00:00
hi everyone in the harry potter universe
00:03
the wizards use apparition to move from
00:04
one place to another in a matter of
00:06
seconds
00:09
perhaps this is the ability a muggle
00:11
would envy most imagine
00:13
you spent the whole week studying or
00:14
working hard you got tired of house
00:16
chores and the weather outside leaves a
00:18
lot to be desired and when friday comes
00:20
you just need to concentrate on a
00:21
picturesque island with azure water and
00:23
pearl sand and you teleport there
00:25
in an instant yes relaxing on an island
00:27
where there is no one to bother you is a
00:29
great
00:30
dream but you need to choose the place
00:32
carefully you don't want to end up near
00:33
an active volcano or surrounded by
00:35
bloodthirsty sharks today we will tell
00:37
you about several islands that you
00:39
should
00:39
definitely stay away from whether you're
00:41
a muggle or a wizard let's get it on
00:44
[Music]
00:49
ilia de cuyamada grande this small
00:52
island
00:53
located about 35 kilometers south of the
00:55
coast of the state of sao paulo
00:57
is considered uninhabited only
00:58
researchers from the institution run by
01:00
the brazilian government are allowed to
01:02
go there
01:02
why such secrecy here's another fact for
01:04
you according to the editors of the
01:06
british edition of list verse ilya de
01:08
cuyamada grande is a more dangerous
01:10
place
01:11
than chernobyl the reason is that this
01:13
island is home to the entire world
01:15
population of the golden land's head one
01:17
of the most venomous snakes on earth
01:20
[Applause]
01:21
a total of 2 000 reptiles live on 43
01:24
hectares of area it doesn't seem like a
01:26
lot but believe us
01:27
it is in addition there are no beaches
01:30
on the island only rocky slopes
01:31
it's almost impossible to dock a boat
01:33
here let alone safely get out of it the
01:35
bite of the golden lance head kills a
01:37
mouse in two seconds
01:38
about two hours is needed to kill a
01:40
human being if the antidote is not
01:42
administered in time a person dies due
01:44
to organ failure and
01:46
internal bleeding the chance of
01:47
surviving without an antidote according
01:49
to some reports
01:50
does not exceed 20 to 30 percent but how
01:52
come there are so many reptiles on the
01:54
island and not a single one outside of
01:55
it the reason is a geological era the
01:57
pleistocene
01:58
back then ilia de cuayamata grande was
02:01
isolated from the mainland and the ocean
02:03
by a huge glacier the golden lancehead
02:05
was trapped in an area where it could
02:07
only prey on migratory birds the snake
02:09
had to learn to climb trees and over
02:11
time its venom became so lethal it could
02:13
kill the victim before it flew away
02:16
bikini and an awatak have you ever
02:18
wondered where and how the very first
02:20
nuclear weapons tests were carried out
02:22
not including hiroshima and nagasaki of
02:24
course these tests are nothing like the
02:26
ordinary mines tests which can be easily
02:29
staged at a landfill far away from
02:31
settlements
02:31
nuclear explosions have a bunch of
02:33
peculiarities and consequences
02:35
now we'll tell you about them
02:47
there are two places where the american
02:49
military conducted more than 50 nuclear
02:51
tests in the middle of the last century
02:53
they are located in the marshall islands
02:55
a republic that is today
02:57
considered an associated stage of the
02:59
united states this republic is mostly
03:01
spread on the atolls ring-shaped coral
03:03
reefs that encirculate a lagoon
03:04
partially or completely two atolls
03:06
bikini and an aoe attack became not only
03:09
the main nuclear test sites but also a
03:11
dump for radioactive waste for the
03:12
american army in the period from 1946 to
03:15
1958. it all started with bikini atoll
03:18
in the spring of 1946
03:20
locals were moved to another area and
03:22
active military tests began the military
03:24
not only dropped bombs on the old ships
03:26
in the ocean but also practiced
03:28
underwater explosions of nuclear
03:30
installations needless to say a
03:32
lot of radioactive ash fell on the
03:34
surrounding sea since the early 70s when
03:36
the tests have already ended
03:37
