Thanks to the developed transport system, you can be anywhere in the world in a matter of hours. For people there are no longer such barriers as distance, speed and time. No need to spend months and superhuman efforts on travel!
But not all corners of our planet are accessible to visit. Some objects are closed, which further fuels interest in them. In this list you will find ten places on earth that are prohibited from visiting!
10 Snake Island, Brazil
On the island of Queimada Grande in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean there are no residential buildings, shops or schools. From a distance it looks more like paradise - lots of greenery, beautiful beaches and a warm ocean. However, there are no people willing to visit this place, because it is impossible to get out of here alive. The island is literally teeming with some of the most dangerous species of snakes - per 1 sq. m. there are from one to five individuals of the island bothrops and other poisonous snakes, which has enough poison for several people. The Brazilian authorities prohibit entry to the island, but sometimes they take you on a boat with a guide to watch the snakes from a safe distance.
9 Vatican Secret Archives, Vatican City
Legends have been circulating around the Vatican Secret Archives for many centuries. The popes began collecting documents in the Middle Ages, but the archive was officially opened in 1610. It is a private collection of literature and is closed to visitors; only scientists can obtain permission to visit this place. The archive consists of 85 kilometers of shelves and contains unique documents, for example, a letter from King Henry VIII of England asking for a divorce.
8 Lascaux Caves, France
The unique Lascaux in France is known throughout the world as a monument of art. It preserves rock and engraved paintings that date back to the 18th-15th millennia BC. The cave was found by chance by four children in 1940, and in 1948 it was opened to tourists. However, the large influx of people jeopardized the safety of the images, so access to Lascaux was closed. Researchers are still correcting problems that have arisen due to 15 years of tourism in the cave.
7 Area 51, USA
This US military base in southern Nevada is completely closed to the public. Even air traffic over the territory of the base is strictly prohibited. For a long time, the US government denied the existence of Area 51, but in 2013, part of the data was declassified. In appearance, the territory of the base is very boring - hangars and dry lakes. According to rumors, the entire base is located underground, where various experiments are carried out. Officially, experimental aircraft and weapons are being developed there, but conspiracy theorists believe that Area 51 is a UFO research base.
6 Tomb of Qin Shi Huang, China
The famous Terracotta Army of Emperor Qin Shi Huang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was built in the 200s BC by order of the emperor to accompany him after death to the other world. Tourists can see 8,100 clay warriors and horses with their own eyes, but the entrance to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang itself is closed. Researchers have not yet reached the site of the tomb of the emperor, who would be obsessed with gaining immortality.
5 North Sentinel Island, India
Little is known about this island in the Bay of Bengal - only its area is 72 sq. km. Officially, the island belongs to India, but no one living outside its borders has ever set foot on its soil. The fact is that the island is inhabited by the Sentinelese civilization, who reject any contact with the outside world. They are very aggressive; upon any attempt to approach the island, they begin to throw spears and shoot with arrows. Due to their solitude, they still have not even learned how to make fire and store the coals using a complex system. Currently, between 50 and 500 people live there.
4 Poveglia, Italy
This is considered one of the creepiest places on the planet. It is located in northern Italy, among the islands of the Venetian Lagoon. According to legends, plague sufferers have lived in exile on this island since Roman times. Allegedly, over many centuries, 160 thousand infected people were buried here, and all of them turned into ghosts. In addition, from 1922 to 1968 there was a psychiatric hospital on Poveglia. According to rumors, experiments on patients were carried out there, which added a terrible mystery to this place. True, the Italian government plans to rent out the island and rebuild the hospital building into a hotel.
3 World Seed Vault, Svalbard, Norway
This place is prohibited to visit, as it is a unique seed storage bank. The storage tunnel is located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen at a depth of approximately 120-130 meters. It contains 4.5 million different seeds in case of any cataclysm - global warming, nuclear war or an asteroid fall. Only scientists have access to the seed storage; however, tourists will not be too interested there.
2 Storage World of Coca-Cola Museum, USA
The Coca-Cola recipe has been kept a closely guarded secret for many years - the company takes maintaining this secret very seriously in the future. According to rumors, its composition is known only to company executives, who do not even fly on the same plane to avoid data loss in the event of a plane crash. Until 2011, the unique recipe was kept in a SunTrust can, and then was moved to the World of Coca-Cola Museum. The museum itself is open to visitors, but access to the storage facility itself is, of course, closed. Meanwhile, publications regularly appear on the Internet with recipes for the drink, which are supposedly as close as possible to the original.
