The Bermuda Triangle is a loosely defined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean. Its three generally accepted corners are Miami (Florida, USA), Bermuda (a British Overseas Territory), and San Juan (Puerto Rico). The area covered by the Bermuda Triangle varies in different accounts but generally ranges between 500,000 to 1,500,000 square miles. It is known for being a heavily trafficked shipping and air traffic lane. Geographically, the Bermuda Triangle is bounded by the southeastern coast of the U.S., the island of Bermuda, and the Greater Antilles, including Puerto Rico. Despite its notoriety for mysterious disappearances, the Bermuda Triangle is not officially recognized on maps and is considered safe by modern standards. It is also associated with the powerful Gulf Stream ocean current, which can significantly affect weather conditions in the region.
