The Most Dangerous Places of the World Ocean

[Music] we tend to love and value the ocean for everything it gives us fun outdoor activities romantic walks on the beach even the food on the grocery store shelves and the oxygen we breathe the ocean once created life on our planet thanks to it we live but it can take this life away way just as easily yes the ocean can be dangerous and it often is and are there some places where such dangers abound the most today you're going to find out why are the most beautiful places on the planet also the most deadly how

did one diver accidentally film his own death underwater on what beach in the US will you for sure find yourself a couple of feet away from a shark with without knowing it and why has the Cape of Good Hope deprived thousands of sailors of their last hope top 10 most dangerous places of the world ocean by the way if you love our content don't forget to like And subscribe to our channel to see more interesting content from us [Music] let's dive down into probably the most dangerous dive site in the world it's also known as

the divers cemetery and you're about to find out where such an ominous name came from off the coast of Egypt 8 km 5 Mi north of the city of dahab there is an underwater vertical cave going more than 100 m me 328 ft into the depths of the Red Sea it is not just a deep hole but a cars cave with a unique structure it starts with a shallow opening to the Sea about 6 M 20 ft deep it is called the saddle then there is a 26 M 85 ft long tunnel known as the

arch its ceiling lies much deeper 55 M 181 ft below the surface the bottom of the cave then lowers as it moves away from the shore towards the Open Sea to a depth of about 120 M 394 ft the hole itself and its surroundings are teeming with Gorgeous corals and no less beautiful reef fish in addition there is an easy way to enter the water no waves on the surface and no currents under the water it would seem to be an ideal place for diving why is it called the divers Cemetery there are no journalistic

tricks here many divers really died in this place data varies some sources claim 130 deaths between 1997 and 2012 While others give gloomier figures up to 200 victims Memorial plaques installed on the shore are an eloquent reminder that this is not a myth or an urban legend there is someone's name written on each plaque there is still no consensus on what makes the Blue Hole of the Red Sea the deadliest diving site on Earth its geological structure is not that complicated some believe that this is what has played a cruel joke on many divers less

experienced divers could have simply underestimated the treachery of this place the second point is the fact that this place is popular not only among scuba divers but also among free divers breathhold divers just because of the lack of waves and underwater currents and free diving is obviously much more dangerous than scuba diving combined all these factors have created this ominous statistic but the Blue Hole even despite its reputation continues to attract many adventurous Thrill Seekers who dive into its depths almost most daily so while some try to stay away from the Blue Hole others still

want to pass through the tunnel that has led to so many deaths the bodies of dead divers sometimes remain lying in this Rocky trap for a long time and some of these creepy scenes can even be captured by other more fortunate divers a young Russian Israeli diving instructor Yuri lipsky in 2000 filmed his own death in the blue hole with a helmet camera we will come back to this story a little later as it contains some important details but first let's talk about some things for a better understanding a place that gathers so many victims

could not do without Legends of various degrees of plausibility the Blue Hole got its legend about a curse and it arose according to the legend after a woman who couldn't bear a marriage of convenience with a man she didn't love decided to drown herself in the hole the typical albeit naive story was wandering in the mines until a 53-year-old technical diver from deab tar Omar became interested in it he began exploring the Blue Hole in 1992 and quickly discovered the bodies of dead divers he became really famous in 1997 when he brought the first two

bodies to the surface since then he says he has taken more than 20 bodies out of the water for which he earned the Grim nickname The Bone Collector so it was Tark Omar who recovered the body of 22-year-old Yuri lipsky a man who filmed his own death in this ominous place the heartbreaking footage is still available on YouTube and makes the blood run cold in the veins of viewers in the video lipsky makes an involuntary and uncontrolled descent eventually landing on the seafloor at a depth of 115 M there he panics removes his regulator and

tries to fill his buoyancy compensator but is unable to rise at such a depth with such a high rate of diving he was most likely overtaken by what is known as nitrogen Narcosis the poor diver probably experienced mental fog and even hallucination in addition to the obvious panic and confusion this footage made lipsky's death the most notorious diver death at this site and one of the most notorious diver deaths in the world lipsky's body was recovered the next day it was found by the very same Tark Omar we talked about earlier he was personally asked

