The most interesting islands on earth. The most mysterious islands in the world

There are many strange things in the world. Some are created by nature, others are man-made.

There are islands on Earth that have become famous for their special features.

Here are 20 of the strangest islands from all over the world, from the island of broken ships to the island where wearing a gas mask is mandatory.

20. La Isla de las Munecas ("Isle of the Dolls")

This island is located near the city of Mexico City. A man named Don Julian apparently lost his mind, abandoned his family and fled to this island, where he hung several dolls to ward off evil spirits. Some time later, he drowned.

19. Okunoshima Island

This small island is located in the Sea of ​​Japan, near the city of Takehara. It is also called "Rabbit Island". Between 1929 and 1945, the Japanese army used the island as a test site for chemical weapons and apparently imported rabbits as test subjects. The rabbits that inhabit the island today are the descendants of those very poor animals.

18. Isola La Gaiola

Not far from the coast of Naples lies the terrible island of Gaiola. Almost every inhabitant of this island has either been killed, or drowned, or lives in devastation. Many consider this place cursed and refuse to live here.

17. Deer Island, Thousand Islands

At first glance, this island, located next to Alexandria Bay, New York, USA, looks like an old island with old houses. But in fact, it is the site of the oldest secret society "Skull and Bones" (Skull & Bones), organized by Yale students.

It is believed that only representatives of the highest elite, the heirs of the wealthiest and most influential families in the United States, become members of this secret society. Both in the past and now, members of the Skull and Bones Society hold the highest positions in the fields of politics, media, finance, as well as in the scientific and educational fields.

16. Floating Islands on Lake Titicaca

These islands, created entirely by human hands, are interconnected by reeds and are the property of the local Uros tribe. A long time ago, representatives of the tribe created these islands and settled on them in order to avoid problems with other tribes. Today, this tribe still lives on the islands and is engaged in fishing, and also profits from tourism.

15. Poveglia Island

This island is one of the most famous in the Venetian Lagoon, which is located in northern Italy. For many years this island served as a "dump" for the sick and the dead. Here at one time the Romans sent victims of the plague.

In 1922, a hospital for the mentally ill was built here and, according to the legend, crazy experiments were carried out in this institution. Today, the island is uninhabited; moreover, none of the locals even think of visiting it.

14. Alcatraz Island

Located in San Francisco Bay, the island was originally used as a defensive fort.

After some time, the island was turned into a military prison, and then into a super-secure prison, in which there were especially dangerous criminals, as well as those who were caught trying to escape from the previous place of detention. Here sat Al Capone himself. Today this place is a museum.

Islands in the Atlantic Ocean

13. Sable Island

Off the coast of Nova Scotia is Sable Island, also known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. All you will find on this island are horses and the wreckage of 350 ships. It is worth noting that the image of the horses of this island can be found on Canadian stamps and coins of 2005.

It will also be interesting to note that due to two countercurrents: the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current, the island is moving and its speed is about 200 m / year. This sometimes leads to navigational errors.

12. Queimada Grande or Snake Island (Ilha de Queimada Grande)

There is an island in the Atlantic Ocean, near the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Queimada Grande is just full of poisonous snakes, and these are not just poisonous, but very poisonous snakes.

Moreover, the Brazilian naval forces forbid even setting foot on the coast of this island.

11. Fort Boyar

This island was built for 56 years. The project of the stone fortress-island was far from easy - when the French troops completed construction in 1857, progress in the field of weaponry made this island an easy target. This led to Fort Boyar being turned into a prison.

During World War II, German troops used the island for practice shooting and caused significant damage to the structure. For the next 20 years, the Fort was in disrepair, and under the influence of waves, wind and birds continued to collapse. Only later did television become interested in him, they bought the island, did the necessary restoration work and began to use it for the television game of the same name.

Islands in the Indian Ocean

10. Christmas Island

This small island is located in the Indian Ocean and is the outer territory of Australia. It is he who is the site of one of the largest migrations of representatives of the animal world on Earth.

Every year, about 120 million crabs move from the forests to the coast for a month to breed. It is truly an exciting sight.

9. Socotra Island

The island is located in the northwest of the Indian Ocean. It is part of the Socotra archipelago and is administered by the Republic of Yemen.

