Ever wondered where NOT to go on your holiday? Some of these places are so dangerous that they are considered to be inhabitable by humans.
Snake Island, Brazil

Sahel, North Africa
More than 10000 people have died in this area since 1972 to drought. It is unbearably hot and extremely low on resources.
The Denakil Desert, East Africa
The Denakil desert reaches temperatures of 50ºC . It is also home to volcanoes which spew toxic gas. You know, just in case it wasn’t already inhabitable enough.
Darvaza, Turkmenistan
The Darvaza gas crater is better known as “The Gates of Hell”. The natural gas field inside has been burning since 1971. If you’ve seen Silent Hill, you know it’s probably best to avoid such places…
Pripryat, Russia
Since the Chernobyl disaster, the town of Pripyat has been a ghost town. Although it is now considered safe to visit, visitors are not recommended to stay for more than 14 days due to remaining radiation.