to do so by the dead guy's mother it is noteworthy that Omar had previously twice w warned Yuri against trying to dive that's an eerie and sad story related to one of the most beautiful places on Earth and now we're going to dive into another place with a similar name the Great Blue Hole it is located off the coast of Biz a state on the east coast of Central America it is almost the world's largest Oceanic sinkhole measuring 318 m 1, 43 ft across and 124 M 47 ft Deep by some estimates it is the

second largest after the dragon hole in the parisel islands region it was formed when this place was land the hole was formed as a regular CST sink hole in several stages between 153,000 and 15,000 years ago during the cordary glaciation when the sea level Rose it was submerged Ed in the 1970s the place was made famous by the legendary Explorer jacqu Ives custo since then it has become popular among divers but its internal structure features and what lies at the very bottom remained a mystery for a long time in 2019 an ambitious and even Starry

team made an expedition to the Great Blue Hole billionaire Richard Branson and Fabian CAU grandson of the legendary Explorer joined Erica Bergman National Geographic Explorer and pilot of the Aquatica submarines they successfully descended to the bottom of the Abyss this dramatic dive was somewhat similar to entering the atmosphere of a distant planet that's because as the vessel descended it passed through layers of water the chemical composition of which was drastically different from ordinary seawater and the most prominent role in this was played by hydrogen sulfide we know this gas well because of its unpleasant odor

of rot and rotten eggs it's a permanent companion of almost any organic decomposition process in high concentrations it's toxic so descending into the depths of the Great Blue Hole at a certain point the sensors of the vessel recorded a sharp increase in the concentration of this gas it happened happed at a depth of about 88 to 90 M 290 to 300 ft a layer of dissolved hydrogen sulfide covered the entire hole how did it get there and can it be dangerous here the Explorers got a much more thrilling experience than they had expected the layer

of gas actually outlined a conditional death zone that began at this depth all living creatures that fell into the hole and died there inevitably decompose releasing hydrogen sulfide this gas is poorly soluble in water and certainly not heavier than it that's why the concentration had to be high enough for it to stay at such a depth but decomposition processes among other things also consume oxygen gradually all the oxygen in the water at the bottom of the hole ran out so it happened that nothing could survive from a certain depth level there was simply no oxygen

to breathe this place is gloomy not only in the figurative sense but also in the literal sense a layer of hydrogen sulfide prevents sunlight so this whole is not only blue but also very dark hydrogen sulfide oxygen-free environment and Pitch Darkness this was just the scenery of the Eerie picture the Intrepid explorers eventually saw at the bottom of the Blue Hole they discovered human bodies as it turns out these were the bodies of two of the three missing divers for ethical reasons the crew refused to attempt to recover the bodies themselves they left them buried

in the sea and reported the gruesome find to the authorities after surfacing the crew discovered other things in the blue hole that were not so creepy on the contrary they were bizarre and even mesmerizing these were huge stalactites Stone icicles formed on the ceiling when the Blue Hole was a regular CST cave not submerged under the seawater stalactites are formed by the slow dripping of water droplets and the crystallization of minerals as the droplets dry at the very tip of the mineral stone some of them are over 12 M 4 ft long and 0.6 m

2 ft in diameter interestingly the stalactites in the hole were tilted 12° although they can only form strictly vertically from the cave ceiling what's the reason it must be the shift of tectonic plates over the last 100,000 years this is quite possible as even whole continents tilt due to the slipping and sliding of tectonic plates now let's leave this Gloomy though undeniably Scenic Place and move on to the beaches as you can easily guess not ordinary beaches but Dangerous Ones this Florida beach has been called the shark by capital of the world why because you

