The Devil’s Sea or Dragon’s Triangle is a region of the Pacific around Miyake Island, about 100 km south of Tokyo. One of the triangle’s corners is said to be on the island of Guam. Although the name is used by Japanese fishermen, it does not appear on nautical maps.
In popular culture, especially in the United States, the Devil’s Sea is widely believed to be, together with the Bermuda Triangle, an area where ships and planes are said to disappear under mysterious circumstances. The Japanese, on the other hand, do not consider the Devil’s Sea to be more mysterious or dangerous than other coastal waters of Japan.
Contrary to several claims, neither the Devil’s Sea nor the Bermuda Triangle is located on the agonic line, where the magnetic north equals the geographic north. The magnetic declination in this area is about 6°.
Among the phenomena reported in the Devil’s Sea are the loss of ships and planes (more than the Bermuda Triangle), numerous ghost ships, unidentified craft and USO’s, missing time, and is even said to explain the disappearance of Amelia Earhart.
