10 most dangerous places around the world where you might not return alive
Think you’re brave? Think again.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
From toxic lakes that can turn you into a statue to islands where even setting foot could get you killed, these places aren’t just wild; they’re straight-up nope zones.
We’re talking zero Wi-Fi, zero second chances, and danger levels so high, even your GPS might scream, “Turn back!”
Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just love a good doom-scroll, here are the 10 most dangerous places on Earth where going there is risky… But coming back? That’s not guaranteed.
10 Most Dangerous Places Around The World
1. Mount Everest Death Zone (Nepal/Tibet)
Mount Everest Death Zone
One of the most treacherous locations is the death zone on Mount Everest, which lies above 8,000 metres (26,247 feet).
At this altitude, the atmospheric oxygen level is just a third of what we breathe at sea level, causing the human body to deteriorate rapidly.
Climbers suffer from cerebral and pulmonary oedema, extreme fatigue, and organ failure, all while facing bone-chilling temperatures and sudden storms.
Rescue is virtually impossible above 7,000 metres due to thin air that prevents helicopters from operating.
Ground rescues are rare and dangerous, often leading to more fatalities. Over 300 climbers have died in this zone, their bodies serving as chilling landmarks along the route to the summit.
2. Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (Ukraine)
Chernobyl Exclusion Zone
Equally inhospitable is the Chernobyl exclusion zone in Ukraine, the site of the world’s worst nuclear disaster.
The remains of Reactor No. 4 continue to emit deadly radiation, and the infamous “Elephant’s Foot”, a mass of radioactive corium, delivers lethal doses within minutes.
Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS) caused by exposure leads to vomiting, internal bleeding, and death in weeks.
Even short visits raise cancer risks significantly, as radiation exposure is both invisible and cumulative. Wildlife and vegetation have absorbed radioactive isotopes, turning seemingly harmless environments into hidden hazards.
3. North Sentinel Island (India)
North Sentinel Island
On North Sentinel Island in the Andaman Sea, the danger comes not from nature but from people.
The Sentinelese, one of the world’s last uncontacted tribes, have lived in isolation for over 60,000 years and violently repel any intruders.
In 2018, American missionary John Allen Chau was killed shortly after arriving on the island.
The risk of spreading fatal diseases to the tribe, combined with their lethal resistance, led the Indian government to enforce a strict no-contact policy.
Anyone approaching within three nautical miles faces arrest, and authorities avoid retrieval efforts due to the extreme hostility.
4. Lake Natron (Tanzania)
Lake Natron
Lake Natron in Tanzania is one of the most caustic bodies of water on Earth, with a pH as high as 10.5 due to volcanic chemicals.
Contact with the lake can cause severe chemical burns and blindness. The lake’s red waters emit toxic gases, including hydrogen sulphide, which can induce respiratory failure.
Temperatures in the region can soar above 60°C (140°F), creating an environment where dehydration and heatstroke occur rapidly.
Animal corpses that fall into the lake are preserved through natural mummification, standing as eerie testaments to the lake’s lethality.
5. The Danakil Depression (Ethiopia)
The Danakil depression in Ethiopia is another brutally extreme environment. Sitting below sea level in one of the hottest regions on Earth, daily temperatures often exceed 50°C (122°F).
The region features active volcanoes, sulphur springs, and salt flats, all releasing toxic gases such as sulphur dioxide and chlorine.
The depression lies atop a tectonic triple junction, making earthquakes and sudden ground shifts frequent. Visitors face the combined threats of extreme heat, lethal gases, and unstable ground, with little to no access to rescue or medical support.
6. Death Valley (California, USA)
Death Valley (California, USA
In the United States, death valley in California holds records for some of the highest temperatures ever recorded on Earth.
Summer temperatures routinely rise above 50°C (122°F), causing rapid dehydration and heatstroke.
Vehicles often break down due to overheated engines and melted tyres, leaving travellers stranded in remote areas with no water or cellular service.
Ironically, despite being one of the driest places in the world, death valley is also prone to sudden flash floods, which can turn arid plains into deadly torrents in minutes.
7. Fukushima Exclusion Zone (Japan)
Fukushima Exclusion Zone
Japan’s Fukushima exclusion zone, formed after the 2011 nuclear meltdown, remains hazardous due to lingering radioactive contamination.
The meltdown of three nuclear reactors released radioactive materials that persist in the environment, damaging human tissue and immune systems upon exposure.
Even advanced robots have failed inside the damaged reactor sites due to radiation-induced electronic failures.
The area is largely abandoned, and though some cleanup efforts are ongoing, many parts of the zone remain too dangerous for human or robotic entry.
8. Ciudad Juárez (Mexico)
Ciudad Juárez
Moving from environmental threats to human conflict, Ciudad Juárez in Mexico was once the epicentre of cartel violence.
Located along the U.S. border, it witnessed murder rates surpassing those of active war zones during peak years.
Civilians, journalists, and tourists were frequently caught in the crossfire, and targeted assassinations were common.
Police corruption and fear allowed criminal organisations to operate with impunity, leading to rampant kidnappings, extortion, and mass disappearances.
Though the violence has decreased in recent years, it remains a volatile and high-risk destination.
9. The Sahara Desert (North Africa)
The Sahara Desert
The Sahara desert, stretching across North Africa, is a vast, unforgiving expanse of sand dunes and barren plains.
Navigation is challenging due to featureless terrain and shifting sands that confuse even GPS systems.
