son.More than 20,000 people missing in the ‘Alaska Triangle’, what happened?

People have heard a lot about the Bermuda Triangle. However, the Alaska Triangle is even scarier as it is the place where the most disappearances in the world occur.

The Alaska Triangle is an area located between the three cities of Anchorage and Juneau in the south and Utqiagvik – a small, remote city on the northern coast of Alaska.

According to IFL Science, since the early 1970s, it is estimated that more than 20,000 people have disappeared in this vast land. Considering the sparse population of the area, that is a surprisingly high rate.

Mysterious disappearances
For the entire state of Alaska, it is estimated that an average of 2,250 people disappear each year, twice the average for the entire United States.

Some of the notable people who have disappeared in the Alaska Triangle include Thomas Hale Boggs Sr., the majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives, and Nick Begich, an Alaska congressman.

The two politicians disappeared on October 16, 1972, while flying a light aircraft from Anchorage to Juneau with Begich’s aide, Russell Brown, and pilot Don Jonz.

A large-scale search was launched for the four missing men, but their bodies and the plane have never been found.

Another notable case is that of Gary Frank Sotherden, 25, who traveled from New York to the Alaskan wilderness in the mid-1970s to go hunting, but he never returned home.

In the summer of 1997, hunters found a human skull along the Porcupine River in northeastern Alaska. In 2022, DNA was recovered and experts concluded that the skull was Sotherden’s. He most likely died after being mauled by a bear.
