The Bermuda Triangle is an area in the Atlantic Ocean known for mysterious disappearances. But did you know that the so-called “Alaska Triangle” has more unsolved missing person cases than anywhere else in the world? The Alaska Triangle, which revolves around three points: Anchorage and Juneau to the south and the coastal town of Utqiagvik to the north, remains a mystery after the disappearance of more than 20,000 people. According to IFL Science, the area first came to public attention in October 1972, when a small plane carrying two American politicians suddenly disappeared en route from Anchorage to Juneau. When he disappeared, House Minority Leader Thomas Hill Boggs Sr. and Nick Begich were flying in a small plane from Anchorage to Juneau, the newspaper reported. A large-scale search operation was launched for the four missing people, but neither the bodies nor the plane were found.

The incident sparked several conspiracy theories about the incident. Especially since Mr. Boggs was a member of the Warren Commission, a public body investigating the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which apparently disagreed with the group's findings. Another notable case is Gary Frank Southerden, a 25-year-old New Yorker who went hunting in the Alaskan wilderness in the mid-1970s and never returned home. Twenty years later, in 1997, a human skull was discovered on the Porcupine River in northeast Alaska and its DNA was subsequently collected in 2022. It was concluded that the skull belonged to Mr Southerden and it was believed that Mr Southerden had most likely died from a bear attack. Many people have offered different explanations for the disappearance. Some believe that there is unusual magnetic activity in the Alaska Triangle, while others believe that many extraterrestrial beings visit the area.

However, the simpler explanation is that it is a vast country full of wilderness and natural hazards, which is why people get lost and never found again. But perhaps, like the Bermuda Triangle, this mystery will never be solved. According to IFL Science, the region is full of “pristine wilderness,” “rugged mountains,” and bitter cold, as well as an “abundance of bears.”
