The Bermuda Triangle / The Alaska Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle, a stretch of the Atlantic Ocean running between Puerto Rico, Bermuda, and Miami has been credited with the deaths and disappearances of over 8,000 lives since the mid-19th century. Though the exact number is not known, at least 50 ships and 20 airplanes have disappeared in the Triangle — often without a trace. The Bermuda Triangle has become the subject of endless legends, myths, and conspiracies. We're breaking down some of the biggest ones.

The border of the Alaskan Triangle stretches from Utkiagaviq (formerly known as Barrow) on the state's north coast to Anchorage and to Juneau across the southern coast and includes vast areas of largely unexplored wilderness. Sprawling forests, icy mountain peaks, and desolate tundras are clearly not the safest places in the world, but of the hundreds of search-and-rescue missions conducted every year, state troopers rarely find any trace of bodies — dead or alive.