several people have tried to return here
03:39
however of them many of them
03:41
fell ill or left immediately so there is
03:43
no permanent population there
03:45
today the atoll is home to no more than
03:47
half a dozen inhabitants and the
03:48
radiation level there is still a
03:50
thousand times higher than in chernobyl
03:52
fishing is prohibited in that region
03:53
which has resulted in
03:55
incredibly large shark populations near
03:57
the atoll test in an ao attack which
03:59
lies 350 kilometers west of bikini
04:01
started a little later but there were
04:03
twice as many of them in addition the
04:05
military installed a concrete nuclear
04:07
coffin here to store radioactive soil
04:09
and debris the project cost 218 million
04:12
today more than 600 people live on the
04:14
island but the environmental safety of
04:16
the region is constantly questioned by
04:18
both
04:19
international organizations and the
04:20
departments of the united states there
04:22
is a theory that says radiation from a
04:24
nuclear coffin is leaking into the ocean
04:26
and there is a possibility it could be
04:28
flooded
04:28
or broken gruinard of course
04:32
not only the americans were testing
04:33
dangerous weapons in the middle of the
04:35
last century
04:40
near the coast of northern scotland
04:42
there's also a contaminated island it is
04:44
called growing art and you can get to it
04:46
by boat in just about 10 minutes but not
04:48
a single person in their right mind
04:50
would go there
04:51
in 1942 the british conducted
04:53
large-scale biological weapons tests
04:55
here 80
04:56
sheep were brought to the island and
04:57
then bombs with spores of extremely
04:59
poisonous anthrax bacteria were dropped
05:01
on them
05:08
the effect was quick all animals died
05:10
within three days for obvious reasons
05:12
the island was immediately declared a
05:14
forbidden zone and until the mid-80s
05:16
no one dared go there starting in 1986 a
05:19
determined effort was made to
05:20
decontaminate the island and four years
05:22
later it was open to visitors and sheep
05:24
were brought to grew in art again
05:26
however some scientists argue that
05:28
anthrax spores are very difficult to
05:30
eradicate and this means that some of
05:32
them still remained on the island
05:33
in addition when cleaning the island a
05:35
huge amount of formaldehyde was used
05:37
which is
05:38
also detrimental for human health
05:40
farallon islands
05:42
not far from san francisco there are
05:44
dangerous lands
05:45
nicknamed the islands of the dead by the
05:47
local indians but while the indigenous
05:49
peoples of north america did not go
05:51
there because of religious beliefs today
05:53
there's another reason to avoid this
05:55
place in the last century the farallon
05:56
islands were used by the authorities as
05:58
a radioactive garbage dump from 1946 to
06:01
1970 almost 50 tons of nuclear waste was
06:04
dumped into the adjacent waters the
06:06
exact location and radioactivity level
06:08
of the burials is not known
06:10
the fact is no one took care of the
06:12
issue because the disposal of
06:13
radioactive waste can pose an even
06:15
greater risk than ignoring it
06:17
so the islands are close to the public
06:18
only researchers with a special pass can
06:20
visit them
06:21
however over the decades the ecosystem
06:23
of the farallon islands began to slowly
06:25
recover
06:26
for example by the end of the last
06:27
century elephant seals and sea lions
06:30
emerged here again
06:31
today there are thousands of them here
06:32
and every year the number of animals
06:34
only grows
06:35
this attracted large numbers of killer
06:36
whales and most importantly
06:38
great white sharks that hunt seals in
06:40
the nearby waters that is yet another
06:42
reason why these islands pose a great
06:44
danger to humans
06:45
ramree island war is a time for a lot of
06:49
terrible heartbreaking and heroic acts
06:51
that are later passed on to young
06:52
generations
06:56
they are usually all somewhat similar
06:58
but you have definitely never heard a
06:59
story like this one
07:00
and yes you will hardly want to visit
07:02
this picturesque island in southeast
07:04
asia after hearing it
07:05
it happened at the end of world war ii