1 Moscow Metro-2, Russia
In addition to the huge network of the Moscow metro, there is another line, which received the code name Metro-2. According to scattered data, the secret underground network was built under Joseph Stalin, who was afraid of an assassination attempt and prepared a backup plan for the evacuation of the government. The report of the US Department of Defense, which indicated the Metro-2 scheme, caused a lot of noise. Several senior Russian government officials, such as Vladimir Shevchenko, have confirmed the existence of a backup line. However, according to the latest data, this network is currently abandoned and does not function.
These places are inaccessible to ordinary people, despite the increased interest in them. You can only enjoy the descriptions online and the rare photographs taken by the lucky ones!
Ordinary people most often choose popular tourist routes and destinations for vacation, such as Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus, the Caribbean, the Alps, etc. More “advanced” tourists do not follow the beaten path and try to choose something unique, say, tours to Antarctica or the Arctic. But no matter how much money you have, no matter how much you want, you will never, ever get into these places where tourists are strictly prohibited from entering.
1. SURTSEI ISLAND
Reason for ban: scientific experiments
In 1963, a local volcano erupted in Iceland, resulting in the formation of a new island with an area of 2.7 square kilometers. This immediately aroused the interest of scientists from different countries, as it became an outstanding example of new education and the emergence of new life. Since then, the island of Surtsey (named after the mythological character Surt) can only be visited for scientific purposes, and is a restricted area for all tourists.
2. QUEIMADA GRANDE ISLAND
Reason for ban: too many poisonous snakes
The island of Queimada Grande, located 35 km off the coast of Brazil, looks like a real paradise. However, a trip to this island will cost you your life, as it is simply infested with poisonous snakes: there are approximately 4,000 snakes in an area of 0.43 square kilometers. One of the most dangerous snakes in the world lives here - the island bothrops (Bothrops insularis), the bite of which causes rapid tissue necrosis, that is, death is almost instantaneous. Its venom is five times stronger than that of other vipers. For this reason, Brazilian authorities have imposed a ban on visiting the island of Queimada Grande, also called the island of snakes.
3. NORTH SENTINEL ISLAND
Reason for ban: unfriendly natives
North Sentinel Island is one of the Andaman Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Although officially administered by India, the island is home to the dangerous Sentinelese aborigines, who avoid all contact with civilization and fiercely resist any invasion. According to scientists, these natives spent 60,000 years isolated from the rest of human civilization. These people actively defend their territory. For example, in 2004, after the Indian Ocean Tsunami, the Indian government sent a helicopter to find out if local residents needed help, but the flying helicopter was met with arrows from local residents, who clearly wanted to drive it away. Their latest victims were lost fishermen. Following their killings, Indian authorities urged citizens to stay away from the Sentinelese and their land.
4. ISE TEMPLE, JAPAN
Reason for ban: only for the chosen ones
The most important shrine in Japan is Ise Jingu Shrine. The main temple is surrounded by a high wooden fence. Only high-ranking priests and members of the imperial family are allowed inside. Until 1945, Ise Shrine was even more difficult to get to: it was separated from the outside world by the Miyagawa River, which symbolized the border between ordinary and sacred land. Monks were strictly forbidden to cross this river: it was believed that this would violate the sanctity of the sanctuary and cause problems for all of Japan.
No matter how curious a traveler you are, you will not be allowed there.
In this issue you will find a list of ten places to which access to ordinary tourists is prohibited. Located in different parts of the world and closed to the public for a variety of reasons, these places range from ominous islands to mythical underground communications, but they all share an atmosphere of mystery that shrouds them.

1. Lascaux Caves
The cave complex in southwest France is famous for its Paleolithic rock art. The age of these drawings is 17,300 years. They consist mainly of images of large animals, most of which lived in the area during the Paleolithic.
No matter how curious a traveler you are, you will not be allowed there. The caves have been closed to the public since 1963 due to the threat of unexplained, and only partially controlled, fungal invasions in recent years. Any human presence in caves is considered potentially destructive. As a rule, one guard comes there once a week for a few minutes.
2. Poveglia Island
A small island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon in northern Italy. For centuries, Poveglia was a refuge, a place of exile, and a dumping ground for the sick and dead.