are 10 times more likely to be bitten by a shark here than anywhere else in the United States Florida has some of the most stunning be beaches in the United States and they're always packed with visitors however one of these beaches has been hitting the headlines in recent years but not at all because of its beauty yes we are talking about New Smyrna Beach which boasts 27 km 17 M of beautiful Coastline Surfers flock here for amazing waves the new smyna Beach area is also known around the world for its familyfriendly attractions restaurant and stores

but amidst this idyllic location there is one major drawback there have been multiple terrifying shark encounters on the beach in recent years for example in September 2023 a 38-year-old surfer Was Bitten in the face by a shark as he was coming off a wave in total there have been five shark incidents at New Smyrna Beach in 2023 and a year earlier in SE setember 2022 a 27-year-old woman was walking chest Deep in water when a shark bit her on the right side of her body do you feel like these are sporadic incidents not worth paying

much attention to well it depends according to the international shark attack file there are nine unprovoked shark attacks per year in Valia County where New Smyrna Beach is located and these are just the cases of actual direct attacks meanwhile there have been so many cases of a shark circling around an unsuspecting Surfer and pondering whether to attack him or not according to the same file anyone swimming at New Smyrna Beach was within 3 m 10 ft of a shark this makes attack statistics look a bit less insignificant doesn't it you might think this fact discourages

people from visiting this Florida beach right it's quite the opposite many Surfers who hope to catch a glimpse of sharks only get a greater surfing experience from the abundance of sharks but back to the question of what attracts sharks to New Smyrna Beach you probably didn't know this but most shark bites actually occur near the surf zones there's actually a quite logical explanation for this Surfers and sharks seem to prefer the same areas of Shore and if we can say so the the same types of water both sharks and Surfers like the part of the

ocean where the waves smash against the rising Shoreline their goals differ Surfers come here to have fun and sharks to hunt at high tide large and small fish head for the shallow Waters in search of food digging in the water plants along the seash shores that's where they fall prey to sharks ironically sharks do not actually have anything against humans let alone consciously hunt them almost all attacks including fatal ones happen by mistake sharks mistake a dabbling bther or Surfer for a large tasty fish and therefore attack them and sensing that there is obviously something

wrong literally spits out the poor victim the trouble is that even a light bite from a terrible shark's mouth is often enough to cause fatal wounds and now we move to another location in the ocean with an equally creepy nickname if you ever travel to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kwai you can visit the so-called pool of death in the town of Princeville on the North Shore of the island it received this ominous name because of the frequent drownings of swimmers even experienced ones another name for This Place Queen's Bath dates back to the times

when the local aristocracy bathed there what is this place it is a small Cove surrounded by Rocky walls it is notorious for its sudden high tides and is considered extremely dangerous for bathing but how can the tide be sudden they happen on a regular schedule don't they that's right but the shoreline structure here is such that the high tide is fast rough and chaotic and if you don't stand on the shore and wait for it with a stopwatch it can really Catch You by surprise the water here can turn from calm to chaos in a

matter of seconds posing a deadly threat a careless swimmer can be smashed against the rocks by a wave dragged to the bottom where he won't have enough air to swim out or they can get carried away into the ocean where he certainly won't have any chance despite the obvious Danger Queen's Bath remains a popular Kawai attraction visitors regularly sneak here ignoring authorities efforts to install fences strengthen safety and renew warning signs there is often jamming in the parking lot at the trail leading to the Queen's Bath the period from Fall to spring when the gates

to the site remain closed is when danger is at its peak however this doesn't deter Thrill Seekers either quite the opposite alas for some this adventure was the last in total there are at least 30 known deaths associated with this place on the way to the pool you will see a stone plaque warning that unexpected large waves can wash you off the Rocks into the ocean other signs explicitly say danger many people have drowned here it is said that violators can be sued like if you have to be rescued you will pay for it later

with money you have been warned at least one person who needed help at Queen's Bath did get a bill this was personally claimed by County spokeswoman Kim tamaoka but none of that stopped the company of three men in October 2023 the Intrepid swimmers decided to challenge the notorious pool of death a photographer who was present captured the trio repeatedly jumping into the water unaware of the ominous turn of events that might await them in this charming but treacherous pool while they were enjoying the Pastime the water level dropped dramatically and then Rose sharply two of