Without access to water or shelter, dehydration can claim lives in a single day. Sudden sandstorms, or “haboobs”, can last for hours or days, reducing visibility to zero and causing suffocation from inhaling fine sand particles.
The sheer scale of the desert makes rescue efforts unlikely once someone becomes lost.
10. Drake Passage (Southern Ocean)
Finally, the Drake Passage, the turbulent stretch of sea between South America and Antarctica, is considered the most dangerous nautical crossing in the world.
The convergence of three major ocean currents generates massive waves that can reach 20 metres in height, along with gale-force winds and freezing temperatures.
Ships caught in storms here are at risk of capsizing, and those who fall overboard face hypothermia and death within minutes.
The remote location and harsh conditions make rescue efforts extremely difficult, if not impossible, especially during storms.

MTN Nigeria said it invested N1tn in 2025 to expand fibre infrastructure, roll out additional base stations and strengthen network capacity nationwide, as the country’s biggest telco returned to profitability after a choking financial year marked by foreign exchange pressures and negative equity.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The capital expenditure, more than double the prior year’s spending, formed part of a broader recovery that saw the company post a profit after tax of N1.1tn for the year ended December 31, 2025. The rebound followed a difficult 2024 in which MTN suspended dividend payments and grappled with balance sheet strain.
Chief Executive Officer Dr Karl Toriola described 2025 as a defining year for the company, linking the improved earnings position to renewed long-term infrastructure investment.
“During the year, we invested N1tn in network expansion and modernisation, more than double the prior year’s capital expenditure. This investment translates to additional base stations, deeper fibre rollout, expanded capacity and improved network resilience across the country because sustaining critical digital infrastructure requires disciplined capital allocation and a deliberate long-term approach,” the executive said.
The telcos’ total subscriber base increased to 87.3 million, up 7.9 per cent, while active data subscribers rose to 53.2 million. Data traffic grew by 34 per cent during the year. These figures reflect sustained demand for digital services across the country and underscore the need for continued investment in network capacity and resilience.
“We are mindful that in a period of economic pressure, expectations from customers are heightened. When Nigerians purchase data or rely on our network for work, education, financial services or daily communication, they expect reliability, fairness and continuous improvement. That expectation is both legitimate and central to our responsibility, Toriola noted.
MTN’s service revenue rose 55.1 per cent to N5.2tn in 2025, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation more than doubled to N2.7tn. Earnings per share improved to N53.07 from a negative N19.05 a year earlier, reflecting the sharp turnaround in operational performance.
Chief Financial Officer Modupe Kadiri said the company’s financial recovery was built on deliberate balance sheet repair, disciplined capital allocation and reduced foreign exchange exposure.
“A year ago, MTN Nigeria was in negative equity. Today, we are declaring a N20 total dividend for the 2025 financial year,” Kadiri stated.
The board approved a final dividend of N15 per share, subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting, bringing the total dividend for the year to N20 per share, including an interim dividend of N5 already paid in the fourth quarter.
According to its report, MTN generated N1.2tn in free cash flow during the year and rebuilt shareholders’ equity to N548.7bn, with retained earnings standing at N400.4bn at year-end, signalling restored financial stability after the previous year’s market volatility.
Toriola said profitability would continue to underpin infrastructure expansion, noting that profit enables sustained reinvestment in network quality and broader coverage rather than serving as an end in itself.
“Profit, in our context, is not an end in itself. It is the mechanism that enables continued investment in network quality, broader coverage and enhanced customer experience. As Nigeria’s digital ecosystem continues to expand across fintech, small businesses, education and public services, resilient and future-ready telecommunications infrastructure remains foundational to national development,” he added.

Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA orders airline to refund passengers charged VAT before January 1
The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority has directed Overland Airways to refund passengers who were wrongly charged Value Added Tax on flight tickets purchased before January 1, 2026.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The directive followed clarification issued by the Nigeria Revenue Service on the implementation of the new tax regime affecting airline tickets.
Passengers had complained to the regulators after an elderly woman was forced to pay the new tax in 2025, a fee that was expected to take effect on January 1, 2026.
The Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the NCAA, Michael Achimugu, in a statement on Saturday, disclosed that the matter had been resolved after regulatory engagement with the airline and the Nigeria Revenue Service.
“As directed by the NCAA, the operator, Overland Airways, has reverted with clarification from the Nigeria Revenue Service,” Achimugu said.
He clarified that passengers who bought tickets before the new tax laws came into force should never have been subjected to additional charges.
“Tickets purchased before January 1, 2026 were not affected by the new tax laws,” he said, adding that passengers who bought tickets in 2025 but were later made to pay VAT at check-in in 2026 were not supposed to have been charged.
According to the NCAA, the airline had initially implemented the VAT requirement based on its interpretation of the new fiscal policy, prompting complaints from affected travellers.
Achimugu explained that regulatory clarification became necessary to determine the correct application of the tax.
“The onus was on the NRS to clarify, which they have now done,” he said, noting that the aviation regulator had earlier communicated its position to the airline.
Following the clarification, Overland Airways agreed to correct the situation.
“The airline has committed to redress the situation by initiating a refund for affected passengers,” Achimugu added.
The controversy arose after several passengers complained that they were compelled to pay additional VAT charges at airport counters despite purchasing their tickets months before the tax provisions took effect.
Travellers described the development as unexpected and financially burdensome, especially during peak travel periods in December.
