  1. The Bermuda Triangle

  2. The location of the Bermuda triangle

  3. The Location of the West Indies and the Bermuda Triangle

  4. Christopher Columbus In 1492 Christopher Columbus was on hisfamous journey, which would eventuallylead him to the West Indies. He noted thatthe ships compass was acting strangely and giving inaccurate readings in the SargassoSea, and at one point he saw a frat hall Offire shoot across the sky and crash into thesea.

  7. What did people think about the Bermuda Triangle in the past? There are many bizarre and mysterious situations that we cannot prove or disprove. Could they be right? Anything is possible

  8. Perhaps UFOs are the cause

  9. Or the “monsters”?

  10. It could be……?

  12. Magnetism related to Bermuda Triangle In the Bermuda Triangle, wheremagneticnorth and true north actually match, navigators have to remember not to compensate. Otherwise you will wind off course in the middle of the ocean!

  13. Compass Malfunctions • In almost every account of the mystery surrounding the Bermuda Triangle, you'll see reference to the fact that it is one of only two places on Earth (the other being the Devil's Sea off the coast of Japan) where a compass points to true north rather than magnetic north. Theorists say that this causes compasses to malfunction and ships and planes to get off-course. • A compass works because its magnetic needle is attracted by the magnetism of the Earth, which draws it to point to the constantly shifting Magnetic North Pole. The Geographic North Pole, on the other hand, is static and is located about 1200 miles north of the Magnetic Pole. The variation between the two readings is known as magnetic declination (or compass variation), which can change by as much as 20 degrees as you move across the globe.
