For 60,000 years those who lived on this island have killed everyone who goes there!
Bathed in the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, North Sentinel island looks like a perfect little paradise. However, any visitor who tried to land there was the target of the inhabitants arrows and lances.
Situated in the Bay of Bengal, North Sentinel is 72 km² and has been administered by India since 1947. It's home to an indigenous tribe of about 200 people, called the Sentinelese, who speak their own language and refuse to have any contact with the world outside.
This tribe arrived from Africa 60,000 years ago.
Every person who set foot on this island has either had a very close call or been killed by its inhabitants.
The most recent contact with the Sentinelese happened in 2006 when two fishermen were killed near the beaches. Since then the Indian government has decided to give up trying to visit and leave the people alone, huddled up on their island far from the rest of the world.
