesia
seeing the breathtaking and mesmerizing blue lava like rivers of light might seem like a futuristic movie scene but in reality it's extremely poisonous kawah ijen lake a stunning turquoise lake sits at the peak of Kiawah ijen volcano and at night electric blue flames can be seen rolling down the mountain sides the absolutely jaw-dropping lake is full of hydrochloride acid which is more corrosive than battery acid the hydrogen chloride gas spewing from the volcano collides with sulfur containing gases and creates a powerful chemical that is unimaginably corrosive the Greek Canadian explorer George Coronas once again had the opportunity to explore one of the world's most dangerous places the adventurer took a small rubber boat out into the acid lake to measure its acidity it's just a toxic lake of sulfuric acid but they possibly go wrong the pH of the water was measured to be as low as 0.1 3 but even though this volcano and Lake are clearly dangerous and deadly to humans miners still risk their lives to collect the accumulated sulfur George had watched these miners hard at work and recalls how the only protection they had was a wet rag stuffed into their mouths sulfur dioxide gas would still leak through and dissolve away their front teeth beautiful as it may seem the kawah ijen volcano and lake is one of the most dangerous places on earth
Mount Washington New Hampshire
the United States it's a widely known fact that Mount Everest is not only the tallest mountain in the world but is also the most dangerous mountain on earth and while no other great summit can come close to the incredible height and perplexity of Mount Everest there's one other mountain in the world that holds a substantial title known as the most dangerous small mountain in the world Mount Washington in New Hampshire is any hikers worst nightmare but what exactly makes this peak so hazardous it's clearly not the height but the wind in April 1934 the highest ever wind velocity of 231 miles per hour was recorded on Mount Washington even at wind speeds of 60 miles per hour hiking becomes nearly impossible powerful blowing winds and cold weather combined to intensify hypothermia freezing temperatures that drop to negative 40 Fahrenheit and continuous heavy snowfalls make Mount Washington a truly dangerous place to visit daredevil hikers who see this mountain as a beatable obstacle do heavy research before starting their unforgettable journey meticulous calculations have to be made in order to begin the adventure with appropriate weather with over 150 recorded fatalities since 18-49 it's paramount to embark on such an adventure extremely prepared and organized .
Lake Nose Cameroon
The silent but deadly lake Norse turned out to be much more dangerous than scientists first assumed macness located in Cameroon Central Africa seemed like an innocent beautiful lake surrounded by small villages at first glance no one could expect this quiet blue and picturesque Lake to be more than just a pool of water but the narrative changed on one fateful August night in 1986 a tall fountain of water started spouting out of Lake nose the fountain soon released a white cloud of gas which grew bigger by the minute it reached 300 feet in height and spread over to the nearby villages residents soon started to lose consciousness and collapse on the ground the gas turned out to be carbon dioxide at concentrations greater than 15 percent arbon dioxide can be lethal and on that August night more than 1,700 villagers died on the spot co 2 can be kept under Lakes and surrounding rocks for decades when a volcano erupts it emits dangerously high amounts of carbon dioxide this compound has the ability to pass through rocks and slowly dissolve in the groundwater if this event takes place near a lake carbon dioxide eventually saturates the water leaving it to be extremely dangerous and hazardous while most cases have dissolved under water carbon dioxide over turn reach the surface and eventually dissolve in the atmosphere this didn't happen to Lake Nepos poisonous gas remained trapped underclothing triggered its release and resulted in over 1,700 deaths
Fraser island Australia
A fun way to spend a hot summer day is to pack your suitcase and head to the beach everyone enjoys a refreshing entertaining time at the beach swimming and tanning alongside your friends and family but one beach that's categorically forbidden is located on Fraser island just off the southeastern coast of Queensland Australia stands a beautifully mesmerizing Beach but unlike your local shores Fraser island is the Number one most dangerous beach in the world. Every aspect of the beach is unsafe and extremely hazardous from the ocean water and beach sand to the animals and water species that inhabit this land no part of Fraser island is considered to be bearable deep inside the ice-cold waters live Irukandji jellyfish and blue bottles tentacle species with powerful stinging abilities how can sand be dangerous you may ask as the sand in the lakes can't be seen enthusiastic swimmers choose to go headfirst into the water without any hint of how shallow the water truly is as far as animal inhabitants go most have heard of the infamous Australian dog species the dingoes and unlike our human companions and loyal dogs these species aren't as friendly to people as one might assume they are wild undomesticated predators that can attack anyone or anything that triggers aggression or irritation as there are thousands of beaches across the world there is no logical reason to visit fraser island without a death wish
Elephant Kingdom Thailand
the elephant kingdom located in Conjure Thailand is
thought to be the world's most terrifying tourist attraction whilst cities and towns all over the world
offer beautiful scenery and historic
castles this particular tourist attraction offers something completely
different even though the name elephant kingdom
might make you think this famous Thailand destination is stretched-out
land inhabited by elephants in reality it's something quite the opposite have you ever wanted to climb
into a metal cage and feed reptiles well the notorious elephant Kingdom offers
just that tourists from all over the
world gather in Conjure in the hopes of feeding live ten foot long crocodiles
only separated by a metal cage that has
kept afloat with plastic barrels there was little to no barrier against the
deadly reptiles tourists on board of the
metal cages often don't realize that they themselves could end up being
the crocodiles meals the small caliber rafts were often broken down and unsafe the empty plastic
barrels that held up the cage would often sink or move adding suspense to the already tense situation when a tourist
captured the now viral photo of tourists dangling food for the reptiles social
media went berserk the international
outcry forced the Thai government and local police to finally step in and take
proper measures this extremely dangerous
and over-the-top park was finally shut down in 2016 on the counts of numerous
safety hazards.
