The Bermuda Triangle Contains Zero Islands

The Bermuda Triangle is a loosely defined region in the western North Atlantic Ocean, roughly bounded by Bermuda (north), Puerto Rico (south), and Miami, Florida (west).

It does not contain any islands within its interior. The vertices are islands (Bermuda, Puerto Rico) or a mainland peninsula (Florida), but the triangle's area is open ocean—home to the Puerto Rico Trench (deepest point in Atlantic), Sargasso Sea edges, and heavy shipping/flight lanes.

The "mystery" stems from sensationalized reporting of normal maritime/aviation incidents in a high-traffic, hurricane-prone, magnetically variable zone. NOAA, USCG, and insurers do not recognize it as a distinct hazard area.
