Studying the giant underwater craters found at the bottom of the Barents Sea will help unravel the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle. The Norwegian Arctic University reports that the found objects are located off the coast of Norway at about 45 meters depth. They reach 800 meters in width. Geologists believe that the craters were formed as a result of large gas breakthroughs.
In their opinion, the release of methane provokes powerful underwater explosions - pneumo-cotton. Methane ice in underground deposits heats up and turns into gas, which forcefully breaks out to the surface. Moreover, its volume increases 150 times. The water temperature rises significantly, and dangerous vortices are born in the atmosphere. Such a process poses a danger to ships and aircraft, which can be wrecked due to pneumatic cotton.
The authors of the study believe that their theory can explain the phenomenon of the Bermuda Triangle, in which about a hundred ships have mysteriously disappeared over the past century. To confirm, however, it is necessary to find similar giant craters at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the area bounded by Bermuda, Puerto Rico and Florida. However, so far such an expedition is not planned, and scientists intend to concentrate on studying the craters of the Barents Sea.
