If you're planning a vacation lately, then here we are to help you out and provide information about the places you should avoid making a visit to. Below is the list of some of the most dangerous places in the world to visit

This place looks like a paradise, doesn’t it? Well, all that glitters is not gold! Bikini Atoll is an atoll in the Marshall Islands which consists of 23 islands. The picturesque island turned into a radioactive island and it was the home to numerous nuclear testing programs. The inhabitants were forced to abandon their homes, and even today this remains hazardous for living organisms and also, the abnormally high level of radiation recorded here can cause cancer.

4 . Afar Depression, East Africa

The Afar Depression is a formidable landscape which includes the Danakil Desert and the lowest point in Africa, Lake Asal, less than 155 meters (510 ft) below sea level. It is well known as one of the cradles of hominids with the oldest bones discovered in the world having come from this area. Small earthquakes are constantly shaking the region. This happens because Erta Ale volcano, in the Afar Region of Ethiopia, contains two lava lakes in its summit crater. The amount of lava in them is constantly changing, causing the Earth’s surface to shake up and down.

5 . Lake Natron, Tanzania

The alkali salt crust on the surface of the lake is so dangerous that all living creatures die just coming into contact with it. Besides, the strong odour of hydrogen sulphide coming from lake’s surface won’t let you admire the stunning scenery for long.

6 . Sumatra Island, Indonesia
