Scientists think they may have solved the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, a region in the North Atlantic from which several planes and ships have disappeared under mysterious circumstances.
The phenomenon of rogue waves may provide the answer, say researchers at the University of Southampton, UK.
Also known as the Devil's Triangle, the infamous body of water stretches 700,000 square kilometres in the North Atlantic between Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico and is estimated to have claimed over 1,000 lives in the past 100 years.
In The Bermuda Triangle Enigma, a new documentary aired on UK Channel Five last week, scientists recreated rogue-wave surges - which can rise to heights of 30m and only last for a few minutes - to demonstrate their effects on hapless ships caught in their grip.