In 1348, the bubonic plague struck Venice, and like many other small islands, Poveglia became a quarantine colony. Fearing the rampant spread of the disease, Venice exiled many citizens with symptoms of the disease. In the center of the island, the dead and dying were burned on giant pyres. These fires started again in 1630 as the Black Death swept through the city again.
In the 20th century the island was used again as a quarantine station, but in 1922 the existing buildings were converted into mental hospitals. This continued until 1968, when the hospital was closed and the island became uninhabited again. The island is famous for legends about ghosts - victims of the plague, as well as a crazy doctor in a psychiatric hospital who allegedly tortured patients.
Today the island is closed to locals and tourists. In recent years, Italian construction teams have attempted to restore the former hospital building, but have suddenly stopped, without any reason.
3. Vatican Secret Archives
The Secret Archives, located in the Vatican, are the central repository for all actions declared by the Holy See. The entrance to the Archives building is adjacent to the Vatican Library from St. Peter's Market Square. The archives also contain government papers, correspondence, papal ledgers and many other documents that the church has accumulated over the centuries. In the 17th century, under the orders of Pope Paul V, the secret archives were separated from the Vatican Library, where scholars had very limited access, and remained completely closed to outsiders until 1881, when Pope Leo XIII opened them to researchers.
The use of the word "secret" in the title "Vatican Secret Archives" does not indicate the modern meaning of confidentiality. Its meaning is closer to the word "private", indicating that the archives are the personal property of the Pope and do not belong to any special department of the Roman Curia or the Holy See.
In other words, you can look at any document you want, because the archives are not secret, despite their name. However, you will not be able to enter the archive. You must apply for a document and they will provide it to you.
The only documents you will not have access to are those that are under 75 years of age (to protect government and diplomatic information).
4. Shrine of Our Lady Mary of Zion
The Shrine of Our Lady Mary of Zion is located in Ethiopia. They won't let you in because the church is said to contain one of the most important biblical objects, the original Ark of the Covenant, which is believed to have come to Ethiopia with Menelik I after he visited his father King Solomon.
Due to the sanctity and relevance of the ark, only a specially chosen monk has the privilege of entering the temple, and no one else is allowed to even approach.
5. Jiangsu National Security Education Museum
The Jiangsu National Security Education Museum in China is home to top secret documents about the history of Chinese espionage. There is a range of documents and devices dating from 1927, when the spy department of the Communist Party Central Committee was founded, to 1980. There is also a collection of tiny pistols, weapons disguised as lipstick, miniature cameras, hidden listening devices and other spy paraphernalia.
If you are not a Chinese citizen, then your way there is closed, due to the fact that the Chinese do not want information about espionage to be exposed to foreigners. But photography there is prohibited for everyone, even citizens of the republic.
6. Exotic Hawaiian Islands of Niihau
Niihau is the seventh largest island among the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. This island has no paved roads. There are no shops, no restaurants, no electricity, no running water. Niihau Island has the only school in Hawaii, and perhaps the only one in the country, that relies entirely on solar energy to convert it into electricity.
Elizabeth Sinclair purchased Niihau in 1864 from the Kingdom of Hawaii and passed it on to her descendants, the Robinson family. In 1915, Sinclair's grandson, Aubrey Robinson, closed the island to most visitors in order to preserve its indigenous culture and wildlife. Even relatives of residents could visit Niihau only with special permission.
Today, the island is generally off-limits to everyone except relatives of the island's owners, local residents, American naval personnel, government officials and invited guests. There are very rare helicopter tours to the island, so you can wander along one of the beaches, but infiltrating the locals is strictly prohibited. Thus Niihau received the nickname "Forbidden Island".
7. Pine Gap
Pine Gap is the name of the area designated for the satellite tracking station. It is located approximately 18 km southwest of Alice Springs in central Australia, and is administered by Australia and the United States.
This is a large computer complex with 14 radar radomes protecting the antennas. The station employs more than 800 employees.
The location is strategically significant because it controls America's spy satellites, which are located over a third of the world, including China, regions of Russia, and the oil fields of the Middle East. Central Australia was chosen because it is too remote for spy ships sailing in international waters to intercept the signal. Of course, you won't be allowed into Pine Gap.
8. Negev Nuclear Research Center
The Negev Nuclear Research Center is an Israeli nuclear facility located in the Negev Desert, approximately thirteen kilometers southeast of the city of Dimona, Israel.
