- There are thought to be as many as 670 thousand islands on the planet… with each one having its own unique shape, environment, and history. Not all of them are what you’d expect, though, and there’s a handful that stand out among the rest because of how unusual they are. From bizarre animals, to geological structures, legends, and human developments… it’s time to take a tour of the 15 strangest islands on earth.

I can't believe there wasn't just one person who said 'Guys, you do realize how fast and often rabbits procreate, don't you?'
They breed like rabbits
Looks like a place that needs a den of fox introduced to. They would bring down the rabbit population.
@@cdjhyoung Japan has a fox island, too.
Rabbits would be better than wale meat. And all those soft fluffy fur products.
Get a contract for bulk imperfect fruit and veg and sell to tourists to feed rabbits.
Build a rabbit restaurant and fur goods.
Natural mowing and manure too!
@@Fruitcupper whale. Not really, you can starve to death eating rabbit. Short of certain nutrients.
This channel is underrated. They actually did research on the contents instead of just saying anything that "baits" people to watch.
Good video. Not the typical cheesy clickbait of typical content creators, and full of good information. I give it a 10/10.
That's funny because I thought it was clickbait because with my limited knowledge can come up with a better list and maybe only use like 2 of those.
@@whom382 I bet your list would be the same useless bullshit as your mediocre music. People like you committed suicide for less, so you still have a chance, buddy.
Try @ Watop. Nobody beats their content
I live on a strange island at the bottom of the world it's called New Zealand ..
The islands of NZ aren’t strange - it’s the people that make it strange :) love from Oz
@@tonybigwood5928 exactly
Oh man, I really enjoyed visiting New Zealand a couple years ago. The scenery is fantastic and the people are truly nice, even when they found out I am American. LOL I only got to see the middle of the North Island so someday I'd like to visit the South Island as well as the northernmost part of the North Island.
@@LauraS1 it's very different when you get born here i'm telling ya ,,but yes south island is best visit the westcoast if you like isolation & you want to stroll a beach & be the only person there but be warned the sandflies are hideous & can easily drive a person insane take repellant tons of it .
I live in South Carolina, usa. I would trade places with you any day.
One of the more fascinating videos I have seen in a long time. Thanks!
You've got one of the more fascinating names I've heard this week
Suggested additions to the list: Pitcairn, Ball's Pyramid, Hishima Island, Dry Tortugas, Chistmas Island (crab migration) and of course Easter Island
Snake island is my worst nightmare. 😵😵💫😬
Just imagine swimming for your life after a boat sinking and horrifyingly winding up on....Snake Island? Oh my!
No it's perfect build a house on the center of the island and the snake's serve as a natural security system nobody will bother you ever again sounds like paradise to me.
🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍👀☠️
There's an even dangerous "snake island" down there in Brazil. And as ironically as it may seem it is located inland, at the very center of the country, in Brasília, where all the politicians gather in the National Congress. Their venom is the worst there is!!! 😂😂
@@mattchristensen7802 Like the lighthouse family, said to be killed by the snakes invading their home?
Palmyra Atoll has the quirky distinction of being the last Incorporated territory of the US. All other US territories are unincorporated. Incorporated territories are considered integral parts of the US and the constitution would fully apply to the residents (if there were any). 31 states were formerly part of incorporated territories and Palmyra Atoll is the last remnant of these.
Have you read the book "And the Sea will Tell"?
Big Major Cay is technically a part of the Black Point district of the Bahamas, which is sandwiched in between the islands that make up the Exuma district. Same chain of islands though. Either way, great and very informational video! I'm definitely adding Fadiouth to my bucket list
Pohnpei Island should be on the list. It has Nan Madol, that strange, centuries old city made from coral.
In the Canadian North there is an island on a lake on an island on a lake on an island (Victoria Island) that is in the Nunavut territory. Those types are called recursive islands
I'm from Nova Scotia and it's awesome to see Sable Island on the list
The Flevopolder in the Netherlands, the biggest artificial island in the world. It's 970 square KM (374 square miles) and lies at an average of 5 meters (16 feet) below sealevel.
Let’s go Nederland broer
If its below the surface its not a island.
@@terrypikaart4394 Yes it is.
@@terrypikaart4394 Are you serious?
Amazing video! Thank you very much for sharing!
The island with the dolls is really creepy! Cheers from Canada!
