#15 The Guatemala Sinkhole
Sinkholes are formed when the bedrock of the earth is slowly worn away by erosion until there is just a thin layer of soil or rock remains on the surface with a hole underneath. Sinkholes have appeared in various places in recent years, such as in the US and Sweden, but perhaps the best known is this 30-storey-deep hole in Guatemala.

#14 Lake of Death
A lake on the island of Sicily is one of the most dangerous places on Earth. It is called the Lake of Death. It kills any living organism that inadvertently appeared in its water, because the lake’s water has high concentrations of sulfuric acid. The acid is said to be coming from two unique sources at the bottom of the lake.

#13 The Road of Death
This road on a mountain that is located in Bolivia is actually nicknamed “Road of Death.” It is quite difficult to even watch people drive on it! Just imagine what people think while passing on this road risking their lives. The Road of Death is especially dangerous during the rainy season.

#12 Mount Washington
Mount Washington is located in the northeastern part of United States. Although its picturesque peak is only 6288 feet above the sea level, climbing it is highly undesirable. This is because of the strong wind speed in the area. The biggest recorded wind speed was at 231 miles per hour. In winter, the strong wind turns into terrible snow storm.

#11 Danakil
Danakil is a poisonous desert in Ethiopia. Everybody who has visited this place claims that they know how the hell looks like. Under the desert sleeps a volcano that can wake up at any moment, over the wasteland is unfit for breathing fetid air, and the temperature is over 122 F. In addition to these purely natural hazards, you should not expect anything good from the warlike tribes in the area, who could be quite aggressive.

#10 Sable Island – The Devourer of Ships
Permanently hidden in the fog andshort and totally flat, the island looks as if it is hiding and waiting for prey in that exact point near the Canadian port of Halifax, where warm Gulf Stream and the cold Labrador currents meet. During a powerful storm with high waves, the island is almost imperceptible. Also, one of the wonders of the place is that the sandy shores of Sable are able to change color, becoming similar to ocean waters.

#9 The Bloody Pond in Japan
This is one of the most famous places of Japan. Swimming in this pond is not recommended due to the high temperature that is reaching 194 F, and a large concentration of iron salts, which paints water in blood-red color. And over the surface of the water vapor envelops everything, so it seems like an entrance to hell.

#8 Aokigahara
Aokigahara is an ancient spooky forest at the foot of Mount Fuji, Japan. It became a favorite place for people to commit suicides 60 years ago, when the Seiko Matsumoto's book "Black Sea of Trees" was published. The characters of the book committed mass suicide by hanging in this forest. Each year, special teams gather from 70 to 100 bodies in the woods. In addition to the dead, the forest is filled with marauders, hungry for profit in the pockets of hanged men.

#3 Ramree Island
This island is located close to Burma and is familiar to fans of the Guinness Book of Records. In this book, he appeared in an article entitled: "the greatest damage done by animals to people."

#2 Mount Merapi
This volcano does not take weekends off. Even when there is no eruption, a huge column of smoke rises to the sky at height of 2 miles from its peak. Over the past five centuries, the Fire Mountain (this is the name translated from the local language) had "blazed" about 60 times. Despite that, about 200,000 residents live less than 4 miles away from the volcano.
