Bermuda Triangle

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia | Date: 2007

Triangular section of the North Atlantic Ocean whose boundaries are usually said to be Bermuda, the southern U.S. coast, and the Greater Antilles. The region attracted international attention after numerous planes and ships were said to have mysteriously disappeared there. Reports of unnatural occurrences were popularized, but by the late 20th century much of the myth surrounding the Bermuda Triangle had been dispelled.
