THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE, ATLANTIC OCEAN
The North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North America is known as the "Bermuda Triangle," and it is believed that 20 aircraft and more than 50 ships have mysteriously vanished. The territory, whose boundaries are up for controversy, is formed like a triangle and extends roughly from Florida's Atlantic coast to Bermuda and the islands collectively known as the Greater Antilles. The Bermuda Triangle is estimated to be between 500,000 and 1,510,000 square miles (1,300,000 to 3,900,000 square kilometers) in size. Strange phenomena have been reported in the area since the mid-nineteenth century. While some ships never transmitted a distress signal and were never seen or heard from again, others were discovered to have been completely abandoned.
