Located approximately 400 miles from Myanmar, the North Sentinel Island is not only remote, but also quite dangerous. The danger is not necessarily represented by the hazardous reefs that surround the island, but rather, by its inhabitants. The population living on the island like to keep their isolation from civilization and have been known to be rather aggressive to those who have tried to disturb their peace.