Since this island was isolated from prying eyes for a long time, a wide variety of plants and animals have been preserved here, most of which cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.

8. North Sentinel Island

This island is one of the Andaman Islands located in the Bay of Bengal. North Sentinel Island is officially administered by India.

The Sentinelese, the aborigines, live on northern Sentinel Island. Their number cannot be accurately determined, since they are hostile to any contact from people outside their civilization. The island currently exists in a rather unusual state of limbo.

Islands in the Pacific Ocean

7. Tashiro Island

Also known as "Cat Island", this small Japanese island is home to about 100 people and a huge number of cats and cats.

It is reported that the animals appeared on the island in the 1850s in order to control the number of rats that interfered with the silk production on the island.

Over the years, a large number of residents left the island, and the number of cats and cats began to increase. Today, the inhabitants of the island consider the animals as symbols of good luck. Tourists can even spend the night in a cat-like house.

Actually, this is not really an island, but rather an atoll, i.e. coral island that surrounds the lagoon. This uninhabited paradise in the North Pacific is where weird things happen.

It was discovered several hundred years ago, and visitors to the island have reported an eerie sense of doom. And to make the island seem even more sinister, it is worth noting that in 1974 a couple was murdered on it, who chose the wrong place and time for a picnic.

It is reported that a former prisoner named Buck Duane Walker (Buck Duane Walker) was involved in the crime.

5. Great Pacific Garbage Patch

Another island created by man, although not intentionally. Thanks to ocean currents, the garbage thrown into the Pacific Ocean gathered in one place.

This place is twice the size of the United States. Do not try to find this spot on Google Earth, as most of the garbage consists of small plastic parts that are partially hidden under water.

4. Hashima Island

Today, this former Japanese coal-mining colony looks like a deserted ship. But it used to be one of the most densely populated places on earth. The Japanese packed the island with workers from China and Korea during World War II.

As you might have guessed, visiting the island can be an eerie experience.

3. Easter Island

This Chilean island is filled with hundreds of huge statues known as moai. No one knows why the ancient Polynesians created these statues, but one thing is certain - it wasn't easy.

It is worth noting that the statues are made from compressed volcanic ash. Locals believe that these statues contain the supernatural power of ancestors who worshiped the first king of Easter Island named Hotu-Matu'a.

2. Fiji Islands

Today this place may seem like a paradise, but throughout its history, tribes of cannibals lived here. According to one of the travelers, people were tortured on the island and children and the elderly were treated with contempt.

Island on an island

1. Volcano Point on the island of Luzon

Luzon is the only island in the world inside a lake (Taal Island) inside a volcanic island inside a lake inside an island (Volcano Point) in the Pacific Ocean.

Taal Volcano, which is located on the island, is one of the smallest active volcanoes in the world. As a result of an eruption that occurred about 100,000 - 500,000 years ago, the volcano cone collapsed, which led to the formation of the caldera, and the flooding created Lake Taal.

Further volcanic activity led to the formation of a small island in the middle of Lake Taal. After more than 30 eruptions since 1572, a small lake has formed in the newly formed island.

In 1704, the Scottish sailor Alexander Selkirk, at his own request, was landed on the island of Mas-a-Tierra. He lived on it for the next 4 years, and his story formed the basis of Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe. If you decide now to follow the example of a sailor and retire on an island, you will have to seriously strain in search of such land: since 1877, people began to live permanently on the island of Mas a Tierra, and after it was renamed Robinson Crusoe Island in 1966, on he was rushed by hordes of tourists.
Of course, it is hardly possible to find a land where a human foot has not set foot, but it is quite feasible to get acquainted with pristine nature and visit places isolated from civilization. We found 10 secluded islands where, even if only for a couple of hours, you can feel like a real Robinson.

Ang Thong, Thailand

Almost untouched nature can be found in the Ang Thong archipelago, which is located about 30 km. from Koh Samui. It was untouched until the 40 islands of the archipelago were included in the Mu Ko Ang Thong National Park and began to carry tourists. But, despite this, all the islands, with the exception of one, remain uninhabited. The population is only on the island of Koh Palua. Sea gypsies live there, who earn their living exclusively by fishing.

