Ancient undersea slab keeps Bermuda afloat, study finds

Scientists used more than two decades of seismic data to map Bermuda’s subsurface and found a light, ~12-mile-thick slab of ancient rock beneath the island. Formed 30–35 million years ago, this slab floats under the crust and keeps Bermuda elevated above the sea without current volcanism, explaining the island’s buoyancy and challenging the classic mantle plume model. The findings tie Bermuda’s uplift to broader mantle convection processes and link to the region’s gravity and magnetic anomalies around the Bermuda Rise.

Scientist Claims to Have Solved the Bermuda Triangle Mystery

Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki and organizations like NOAA argue that the Bermuda Triangle's reputation for mysterious disappearances is unfounded, attributing incidents to natural weather phenomena and human error rather than supernatural causes or conspiracy theories, emphasizing that the area experiences similar risks as other busy maritime regions.

"Hurricane Franklin: From High Surf to Dangerous Rip Currents"

Hurricane Franklin is expected to become a major hurricane on Monday as it strengthens in the Bermuda Triangle. While it will remain well off the U.S. East Coast, it will generate high surf and rip currents, posing a threat to beachgoers. There is also a possibility that Franklin could track close to Bermuda, potentially bringing stronger winds, heavy rain, and coastal flooding to the archipelago. Interests in Bermuda should closely monitor the forecast and be prepared.

Mystery surrounds Cameron Robbins' disappearance in Bermuda Triangle waters.

Louisiana teen Cameron Robbins vanished after jumping off a “pirate ship” in the waters off Athol Island in the Bahamas just north of its capital, Nassau, on May 24. The waters where he disappeared are within the Bermuda Triangle, a notorious region where countless people, ships, and planes have mysteriously disappeared. The US Coast Guard spent days looking for any sign of Robbins, but the search was called off after finding no trace of him or his possessions. The Bermuda Triangle is a notoriously difficult area to navigate, with rough seas and a number of extreme weather patterns. Despite numerous theories, official bodies insist there is nothing unusual about the Bermuda Triangle and it remains a high-traffic area of vessels and planes.

Solving the Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle: Scientist's Answer.

Australian scientist Karl Kruszelnicki has claimed that the mystery behind the Bermuda Triangle is a matter of "probabilities" and not supernatural explanations. He believes that human error and poor weather conditions are likely behind all the disappearances that have contributed to the superstition associated with the Bermuda Triangle. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) also maintains this position, stating that there is no evidence that mysterious disappearances occur with any greater frequency in the Bermuda Triangle than in any other large, well-traveled area of the ocean.