Its construction began in 1958 with French assistance, according to the Sèvres Protocol. The object information remains very classified. But in 1986, Mordechai Vanunu, a former technician, fled to the United Kingdom and showed the media some evidence of Israel's nuclear program and explained the purpose of each building, also showing the top-secret underground structure underneath the facility.
In January 2012, media reports indicated that the Israel Atomic Energy Commission had decided, at least temporarily, to close the research center's reactor, considering the site vulnerable. In October and November 2012, it was reported that Hamac launched missiles into the Negev, but the site was not damaged.
Of course, the airspace along it is closed to all aircraft. Necessary measures are also taken to prevent unauthorized entry, thus the area around the facility is strictly guarded.
9. Ise Grand Shrine
The holiest and most important Temple in Japan. It consists of two main shrines and approximately 125 additional shrines.
The shrine is one of the holiest and most important sites in Shinto. Access there is strictly limited; the only person who can enter is the priest or priestess, who must be a member of the Japanese imperial family. The general public is allowed to see little more than the thatched roofs of the central structures, which are hidden behind four high wooden fences.
10. Metro-2
Alleged secret underground metro system in Russia. The system was supposedly built, or at least started, during the time of Joseph Stalin, and was codenamed D-6 by the KGB. Presumably Metro-2 is still managed by the General Directorate of Special Programs and the Ministry of Defense.
The length of Metro 2 is rumored to be longer than the public metro. It supposedly has four lines that run 50-200 m underground. The metro connects the Kremlin with the main office of the FSB, the Vnukovo-2 government airport, the Ramenki district and other places of national importance.
In 1994, the leader of a city digger group claimed to have found the entrance to this underground system. Unfortunately, all available information is speculative and is not confirmed by video documents or photographs. But there are also people who say they helped build Metro-2, and urban speleologists claim to have “seen” Metro-2, but there is no clear evidence. But even if Metro-2 exists, they won’t let you in there either.
The Vatican archives are classified only from the point of penetration into the vaults themselves. At the same time, anyone can obtain any document from the Vatican archives and read it. Despite the scandalous description of the Vatican archives in Dan Brown’s novel “Angels and Demons,” the real situation with the documents stored in the archive completely contradicts literary fabrications: all documents are absolutely accessible. For those wishing to gain access to information stored in the Vatican archives, there is a special catalog of all documents. It is believed that the archive building contains almost 35 thousand documents. And for their storage, racks with a total length of more than 80 km are used.
Area 51 is an alias for a military base located in southern Nevada in the western United States, 133 km from the city of Las Vegas. Located on the southern shore of Groom Lake, there is a hidden large military airfield. The primary purpose is a base to support the development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. The intense secrecy surrounding the base, whose very existence the US government has difficulty admitting, has made it a frequent subject of conspiracy theories and a central base for UFO research.
RAF Menwith Hill is a British military base that has links to the global spy network Echelon. It contains an extensive satellite ground station, interception communications, missile warning system and is called the largest electronic monitoring station in the world. The Echelon network was created to monitor the military and diplomatic activities of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc allies during the Cold War in the early 1960s, but has remained active since the end of the Cold War, providing surveillance of hints of terrorist plots, political and diplomatic intelligence. It has also taken part in reports on commercial espionage and is believed to filter all telephone calls and radio communications in many countries around the world.
A normal person would have no desire to enter the secret corridors of the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center in the United States: founded during the Cold War era in the fifties, it continues to function today as an emergency response center for disasters and natural disasters. Today, the Center is managed by the US Federal Emergency Management Agency and in the event of any disaster, even a local one, most telecommunications are carried out through the Center. In the event of a global catastrophe, the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center will serve as an evacuation site for Washington politicians.
White's is Britain's most exclusive men's club, founded in 1693 by Italian Francesco Bianco. The founder’s surname translates as “White”, in honor of which the closed club received its name. White's is best known for its 'betting book', in which club members place the oddest bets - such as a £3,000 bet on which of two raindrops will be the first to reach the edge of a window pane. It is extremely difficult to become a member of White's Club. First of all, no woman will ever break into White's. Secondly, a man can only enter the club upon the invitation of a respected member of White’s, which will be supported by two more. By and large, only a member of the royal family or a representative of politics or the art world who enjoys enormous authority can receive an invitation to the club.
