About 20 miles off the southeastern coast of Brazil, there is an island.

It's beautiful, it's lush, it's mountainous.

It's almost completely empty of people, very, very, very few people have ever even set

foot on this island.

The island's name is Iha de Quimada Grande, and it's pretty famous.

And around the world, the island is mostly known by a nickname, a nickname which explains

the real lack of human activity.

It is called Snake Island.

It is one of the most snake-filled places in the world.

This tiny little island, one fifth of a square mile, is home to about 3,000 golden lance

headvipers.

The snakes can grow four feet in length, and they're one of the most venomous snake species

in the entire western hemisphere.

A golden lance head snake bite will cause internal bleeding, kidney failure, necrosis of muscle

tissue, brain hemorrhage, and death.

So what do you say?

To see if Snake Island really lives up to its reputation.

More, after this.
