from the cruelest place on earth to the diver’scemetery, here are 9 of the most dangerous places on earth. 9. grand canyon, arizona, usa you might not think of it as a dangerous placebecause it is a number one tourist destination. however, one wrong step and you will fallto certain death. it is a long way down... other dangers include scorching heat duringthe summer and elevations of up to 7,000 feet. rangers at the grand canyon rescue more peoplethan at any other national park, this includes

up to 300 helicopter rescues a year and nearly3,600 search and rescues. the emergency medical personnel respond to16,000 or more emergencies a year, treating people with everything from twisted anklesto heart attacks. one year, a 21-year-old was driving alongthe edge when he accidentally plummeted off the cliff. by sheer luck, a tree slowed his fall nearthe bottom. for others, the falls are intentional. the grand canyon is america’s second-highestlocation for suicide with the golden gate bridge being the highest.

be careful of hiking mistakes that can ruinyour grand canyon vacation. 8. naples, italy it’s hard to imagine naples as a dangerousplace, especially since it’s beloved by both italians and tourists alike, with itsbeautiful scenery, history, and food. however, it’s population of over 650,000might actually be in a death trap. what makes it so dangerous? the volcanoes that surround it on all sides. if just one were to erupt, it would forcethe evacuation of more than a million people

from the surrounding area. not even 2,000 years ago, one of the nearbyvolcanoes exploded, destroying the ancient cities of pompeii and herculaneum, with 50subsequent volcano eruptions since. the nearby mediterranean sea hosts a resortisland known as ischia, which is also a volcano. an eruption there would affect naples andmight even be worse than the eruption 2000 years ago. what has scientists worried right now is campiflegrei, a volcano in naples’ metro area. in december 2016, it began showing signs ofawakening and may erupt for the first time in 500 years.

so visit while you still can! 7. mount washington, new hampshire, usa mount washington, standing in at 6,288 feet(1,917 meters), is known as the most dangerous small mountain in the world. its summit holds the world record for thefastest winds on the surface of the earth. on april 12, 1934, the winds clocked in atan astounding 231 mph. this is the highest wind velocity ever recordedat any surface weather station. the strong winds, however, are not the onlyconcern in this area.

of the more than 150 fatalities since 1849,most are from hypothermia. the extreme conditions suffered by your bodycan be compared to what you would experience on the peak of mount everest. freezing temperatures can drop as low as −35degrees, which makes it only slightly warmer than the south pole, with heavy snowfalls. it snows year-round, earning mt. washington’smountain range the nickname “the white mountains”. the jet stream carries nearly every stormmoving west-to-east, and southwest-to-northeast across the country, right over mount washington. there, they intersect with weather systemsmoving south-to-north, up the atlantic coast.

not everyone heeds the warnings of localsabout the mountain. experienced outdoorswoman, kate matrosova,died on the trail in 2016 when she tried to hike it despite foreboding weather forecasts. her emergency beacon indicated she was inthree places at once, which cost rescuers valuable time as they searched. by the time they found her, she had died ofexposure. 6. danakil desert, ethiopia if you are ever in ethiopia and decide youwant to visit the danakil desert, make sure

you’ve thought about it carefully. all foreign offices will advise you to pickanother place for sight-seeing, mainly due to the inhospitable conditions and a borderconflict with eritrea, with rebels and a high risk of kidnapping. national geographic calls it the cruelestplace on earth because of its baking temperatures and wastelands of salt. temperatures often top at 120 degrees fahrenheit(50 degrees c). the danakil depression is a giant, deep basinfilled with volcanoes and rocky lava flows. it’s dramatic landscape attracts a lot ofbrave people from all over the world but visiting

without an experienced guide is strictly forbidden. 5. antarctica there are not enough people in antarcticafor lawlessness to be a problem. you aren’t going to get kidnapped or hitby a bus, by for example. the danger is natural. antarctica is home to some extreme weatherconditions, with temperatures regularly dropping below -60 degrees celsius (-100 f) and windsblasting at more than 100km/hr. if exposed to this weather for more than anhour, you will most certainly die.

two groups of people live on or visit antarctica:tourists and scientists. no one lives there indefinitely, with thelongest tour being 15 months, barring any bad weather conditions. “population” size varies but in the summer,50 people may live on the continent while, in the winter, that number drops to 15 or20. there are 66 scientific bases there but only37 are occupied year round. because of the severity of the climate andlimited number of staff, anyone who goes to work on antarctica must have their wisdomteeth and appendix removed first to avoid any medical emergencies like the one thatstruck soviet doctor, leonid rogozov in 1961.