the friends were carried off the Rocks into the turbulent water and the third jumped to his friends for some unknown reason maybe he wanted to rescue them or on the spur of the moment did not realize the danger and did not understand what was happening struggling with the ruthless waves they tried their best to stay afloat and get to a safe place among the rocks at the end of the video we can see two of them successfully climbing the Rocks but the fate of the third remains unknown but this place is dangerous for another reason

as well the path to Queen's Bath is very Steep and often tourists get sprains fractures and heart attacks along the way so if you are seeking a thrill think carefully before heading here just so that things don't get too thrilling and now we move on to a place that has scared the hell out of even the bravest of seaf farers for centuries imagine waking up in a Ship's Cabin with the dizzying sensation as if your bed is swinging in a hammock the unpredictable lurching of the ship tosses chairs and everything in the cabin the walls

ceiling and floor Creek as if everything is about to fall apart by midday the wave reaches 6 to 8 m 20 to 26 ft and the wind is 50 knots that is 92 km hour 57 mph the crew turns the ship a few degrees east of the planned route so that the waves hit the side with at least a little less Force yes it's a real storm but still pretty moderate compared to what the Drake Passage you are in is capable of you could easily have caught 11 to 12 M 35 to 40t waves here

too imagine that the waves gradually subsided the next day and the next morning you came across an iceberg a block block of ice 549 M 600 Y in diameter the Antarctic is nigh hand and so are the humpback whales you can admire assuming of course you can distract yourself from watching a drifting iceberg that evokes unpleasant associations with the Titanic the Drake Passage is the body of water between South America's Cape Horn Chile Argentina and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica it connects the southwestern Atlantic Ocean with the Southeastern Pacific Ocean the passage is named

after the 16th century English Explorer Sir Francis Drake despite the fact that the passage Bears this name the encyclopedia britanica and other modern sources report that in reality the English Captain was not the first to pass through it it was done only in 1616 by the expedition of Flemish Navigator William Shum and Drake just discovered this InterContinental passage the average depth of the passage is about 3,400 M 11,000 ft with deeper areas reaching 4800 M 15,600 ft near the northern and southern boundaries its width is also impressive and makes 998 km 620 Mi which is

roughly the distance from London to Berlin it is the widest passage on the planet and with such Dimensions the passage is considered one of the most dangerous to navigate the water in the passage is far from stagnant with a strong Eastward current the severe climate brings frequent and violent storms which are exacerbated by the proximity of Antarctica an inexhaustible source of dangerous icebergs historically the passage is literally a graveyard of numerous ships that tried to pass it against the current and winds it has had a sad Fame since the time of mellin and up to

the opening of the Panama Canal which Drew almost all the most important routes of South America nowadays of course this route is much safer than in the past but incidents still happen here just recently in December 2022 the ship Viking Polaris going through the Drake Passage to the Argentine city of USA had bad luck a so-called Rogue Wave crashed against it causing damage some passengers even thought they had run into an iceberg as a result four passengers were injured and 62-year-old Sher XU died so this place is still considered dangerous safe navigation through the passage

in relatively calm weather is Possible only for cargo ships of very large displacement such as tankers and container ships of the panamax class large warships and submarines well we head further out to dive into another dangerous part of the world ocean Queensland Australia why are the Waters of Queensland dangerous there are predators here that use Ambush tactics such as lying in weight at the water's edge to catch their prey these are crocodiles their habitat North Queensland is known as Croc country but of course they can also be found Beyond its borders did you know that

crocodiles can stay underwater for more than an hour and can hide completely even in knee shallow water so if you don't see a crocodile it doesn't mean it's not around crocodiles are most active at night at Dusk and Dawn they may move Upstream during high tides and floods and may move into new areas where they have not been seen before the smaller the vessel the greater risk of meeting crocodiles there have been cases of them dragging people off small boats despite this visitors to North Queensland often ignore numerous crocodile warning signs but locals know very