Ball's Pyramid, Australia

The island is located about 20 kilometers southeast of Lord Howe Island. The stone spire, 562 meters high, is the remnant of an ancient volcano that formed about 7 million years ago. Ball's Pyramid is considered one of the most isolated stone islands in the world. Since 1965, climbers have chosen the island. The conquest of the summit continued until 1982, until the Australian authorities banned climbers from visiting the island. In 1986, the island was completely closed to the public, and in order to land on the rock, you need a special permit.

Auckland, New Zealand

This group of islands is located south of New Zealand's South Island. If someone once lived here, it happened somewhere in the 13-14th century - it was this age that archaeologists estimated the finds from Enderby Island, which, in their opinion, belonged to Polynesian settlements. At the moment, the islands do not have permanent residents, and the only visitors to the territory are scientific expeditions. The islands have a rather harsh climate, and the temperature stays around + 5-7 ° C, only in summer sometimes rising to + 11-15 ° C. But even in such conditions it is quite possible to survive, which confirms the experience of sailors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who repeatedly suffered shipwreck in this area and lived on the islands of the archipelago for a long period.

Phoenix, Republic of Kiribati

All the islands, with the exception of the largest island of the Canton archipelago, on which 31 people live, are uninhabited. After their discovery in the 19th century, guano was mined on the islands for some time. Such activities only caused damage to the flora and fauna, and the workers made Polynesian rats permanent inhabitants of the island. In 2008, the island was given the status of a protected conservation area. Now the Phoenix Islands are the world's largest marine reserve with an area of ​​410,500 square meters. km. In 2010, the islands were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Coconut Island, Costa Rica

The volcanic island in the Pacific Ocean is the most remote and isolated province of Costa Rica. It is located 523 km. from its western coast. This is a 24 sq. km piece of wildlife where some scenes of Jurassic Park were filmed, and pirates hid their treasures here. In order to preserve biological diversity and unique nature, the island was made a nature reserve. Although the island is considered uninhabited, there are still a few inhabitants here. Rangers constantly live on the island, who monitor the park and give tourists permission to go ashore.

Mamanuca, Fiji

The Mamanuca group of islands is considered one of the most popular tourist areas in Fiji. The archipelago consists of 20 islands, and many of them host resorts, but a few islands are still uninhabited. This is mainly due to the lack of drinking sources. The most famous desert island in the group is tiny Monuriki, where Cast Away was filmed.

Tetepare, Solomon Islands

The largest uninhabited island in the South Pacific covers a land area of ​​118 square kilometers. For many years, the indigenous population lived on the island, but almost 200 years ago they left it, moving to other islands. Now the island is used as a tourist attraction, and straw huts have been built here for the few who want to stay almost alone with nature.

Maldives

The Maldives consists of approximately 1190 coral islands. Approximately 200 of them are inhabited by the Maldivians. About 100 more were built up with luxury hotels. The rest of the islands remain uninhabited, which makes it possible for almost every resort to offer the Desert Island service, when hotel guests are taken to the nearest uninhabited island.

Aldabra, Seychelles

It is the second largest atoll in the world after Christmas Island. The island is a natural reserve of world importance. The island is home to a unique population of giant tortoises. In 1982, Aldabra Atoll was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. The island is one of the few remaining coral atolls on the planet, which is practically untouched by civilization.

The world in which we live, thanks to the Internet and the availability of various modes of transport, is becoming more and more crowded, and there are less and less mysteries in it. Most of the islands in the world have long been studied, their secrets have been explored many years ago, but still some are still covered with a halo of mystery. I present to your attention the ten most mysterious islands in the world.

1. Bermeya Island

This island was marked on the maps of the XVIII century, it was located a few kilometers from the Yucatan Peninsula and was the most remote part of Mexico. However, when expeditions were sent to search for it in the late 90s, the mysterious island could not be found. It was never discovered and in 2009 it was officially recognized as non-existent. Where did Bermeya Island disappear to? There are several theories on this, including US intervention and global warming.

2. Renaissance Island

This unique natural object was discovered in 2016 in hard-to-reach places in the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina). The floating island is located in an almost perfectly round lake and looks like an eye from a height. About this place, a film crew led by director Sergio Nespiler made a scientific documentary called "The Eye".

