your nominations?
what I'm looking for is nominate one location because of the threat from natural plants and animals and a second location because of the potential for danger from the human population (can be any society rural or urban) let's measure danger from the perspective of the average Westerner (US, Europe, Oz etc). Must be land. Do not consider geography, terrain, weather as factors (i.e., we know humans can't live in volcanos etc). Disease is fair game Where are the most dangerous in the world? |

Plants/animals/insects = Northern Territories of Australia
Humans = The Iron Triangle of Richmond, CA. after dark. |
|
Plants and animals - Australia
People - North Sentinel Island Fuck that place |

Caracas has a murder rate of 120/100k.
...and private ownership of firearms is completely illegal. |
|
|
anyplace where the majority of lifeforms regard you as a prey item.

Pick a shithole in Africa. If the AIDS riddled cannibal kings and queens don't kill you, the crocs, cats and mosquitos will.
Although the Sundurbans is probably a close second. |
|
Bangladesh.
It is a veritable salad bar of potential disasters. Earthquake prone Tsunamis Floods Erosion Overpopulated Low elevation Disease ridden Poor Frickin' tigers Soils prone to liquefaction |

Eastern DRC. Ebola, Tsetse fly, volcanoes, very violent rebels, criminal gangs, malaria, among other factors.
ETA: HKUSP45C beat me to it. |

Snake island...estimated one pit viper per square meter. |

More specifically, Namibia. Very inhospitable. If you do find water, it's going to give you some worse-than-dysentery causing parasite that is also infected with aids. |

Africa and Africa. Africa always wins. More specifically, Namibia. Very inhospitable. If you do find water, it's going to give you some worse-than-dysentery causing parasite that is also infected with aids. Namibia isn't that bad, it is tough unforgiving terrain but manageable with proper planning. I would pick Somalia or DRC as much worse places in Africa for both categories. |

Lake Kivu in the DRC\Rwanda gets my vote. View Quote Isn't that the volcanic lake that periodically pukes out deadly gasses from time to time? I was going to say about anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa (malaria, hippos, large carnivores) for the "flora/fauna" category, but I guess your lake region would be tops. "man" category....anywhere Islam borders a population it wants to "assimilate". I recall reading a report twenty years ago that over 80% of all deadly conflicts, at any given time, had muslims on one side or both. Probably higher now. |

It's also conveniently located in the DRC which is one of the few places on Earth you are just about guaranteed to be raped, killed and eaten (not, necessarily, in that order) for being white and drawing breath by an alarmingly significant portion of the local humans. |

India has been making a solid run at absurd death rates due to disease and murder/warring factions. India also has tigers, cobras, elephants, landslides, mudslides, avalanches, tropical cyclones, tidal waves, and floods.

Being white is actually safer than being black in Goma and the surrounding area. If you kill a white person, then that brings attention to your group. You wipe out a village, and no one gives a shit. |

Point taken. However "safer" is a weirdly relative term in the DRC |

I suspect the correct answer may vary by person.
I would not thrive in Papua New Guinea. |
