This Island Attacks Anyone Who Tries to VisitAdded:
This is one of the only places on Earth you're not supposed to visit. It's called North Sentinel Island in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. And on this island, there lives a tribe that has been completely isolated from the modern world for thousands of years. In fact, there was an incident in 2018 when an American missionary named John Allen Chau secretly attempted to visit the island. Local fishermen dropped him off near the island and he tried to approach the tribe alone. He never returned. So, the island is now heavily protected and going there is illegal.
