You’ve heard of the Bermuda Triangle, but do you know about the so-called Alaska Triangle?
Located roughly around three points of Anchorage and Juneau in the south, and Utqiagvik, a northern coastal city, it’s an area that has more unsolved missing person cases than anywhere else in the world.
In fact, since the early 1970s, more than 20,000 people have vanished within this vast triangle which is significantly high given how sparse in population the location is, IFL Science reported.
Statistically speaking, Alaska has twice the national average of disappearances with an average of 2,250 people vanishing each year.
Notable figures who have disappeared in the triangle include two politicians, US House Majority Leader, Thomas Hale Boggs Sr and Alaska Congressman, Nick Begich.
On October 16, 1972, the pair were flying alongside Begich’s aide, Russell Brown, and the pilot, Don Jonz in an aircraft from Anchorage to Juneau when they went missing.
Despite a big search being carried out to try and locate the four, ultimately neither the bodies nor the plane were ever found.
