BERMUDA TRIANGLEBERMUDA TRIANGLE

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's
Triangle, is an undefined region in the western part
of the North Atlantic Ocean, where a number of
aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared
under mysterious circumstances. According to
the US Navy, the triangle does not exist, and the
name is not recognized by the
US Board on Geographic Names. Popular culture
has attributed various disappearances to the
paranormal or activity by extraterrestrial beings
. Documented evidence indicates that a significant
percentage of the incidents were spurious,
inaccurately reported, or embellished by later
authors. In a 2013 study, the Nature identified the
world’s 10 most dangerous waters for shipping,
but the Bermuda Triangle was not among them .

• Scientific explanations
• Compass variations
• Compass problems are one of the cited phrases in
many Triangle incidents. While some have
theorized that unusual local magnetic anomalies
may exist in the area such anomalies have not
been found. Compasses have natural
magnetic variations in relation to the magnetic, a
fact which navigators have known for centuries.
Magnetic (compass) north and
geographic (true) north are only exactly the same
for a small number of places – for example, as of
2000 in the United States only those place on a
line running from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico
. But the public may not be as informed, and think
there is something mysterious about a compass
"changing" across an area as large as the