Where do in Canada
Cheers from Oregon. Love your beautiful country. Spent many summers in Blaine WA on the US/Canada Border. my grandma lived 3/4mile away and we use to walk across daily. There was a pheoniminal fish&chip shack on the beach in White Rock. My uncle had a house in Pt Roberts, US. Also had the honor of visiting St John's New Foundland at Christmas coming back from a deployment to Iceland. Be Safe Friend.
yeah i found it creepy too, cheers
I must be incredibly pragmatic. I just thought it was funny. To me that's a story of how a superstitious man made his own life miserable, then scared every gullible person in the neighborhood & beyond. Then they contribute to their own fantasy!
10:17 I concur 100%. Great video. Thx for sharing!
The island in the thumbnail is Vatu Vara Island in Fiji.
Thank you! I was searching for its name! It should have been mentioned on the video. o/
Great Research done by the creator and this guys voice really makes the video. Especially when he explains Vulcan Point, that is an island, within a lake, in an island, that itself is within a lake, on an island...and in the Pacific Ocean...( known as a 3rd Order Island ) and omg that's crazy!
Its a pity that Cocos Island is not in this list. Its soooo beautiful and special
Which Cocos Island they're so many all over the world? The one off Guam is lovely!
Which coco island ?
The one that belongs to Australia?
- I've seen COUNTLESS island videos && this has yet been THE BEST ONE !! You're the ONLY one who also mentioned the destruction of Palm Island as well. Thanks for that !! 🌴 🏝
I'm surprised Ometepe Island in Nicaragua isn't on the list. Two volcanoes close together on one island in Lake Nicaragua
Time for a research
Nicaragua doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
A window on the world! Very interesting and educational video! Great!
Correction. 1974 Palmyra Atoll murders. The remains of the female victim Eleanor Graham were found by a sailor in a half-buried metal chest that had washed ashore on a Palmyra beach in 1981. The remains of the male victim were never found.
There is a book about this titled
And The Sea Will Tell
((I think)
video very good🤩
The venom of the Golden Lancet viper would be classed as a necrotoxic is it does the damage as described in this video. Haemotoxic venom disrupts the clotting process of blood.
It was apparently common for sailors to leave pigs and other livestock on islands with the intent of going back to them later and eating some of them.. even YEARS after they've been breeding.
Not just European Sailors, but also Melanesian, Micronesian and Polynesian peoples as they migrate out on the farther islands. Pigs were standard fare for them.
Yes, it was in case people were shipwrecked....look up Bermuda
Goats were popular because of their ability to survive; seems they'd be hard to catch though. Pigs are too, they're wicked smart & fight like lions.
When my dad was young, there was an old joke, when somebody asked where someone else was: "They went out back and the hogs et 'em". Because this was actually known to have happened occasionally.
When I raised hogs in the 1990s, I had to teach my small kids not to climb on the "pig panel" fence, or stick their limbs through it. There was a real danger that a hog would grab hold of them & jerk an arm off, or whatever else they could get a hold of. Pigs can be very mean, even if well fed.
Great vidoe with amazing views and information. Wizard Island in Oregon is small but historic.
completely agree with you
thank you , awesome list . Love to learn about places
Beautiful!👏
Thank you!🙏❤
Amazing islands indeed
Very interesting ! 🏝
I like that picture, how long's that hair? I find it attractive, please describe it?
Great doc, nice shots
17:49 that formation is absolutely insane!
Don't forget the most researched for its location. Modriki Island was used in the movie Cast Away starring Tom Hanks it is located just off the main island of Fiji. Now that you know where it's located. Don't you want to go?
17:30 The lighthouse was converted to fully automatic for pretty much the same reasons as the vast majority of stations were being converted at that time across the world; better automation = less need for a human supervisor and COST CUTTING that has, arguably, caused unnecessary loss of life in a large number of the areas concerned.
There is also the very serious problem enabled by these stations being set to unmanned auto that I have personally observed.
Even here in NZ, I have seen the evidence of the dregs finding their way out to these essential safety stations and not just defacing them but actively attempting to disable them.
Why isnt Epstein Island on this list
Man no one cares
There used to be a "Weather Ship " anchored about 100 miles off the northern tip of Vancouver Island . It gave accurate predictions because it actually SAW the weather as it came thru towards the Island . In 1979 it was replaced with an automated station ( a Weather Buoy ) A year later , the buoy predicted a storm w/ 50 MPH winds coming in 12 hrs It turned out to be 100 MPH in 6 hrs 4 of my friends were caught in it and died .Saving money and losing lives !!!
...
Why would people want to disable them ?
