Snake Island


Creepy stuff over at National Geographic (I'm mixed on my opinion of NG. I think they do some good stuff, but I know I've read some questionable things about some of their reports in the past, plus seen an example of bad photoshopping they did with an image, but I'm getting off topic...)

Snake Island, or the small Brazilian island of Queimada Grande, is a freakish island uninhabited by humans, but instead populated by venomous golden lancehead vipers. Per NG's statistics "there’s one golden lancehead here per square meter (1.2 square yards)". So you can't step somewhere without stepping on one.

This is an island I'll avoid.
