17 – North Sentinel Island, India

--ADVERTISEMENT--

North Sentinel Island is a tiny island, part of the Andaman chain, off the coast of Myanmar. Native to the island are the Sentinelese who have lived there for over 60,000 years and are extremely opposed to outside influences and remain entirely disconnected from the modern world. For this reason, very little is known about North Sentinel Island.

Indian Authorities respect their right to complete isolation and prohibits any visitors, even to the point where they are free from laws and can kill outsiders who trespass on their land. Reportedly, an Indian Coast Guard helicopter flying nearby on reconnaissance, was shot at with arrows by natives.