Mezhgorye is a closed city in the Republic of Bashkortostan, located at the foot of Mount Yamantau and founded in 1979. The highest mountain of the Southern Urals, Yamantau reaches 1640 meters and, along with Kosvinsky Kamen, a mountain range of the Northern Urals, is considered the place where secret underground bunkers and nuclear laboratories are located. In the late nineties, after the collapse of the Soviet Union and during the period of pro-Western policies of Boris Yeltsin, large-scale excavations in the Yamantau region were photographed by American satellite. Later, two closed settlements were built on this site, Beloretsk-15 and Beloretsk-16, which later formed Mezhgorye. There are all sorts of rumors about what Mizhgorye actually is, from a bunker for political leaders in case of nuclear war to a repository for treasures of the Russian Empire.
Moscow Metro-2
The system was supposedly built during Stalin's time and was codenamed D-6 by the KGB. The FSB of Russia, as well as the administration of the Moscow Metro, neither confirms nor denies the existence of Metro-2. According to rumors, the length of Metro-2 even exceeds the public metro. The line connects the Kremlin, the headquarters of the FSB, Vnukovo-2 airport, the underground city in Ramenki, as well as other places of national importance. 
Ise Grand Shrine -
The Great Temple of Japan (which is actually a series of over 100 shrines) is the largest shrine in Japan. She is dedicated to Amaterasu (Sun Goddess). The temple is destroyed and rebuilt every 20 years according to the Shinto idea of death and rebirth (the next restoration will be in 2013). This is very high on the list of places that you will never go to because the only person who can go there is a priest or priest, and he must be a member of the Japanese imperial family. So, unless you are a Japanese prince or princess, then no one will ever see anything other than the thatched roof of this shrine 
Mountains Emergency Operations Center
This is a place that is not only closed to the public, but it is a place that the public will not want to go to at all, unless there is a worldwide catastrophe. The highly classified and closed facility is the center for coordinating the government's Federal Emergency Management Agency in the event of any national or even worldwide disaster. It is part of the US strategic nuclear forces management system. It has very serious closed communication systems, including closed channels of direct communication with the White House. The facility is located in the mountains at a depth of about 2,000 feet and is staffed by more than 200 employees, mostly military personnel. 
Regardless of social status or financial status, there are places in the world that even the rich, famous and successful cannot go.
In contact with
Classmates
Because they are not members of a particular society, because of security concerns, or because they do not possess a particular set of skills and knowledge.
How does a person feel when someone comes up to him and, apologizing, informs him that entry is prohibited? He gets angry or upset, trying to understand why he, a free person, cannot enter somewhere on planet Earth. Everyone wants to be treated equally, and does not want to find themselves in situations where they are denied something.
15. The basement where the secret of Coca-Cola recipes is kept - Georgia, USA
The basement where the secret of Coca-Cola recipes is kept
For more than 100 years, the Coca Cola company has been one of the world leaders in the soft drink market. And it seems that nothing will change for her in the future, since she has carefully kept her secret recipes for 125 years.
She keeps her secrets in one of the well-equipped and carefully guarded basements in Atlanta. Although the entrance to the “holy of holies” is available for tours, this does not mean that the secrets are available to the public.
14. World Seed Vault on Spitsbergen - Norway
Global Seed Vault in Svalbard
The World Seed Vault on Spitsbergen is a kind of Noah's Ark. But for seeds. It was built so that humanity could survive a catastrophe that would threaten various cultures.
This storage ensures that we can restore the crops if something extraordinary happens. You won't be able to get into the vault, but you can take a virtual tour.
13. Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center - Virginia, USA
Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center
The Mount Weather Center is one of the most secure facilities on Earth, as it plays an important role in emergencies that may occur on the planet, especially regarding high-ranking government officials.
In September 2011, politician Dick Cheney was brought to this center to ensure maximum security during the terrorist attacks in New York.
The center was founded during the Cold War and is located just a short flight from Washington. This is an above-ground and underground structure with its own fire and police units, its own laws apply, and no one can even get close, because everything is carefully guarded.
Prohibited area of the Woomera test site
Entry into the territory of the largest test site on Earth, Woomera, is strictly prohibited, as it is a military facility. If someone does enter the facility without permission, he will put his life in danger, since the security system will perceive him as an enemy.
The test site is of great strategic importance for the Australian military, where they test various types of weapons. In addition, the site contains mineral deposits that will be able to provide the state financially in the future.
11. Yavari Reservation - Brazil
Yavari Reservation
The Yavari reservation is an area in the Amazon jungle where indigenous tribes have lived in isolation for many hundreds of years. The zone is so deep into the jungle that they were discovered only thanks to successful satellite images, which showed some human activity.
