0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Dan. I'm the editor of the Week Junior Science of Nature. We've got a classic from |
0:05.9 | the archives for you this month. It is our episode of Mysteries of Science about the Bermuda Triangle. |
0:14.2 | Hello and welcome to Mysteries of Science. I'm Kieran, the features editor of Science and Nature, |
0:20.1 | the monthly magazine from the team behind the week junior. And I'm Stevieieran, the Features Editor of Science and Nature, the Monthly magazine from the Team Behind the Week Junior. |
0:23.6 | And I'm Stevie, the assistant editor. Today, we're going to be investigating an absolute classic mystery, one that people have been talking about for decades. |
0:32.7 | This is such a good one. It was actually a listener who got in touch to ask us to look into this particular |
0:38.6 | topic and as soon as we saw that idea, we just knew that we had to do it. It is so famous. |
0:45.1 | It's an absolute classic. It is the Bermuda Triangle. Stevie, I think you know a bit more about |

1:35.5 | state of Florida and the right tip southeast from there near Puerto Rico. Yeah, so I've got it up on a map here |
1:43.1 | and it is a really clear triangle shape, so tick, |
1:48.0 | it lives up to that name. |
1:49.0 | And most of the space inside the triangle is the Atlantic Ocean, but if you go between the left |
1:56.0 | tip, so Florida, over to the right, near to Puerto Rico, you can see there's a whole lot of islands |
