Elliðaey Island, Iceland
Even if you consider yourself an introvert, are you sufficiently introverted to live in the loneliest house on Earth? This abandoned house was formerly a hunting lodge and is situated on Elliaey Island, close off the southern coast of Iceland. On the island, there is also a dilapidated storage structure that was once employed by scientists. What, then, makes this location hazardous? Well, let’s just say that if you have the misfortune of falling and breaking your leg, good luck going to a doctor.

Sutyagin House, Russia
The Sutyagin House was built over a 15-year period starting in 1992 by Russian mafia boss Nikolai Petrovich Sutyagin of Arkhangelsk. The Sutyagin family continued to add floors until they reached 13, making the house the highest wooden house in the world. Mind you, this was done without any type of building permission or actual designs. The building was demolished after being deemed a fire threat by the city authorities in 2008. But let’s face it, it’s probably for the best that way.
