18 Forbidden Places | Mental Floss

Do you know about the island that's off-limits because of its deadly snake population? Or the impenetrable vault that supposedly holds the secret Coca-Cola recipe? This episode of The List Show is all about Forbidden Places that humans are strictly barred from visiting. Some are forbidden to protect secrets, and others are forbidden to protect humans from an unseemly fate. Erin (@erincmccarthy) is here to help you explore all the places in the world that you can't explore in person. If you've ever wondered how close you can get to the Chernobyl reactor site, you're in the right place. In case you forgot, The List Show is a trivia-tastic, fact-filled show for curious people.
