Also known as Ilha da Queimada Grande, Snake Island is an island off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. The name suggests that it is full of snakes and yes a serious amount of snakes. It is believed that there are between one and five snakes per square meter, with an estimation of 2,000 and 4,000 snakes overall. These snakes aren’t the most friendly type either, the island is home to the bothrops insularis, a very poisonous viper. Theoretically, with authorization from the Brazilian Navy, it is manageable to enter the island legally – but then again why would you want to do that?
