It officially belongs to the Indian Government, but is actually inherited by tribal Sentinel people. People of this dangerous tribe avoid any contact with civilization and furiously resist any interference. According to scientists they have nearly spent 60000 years there isolated from any other civilization. They are very severe when defending their territory and they are certainly going to kill any intruder. Some of their last victims were fishermen who got lost and ended up in that island, an American tourist was also killed by them in 2019, who was a missionary and tried to make contact with them. Several attempts to contact with them by the national government born no fruit, even in the time of the 2004 tsunami.

5. Zone Rouge or the Red zone of France:- The Zone Rouge is a chain of non-contiguous areas throughout north-eastern France that the French Government isolated after the First World War. The land which originally covered more than 1200 square kilometers was deemed too physically and environmentally damaged by conflict for human habitation. The Zone Rouge was defined just after the war as “Completely devastated. Damaged to properties: 100%, Damage to Agriculture: 100%. Impossible to clean. Human life Impossible.” After the war not a single house in this large area stood in it’s place, and not a single life was alive. Under French law, restrictions to go in the Zone Rouge still exists today, because of the vast amounts of human and animal dead bodies remains, and millions of items of unexploded ordnance contaminating its land.
