Snake Island is a small landmass located off the coast of Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean. The island is around 33 hectares or 0.33 square kilometers in land area and has a length of around 1.5 kilometers or 0.93 miles.
The terrain of the island is mostly rocky and hilly with a peak elevation of around 200 meters or 656 feet. The island is uninhabited and covered with lush green vegetation.
The island got its name due to the presence of a large number of venomous snakes, particularly the Golden Lancehead Viper, which is endemic to this island. It is considered to be one of the most dangerous snakes in the world.
Due to the presence of these dangerous snakes, the island is strictly off-limits to visitors. It is surrounded by strong currents and rough waters, making it difficult to reach, and there is no human habitation on the island.
Despite this, Snake Island is a popular destination for scientific researchers, who study the unique ecosystem of the island and the behavior of the Golden Lancehead Viper.