When specialists managed to get to these places, they saw well-groomed fields with crops. In order to ensure the safety of these tribes, the authorities decided to prohibit free entry into the territory, whose area is more than 77,000 km2.
10. Area 51 - Nevada, USA
Zone 51
Area 51 is directly related to the problem of the existence of aliens. For years, the government has carefully denied the existence of this military base, and despite declassifying some information, it continues to deny it.
This is especially true for research related to alien activities and life forms. On the way to the base, you can see many signs prohibiting forward movement, and you will have to follow them, since the object is under heavy security.
9. North Sentinel Island - Andaman Islands, Bay of Bengal
North Sentinel Island
North Sentinel Island is one of the most beautiful in the Indian Ocean, but no one can get there. Most of these islands are covered with impenetrable forests, although they have magnificent beaches.
The only problem is that the locals don’t want the presence of strangers, they might even kill you. Local residents reject any contact with civilization. The people there are so primitive that they throw arrows and fire at flying helicopters.
The Indian government respects the rights of the local population and protects their integrity, if only because contact with the natives can be dangerous.
8. Disney Club 33 – New Orleans, USA
Disney Club 33
Club 33 is considered a secret society at Disneyland whose existence is known only to its members. It was founded by Walt Disney in 1967 as a secret society whose members included investors, politicians and celebrities who came to Disneyland.
It is difficult to find this club as there are no signs. Even if you somehow find out its location, you won’t be able to get there if you don’t have a personal invitation.
Another thing that really holds a lot of people back is the $25,000 membership fee, $10,000 annual dues, and a 14-year waiting list.
7. White's Gentlemen's Club - England
White's Gentlemen's Club
White's Gentlemen's Club is the most secret society in England, although everyone has known about its existence for 320 years. It is open only to the male elite; women and ordinary people are prohibited from joining the club.
The only member of the club who managed to terminate his membership in the club was the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, because he realized that his views were fundamentally contrary to the views of the club members.
Although this is a gentlemen's club, they can often be seen in the casino and dead drunk. Getting into the club is as difficult as receiving a knighthood from the Queen.
6. Number 39 - Pyongyang, North Korea
Number 39
Almost every government in the world has been involved in "dirty deals" or secret organizations that they do not want to talk about. The North Korean government is associated with the activities of the secret organization Number 39 (Bureau 39, Division 39).
Various sources claim illegal affairs of the government and this organization related to drug trafficking and financial fraud.
The money received from this cooperation goes to the development of nuclear weapons and to the luxurious life of the country's leaders.
5. Mezhgorye – Bashkortostan, Russia
Mizhgorye
This city in Russia is considered the most special. Mizhhirya is a closed city, but people who work in secret enterprises live in it.
NATO believes that the city's residents are involved in the production of nuclear weapons. It was founded during the Cold War and is still in operation. You will not be able to enter it without special permission.
4. Surtsey - Iceland
Surtsey
Surtsey is an island that appeared on February 14, 1963 as a result of volcanic activity in the sea off the coast of Iceland. The volcano on the seabed continued to erupt lava and in 3.5 years an island with an area of 1.4 km2 was formed, but the waves methodically help reduce its area due to erosion processes.
It seems that this is a great place for organizing scientific expeditions that can study the flora and fauna, but this is not the case, since nature itself prevents people from appearing on the island.
3. Pine Gap - Australia
Pine Gap is a top-secret Australian military base, so the general public knows little about its activities. Rumor has it that unmanned aerial vehicles are being tested there.
The base was founded in 1970, and the Australian government doesn't like to talk about it. It houses radar installations that monitor signals from space, including spy satellites. Entry into the base territory is strictly prohibited.
2. Pripyat - Ukraine
Pripyat
Ukraine is one of many states that uses nuclear fuel for peaceful purposes, but Chernobyl showed the whole world that the atom poses a terrible threat to all life on the planet.
Pripyat was a modern, prosperous city until the day when an accident occurred at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Today it is not possible to live in Pripyat due to the high level of radiation, and you can only get here accompanied by special services. Getting to Pripyat is, in principle, quite possible, but it is a risk to health and, possibly, life.
1. Snake Island - Brazil
Snake Island
It’s better not to go to Snake Island in Brazil – the name alone is worth it. There are up to 4,000 snakes on it that hunt birds, and whose poison kills a person in a few minutes or hours. In addition, visiting the island is prohibited by the Brazilian government.
