The maximum recorded speed of wind there is 327 km/h (by the way, a high-speed train called "Sapsan" is capable of speeds up to 350 km/h). Plus, the temperature there can reach up to -40 degrees Celsius, let alone regular snowfalls. Also, despite the fact that the mountain is only 1917 meters high, the man who is on the top of it experiences the same as though he is at the peak of the Everest.

It is an active volcano located on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The eruptions take place there with devastating frequency, leaving thousands of residents of nearby villages and towns homeless.

Snake Island, Ilha da Queimada Grande, Brazil

This island is off the coast of Brazil and can rightly be placed on the top of our '10 most dangerous vacation spots' list. The reason is that its inhabitants, called Bothrops, are some of the most poisonous snakes in the world. The density of "population" on the island is five snakes per square

This is due to the fact that if they ascend too fast they could suffer from HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) which can cause heavy breathing and the lungs filling with fluids, this is extremely fatal if not treated quickly. A disease similar to this is HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema) which is caused by being at high altitudes and it causes the brain to swell and fill with fluids and can cause disorientation and nausea and eventually, death.

    Indonesia is located on a subduction zone, which the Indo-Australian plate subducts under the Eurasian plate. At subduction zones, water that flowed in the hot mantle cause the mantle to partially melt. Eventually, the magma cooled on the surface and created a volcano. Since the volcano spewed out pyroclastic flow, this indicates that the magma was high in silica and therefore high in viscosity. Explosive volcanoes typically occur at subduction zones.
