Underwater Craters Could Explain The Unsolved Disappearance Of Ships In Bermuda Triangle

The scientists from Arctic University in Norway have discovered multiple giant underwater craters on the bottom of the Barents Sea in the Arctic. This may uncover the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle.

According to the scientists, the underwater craters on the Barents Sea extend up to 800 meters (2,624 feet) wide and 45 meters (147 feet) deep. They thought that these underwater craters were shaped by the building up of methane in sediments on the sea floor. They explained that the methane would have seeped from deposits of natural gas further below the surface. This formed cavities which finally burst, according to Daily Mail.

The researchers said that multiple giant craters exist on the sea floor in an area in the west-central Barents Sea. These are probably a cause of enormous blowouts of gas. They further said that the crater area is likely to represent one of the biggest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic. They added that the explosions causing the craters to open up could potentially create risks to vessels travelling on the Barents Sea.

Igor Yelstov from the Trofimuk Institute and a Russian scientist stated that some theories that the Bermuda Triangle is the result of gas hydrate reactions. He further said that the craters start to actively decompose with methane ice transforming into gas. He explained that the process occurs the same way that avalanches strike and like a nuclear reaction that produces huge amounts of gas as noted by Tech Times.

"That makes the ocean heat up and ships sink in its waters mixed with a huge proportion of gas," said Yelstov.

In regards to the mysterious plane crashes, the Bermuda Attractions stated that a gas blowout could cause a plane flying above it to catch fire and get ruined totally.

The coast of Norway is rich in natural gas. With this, the study and the findings at the Barents Sea are not startling. The study indicates that there may be underwater craters below the Bermuda Triangle.

The Bermuda Triangle is also referred to as the Devil's Triangle. It was stated from the article of Vincent Gaddis in the pulp magazine Argosy; the three vertices of the Bermuda triangle are in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Miami, Florida and in the mid-Atlantic island of Bermuda. It has an area from 1,300,000 to 3,900,000 square kilometers. It is reported that many aircraft and ships vanished in the triangle under mysterious circumstances.
