The Bermuda Triangle has been in the headlines recently thanks to a paper by Arctic University of Norway researchers showing oceanic methane bubbles can cause “enormous blowouts,” air pockets large enough to swallow ships.

The giant bubbles observed and explained by the Norwegian team were in the Barents Sea, which is nowhere near Bermuda or a decent Dark and Stormy, but a similar phenomenon could — the thinking goes — result in mysterious disappearances. The research posits as probable a theory as any for the disappearance of boats in the Sargasso Sea.
