The world's most dangerous island.

01/10/2019

There are islands fraught with dangerous radiation, others with hidden currents that threaten the lives of unsuspecting tourists. And then there are islands riddled with danger because... the locals are overly hostile towards strangers.

But this most dangerous island in the world is terrifying in a different way.

Deep within the mangrove forests of Ramree Island (Myanmar) lie the island's most ferocious "natives"—saltwater crocodiles, which can weigh up to 1 ton and measure up to 7 meters in length, making them the largest of all crocodile species, according to National Geographic.

In 1945, the British army cornered a regiment of Japanese soldiers in the jungle on Ramree Island. Only half of the 1,000 soldiers managed to cross to the other side of the swamp; the rest were devoured by crocodiles.

The Ramree Swamp Massacre was recognized by the Guinness Book of Records in 1965 as: "The highest number of casualties in a crocodile attack."

Since then, these "swamp killers" have become a nightmare for anyone who intends to set foot on this treacherous land, and Ramree is also ranked as one of the most dangerous and terrifying islands in the world.
