bodies the Explorer soon started to feel dizzy and decided to flee the area as rumors of the mysterious land spread many tried to finally solve the puzzle and come back with proper answers just like animals around 80 human lives were taken by the supernatural valley scientists have deduced that the lethality of the land is due to high concentrations of poisonous gases that arise from the volcano

this mountain is home to the biggest crystals in the world as hot magma lurks below the cave this Mexican destination is a heat stroke accident waiting to happen the three scientists sent for an impossible mission had different goals in mind their main objective was to collect the crystal samples and to later observe them there are these crystals the size of redwood trees you stand there with your mouth wide open said Chris McKay a planetary scientist exciting and life-changing as this adventure might have been one must remember that as soon as a person walks into the cave their body

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

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

embark on such an adventure extremely prepared and organized number three 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 carbon dioxide can be lethal and on that August night more than 1,700 villagers died on the spot co2 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 Neos poisonous gas remained trapped until something triggered its release and resulted in over 1,700 deaths number two 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

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 number one elephant kingdom thailand the elephant kingdom located in Chonburi 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

reptiles well the notorious elephant Kingdom offers just that tourists from all over the world gather in Chonburi 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 calibre 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