And even it's exiting in our earth... Gorgeous...
cute lil seals :D
The weirdest thing about Clipperton Island to me is the actual horror story that happened there and wasn't mentioned in the video.
I wondered ... WHAT HAPPENED?
Hans Island in between Canada and Greenland. I think we finally came to an agreement as to who owns it.
ther is an Agreement between Canada, Denmark, and Greenland about it
@@wanderlust-discovermore2637 wonderful!!!
Excellent video!
Canada has a 3rd order island in the Arctic ocean, just North and slightly West of Hudson's Bay.
Canada has tens of thousands of northern islands.
It's in reference to Victoria Island in Nunavut, which happens to be/on the world's largest 3rd order island. 🙄
Let man near any of it rest assured man will inevitably destroy it
Awesome!
nice👍🏻🔥
i used to sail past deer island often when my family would plan a summer sailing cruise around the 1000 islands.
Vulcan Point is currently under dispute because of the ongoing activity in the Taal volcano, ever since it erupted in January 2020.
Is it the same?
@@michaelbraun6542 Yeah, just without vegetation
Palmyra Atoll is really strange
Yeah, I loved it!
The best is Croatia's heart-shaped island. Taking a pic with a drone is romantic!
Even though the Whiskey Wars are over, Hans Island is a hilarious little anecdote on Canada-Denmark relations
so many stories, so cool
Wow I love your hairstyle, beautiful hair color . How long have you been keeping this beautiful hairstyle.
No mention of Gilligans. Has to be the strangest island. Could build a car out of bamboo, but cannot fix a hole in a boat.
😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝
And there were japanese soldiers and cannibals!
Johnston Atoll. Worked there for 10 years.
Thats incredible what a dream
Good video! However, one question. Did you sneeze & glitch on 13?
3:15 There are no glaciers or snow to form 'meltwater' in the Philippines. The crater lake *used to be* filled with water because this is a rainforest climate. In 2020, a series of eruptions stripped away most of the vegetation in addition to draining the lake. Facts matter.
I must say I spent the last few minutes with my hand over my mouth with the biggest smile of nervous joy 😂 😬 😅
Why???🤔
Chris k a n e promised me it was only going to be a 3-hour tour.
I swear that's what the skipper said! 🙄
You are nobody's Gilligan my friend
Funny
@@MrRGB2 I try
For an uncharted desert isle?
Love the video !!! Thanks for the upload!!!
Buen documental
vulcan point is no longer there. it has been obliterated since the 2020 eruption of Taal.
Doll Island would leave me emotionally scarred.
MASHAALLAH khub valo video.....
If you do another of these lists, you should include Ship Island, off the coast of Mississippi. Not only does it include an old Civil War fort that gives visitors free reign to investigate, but it also includes "Camille Cut." The island was literally cut in two by Hurrican Camille. Apparently sharks like to hang out there. When we went out there when I was in Marine Biology, we were told to avoid that area!
Surprising that you didn’t include North Sentinel Island.
Especially because of the tribe, hope they continue ban on peopIe entering as most would manipulate island.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the super thanks! From the Top Fives team
Narrator sounds like Casey Kasem relation
Doll island, easter island and snake island are strangiest islands in the world. 🏝
I'm so glad snake island is only open to researchers! Just seeing pictures of it gives me nightmares!
North Sentinel
And Pig Island, Island of the swimming pigs! 🐷 lol
There's also a Snake Island in Massachusetts. It's in Boston Harbor and was once used as a camp for clam shuckers and lobstermen.
Whats the music for the peruvian island? It’s so fantasy like!❤
You forgot ometepe island prob one of the largest volcanic islands on a lake and definitely the biggest island on lake with 2 twin volcanoes one of the volcanoes also has a crater lake
It would be nice to watch a documentary where we are allowed to see what the narrator is talking about and not just a lot whacky camera games and clever editing.
I did not know about Sable Island (Sable means Sand in french). Thank you
I'm grateful for not moving to Dubai. Philadelphia USA
Oh, Nice, genial
I' would love to live on one of those deserted islands. If I ever heard there was a caretakers position on any of the warm ones I would go there without a second thought and never leave. As long as there was supplies dropped off. With a hard drive full of new movies and TV shows. Though with Starlink...
Same. I wish the same thing. but dont you wonder if u will get tired at some point?
Why depend on someone else to provide you with you're dream and do you think if you're living your dream you still need endless entertainment and supplies 🤷♂️🤷♂️ you might find living in true happiness you don't need all of these modern "necessities"
Did you know if you were born on the Palmyra Atoll you are still classed as a US citizen but you can have a status that you were born on a US outlying island meaning you can travel to the US without having to us a passport. But only problem is you'll need an identity of some sort.