well that these signs are there for a reason crocodiles are an obvious and real danger in the north the controversy about crocodiles was revived with renewed Vigor in 2023 after the death of fisherman Kevin Dara he fell victim to two reptiles at once there have been 47 attacks on humans in North Queensland since 1985 and their frequency has increased menacingly lately and this issue has a long history in the 1970s crocodiles were almost completely exterminated in this area but almost the Predators quickly recovered their population now there are tens of thousands of them the state

department of environment predicts that the population will continue to grow by 2.2% per year and it is already well underway crocodiles have been seen even in the South outside of what is traditionally regarded as Croc country in other words they have begun to expand their territory however after an extensive study in 2021 the department said it is unlikely that the crocodile population in the South will ever reach the level of the Northern Territory the reason is the limited area of suitable habitat but crocodiles are not the only dangerous creatures in Queensland it is also home

to the blue ringed octopus these animals get their name because of the iridescent blue marks they display when threatened sometimes they even appear in Sydney in March 2023 one such octopus bit a woman on Sydney's North Shore several times while she was swimming blue- ringed octopuses are extremely venomous these creatures produce a fast acting toxin that causes paralysis depresses respiratory centers and inevitably leads to death in just 15 minutes unless the victim gets qualified help so the woman who got bitten in Sydney was really lucky to survive this now now we're going to South Africa

the Cape of Good Hope awaits us there despite its peaceful name the area is notorious for numerous shipwrecks thousands of ships have met their Doom here and the cape remains very treacherous to this day the Cape is located at the southern tip of the cape Peninsula south of Cape Town the second largest city in the Republic of South Africa after Johannesburg interestingly it was originally named Cape of storms in the 1840s by Portuguese explorer Balu Diaz allegedly the name was mentioned in a report to the Portuguese King John II because Das described conditions around the

cape as very rough it was later renamed Cape of Good Hope to attract more people to the cape sea route according to another version the king of Portugal encouraged by Diaz's discovery named it Cape of Good Hope because it offered a promising Prospect of reaching the markets of India over time the cape became an important port and staging area for soldiers traveling from Europe to Asia however the opening of the suaz canal in 1869 provided a much shorter way from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean making the long Voyage around Africa inefficient so why are

the waters near the cape where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet so dangerous for ships the thing is that the warm current from the east meets the cold current from the Northwest there and with strong winds typical for the area the conditions for shipping become Bleak it is no wonder that the Cape of Good Hope is associated with the legend of the Flying Dutchman a ghost ship doomed to sail the oceans forever according to the legend while trying to round the Cape of Good Hope the ship got into a strong storm the Navigator suggested to

wait out the bad weather in a safe place for example somewhere in the bay but the fierce Captain shot him and a few other disgruntled Sailors and then swore that none of the crew would go ashore until they rounded the cape even if it would take eternity a voice from the sky said let it be so in all at least two 2,000 ships have sunk in South African Waters one for every kilometer 0.6 M of Coastline on average ships synced around the cape more often than in many parts of the open ocean many of them

date back to the days of European exploration and voyages to India and Asia but not all of them in 1911 a year before the Titanic sank in the Atlantic the passenger liner SS Lucitania had Stak in Cape Town's Lighthouse for the southernmost point of the continent turned too steeply and wrecked hitting land a couple of years earlier dozens of other ships had also misjudged the situation due to that ill- fated Lighthouse so it was later moved further south another similarly notorious and even epic incident occurred in 1942 the US warship SS Thomas Tucker ran a

ground at Cape Point during its maiden voyage and was washed ashore the ship was loaded with nothing less than Sherman tanks trucks spare parts and barbed wire it was on its way to the Suz Canal where the Allies were engaged in a North African campaign against Hitler's forces in an attempt to avoid an encounter with an Italian Patrol submarine the captain changed course and headed straight for Cape olis fontos in thick fog only then did the captain discover that his Compass had deviated 37° but it was too late the rescue effort took as long as

