But what have scientists actually found there? Well, it’s not an ancient city, but it is an important geological discovery which could shed light on how the area is structured.
Using seismic studies, the scientists found a rock some 12.4 miles thick under the oceanic crust beneath Bermuda. That thickness has not been recorded in a similar geological layer anywhere else in the world.

Scientists still don’t know quite how the rock came to be there, but it could explain why Bermuda sits on what’s called an ‘oceanic swell’, where the sea bed is higher than the surrounding areas. Normally this is the result of volcanic activity depositing material on the sea floor, but there is not that level of activity in the Bermuda Triangle, making the origin of the swell a mystery.
