Man snuck onto Snake Island where no human is allowed to visit

Man snuck onto Snake Island where no human is allowed to visit

"Many have been to this island and very few have gotten out"

YouTuber Lord Miles once visited one of the world's most lethal islands, Ilha da Queimada Grande, and lived to tell the tale.

Known as 'Snake Island', this stretch of fork-tongued rock sits off the coast of Brazil's São Paulo and is considered too dangerous for humans to set foot on.

106 acres in size, it's home to an estimated 4,000 snakes, including the extremely venomous Golden lancehead (belonging to the pit viper family).

Its toxic bite would kill the average person within an hour, so you really don't stand much of a chance out there in the remoteness if one managed to sink its fangs into you.

Due to the island's number of highly venomous snakes, it's no surprise that visiting Snake Island is out of bounds - with exceptions in place for researchers and scientists.

Naturally, Lord Miles thought this perilous adventure would make deliciously fine content for his subscribers.

Getting to the island was no easy feat, though, as the YouTuber and his team needed to sneakily evade the Brazilian coast guard.

Once they made landfall, Lord Miles wasted no time in embarking on a jungle route up to an abandoned lighthouse, which he called one of the 'most dangerous' on the island.

Thankfully Miles decided to bring some protective gear - medieval inspired armour, as it happens - before saying a prayer and setting off to meet his fate.

"This isn't clickbait, I'm on one of the most dangerous island in the world," he told the camera. "Many have been to this island and very few have gotten out unfortunately."

The journey to the lighthouse, where locals allege that the occupants inside died from reptilian bites, saw Miles trudging through overgrown grass.

Regardless of the island's killer reputation, Miles encountered very few snakes along the way. In fact, it seemed like he was more at risk of suffering from dehydration rather than some sort of bite.

"It's not that bad, for the second most dangerous island in the world," he delivered down the camera later on.

Fortunately for him, luck also seemed to be on Miles' side as he managed to make it off the island alive - but don't take that as an invitation to visit the island yourself, silly.
