Where is the Bermuda Triangle?

The Bermuda Triangle is located off the southeastern tip of Florida in the Atlantic Ocean, roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. The area has achieved a mythical status resulting from the disappearances of dozens of ships and airplanes there.

The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil's Triangle, covers about 500,000 square miles of ocean. The legend of the Bermuda Triangle began when Christopher Columbus sailed through the area and reported that a huge flame of fire crashed into the sea there, with a strange light appearing in the distance a few weeks later. He also reported erratic compass readings in the area.
