Known for its myths and mysteries, the Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, covers nearly 500,000 square miles between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The U.S. Coast Guard says the area doesn’t exist, but many conspiracy theories focus on strange magnetic readings and stories of ships, planes, and people disappearing without a trace. Recently, researchers have suggested that natural factors such as methane hydrates or rogue waves may explain some of the disappearances, but the mystery is still a popular topic for speculation.
This glossy sea-glass beach in California is the result of littering there over the years. It didn’t stop until the 1960s, but by then the sea was full of everything from old equipment to bottles and cans.
Over time, the waves break everything into colored pebbles, turning the beach into a major tourist attraction. Now, it’s ironically at stake as visitors continue to take the glass home.
One of the strangest places in the world is Cat Island in Japan. It is a short ferry ride from the east coast of Japan. There are about a hundred people on the island known as Tashirojima, but there are even more cats.
Cats were mainly welcomed because the island produced silk, and the rats, which were a threat to silkworms, were kept away by the cats. The fishermen also thought that cats bring good luck. There is even a cat temple and cat-shaped cabins for tourists. Dogs are not allowed to move.
Recently, Cat Island has become a popular place for tourists who love cats. People work to keep cats healthy, with volunteers and groups providing food and medical care.