8 Partridge Island

This island is located in Canada, off the coast of the port of St. John. In the 19th century, thousands of immigrants came to Canada to escape the famine. To avoid the spread of diseases such as typhus, scarlet fever, yellow fever and cholera, the Canadian authorities have organized a quarantine complex on the island. Everyone who was sick was not allowed to leave the island, they died and were buried in a mass grave. According to rumors, the grass in this place is a rich emerald color, as it is nourished by the bones of the dead.

9. Easter Island

The island was discovered in 1722 by Dutch sailors and got its name in honor of the Easter holiday. The main attraction of Easter Island is the giant stone statues, of which there are about 900. There is still no consensus among scientists about their origin, and the locals believe that the power of the ancient gods is contained in the statues.

Socotra is an isolated island in the Indian Ocean that belongs to the country of Yemen. Located about 240 kilometers east of the Horn of Africa and 380 kilometers south of the Arabian Peninsula, the island is one of the most isolated landforms on earth of continental (i.e., non-volcanic) origin.

The island has been described as "the most alien-looking place on earth", and due to its isolation and warm, dry climate, a third of its plant life is found nowhere else on earth.

North Sentinel Island

North Sentinel Island is an island in the Andaman Islands archipelago belonging to India.

This island is notable for the indigenous people who live on it, the Sentinelese, who are among the last remaining people untouched by modern civilization. Sentinelese actively reject contact with other peoples, and in some cases have been openly hostile and aggressive towards outsiders.

After the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, Indian government helicopters flew over the island to watch for people who responded by throwing spears and rocks in an apparent attempt to drive the car away. In 2006, two fishermen were killed by the Sentinelese after their fishing boat was taken to the area of ​​the island and they ran aground on a coral reef.

Bouvet Island

Bouvet Island is an uninhabited volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean belonging to Norway. It is the most remote island on the planet, located approximately 1800 kilometers from Antarctica. South Africa is the nearest inhabited land from Bouvet at over 2,500 kilometers.

The island was first seen in 1739 by the Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier, after whom it is named, but due to inaccurate coordinates, it could not be found for another 70 years.

Pitcairn Islands

The Pitcairn Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the South Pacific.

Pitcairn is the most sparsely populated area in the world, with only 56 people who are descendants of the rebels from the British ship Bounty and the Tahitians they took with them to the island. The Bounty was a Royal Navy ship that sailed for breadfruit in the South Pacific in 1787. William Bly - the captain of the ship - after his crew mutinied against him, was landed in the middle of the ocean, along with loyal crew members, in a 7-meter longboat with a supply of food and water for several days. Only in a small boat, he successfully traveled from the Dutch East Indies without a compass and maps in 7 weeks of sailing.

In an attempt to avoid detection, the mutineers split up and some stopped at Pitcairn Island, where the Bounty was burned.

Severnaya Zemlya

Severnaya Zemlya is a Russian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Administratively, it is part of the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) municipal district of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Surprisingly, despite being relatively close to the Russian mainland, these islands were first discovered only in 1913 and were not mapped until the early 1930s, making this archipelago the last to be discovered on earth.

The climate on these islands is very cold all year round, with temperatures just above freezing even during the summer months. The isolation and extreme climatic conditions mean they are uninhabited, apart from the Arctic base.

Tanna Island

Tanna Island is in the South Pacific and is owned by the Vanuatu people.

Among others, the island is inhabited by the Kastom people, who consider Prince Philip, husband of Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain, a divine being. Their unusual choice of deity has its origins in an ancient tale that says that the pale-skinned son of a mountain spirit went to a distant land, married a worthy lady, and would eventually return to them.

When this cult appeared is not known exactly, it is assumed that between 1950 and 1960. Belief in the legend was strengthened in 1974 when the royal couple made an official visit to Vanuatu and some of the inhabitants of the island actually saw Prince Philip from a distance and witnessed the respect shown to the person by the colonial representatives.

At the time of the visit, the prince was not aware of such movement on the island, until he was informed by the British Resident Commissioner in the New Hebrides (the name of the people of Vanuatu until 1980), John Champion. He also suggested that Prince Philip send his portrait to the Yaohnanen tribe. The prince responded to this proposal and sent official photographs signed by him to the island of Tanna. In response, the islanders sent the prince a photograph of the traditional ritual of the tribe - the sacrifice of a pig, called on the island nal-nal.

