Nobody has a definitive answer as to why people and things disappear in the Bermuda Triangle.
Atlantis
Atlantis is so mysterious that all that we know of it is through what we see of it on a map. This map is from the time when continents were moving about in a bid to find a final resting place. It seems that Atlantis lies somewhere between America and Africa. Nothing is known about whether Atlantis was consumed by the waves or was combusted or even became part of another continent.

Blood Falls
Blood Falls is located in the Antarctica. What makes it so mysterious is the fact that you won’t be able to visit it in person. It can however be viewed through photographs which show blood red colored waterfall dotting the white colored Taylor Glacier. Nobody knows, including glaciologists and microbiologists, why this waterfall is blood red in color. Another thing that makes this very mysterious place is the fact that 1300 feet beneath all that ice live some microorganisms that are sustained by sulfur and iron in the water. According to expert glaciologists and microbiologists, the waterfall is red because the water itself contains a lot of iron, and it is this iron that turns the water red.