5 months and it was a great undertaking but the valuable cargo was worth it and eventually most of it was saved the wreck of the Thomas Tucker still lies on the rocks of Cape Olaf fontos now South Africa even offers tourists a special route the Shipwreck Trail along the part of the coast where at least 120 ships including the Thomas Tucker were lost between 1682 and 1992 that's the good hope this cape sometimes brings and now we're going to visit an area of the Pacific Ocean with a similarly evocative name on October 1st 2023 a

sailor named Felix Lewis Nai from the bay area on the coast of Northern Califoria California was reported missing before that he had been swimming with two friends at the beach according to Witnesses they saw a shark nearby people also noticed a blood puddle where the swimmer where the swimmer was last seen the alleged victim of the great white shark has not been found this part of the shoreline is in the area infamously known as the red triangle which is the colloquial name for the roughly triangular-shaped region from the shore you have a Serene view of

beautiful beaches full of sea lions and seals however things are not so Serene in the water during the fall months an unseen danger lurks in the seawaters off the California coast the great white shark considering the high population in the few areas of the world where white sharks live those who enjoy ocean leisure in California are at Great risk of encountering these PR yes yes dangers from toothy Predators await not only at New Smyrna Beach which we covered earlier in the video a preliminary assessment conducted in 2006 found that about 38% of reported great white

shark attacks on humans in the United States happened specifically in the red triangle area at the time this amounted to 11% of the global rate in the last 30 years since 1993 there have been six fatalities caused by white sharks in California however the number of non-fatal human encounters with white sharks in the South has increased in recent years such incidents are occurring throughout the state with one of the highest rates seen in Southern California this is directly related to the increase in white shark populations since California began a campaign aimed at protecting the species

in 1994 4 from 2014 to 2019 tourist cage Dives were practiced to observe sharks within the Guadalupe Island biosphere reserve the data indicated a gradual increase in the overall population of great white sharks and in 2014 to 2016 unprecedented cases of appearances of young white sharks were recorded in central California they were mostly individuals with a body length of less than 2.5 m 8 ft previously the young preferred to stay in the warmer Waters of the Southern California current despite the case of 2023 Stanford scientists claim that the chances of being bitten or moreover eaten

by a shark are still very small according to the study scuba divers are 6,897 times more likely to be hospitalized due to diving related decompression sickness than white shark bites div ERS have a 1 in 136 million chance of being bitten while Surfers have a 1 in 17 million chance nevertheless when bathing in the red triangle area be aware of the risks even the small ones or better yet sail further with us this is the strangest and even paradoxical Sea on the planet it's teeming with life and yet capable of Insidious murder it has the

calmest weather but has always been one of the areas with the most ship sinkings it doesn't even have Shores a sea without Shores a sea of wreckage a sea of ghosts a desert in the ocean such nicknames were given to this part of the Atlantic Ocean by the way most of the infamous Bermuda Triangle is located in the saraso sea coincidence let's look into it first of all what does a sea without Shores mean how can something like that exist the point is that its boundaries are defined not by land but by ocean currents yes

this is largely a matter of agreement and compromise among scientists not a clear definition but in this case there was no other option this area of the ocean is just too unusual the sea is bounded to the west by the Gulf Stream to the north by the North Atlantic current to the east by the canary current and to the South by the North Atlantic equatorial current all four together form a clockwise circulating system of ocean currents called the North Atlantic gy the saraso Sea is located approximately between 20° and 35° north latitude and 40° and

70° west longitude it is a approximately 1,100 km 600 nautical mil wide and 3,200 km 1,750 nautical miles long Bermuda is near the Western end of the sea okay first odity solved but still why are there so many terrifying Legends and myths about it indeed this area has scared even the most courageous Navigators since the time of Columbus and even Christopher Columbus person personally expressed his concerns fearing that this place might become a grave for the entire Expedition so what is this ominous Force the answer is surprisingly simple and trivial algae yes it's the seaweed

