ASMR Mystery Stories: Forbidden Islands (North Sentinel, Poveglia, Surtsey, Queimada Grande), Sleep

Forbidden Islands are places where visitors are strictly banned, for a variety of reasons. In tonight's episode, I tell you about four different examples:
- North Sentinel, where one of the last uncontacted people in the world (the Sentinelese) keeps living in the neolithic;
- Poveglia, an island that previously served as a lazaret (a quarantine site) in the Lagoon of Venice;
- Surtsey, a volcanic island that appeared in the 1960's and has been closely watched by scientists since then;
- Queimada Grande, a.k.a. "Snake Island", home to an endemic species of vipers.
