There are few Bermuda Triangle Facts that can be confirmed as facts!
One of the few Bermuda Triangle Facts that can be
confirmed is the Bermuda Triangle location. In fact, the location of the
Bermuda Triangle is somewhat arbitrary as well. There are no official
boundaries. However, the triangle is generally assumed to run from Bermuda
to Puerto Rico to Miami and back to Bermuda.
A fact that is unexplained about the Bermuda Triangle is that
electro-magnetic compasses that normally point to the magnetic north pole,
point to the true north pole when used inside the area of the Bermuda
Triangle. This phenomena happens in only one place other than the Bermuda
Triangle - the Devil's Sea off the east coast of Asia.
The term Bermuda Triangle was in fact first used in an Argosy Magazine
article written by Vincent H. Gaddis in 1964. Since that time, a number of
"nicknames" have immerged for the Bermuda Triangle - Limbo of the Lost,
Hoodoo Sea, and even Devil's Triangle - some coined in literature.
One fact is undeniable about the Bermuda Triangle. There have been a number
of strange and sometimes unexplained disappearances in the Triangle. The
tale of Flight 19 - a group of five Navy torpedo bombers and one search
plane disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle area (perhaps!) - is the most
notorious of these.
However, there have been strange occurrences observed in the area of the
Bermuda Triangle as well. Even as far back as the 1492 crossing of the
Atlantic by Christopher Columbus, these have been recorded. Columbus
documented in his logs of strange occurrences 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 over 1,000 lives in the past 100 years. Some of these are a
result of "human error" in navigating the area. However there are always
suspicious or unexplained disappearances happening in the Bermuda Triangle.
There is a vast array of lore surrounding the existence of the Bermuda
Triangle. Some of this stems from the idea that with-in the Bermuda Triangle
lies the lost city of Atlantis in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. Off the
coast of Bimini, there is a set of underwater steps 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 - much
too deep to explore.
Today, thousands of passages are made through the Bermuda Triangle every
year. Virtually every Caribbean cruise originating from the east coast of
North America passes through part of the Bermuda Triangle. Modern planes fly
to the Caribbean hotspots and from southern United States to Europe through
the Bermuda Triangle. Perhaps the next time you travel through the Bermuda
Triangle by air or sea you will think of the lost civilization of Atlantis
and her mighty power.