The strangest islands in the world

Hashima Island, Japan

Now completely deserted, the Japanese island of Hashima was once one of the most densely populated places on Earth. Sometimes it is also called Gunkanjima, which translates as Battleship or cruiser. Today, this island is an analogue of the exclusion zone in Chernobyl. True, unlike Chernobyl, it is uninhabited for a different reason.

In 1810, coal was found there. Then the island was a piece of rock in the open sea. With the beginning of coal mining, the island was doubled by filling. As a result, it became 480 meters long and 160 meters wide. On this patch of land there were several mines, residential buildings, shops, kindergartens, schools, hospitals and even two swimming pools.

But gradually the coal reserves dried up and in 1974 all the inhabitants left the island, so it turned into a ghost town. For several decades, the island was banned from visiting by the Japanese government in order to stop the activities of black diggers who found household items there and sold them to collectors. However, interest in this strange island did not fade, so in 1998 it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and in 2009 it was opened to tourists.

Even if you haven't been to the island, you've probably seen it in the movies. In the 2012 James Bond film 007: Skyfall, Hashima Island was the setting for Bond's first confrontation with Silva.

Island of the Dolls, Mexico

The Island of the Dolls (La Isla de las Munecas) is located seventeen kilometers from the center of Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, in the area of ​​Xochimilco. Once there was a lake here, and today in its place is a network of canals with numerous floating islands - chinampas. One of the islands is inhabited by abandoned dolls. If you are a horror movie lover, then you should definitely visit this creepy place. Dirty old dolls with empty eye sockets or severed limbs hang everywhere on trees, bushes and poles. Such a landscape looks terrifying, so visiting this island is not recommended for children and women.

In the 50s, a certain hermit named Julian Santana settled here. They say he witnessed a tragic incident when three girls drowned in one of the canals. After that, apparently something jumped in Santana's head and he began to hang dolls all over the island, supposedly fulfilling the will of the spirits of the dead girls. Julian Santana lived on this strange island for many years. He grew vegetables, sold them, and some buyers paid him with dolls. In 2001, Santana was found dead in the same place where he allegedly saw the drowned girls.

Today this place is visited by many tourists who want to tickle their nerves. You can get here only on a rented boat or with a local "guide" - an aborigine.

Floating islands on Lake Titicaca. South America.

Lake Titicaca is home to one of the oldest tribes in the Americas. The Uros, a tribe that preceded the Inca empire in this land. They themselves claim that they existed even before the appearance of the sun, and possessed superpowers. Then they violated some main universal law and lost their power, after which they were forced out by the powerful Incas into the mountains, where they settled on the high-mountainous island of Titicaca. By the way, this legend in some way echoes the biblical story of the fall of Adam and Eve.

Some bibliographers and theologians draw parallels between the myths and legends of ancient tribes and nationalities that have not lost their authenticity to this day and the Biblical description of the beginning of time. So, among many peoples who have not been touched by civilization, there are legends about the global flood and the Atlanteans, who are called Giants in the Bible.

But back to the Uros Islands. Floating islands in our time will not surprise anyone. But the peculiarity of these islands is that they are entirely made of reed, which is very abundant on Lake Titicaca. Thus, large enough islands - platforms suitable for habitation, the Uros Indians actually make from grass. True, the tribe is forced to constantly renew the facing, outer layers of the reeds so that the island does not go to the bottom. Reeds are also used to make houses, boats, souvenirs for tourists and eat it.
The irony of the confrontation between different tribes lies in the fact that, for example, the highly developed civilization of the Incas disappeared from the face of the Earth, and the tribe of savages, living for hundreds of years in "unsanitary" conditions, survived and still exists.

North Guardian Island, India.

Thanks to satellite images and aerial photography, there are practically no unexplored territories left on Earth. However, an island called North Sentinel (North Sentinel Island) in the Bay of Bengal, one of the Andman Islands, has been largely unexplored. The fact is that it is all covered with trees with dense foliage, so it is impossible to see from the air what is happening on land.

