In the wild North Atlantic, off the East Coast of Nova Scotia, lies a 40-kilometer strip of sandbar named Sable Island. Notoriously known as the 'graveyard of the North Atlantic?, this tiny island and its surrounding waters have engulfed more than 350 ships since the late 1500s. On the desolate coastline, more than 4000 dead seals have been found ashore since the 1990s. (Credit: Ashley Harnden)

Situated in the estuary of the River Medway in Kent, United Kingdom is a tiny islet named Deadman's Island. Though the island is now an off-limit nature paradise for birds nesting and breeding, visitors arriving at this wildlife preserve are greeted with a macabre scene: the muddy marshland is strewn with human skulls, teeth, and exposed coffins.
