Where did Bermeya Island disappear to? There are several theories on this, including US intervention and global warming.

This island was discovered in the 19th century in the Aral Sea. In Soviet times, biological weapons testing was carried out on it, including the development of substances that cause anthrax with tests on animals. After they learned about the laboratory in the United States, it was decided to urgently liquidate it. All equipment and personnel were removed, and weapons and chemicals under development were buried on the island.

In September 2013, a powerful earthquake hit Pakistan, resulting in an unexpected new island. According to scientists, Earthquake Island is a mud volcano that surfaced due to strong tremors.

An island with such an intriguing name is located ... outside our planet. In 2013, astronomers observing Titan, Saturn's moon, discovered the appearance of a new island on it. It is assumed that this may be an accumulation of solid particles that form land. Since there is a theoretical possibility of simple life forms on Titan, the discovery of this island is an important event for astronomers.

Bannerman Island is located on the Hudson River half an hour from New York and you can see the ruins of a magnificent castle on it.