cut off by a polar winter, acute appendicitisforced him to perform an appendectomy on himself. 4. mount everest, nepal the tallest peak on earth has been attractingmountaineers ever since sir edmund hillary and his sherpa, tenzing norgay first climbedit in 1953. since that first expedition, hundreds of peoplehave died trying to do the same and more are likely to follow; between 100-200 brave soulsattempt the climb each year. so many people have died attempting the climbthat the nepalese government has mandated that climbers must have climbed a list ofother challenging mountains to make sure they

have the experience necessary to attempt theascent. the upper reaches of the mountain are in whatclimbers call “the death zone”. the death zone is a mountaineering term foraltitudes above a certain point – around 8,000 m (26,000 ft), or less than 356 millibars(5.16 psi) of atmospheric pressure. at this height, oxygen levels are not sufficientto sustain human life. many deaths in high-altitude mountaineeringhave been caused by the effects of the death zone, either directly (loss of vital functions)or indirectly (decisions that are less than smart made under stress or physical weakness,causing accidents). the other main causes of death on mount everestare avalanches, storms, falls, and exposure.

bodies litter the mountain because it is tooexpensive to bring them down. mountaineers actually use the frozen corpsesas landmarks on their climb. one familiar landmark was “green boots”,an indian climber who died during a snowstorm on the mountain in 1996. for 20 years, if the snow depth was lightenough, climbers had to step over his outstretched legs to continue up the trail. his body has since disappeared and it’sactually against nepalese law to leave bodies exposed on the mountain, so it’s possiblegreen boots was finally retrieved and given a proper burial.

3. snake island, brazil hidden somewhere off the coast of brazil,this island is widely recognized as the most dangerous place on the planet. the reason? it is full of one of the most venomous snakesin the world, the bothrops. bothrops is the name of a genus of pit vipernative to central and south america. they are also known as “lanceheads”. they can be as small as 50–70 cm (19.5–27.5in) or as large as over 200 cm (6.6 ft).

most species are nocturnal but bothrops athigher elevations have been seen during the day. these snakes are responsible for most of thesnakebite fatalities in the americas. symptoms include immediate burning pain, dizziness,nausea, vomiting, sweating, headache, massive swelling of the bitten extremity, variouskinds of necrosis, bleeding from the nose and gums, and tachycardia. the complete list of symptoms is very longand requires a medical dictionary to understand. snake island off of brazil is infested withbothrops. researchers estimate that about five snakesper square meter live on the island.

there are several stories of people succumbingto the deadly predators in no time at all. legend goes that the last victims were a lighthousekeeper and his family who were bitten by the snakes and died. the brazilian government has prohibited anyvisitors from setting foot there. 2. sinabung volcano, sumatra, indonesiasinabung had been dormant for 400 years when it began erupting again in 2010. more than a dozen people were killed in aparticularly fierce eruption in 2014, the same year that residents were ordered to evacuate.

however, some have since returned to theirfarms. ever since 2010, eruptions occur here veryfrequently, often leaving thousands of people without shelter or livelihood. the nearby towns and villages have been completelycovered in lava and ash about once a year. the latest explosion occurred in may, 2016. that eruption ejected a deadly cloud of volcanicgas, stones, and ash to a height of 2,500 meters. indonesia, located on the pacific ring offire, is home to almost 130 active volcanoes. in august 2016, three volcanoes, includingsinabung, all erupted at the same time in

sumatra. thousands of people were evacuated, particularlyaround sinabung, which coated surrounding areas in a blanket of ash. at least 13,000 people of indonesia’s 250million have been evacuated due to volcanoes, with many of those from around sinabung. and now for number 1, if you are new here,be sure to subscribe!! 1. the blue hole of dahab on the east coast of egypt's sinai peninsula,a few miles north of the city of dahab, is

a diving and snorkeling site known as theblue hole. it is known as the deadliest diving site inthe world, and is even called “the diver’s cemetery”. despite this, or perhaps because of this,every day divers make the journey to explore this coral-lined, 394-foot-deep underwatersinkhole. recreational divers are cautioned not to gobelow 130 feet. for more experienced divers, there is an unusualfeature to draw them deeper: the arch. on the northeast side of the sink hole, 184feet below the surface, a horizontal tunnel leads to the open sea.

the arch runs for 85 feet and the passageis difficult to enter due to the darkness, poor visibility, and down currents that grabat a diver's fins. some divers miss the arch altogether and descendtoo far, risking nitrogen narcosis. one such diver was yuri lipski. in april 2000, he attempted to dive down tothe arch. he missed it and reached 300 feet before thenarcosis took his life. a diver, at the request of lipski’s parents,retrieved the body and made an unsettling discovery: lipski’s helmet camera had recordedthe whole thing. the six minute video is available on youtubeunder the title “fatal diving accident caught

on tape”. the main danger of the blue hole is that itlooks so very easy and beautiful so divers don’t take the necessary precautions, likemultiple tanks of trimix, which is a triple mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and helium, whichcombats nitrogen narcosis. lipski only had one tank. an estimated 130 people have lost their livesto the blue hole. on a cliff facing the water are plaques commemoratingonly a fraction of the victims. one of them, for james smith who died at age23, reads, “don’t let fear stand in the way of your dreams.”
