Mystery of Bermuda Triangle solved - result of craters on the sea bed

This would be a tiny step towards solving the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle that has been bothering mankind for centuries. The discovery of giant underwater craters at the bottom of Barents Sea is seen as a possible explanation to the disappearance of ships in the dreaded Bermuda Triangle.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 14 March 2016.

Scientists and researchers from the Arctic University of Norway have discovered craters up to half a mile wide and 150ft deep and these are believed to have been the result of build-ups of methane off the coast of natural gas-rich Norway. Experts feel that this methane would have leaked from deposits of natural gas further below the surface and created cavities which finally bursts.
It is understood that there are multiple giant craters that exist on the sea floor in an area in the west-central Barents Sea and these are probably a cause of enormous blowouts of gas. The crater filled area is likely to represent one of the largest hotspots for shallow marine methane release in the Arctic. Consequently, the explosions that cause the craters to open up could pose risks to vessels that are traveling on Barents Sea.
Scientists are of the opinion that these could possibly explain the loss of ships and aircraft in the controversial area referred to as the Bermuda Triangle is a massive one which stretches from the British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean to the Florida coast, to Puerto Rico. The presence of huge craters on the sea floor off Norway would tend to suggest giant blowouts of methane.
