The key to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle might be thousands of kilometers north in the Barents Sea.
Specifically, huge craters recently discovered at the bottom of the sea in northern Norway and Russia.
So says a team of scientists at the University of the Arctic Norway, who is investigating the find.

The craters are more than 800 meters in diameter and have a depth of 45 meters.
“Existen múltiples cráteres gigantes en el fondo marino de la zona occidental-central del mar de Barents y son probablemente la causa de unas enormes explosiones de gas”, the team said in a statement.
“Es probable que esta zona de cráteres sea uno de los mayores puntos de fuga de metano marino en el Ártico”He added.

Agua hirviendo
Experts give more details on findings in April at the annual conference of the European Geosciences Union.
Although already they advanced that the craters explain reports of several local fishermen who claim to have seen bubbles in the sea, as if the water was boiling, for no apparent reason.

And at the conference also address the risks that these explosions pose for navigation, and how they could be the explanation to the sinking of ships in the area.

The latter possibility and put on the table the Russian scientist Igor Yelstov last year, but this time referred to the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

Trofimuk Institute investigator said several theories suggest that the disappearances of ships in that area of ​​the Atlantic Ocean between Miami, Puerto Rico and Bermuda islands could be due to the reaction of gas hydrates -hielo con gas encerrado en su estructura molecular- The seabed.

According to the expert, this reaction occurs like an avalanche, producing large amounts of gas.
“Esto hace que el océano se caliente y los barcos se hundan en unas aguas con una gran cantidad de gas”, he explained to British newspaper The Sunday Times.

And according to the expert, if the theory of methane as some were proved, it would also explain the disappearance of planes in the Bermuda Triangle.

¿Mystery or myth?
Whatever the case, further investigations on the alleged mystery conclude that it is not true that in that area delimited by the imaginary equilateral triangle-shaped area sinking more ships than in other areas.

Why sink ships in the Bermuda Triangle?

For example, a study commissioned in 2013 by the for international environmental organization Fund World Wide Nature (WWF) found that areas most dangerous waters in the world are found in the South Sea China, the Mediterranean and the North Sea.

The Bermuda Triangle is not even among the top ten of the list, although it is one of the busiest sea lanes in the world.

And several theories, such as the anomalies that supposedly recorded magnetic compasses to enter the area, do not provide evidence to support the bad reputation it has acquired the Triangle in the past.
There have not been registered sinkings of ships since 1967.