from which the sea got its name sarasam is a genus of marine brown algae that floats on the surface of the ocean it's very viable and vigorously growing it is found in many places in the Atlantic but in the saraso sea due to the circular current it accumulates in enormous quantities this made sailing very difficult during the Age of Exploration indeed many ships were sunk here because of the algae the algae itself made navigation difficult but it also hampered sailor ability to determine depth which increased the risk of running a ground it wasn't just algae

that caused trouble for Sailors of the past due to the same circular current inside the saraso sea the weather is mostly too calm and windless this is an advantage for modern ships but for sailing ships it's a disaster the fact is that a sailing ship needs at least some wind to be able to move even an adverse wind sailing ships can move even Against the Wind and Dead Calm is the worst case there were many cases where ships were stuck in such a windless trap in the saraso sea for many days and the crew suffered

from lack of food and fresh water it is the combination of these unique features that has brought this area of the Atlantic such notoriety nowadays there's a new threat from sarasam there is too much of it so much that huge amounts of rotting algae are washed ashore creating a real ecological disaster giant multimeter layers of decaying algae release hydrogen sulfide and other harmful gases which in such volumes May endanger the health of the coastal Region's residents and finally we move on to another strange part of the ocean there are many different legends about this place

what they have in common is that they all mention missing ships and ghost ships drifting without crew this is the devil sea or Mano Umi in Japanese in fact it's a phrase the Japanese use commonly to describe dangerous sea places around the world so there are many places called Mano Umi but this one is special these Infamous waters are located around the Miyaki a Japanese island about 100 km south of Tokyo there are other names for the place the Pacific Bermuda Triangle and the Dragon Triangle the dragon in the name comes from a Chinese myth

about dragons living underwater according to the myths these underwater dragons attack ships passing by the stories began circulating as far back as 1,000 years ago it is said that the Conqueror kuon grandson of genghiskhan tried to invade Japan in 1274 and 1281 ad however he failed in both attempts he lost his ships and 40,000 crew members in this triangular Zone reportedly due to typhoons the Japanese then believed it was higher forces who sent the typhoons to save them from their enemies later divers and Marine archaeologists discovered the remains of the Mongolian Fleet in this region

another Legend dates back to the early 1800s it describes a mysterious woman sailing through the Devil's Sea in a ship that looked like a jar for burning incense but it is still unknown what kind of ship it was and where it was headed and whether it was there at all because at the time there could not be any reliable evidence even theoretically so that you and I could check out the proof but in the mid 20th century things were better besides the ships didn't stop disappearing in this place in the 194 40s and 1950s several

fishing vessels and more than five warships disappeared in the area in 1952 Japan sent a research vessel to investigate the cases of ships missing Without a Trace in the Dragon Triangle but it too suffered the same fate of its predecessors the wreckage was later found but its 31-man crew was missing after this incident the Japanese government declared this area dangerous for sea travel and transportation of goods moreover all attempts to uncover the facts behind the mystery were also thwarted but people still plotted hypotheses trying to give a scientific explanation for the so-called paranormal phenomena occurring

there among them of course were also people who had a rather indirect relation to science according to British American naturalist Ivan Sanderson ships disappear in the devil sea because of the complex interaction of hot and cold currents and this might have been a reasonable version but Sanderson attributed this to some obscure changes in the state of the electromagnetic field that capture passing ships the reputation of Sanderson fond of everything paranormal left his theories in the camp of ufologists and conspiracy theorists another less unscientific hypothesis suggests that there are underwater volcanoes in the area their eruption

could be the cause of shipwrecks and the source of stories about dragons pulling ships with Crews underwater an even Sounder scientific study says that shipwrecks happened because of methane hydrate this gas often accumulates in natural reservoirs on the ocean floor and can pose a serious threat to ships bursting from the deposits the gas sharply reduces the density of water which leads to a sudden and Rapid sinking of the ship this Reason by the way is referred to as a scientific explanation for The Disappearance of ships in the Bermuda Triangle as well of course these are

not all the dangerous places in the world ocean it is so vast that mankind has revealed only a tiny part of its Secrets let us hope that in the future the ocean will pose fewer threats to us although it seems that it expects the same from us
