Ilha de Queimada Grande is an uninhabited island off the coast of Brazil and it's a place were you will NEVER visit (not that you would want to). If you were to set foot on this island, you would be no more than 3 feet away from your death. This island is also known as Snake Island for a good reason. It is believed there are up to 5 snakes within every 10 square feet! Let's do the math.. the island is 110 acres... hmmmm.. that's well over 2 million snakes! Please feel free to correct my math :). The most dangerous snake is the deadly Golden Lancehead whose bit is so venomous that it can kill two men at once. The critters breed throughout the year and produce up to 50 baby killers at a time. The snake is not only dangerous, it's is unfortunately (or fortunately) endangered. Due to the inherent danger, the Brazilian Navy had forbid all travel the island with the exception of a scientific outfits.
as close as you would want to get :)!