Thank you for mentioning our beautiful Taal Volcano: th-cam.com/video/EdoZMurKQJA/w-d-xo.html
You mean like every other person?
The pigs on the pig island are so cute I hope they get properly taken care of :(
Who cares haha
18:10 Best part.
The pigs on that island are not Ferrel pigs. You can tell by the body shape and the color of their hides. It only takes 4-6 generations of hogs inbreeding without human intervention to develop longer snouts, hairier bodies, more slender bodies and distinctly brownish coats. Especially the pig with the black/grey spot on its butt - that is a cross bred pig between one of the white breeds Yorkshire/Landrace/Chest White and a Hampshire. There may have been pigs left behind by sailors in the past, but someone is planting new, commercial hogs on the island to feed the interest of the tourists.
This makes so much sense I was confused looking at them
I may never look at a pork chop the same way again!
But they’re still “feral”. That how you define the word - animals that were once domesticated but are now living in the wild.
You could have just googled "feral" instead of writing a whole paragraph. If those pigs on the island aren't being tended to by a farmer then they are simply "feral" by definition even the very day they are dropped off there.
@@Nygaard2 They may be 'feral' by the dictionary, but these animals are getting taken care of by some human other than the tourist. I've raised a lot of pigs, and helped a number of farmers. Pigs don't look like this unless they are being fed a balanced diet. Pigs living on foraged food have an entirely different look.
That all said, it is a nice treat for the tourist and the truth would do them no good. That the pigs aren't truly wild makes it much safer for the inexperienced to be near them.
The section that mentioned seals, showed sea lions.
My favorite was Vulcan Point in the Philippines!
Las islas son maravillosos sitios para uno disfruta 🎉
Nova Scotian here. Sable Island 👏
Tasmania should be on this list.
I made three islands. No, not in the ocean, but in a creek on my land. That's how much I love em. Lol
I was waiting for "centipede crawling on my face while I'm sleeping "
My friends dad got bit my one of those pigs in the Bahamas and had to get stitches lol, don't get too close!
if you had some links for google maps, that would have been real cool.
Lake Taal is not the largest crater lake in the world. That distinction goes to Lake Toba on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It has an island in the middle of it that is larger than Singapore. Very beautiful and historically mega important place.
Lake Toba is not a crater lake, it is a volcanic lake. Lake Toba is not a lake within the crater rim, the crater simply lies below the lake.
Lake Taupo in New Zealand may have contention but online resources state Lake Taal as being the largest.
+1
Lake Megisba (Toba) In Taprobane (Suvarnadripa/Serendip/Havilah/Sumatra) was largest Crater volcanic Lake in the world even the size shrinking from Greeco-Roman times .
Oh I did not know that
@@ItsMe-oi9dy have you ever been to Lake Toba? It’s definitely within the crater rim, bud.
@@alexbaum2204 You should try some comprehension. You don't need to have been somewhere to see it or read about it in credible resources.
Incredible pronunciation for Snake Island! I had to stop the video to let you know.
Figured North Sentinel island would've been on here.
He did a separate video of that
অসাধারণ
Beautiful music at 9:24, what is it?
What about sand isle, off the coast of havre de grace?..🤔
You forgot Anatu.
I spent 9 months on Bora Bora 1978 1979, Ehat te uru,
No mention of it apart from photo intro, I could be mistaken ?
Those people feeding feral pigs are asking for trouble
I think those pigs are being well fed somewhere out of sight of the tourists. They all show markings of being current, commercial breeds of animals. They also don't have the thin sides of pigs that need to forage for their own food. Pigs are like Beagles, if you offer them food, they eat it like they haven't eaten for a week. Pigs are also like dogs in that they like humans and interact with them in a non aggressive way IF they don't perceive a risk to themselves (the pigs, that is).
Take a look for a recursive island in Nunavut.
Cool
Only researchers and Navy officials go to Snake Island, whose formal name is Ilha da Queimada Grande. And when it's time to ask for volunteers to go there, they refer to it as Ilha da Queimada Grande.
where is north sentinel island , india
Everyone already knows about it. Its about as mysterious as a glass of water.
Please don’t shame spirituaI
It's in an archipelago halfway between India and Sri Lanka. It's a very dangerous sea to begin with.
And I don't think the sentinalese Got their kervorkian covid shots!
