The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle Has Been Solved

The Bermuda Triangle (also known as the "Devil's Triangle") has become a legend, arousing both curiosity and fear around the world, due to the countless paranormal events that have occurred there. Recently, scientists claim to have discovered the secrets of this infamous area.

The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean, surrounding the east coast of the U.S. state of Florida and Puerto Rico. Part of the triangle also extends into the neighboring state of South Carolina. The name Bermuda comes from the fact that it was first discovered by the Spanish admiral Huan Bermuda in 1503.

Overall, the Bermuda Triangle is a sunny, windy area with no distinct seasons. It is one of only two places on Earth where a compass will not point true north. Many people even say that the laws of physics do not apply there.

The Bermuda Triangle is nicknamed the "Devil's Triangle" primarily because of the mysterious disappearances that have occurred here. Statistics show that more than 100 planes and ships have been mysteriously "swallowed" without a trace in the area.

Christopher Columbus, the famous Italian sea explorer, also wrote a chilling diary entry about his journey through the Devil's Triangle in 1492, with unusual deviations in navigational instruments, strange lights on the horizon and "a huge flame" plunging from above into the sea.

Many documentaries have been made and shown investigating the famous "Devil's Triangle" with countless events, hypotheses, mysteries and legends, but no explanation has been widely accepted. However, recently, scientists have discovered giant holes at the bottom of the Barents Sea, which are believed to be the key to solving the mystery of the Bermuda "Devil's Triangle".

According to the research report, experts from the Arctic University of Norway discovered many holes measuring up to 800 meters wide and nearly 45 meters deep on the central seabed, slightly to the west of the Barents Sea. These giant holes on the seabed are believed to have been formed by the accumulation of methane gas off the coast of Norway - a country rich in natural gas.

Leaking methane gas from natural gas deposits deep below the surface may have created cavities that eventually ignited on the seabed. Experts say these types of gas explosions, which cause craters to expand, are likely to pose a risk to shipping in the Barents Sea. And that could explain the mysterious disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda Triangle.

Last year, Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov, deputy director of the Trofimuk Institute, stated: "One explanation is that the Bermuda Triangle was formed by reactions of gas hydrates (also known as flammable ice). These reactions quickly destroy the flammable ice, releasing gas. The reaction occurs at a speed as fast as an avalanche, like in a nuclear reaction, and produces a huge amount of gas. It causes the ocean to heat up and ships to sink because the sea water is mixed with a huge amount of gas."

Combustible ice is essentially frozen water with a lot of gas molecules inside, mainly methane. It exists in permafrost regions such as northern Siberia and at the bottom of some of the world’s oceans. Reactions of the combustible ice can release huge amounts of methane and cause air turbulence, which could cause planes to crash, Yeltsov added.
