Scientists Present New Theory on the Riddle of the Bermuda Triangle


While these craters aren’t located in the Bermuda Triangle, scientists believe this could explain the loss of ships and aircrafts in the controversial area.

‘Multiple giant craters exist on the sea floor in an area in the west-central Barents Sea … and are probably a cause of enormous blowouts of gas,’ said researchers from the Arctic University of Norway told the Sunday Times.

‘The crater area is likely to represent one of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic.’

The explosions causing the craters to open up could potentially pose risks to vessels travelling on Barents Sea, scientists say.

It could also possibly explain the loss of ships and aircraft in the controversial area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle, according to the experts.

The area stretches from the British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean to the Florida coast, to Puerto Rico.

Russian scientist Igor Yeltsov, the deputy head of the Trofimuk Institute, said last year: ‘There is a version that the Bermuda Triangle is a consequence of gas hydrates reactions.

‘They start to actively decompose with methane ice turning into gas. It happens in an avalanche-like way, like a nuclear reaction, producing huge amounts of gas.

Okay, so the theory isn’t as cool or imaginative as people would probably like, but at least it answers a question that’s been on people’s minds for several decades. Now, let’s hope these scientists tackle Sasquatch next.
