Most Dangerous Places suitable for Daredevils - Part 1
## Shark infested beaches, swirling water ten meters in diameter, frozen roads, caves that catch the divers and mountains killer.
## We review some of the most beautiful and dangerous natural places of our planet. In these destinations be too careful.

# Saltstraumen (Norway): the most powerful swirls
## Can you imagine whirlpools in the sea up to ten meters in diameter and five deep? Although it may seem exaggerated, there. We talk about Saltstraumen, the strongest currents in the world.

## Located 33 kilometers from the Norwegian city of Bodø, near the famous Lofoten Islands, these swirls are a show of force of nature. When the tide rises, they are even more daunting.

# James Dalton Highway (Alaska): the icy road
## The Alaska Route 11, better known as James Dalton Highway, is one of the most dangerous roads in the world. With a length of 667 kilometers, this road crosses one of the most isolated areas of the country, near the Arctic.

## Low temperatures, ice and poor visibility caused by blizzards makes drivers who dare to cross it especially truckers- are some real experts on the tundra. Here to drive becomes a risky sport.

# Devil's Pool (Zambia): a wild dip and risky
## Ready for a wild and risky dip? We traveled to Victoria Falls in Africa, to discover the most dangerous natural pool: Devil's Pool, there is a pool carved into the rock on the edge of the falls.

## At this point, the Zambezi River rushes violently over a hundred meters high. A natural rock wall underwater protects bathers from being washed away when the water level is low.

# Rock Kjerag (Norway): a rock hanging 1,000 meters high
## We returned to Norway to talk about another daunting and dangerous place: the Rock Kjerag. Wedged between two completely vertical walls, the rock is hanging at 1,000 meters above the Lysefjord.

## It is usual to see tourists take pictures posing on it. Many were even notice a tremor in the legs while thinking 'do not look down, do not look down'. A challenge to vertigo.

# Bridge Hussaini (Pakistan): The world's most dangerous
## Hussaini Hanging Bridge is one of the most dangerous in the world. Simply an image to be convinced of this. Cross this walkway high above the River Hunza, northern Pakistan, it is an adventure in the style Indiana Jones.

## The bridge, surrounded by the mountain ranges of the Himalayas and the Karkorams, is very old and poorly maintained, the missing wooden boards is a danger. A misstep can make us fall into the water. Of course, the views from the bridge are a treat to behold.

# Rock Preikestolen (Norway): a fatal fall of 604 meters.

## Located in the Lyse Fjord in Norway, this projection has a drop of 604 meters. Care to look out, there are no barriers or fences to protect from a deadly fall.

# Blue Hole (Belize): a magnet for the bravest divers
## In the Caribbean Sea in Belize there is a place that is a magnet for the bravest divers. We talk about Blue Hole. A huge blue hole of 305 meters in diameter and 123 meters deep,formed a cave system in the Ice Age. Now they are underwater caves of vertical walls whose beauty holds great danger for divers who do not take precautions.

## To reach the entrance to the cave must descend at least 34 meters. At that depth, the diver has only a few minutes before the air he breathe become dangerous by high levels of nitrogen accumulates in the blood.

# Lake Nyos (Cameroon): explosive lake
## "Monstrous," "explosive", "murderer" ... no is worse epithets that used to describe the Lake Nyos, one of the most dangerous on the planet. Located in Cameroon, this volcanic lake was the cause of the most serious limnic eruption in recorded history.

## In 1986, an explosion of carbon dioxide killed about 1,800 people and 6,000 cattle. Lake exploded like a bomb.

# Trollstigen (Norway): Ladder trolls
## Trollstigen, also known as the 'Ladder of the trolls' is a dizzying road (literally) located in Norway. Included in the ranking of the most dangerous, inclination of 9% and its dangerous curves 180 degrees on almost vertical slopes are able to put the willies the most experienced driver.

## The beauty of the place and the ability of engineers to build this road Trollstigen make a tourist attraction in itself. During his tour there are several vantage points from which to enjoy this zigzag drawn on the stunning fjords.
