The Bermuda Triangle is famous for mysteriously making anything that passes through it disappear.&nbsp;

But apart from that, Earth also has an ‘Alaska Triangle’ which is located close to the northern coastal city of Utqiagvik and has remained a mystery after the disappearance of more than 20,000 people.&nbsp;

Since the early 1970s, more than 20,000 people have mysteriously vanished in this vast triangle because of which the population in this location is sparse, reported IFL Science.

Statistically, Alaska has recorded double the national average of disappearance cases and an average of&nbsp;2,250 people have been vanishing&nbsp;every year.

Some of the famous people who went missing in this triangle included two politicians and US House Majority Leader Thomas Hale Boggs Sr and Alaska Congressman Nick Begich.
