Bermuda


Bermuda is a group of 360 small islands in the western Atlantic, of which 20 are inhabited. Population density is rather high, and most people (61%) are of African descent.

Bermuda is especially known for the mystery of the so-called Bermuda Triangle. It`s the name of a region between Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida, where a series of strange events have taken place. Since the 19th century 40 ships and planes have disappeared along with almost 2000 people. No wrecks or bodies have ever been found.
What causes all those strange events? Many explanations have been put forward both by the scientists and lay people. Some say they are caused by the legendary civilization of Atlantis which is still alive deep under the ocean`s surface, while others blame the UFO. Those who are more sceptical think there is nothing peculiar about the place and that the events can be easily explained by the changeable weather conditions. Whatever the explanation, Bermuda is still one of the most mysterious and interesting places in the world.