07:07
in the midst of the burma campaign
07:08
there the fierce fighting between
07:10
british and japanese troops took place
07:12
on february 19 1945 the historic battle
07:15
of ramree island was fought it went down
07:17
in history not because of the heroism of
07:19
the soldiers but rather because of the
07:21
luck and ingenuity of the british army
07:23
the japanese were lured into the
07:24
mangrove swamps by the marines
07:26
so what you might ask the problem was
07:28
that they were home to thousands of huge
07:30
saltwater crocodiles the most ferocious
07:33
of their kind
07:34
in the end the british did not even have
07:35
to do anything the predators did all the
07:37
dirty work for them
07:39
in one fell swoop destroying a thousand
07:41
soldiers only 25 people survived most of
07:44
whom were captured later it turned out
07:45
that the whole operation was designed by
07:47
the battalion commander so it definitely
07:49
was no accident he had thought through
07:51
all the details in advance knowing that
07:53
the uniforms of his soldiers were not
07:55
designed to pass through the swamps
07:56
ramree has the distinct
07:58
honor of being host to the greatest
07:59
disaster suffered by humans due to
08:01
animals in the guinness book of world
08:03
records
08:04
reunion island until recently the french
08:07
reunion island
08:08
located in the indian ocean was a
08:10
favorite destination for surfers and
08:12
divers
08:12
it's not surprising you can see
08:14
fantastic reefs with parrotfishes sea
08:16
urchins dolphins and turtles on its
08:18
coast
08:18
well and in addition to all this
08:20
paradise also dangerous predators
08:22
different types of sharks to be exact
08:24
from 2010 to 2017
08:25
23 attacks by this marine predator on
08:28
humans were recorded in the coastal
08:29
waters of reunion
08:33
nine of them were lethal that's why in
08:35
2013 the island's mayor had no choice
08:37
but to ban swimming
08:38
surfing and bodyboarding along more than
08:40
half of its coast some of the fish had
08:42
to be trapped and even slaughtered
08:44
however such measures cannot completely
08:46
eliminate the risks of shark attacks
08:48
hawaii can you imagine a more relaxed
08:51
place than hawaii the soft sound of
08:53
ukuleles comfortable shirts
08:55
boas and a straw sticking out of a fresh
08:57
coconut that is probably what paradise
08:59
looks like
08:59
turns out there are deadly places here
09:01
too did you know that there are several
09:03
so-called shield volcanoes located in
09:05
hawaii they're not as high as usual
09:07
volcanoes and sometimes almost flat they
09:09
can also erupt for decades and the lava
09:11
flowing from the crater can spread over
09:13
very long distances
09:18
one of these volcanoes kilua is also one
09:20
of the most active ones on
09:22
earth it has been erupting since 1983
09:24
but of course
09:25
not always at the same speed and in the
09:26
same direction in 2014 for example the
09:29
lava suddenly began to approach the city
09:31
of pahoa threatening the lives of
09:32
hundreds of people
09:33
back then the mass with a temperature of
09:35
almost 1000 degrees celsius was moving
09:37
at a speed of 10 to 15 meters per hour
09:40
as a result some residents of the city
09:42
had to be urgently evacuated
09:44
stromboli does this word mean anything
09:47
to you
09:47
you got to admit it sounds like some
09:49
kind of fine italian dessert well the
09:51
word is italian indeed but it means
09:53
something much less pleasant than a
09:55
sweet treat it's the name of a volcanic
09:57
island that is part of the labari
09:58
islands and the tiranian sea over the
10:00
last 20 years it has been experiencing
10:02
one continuous eruption
10:04
sometimes it enters an active phase and
10:06
then explosions and sometimes masses of
10:08
hot lava can be observed from different
10:10
points of the island and the surrounding
10:11
sea
10:12
such a site of course attracts a lot of
10:14
curious tourists but believe it or not
10:15
about 400 people are living on the
10:17
island now
10:18
fearless people indeed hold on a second
10:21
do you want to see some crazy stories
10:23
from real life
10:24
nothing dull only action only adventures
10:27
chases and fights love confessions and
10:30
