The Alaska Triangle

Documented folklore from the Club 49 map, told straight and sourced.

The story

A vast wedge of Alaska between Anchorage, Juneau and Barrow has one of the highest rates of unexplained disappearances anywhere: thousands of people have simply vanished here over the decades, most famously a 1972 plane carrying two U.S. congressmen that was never found despite the largest search in history. The honest explanation is the ground itself, some of the most enormous, roadless, crevassed, storm-wracked wilderness on the planet, where a bush plane or a hiker can be lost forever with no foul play at all. That does not make it any less eerie.

The ground it haunts

Interior Alaska (Anchorage–Juneau–Utqiaġvik). Source: A real cluster of disappearances in enormous wilderness. The Club 49 map pins this legend at its documented country, beside the real mines, active claims, land status and modeled honey holes of the same ground. Open the free map and go stand in the story.
