📍 Bermuda Triangle, Atlantic Ocean
Welcome to the Bermuda Triangle
Where ships and planes vanish — or do they?
The Bermuda Triangle covers roughly 500,000 square miles of open ocean between Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Since the term was first coined by author Vincent Gaddis in a 1964 magazine article, this patch of sea has become the world's most famous zone of mystery.
Hundreds of ships and planes are said to have vanished here without a trace — from five Navy torpedo bombers in 1945 to a 542-foot cargo ship carrying 306 souls in 1918. But is the Triangle truly more dangerous than any other stretch of ocean?
NOAA says no. Lloyd's of London doesn't even charge higher insurance rates for ships passing through. So what's really going on? Let's investigate the science, the history, and the myths to separate fact from fiction.
