Mysterious city near the Bermuda Triangle?
A strange pattern on the seafloor near the Caribbean has triggered a new debate about what may be hidden beneath the ocean.
The unusual formation was noticed by UFO researcher Scott Waring while examining publicly available bathymetric data. The area lies between Cuba and Haiti, close to the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas.
Waring believes the pattern could represent the remains of a sunken city built by an ancient civilization. He points to long, relatively straight lines and geometric shapes that appear across the seafloor.
According to his measurements, the suspected formation stretches roughly 11 to 13 kilometers in one direction and about 4.8 kilometers across. Its apparent scale is one reason the discovery has attracted attention online.
The idea of a lost city beneath the Caribbean is fascinating, but there is currently no archaeological evidence proving that the structures were made by humans.
No underwater archaeological expedition has confirmed buildings, streets, walls or other artifacts at the location. Marine scientists have also not established that the unusual shapes are artificial.
Natural geological processes can produce surprisingly regular patterns on the ocean floor. Faults, fractures, sediment movement, volcanic activity and other processes can create lines and geometric-looking formations that resemble artificial structures.

Could this really be an ancient underwater city?
Waring nevertheless argues that the regularity of the shapes deserves closer investigation. He has also raised the possibility that the formation could be connected to a forgotten human civilization rather than an extraterrestrial settlement.
One possible scenario involves a prehistoric settlement built on land that later disappeared beneath the sea. Changes in sea level, tectonic activity or a major geological event could theoretically transform a coastal landscape over thousands of years.
That idea has inevitably led to comparisons with Atlantis, the legendary civilization described by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. However, there is no evidence connecting the Caribbean formation with Atlantis.
The location is especially intriguing because it is not far from the region popularly known as the Bermuda Triangle. The area has inspired decades of stories about vanished ships, aircraft and unexplained phenomena.
Scientists, however, have found no evidence that the Bermuda Triangle has an unusually high rate of disappearances. Its reputation largely comes from popular books, media reports and stories about unexplained incidents.
The bathymetric data examined by Waring comes from the broader effort to map the world’s oceans. The Seabed 2030 project combines data from many organizations to create a detailed global map of the ocean floor. Its goal is to improve knowledge of the seabed rather than search specifically for mysterious ruins.
As ocean mapping becomes more detailed, previously poorly understood areas will become easier to examine. The Caribbean formation could eventually receive a proper scientific investigation using sonar, remotely operated vehicles and underwater archaeological surveys.

It was previously reported that a mysterious “cold spot” had been discovered in the North Atlantic. This spot has puzzled scientists, and new research suggests it may signal dangerous climate change.
