Theres an almost completely uncontacted tribe of people called the sentinelese there who are usually aggresive towards outsiders and theyve killed people before...theyve even shot arrows at a helicopter because theyd never seen anythinf like it before... its prohibited so no one goes over there and risks being killed by the sentinelese and the government or whoevers in charge of the area decided itd be best to just leave them alone. Its actually a really interesting story theres a lot of good videos explaining it better on youtube

North Sentinel Island.

Prohibited to protect the tribe living on there.

Actually they encourage protection of the tribe there.

Wakanda - It’s a small civilization. But very interesting.

I still crack up about the christian "missionary" who was absolutely ADAMANT that he needed to bring religion to these people and ignored all warnings not to go there. They speared him to death on the beach and his body was never recovered. Not everyone needs religion, maybe just keep it to yourself.

Documentary on his case is wild.

Do you know what it’s called?

Edit: It’s called The Mission. Sorry, could have just Googled.

Ur thinking of Michael Rockefeller and the Asmat tribe. This article on the topic is well done

If you want to go visit it you could. But the locals and military will probably kill you before setting foot there

It’s a paradise island resort. I hear the locals are very very friendly to tourists

That’s Trump island. I hear it’s a paradise for MAGA people. Anyone who loves Trump should visit.

Yes! It's free to visit, no gay people, or people of color, and you get to vote twice!! I highly encourage all the true patriots to visit as soon as possible!!

It's prohibited to go there because it's the territory of a primitive tribe. The government wants the island to stay undisturbed to protect both the locals and the foreigners.

I'm pretty sure it's done in the same spirit as indian reservations in North America or UNESCO historical sites.

Check out Snake Island off the coast of Brazil
