One of the few Bermuda Triangle facts that can be confirmed is the location of the Bermuda Triangle. In fact, the location of the Bermuda Triangle is also somewhat arbitrary. There are no official borders. However, the triangle is generally assumed to go from Bermuda to Puerto Rico to Miami and back to Bermuda.
An inexplicable fact about the Bermuda Triangle is that electromagnetic compasses that normally point to the magnetic north pole, point to the true north pole when used within the Bermuda Triangle area. This phenomenon occurs only in one place other than the Bermuda Triangle: the Devil’s Sea off the east coast of Asia.
In fact, the term Bermuda Triangle was first used in an Argosy Magazine article written by Vincent H. Gaddis in 1964. Since then, several “nicknames” have emerged for the Bermuda Triangle: Limbo of the Lost. , Mar Hoodoo and even Devil’s Triangle: some coined in literature.
One fact is undeniable about the Bermuda Triangle. There have been a number of bizarre and sometimes inexplicable disappearances in the Triangle. The story of Flight 19 – a group of five Navy torpedo bombers and a search plane disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle area (perhaps!) – is the most notorious of them.
However, strange events have also been observed in the Bermuda Triangle area. Even already at the crossing of the Atlantic in 1492 by Christopher Columbus, they have been recorded. Columbus logged strange events with his compass in the area that we now consider the Bermuda Triangle.
Another fact about the Bermuda Triangle that is undeniable is that the area has claimed more than 1,000 lives in the last 100 years. Some of these are the result of “human error” when navigating the area. However, suspicious or unexplained disappearances always occur in the Bermuda Triangle.
There is a wide range of knowledge surrounding the existence of the Bermuda Triangle. Some of this is due to the idea that within the Bermuda Triangle lies the lost city of Atlantis deep in the Atlantic Ocean. Off the coast of Bimini, there is a set of underwater steps that are believed to be part of that civilization. Little exploration can be done because the Bermuda Triangle includes some of the deepest trenches in the Atlantic Ocean, too deep to explore.
Today, thousands of steps are made through the Bermuda Triangle each year. Virtually all Caribbean cruises that originate from the east coast of North America pass through part of the Bermuda Triangle. Modern airplanes fly to hot spots in the Caribbean and from the southern United States to Europe via the Bermuda Triangle. Perhaps the next time you travel through the Bermuda Triangle by air or sea, will you think about the lost civilization of Atlantis and its great power?
