Bermuda Triangle Map and Location

Bermuda Triangle Map and Location

The Bermuda triangle is located off the South-Eastern coast of United States in the Atlantic Ocean. As you can see in the map below, the area is bounded by Miami (in Florida, USA), San Juan (in Puerto Rico), and the north-Atlantic island Bermuda.

The triangle has been named after its Bermuda corner because Bermuda was once known as the 'Isle of the Devils'.

This is the most popular definition of the triangle location as per most writers and researchers. Each side of the triangle is some 1000 miles long.

The area of the Bermuda triangle has varied from one writer to the other. By the various definitions, it can be anywhere between half million to 1.5 million square miles.

Why such variations? Because some writers say that the boundaries of the Bermuda triangle also covers the straits of Florida, the Bahamas and the entire Caribbean islands. And some have added Azores and Gulf of Mexico to it.

There are some authors including the sensational writer Berlitz, who had mentioned that the area really does not have an exact triangular shape.

So is there any official map of Bermuda Triangle? Unfortunately you won't find Bermuda Triangle on any official map. Why?

Because the U. S. Board of Geographic Names does not recognize the Bermuda Triangle and does not maintain an official file on it. US Navy too does not recognize the triangle. So if you are sailing or flying over the Bermuda triangle, you won't know when you actually cross the line.

Since a magazine first coined the phrase Bermuda Triangle in early 1960s, the mystery has continued to attract attention. When one starts digging into these cases, there are always doubts that crop up.

In many of the cases it was found that the ships or planes that disappeared were not in the triangle area at all. Or there are other reasonable explanations for their disappearance.

Does this mean there's nothing to the claims of so many who believe in it or even had odd experiences in the Bermuda Triangle? Not necessarily. According to many, the Bermuda Triangle is a very real place where a number of ships, planes and people have disappeared with no good explanation.

Scientists have found some interesting formations on the seafloor within the Bermuda Triangle's boundaries. The ocean floor at some places suddenly drops to huge depths. In fact, some locations within the triangle has highest depths in the whole of Atlantic.

And within this area many real vessels and the people aboard them have seemingly disappeared without explanation.
