10 Riskiest Houses In The World
What’s up everyone? Welcome back to our channel. Most of us view our houses as a
sanctuary, a place where we can avoid the obligations of meeting people or doing work.
A place where we, instead, spend time alone or with our loved ones. However, there are
people who have houses that don’t guarante their safety, but may put their live in
danger, instead! Let’s check out 10 such outrageous houses!
Number Ten : Lake Kivu
This is not so much about one house, but rather any of the houses in which the two
million people who live around Africa’s lake Kivu inhabit. Lake Kivu can be considered
as one of the greatest lakes in Africa. It lies between the Democratic Republic Of Congo
and the countries of Rwanda. The lake itself is very big, making it the 18th deepest in
the world. And, what lies under lake Kivu makes it dangerous to live around it. The
locals call it Mazuku which refers to the evil wind. This evil wind is actually plain old
methane, which has been causing damage near the lake for generations. In 1994, after
the nearby houses were cloaked in a poisonous, burning white gas coming from the
lake, 37 people died. US military scientists even came to investigate and discovered
that the gas was leaking from lake Kivu. Two years later, in another eruption, 1,700
people died. The lake is said to explode once every thousand years. It’s best not to live
around lake Kivu.
Number Nine : Korowai Tree House
Having a treehouse as high as the statue of liberty sounds very horrifying. At least we
can say, though, that this amazing structure is very well built and designed to keep its
inhabitants safe from all dangers surrounding them. The treehouse is in the less
populated and mountainous island Southeastern West Papua in New Guinea. The
Korowai people connected with the outside world for the first time in the 1970s, during
Christian missionaries' exploration to the island. What they created was this surprising
architecture which protected almost 20 tribes people and their animal stock from a
forest full of giant snakes, spiders and dangerous insects. They are the only tribe in the
world now that still practices cannibalism. The treehouses are rigged with a warning
system, to keep other hungry rival tribes away from them. There has been serious
exploitation of the forest since the discovery of the tribe. Their numbers have fallen to
only 4,000, with people leaving to settle in modern cities or dying out due to the damage
done to the surrounding forest.
Number Eight : Puna Hawaii
The district of Puna on Hawaii’s big island is close to Kilauea, one of the world’s most
active volcanoes. From 1983 to 2018, the volcano was in continuous action and has
continuously been threatening people living in the vicinity. Once the lava flowed onto ten
percent of the district’s surface land, completely damaging 190 homes and
buildings.Most would think that people would not want to move into this area, especially
with lava flowing into the sea. However, the opposite happened, because of the low
property prices. In addition to an active volcano in your backyard, the geothermal power
plant, which generates power to a portion of the island, had its wells submerged with
cold water and mud in 2018. The power plant had provoked a large gas explosion, as
the emissions of sulfur dioxide hit fifteen thousand tons per day. It's simply better to
avoid living in such houses, if you don't want to see lava flow running through your
home.
Number Seven : Ellidaey Island
Iceland is a volcanic island nation in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean with a population
of only around 350,000 people. That alone is already kind of different. But for a family in
the 18th century, this was just not far enough from the masses of humanity. As a result,
they built a house on an otherwise deserted island known as Ellidaey. No doubt remains
that something greatly mysterious and fascinating about the house sitting all alone on a
tiny island. Even the Icelanders know very little about its occupants. There are several
records of people that lived there. However, since the 1930s, it's said to be unoccupied.
Life in this house would have been very difficult and dangerous, with a never-ending
struggle for food and water. It was also completely cut off from the mainland in times of
poor weather. So, is living in such a risky remote place really worth it?
Number Six : Mount Hua Chia
