Top 5 Most Dangerous and Deadliest Places In The World Part 2

1. Skeleton Coast, Namibia: Skeleton Coast is extended over the south of Angola to the north of Namibia. It runs from the Kunene River in the south to the Swakop River in the north. Because of its brutal climate, the skeleton coast is considered one of “the worst places on earth,” with little chance of survival.

Travelers will find it difficult to explore this quiet place due to the weather, hot winds, and a shortage of food and drink. Aside from the harsh climate, the area is filled with animal bones (whales, elephants, turtles, seals, and so on), giving it an unpleasant appearance. Human problems (such as gang violence and robbery) make it unsafe for tourists to visit. It is undeniably one of the world’s most dangerous locations.

2. Gates of Hell, Turkmenistan: A large man-made crater that has been burning methane gas for decades is a calamity caused by scientists’ error in opening what is popularly known as the gates of hell. It was literally one of the most deadly judgments made by some clever individuals.

In trying to preserve the Karakum Desert’s air quality, scientists reasoned that burning the natural gas would be a rapid answer because the fire would burn out in a few weeks and the air quality would return to normal. On the contrary, the flames continue to burn despite the passage of over half a century. Only those who aren’t afraid of fire can conceive visiting the Darvaza crater, also known as the gates of hell. Unfortunately it is a disaster not of nature, but of man.

3. Death Road: There is a place in Bolivia that has been nicknamed the death road due to the fact that it has killed numerous people. The road connects the administrative capital of La Paz with the lower lying Yungas and the Amazonian rain forest. Estimations records that 250 people have died there every year since its construction in 1930 by Paraguayan prisoners during the Chaco War.

It has a lot of dangerous characteristics associated with it, starting from a narrow single track with no guard rails, excess fog, rains that blinds the drivers, and steep slopes that drop as far as 2000 feet deep. It has been named as one of the most dangerous places to visit in the world.

I know you’re beginning to wonder what on Earth some people are still doing going to the Death Road. Well, human beings have always been know to do anything for money. Since the road connects the Amazon rain forest to the capital city, merchants who sell wood and crops to cities beyond have been known to use this infamous road, but most of them never made it through alive.

4. Tijuana: Tijuana is bustling city in Mexico which is regarded as one of the most dangerous cities in the world. This city of Tijuana is known for its Cartel fights, bull fighting and other frivolities. It is equally one of the most violent cities in the world as there is reported to be an average of 100 murders per month in the city.

This city is equally married by other crimes such as Kidnapping, armed conflicts, armed robbery, and fights between various drug cartels. This therefore makes this city an extremely dangerous place to visit or live in.

5. Mount Washington, USA: Mount Washington, one of America’s most dangerous locations, holds the Guinness record for the fastest winds on the surface of the Earth, with speeds reaching 203 miles per hour. The excursion to Mount Washington is more difficult than one may expect, not only because of the high winds, but also because of the frigid temperatures, which can reach minus 40 degrees.

Also regarded as the world’s most perilous tiny mountain, it is reported that even the most experienced hikers have been blown off course by strong westerly winds that have driven them many miles away from routes and highways, making it impossible for them to return safely.
