Illegal Places You're NOT ALLOWED to See!

Although we may think that the Earth is our planet and we can do as we please, the truth is that we are all just tenants. There are places on the earth where it's best we don't go, whether that be to save that area from being damaged, or to save us from being damaged by the area, or to save us from being damaged by ourselves. These 11 areas have been made illegal to visit.

1. IIha Da Queimada Grande
This is an island off the coast of Brazil that the government has made illegal to visit. Its name is Portuguese for "Island of the big burn", and it is thought to have got its name from the burning of forestation in a failed attempt to make a banana plantation. It is also known as "Island of the cobra" and this is the reason it is illegal to visit.

2. Surtsey Island.
This Island is the youngest on earth, it was made in 1963 and has been protected ever since. It's a valuable asset for studying how life starts on a new landmass. In 1967 mosses began to appear, in 1998 the first bush. However, since the discovery of some potatoes that some kids had tried to cultivate and a tomato plant that took root due to improperly disposed of human feces, visits to the island are illegal and only a few scientists are granted access.

3. North Sentinel Island
Home to an indigenous tribe that wishes to remain isolated from the outside world, and are very violent to anyone approaching the island. India made it illegal to come within 5 nautical miles of the Island in order to protect the tribe's right to isolation and to protect the tribe from diseases they had no immunity to. If this isn't enough to dissuade you, the tribe is extremely violent towards outsiders.

4. Pine Gap, Australia
This is a US Satellite Surveillance base with over 800 employees, 38 radio dishes protected by radomes, and a huge computer complex. It is strategically positioned to capture the signals of US satellites as they pass over China, Eastern Russia, and The Middle East. It is jointly run by the CIA, Central Intelligence Agency, the NRO, National Reconnaissance Office, and the NSA, National Security Agency, which are three ways of saying YNW, Your Not Welcome!
5. Mezhgorye, Russia
Built, in the 1970s this town is closed to non-residents and it is illegal to trespass. Rumored to have a massive 400 square mile underground facility, the creation of the town itself and the reasons for its creation are shrouded in secrecy. The Russian government claimed it was a nuclear bunker for government officials, then later claimed it was a mining site. others claim that people who live in the city, work in the highly secretive bunker under Mount Yamantau.

6. Poveglia, Italy.
This island, located in the Venetian lagoon was used as a checkpoint for ships and goods entering Venice. When various cases of "The Plague" were detected, the island became a temporary confinement area and later a quarantine station where the bodies of the dead were cremated. It is thought that over 150,000 bodies were cremated and that half of the island's soil is human ash. In the early 1900's it was converted into a Mental Asylum.

7. Niihau Island, Hawaii
Also known as the Forbidden Island, it was bought by Elizabeth Sinclair, in 1864, for $10,000 and under the condition that it remained off-limits to outsiders. This clause remains to this day and only descendants of Elizabeth, Government officials, and invited guests are allowed to set foot on the island.

8. Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor.
Although archaeologists are excavating the areas around this massive tomb they aren't allowed inside. Located in a seismic area, the authorities fear that damages could be caused to the tomb if excavated, high levels of mercury found in the soil around the tomb have also led to fears over the health issues of excavation.

9. Buzludzha Monument.
This Bulgarian monument was built in the 1970s to commemorate the site of the first congress of the Bulgarian Communist Party in 1891 and the battle between communist partisans and the Bulgarian army in 1944. The toils of time and its isolated location have led to its decline and it is illegal to trespass there, for fear of damage being done to the monument, or to the trespassers.

10. Heard Island.
Ok so this one may not be illegal to go to, but it definitely is nearly impossible to visit.
It is the most isolated island in the world and is over 2000 miles away from an inhabited landmass. The only possible way to visit is by boat and the trip would take 7 days, in extremely windy conditions and sub-zero temperatures.

11. The Gates of Hell, Turkmenistan.
This hole is located in the Karakum desert, it's 230 feet/ 69 meters wide and has been on fire for 50 years. In 1971 a soviet drilling rig drilled into a natural cavern full of methane gas, this caused the ground beneath the rig to collapse and drop 98 feet/ 30 meters to the cavern floor.
