Pretty sure the Sentinelese have murdered stranded folks within the last couple decades, haven't they?

Yep, killed two poaching fisherman that washed up. They attack anyone who gets near and do the helicopter with their dongs at them too.

Good luck sneaking around and climbing this fricker

The mountain most widely claimed to be the highest unclimbed mountain in the world in terms of elevation is Gangkhar Puensum
(7,570 m (24,840 ft)).It is in Bhutan, on or near the border with China. In Bhutan, the climbing of mountains higher than 6,000 m (20,000 ft) has been prohibited since 1994.
The rationale for this prohibition is based on local customs that consider this and similar peaks to be the sacred homes of protective deities and spirits, and the lack of high-altitude rescue resources from any locale closer than India. The prohibition was further expanded in 2003 when mountaineering of any kind was disallowed entirely within Bhutan. Gangkhar Puensum will likely remain unclimbed so long as the government of Bhutan prohibits it.

How does this even happen? Shocked that it is still this way today...they are missing out on some serious cheese by not even letting Mick Jagger come visit

Indian exploratory parties under orders to establish friendly relations with the Sentinelese made brief landings on the island every few years beginning in 1967. In 1975, Leopold III of Belgium, on a tour of the Andamans, was brought by local dignitaries for an overnight cruise to the waters off North Sentinel Island. The cargo ship MV Rusley ran aground on coastal reefs in mid-1977, and the MV Primrose did so in August 1981. The Sentinelese are known to have scavenged both wrecks for iron. Settlers from Port Blair also visited the sites to recover the cargo. In 1991, salvage operators were authorized to dismantle the ships.
After the Primrose grounded on the North Sentinel Island reef on 2 August 1981, crewmen several days later noticed that some men carrying spears and arrows were building boats on the beach. The captain of Primrose radioed for an urgent drop of firearms so his crew could defend themselves. They did not receive any because a large storm stopped other ships from reaching them. However, the heavy seas also prevented the islanders from approaching the ship. One week later, the crewmen were rescued by a helicopter under contract to the Indian Oil And Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC).
The first peaceful contact with the Sentinelese was made by Triloknath Pandit, a director of the Anthropological Survey of India, and his colleagues on 4 January 1991. Indian visits to the island ceased in 1997.
The Sentinelese survived the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and its after-effects, including the tsunami and the uplifting of the island. Three days after the earthquake, an Indian government helicopter observed several islanders, who shot arrows and threw stones at the hovering aircraft. Although the tsunami disturbed the fishing grounds, the Sentinelese appear to have adapted.
On 26 January 2006, two fishermen, Sunder Raj, age 48, and Pandit Tiwari, age 52, were killed by Sentinelese when their boat accidentally drifted too close to the island when they were fishing for mud crabs.
Since then, there has been no contact between the Sentinelese and the rest of the world, and a 3-mile exclusion zone has been established around the island.

Cool post. Well done. This has the feel of "Animal Talk" with Pecker in terms of depth and breadth of fascinating information.
Join me in celebrating these "forbidden places you can't visit"!

I've been there. Nobody will stop you from docking. We walked around for an hour or so and took some great pictures. Kind of spooky when you think about the history, but it's also a place where you could have a great weekend party. We spent most of our time exploring the building and it was extremely cool.

Ilha da Queimada Grande island is located off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. It is the only home to now critically endangered venomous golden lancehead pit viper. The island is closed to the public in order to protect this snake population as well as protect the visitors, as by some estimates there is one snake to every square meter of the island.

Isn't there supposed to be an island that has natives that will kill and eat you the minute you set foot on it?
I'd like to visit that seed vault, NORAD and that place under Kansas that's used to store film, videotape and audiotape.
That would be cool.

Been discussed already, North Sentinel Island, they aren’t cannibals though.

Morgan (Monkey) Island, SC
LINK
Thousands of damn monkeys on one of our sea islands in SC. They’re used for research and hundreds are taken a year for that purpose. The Department of Natural Resources tries to keep the population around 4,000.
I had a really interesting class in grad school that was with one of the head biologist from DNR. Took a nice trip around the island on boat and saw the monkeys coming out of the palmettos like cock roaches
Who knew monkeys would thrive in the low country salt marshes.