This island is inhabited by the Sentinelese tribe, which can be called the wildest tribe on the planet. Over the years, there have been numerous attempts to make contact with them, but at anyone who approaches their island, the savages shoot arrows and throw stones. A few years ago, they killed two Indian fishermen drifting in a boat along Northwatch Island.
The tribe has been living on this island in complete isolation for thousands of years, but they never learned how to make fire, so they are forced to constantly keep smoldering firebrands in special vessels. But they shoot well from a bow, so researchers can only observe them through binoculars from a safe distance.

Scientists do not even know what the number of this tribe is. Perhaps this tribe has something to hide from civilization?

Hart Island, New York

Not all strange islands are in remote parts of the globe. Hart Island, the burial ground island, for example, is actually considered part of the Bronx (New York). During the Civil War, Hart was a POW camp. It was subsequently used as a prison. One of the oldest buildings on the island was a lunatic asylum for women in the late 19th century. Also here at different times there were a tuberculosis dispensary, a drug treatment clinic and a correctional institution for boys.

Hart is one of the largest cemeteries in the world. About a million dead are buried here, many in mass graves, but no one lives here. Today, homeless New Yorkers or those who could not be identified are buried here. In this regard, numerous scandals are associated with the island, when the dead were mistaken for the homeless and buried here, while relatives considered them missing.

The only way to get to the island is by boat and with the permission of the New York City Department of Corrections, but thrill-seekers sneak in here at night when the island is not guarded. While normal people do not want to get to the island, which is associated with so much negativity, goths and satanists flock here like flies to g…

Okunoshima, Japan

Okunoshima is commonly referred to as Rabbit Island. This small island is located in the Sea of ​​Japan near the city of Hiroshima. In the 1920s and 1940s, there was a secret plant on the island where chemical weapons were produced. Today it houses a museum dedicated to chemical weapons.

Nowadays, Okunoshima is one of the most famous Japanese islands, thanks to the wild population of rabbits. Hunting for rabbits is prohibited by law here, and there are no natural enemies, that is, predators, on the island. Therefore, rabbits are absolutely not afraid of tourists and often approach them to beg for a treat.

A hotel and a campsite have been built on the island for numerous tourists who come here by ferry from neighboring islands. At the same time, many are wary of this island. It is necessary to take into account the fact that a huge amount of pesticides has been produced on the island for 30 years, so there may be unauthorized burials of toxic substances here.
According to one version, rabbits were brought here to check the environmental safety on the island. According to another version, in 1971, a group of schoolchildren brought eight rabbits to the island, which bred and now they can be found in every corner of the island.

The most terrible version is that the modern rabbit population is the descendants of unfortunate animals that were experimented with the effects of chemical weapons on living organisms.

Niihau, Hawaii

The smallest of the inhabited islands of Hawaii, Niihau is one of the most closed islands in the world to foreigners. Since 1863, the island has been privately owned by a certain Robinson family.
There are no paved roads, shops, telephone communications and other benefits of civilization on the island. There is not even running water here: water comes from the collection of rainwater. The electricity needs are provided by solar panels. Residents move around the island on foot or on bicycles.

Despite the fact that the island is privately owned, about 250 Hawaiians live here permanently and work on the Robinson family's ranch. Foreigners can enter the forbidden island only at the special invitation of the owners of the island. Mooring on the shores of the island is prohibited. Sometimes, during severe droughts, Niihau residents are evacuated to a neighboring island before the first rains can fill the local water supply.

Queimada Grande - island of poisonous snakes

One of the most dangerous places on Earth is the island of Queimada Grande, located in the Atlantic Ocean, 35 km from the coast of the Brazilian state of Sao Paulo. The island is uninhabited and closed to the public. The most dangerous snake lives here - island botrops. The poison of this reptile causes a painful death. Considering that the population density of this snake is up to 5 individuals per square meter, mooring to the coast of this island is prohibited, so tourists are limited to diving and fishing along the coast of Snake Island.

Previously, a lighthouse keeper and his family lived on the island, but one day a poisonous creature crawled into his house... The bodies of all family members were discovered by military sailors, after which a lighthouse was installed on the island, which operates automatically. This is the only place on earth where snakes have completely replaced the "king of nature" and dominate the island, where a wonderful resort could be organized.

These creatures feed on migratory birds, which, without even suspecting the danger, sit on trees to rest.
