Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, wasfor the tribe on Saturday.

sources told Flying Eze the can of Coke has not yet been recovered.

And it doesn't look like it will be recovered any time soon as the police .

Contacting isolated tribes can be extremely dangerous due to their lack of immunity to common diseases in the outside world.

And it could even risk leading to devastating epidemics by transmitting a new kind of bug from them to the rest of the planet.

Polyakov's reckless actions have been slammed for putting the safety of the Sentilese people at risk.

The director of indigenous rights group Survival International, Caroline Pearce, said: “It beggars belief that someone could be that reckless and idiotic.

“This person’s actions not only endangered his own life, they put the lives of the entire Sentinelese tribe at risk.

“It’s very well known by now that uncontacted peoples have no immunity to common outside diseases like flu or measles, which could completely wipe them out.”;

Polyakov set off on the irresponsible mission at 1am on Saturday from Kurma Dera Beach – with the killer can in hand.

The US tourist travelled in an inflatable dingy complete with a make-shift motor and GPS.

He reached the northeastern shore of the island nine hours later, at around 10am.

From here, he scanned the area using binoculars.

He then landed on the island for about five minutes, giving him just enough time to deliver his bizarre offerings.

The YouTuber also collected sand samples and recorded a video on his GoPro before leaving on his boat.

Go Pro footage apparently depicted him “claiming unofficial representation of the US”.

Polyakov remained near the island for another hour, blowing a whistle repeatedly in a crazed attempt to attract attention, but no one responded.

He began his return journey at 1pm, and returned to Kurma Dera Beach by 7pm where he was spotted by local fisherman who alerted the cops.

and seized his binoculars, Go Pro and life jacket, among other items in his room at The Andaman Sunset View hotel.

Police sources told Flying Eze that they are currently examining the GoPro footage so cannot share it.

Not much is known about the island or how the Sentilese people live.

The island is located in ‘s remote Andaman and Nicobar chain.

And anthropologists estimate that there could be anywhere between 50 to 100 people who live on the island.

The Sentinelese are a community of hunter-gatherers who live there isolated from the outside world.

According to multiple reports, they carry bows and arrows, as well as spears and knives.

They do not welcome unwanted visitors and will kill them if they get too close.

The idiotic tourist triggered an “ecological crisis” and left scientists scrambling to undo the damage.

The Carlsbad Caverns National Park claimed the bag and its contents created a “huge impact” on the cave's ecosystem.

A statement of said: “At the scale of human perspective, a spilled snack bag may seem trivial, but to the life of the cave it can be world changing.

“The processed corn, softened by the humidity of the cave, formed the perfect environment to host microbial life and fungi.

“Cave crickets, mites, spiders and flies soon organize into a temporary food web, dispersing the nutrients to the surrounding cave and formations.

“Molds spread higher up the nearby surfaces, fruit, die and stink. And the cycle continues.”

Eating and drinking anything other than plain water is not permitted as it disrupts the ecosystem and attracts animals into the cavern.
