5 More Forbidden Islands You Are Not Allowed to Set Foot On

There are islands on this planet where the reason you can't go isn't always old history — sometimes it's still being written. Not just legend. Not just legal red tape. Islands where a family beat a government in the Supreme Court, where a myth became a Guinness World Record and fell apart under scrutiny, and where one island is sitting inside a war unfolding as this goes live. In this video we investigate 5 more forbidden islands on Earth — and the completely different reasons none of them let you in. This video covers Rockall in the North Atlantic, Palmyra Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, Niihau in Hawaii, Ramree Island in Myanmar, and Kharg Island in Iran — some of the most disputed, restricted, and dangerous locations on Earth. From a seventy-year territorial standoff to an unsolved murder, a debunked wartime legend to a live international conflict, these are the places the world still can't agree on. 0:00 Introduction 2:49 #5 Rockall, North Atlantic 5:51 #4 Palmyra Atoll, Pacific Ocean 10:06 #3 Niihau, Hawaii 13:03 #2 Ramree Island, Myanmar 15:59 #1 Kharg Island, Iran Stock footage provided by Storyblocks and Pexels. #forbiddenplaces #geography #documentary #forbiddenislands #rockall #palmyra #niihau #ramreeisland #khargisland #restrictedzones #documentaryfilm ------ Anomalous investigates the places the world would rather you didn't know about — forbidden islands, abandoned territories, places where no rules apply, and the geography that exists beyond the reach of governments and maps.
