I'm James Stewart, and you're watching Astrum Earth.
Join me for this voyage into the most deadly part of the Pacific Ocean.
We'll explore undersea volcanoes, tackle ocean gyres, and even encounter deadly bubbles in a stretch of ocean feared by fishermen, studied by scientists, and shrouded in stories of sea dragons, magnetic anomalies, and unexplained disappearances.
Using modern scientific analysis and the most comprehensive data available, we'll finally put the mysteries to bed and uncover what's really hiding beneath the waves.
Okay, let's start with the basics.
What and where are we actually talking about?
Well, like any good mystery, no one can 100% actually agree on this part, but we're going in search of facts, so let's try and nail this jelly to the wall.
We're in the Western Pacific Ocean off the southeast coast of Japan.
In the late 80s, author Charles Berlitz, who wrote extensively on the Bermuda Triangle and its Pacific twin, drew a line from western Japan, just north of Tokyo, to a point in the Pacific at a latitude of approximately 140 degrees east.
This triangle, sort of, then runs west-southwest to the Bonin Islands down to Guam, the US island territory key to American military strategy in the Pacific, before heading west to Taiwan, and then back to Japan.
Longitude is about 35 degrees east, if you are keeping track.
Now, you won't find this triangle on Google Maps, but it's caused enough peril over the centuries for the stories to persist.
Other sources say this treacherous stretch of ocean lies 100 kilometers south of Tokyo, close to the island of Miyake in the Philippine Sea.
And in the 1950s, Japanese newspapers, including Yomiuri Shimbun, mapped the area as closer to Japan and centering on the Azu Islands.
They started calling it Ma No Umi, which roughly translates as Sea of Troubles, Devil's Sea, or Troublesome Sea, which, as we'll see, is very appropriate.
But it's also been called the Dragon's Triangle, the Pacific Bermuda Triangle, and the Formosa Triangle.
Confused yet?
Me too.
So from here on in, and for ease, I'm going to refer to it as the Dragon's Triangle.
No matter what you call this place, like its more sensationalist partner in crime, the Bermuda Triangle, it's notorious for making things disappear without trace.
