Cahow, the 2nd rarest seabird on the planet breeds ONLY on Nonsuch Island and the surrounding rocks in Bermuda. Each breeding pair produces only 1 egg a year, of which 40% to 50% fail to hatch.


The Bermuda Triangle Is massive – somewhere between 440,000 to 1,510,000 square miles of ocean AND it moves around! The triangle’s strange weather, electromagnetic issues, and other phenomena can be experienced a bit outside the borders of its geographical markers. Also, the Bermuda Triangle does not point compasses toward Magnetic North. Instead, it causes them to point toward true north, which veers in a slightly different direction.

The official national anthem is “Hail to Bermuda”:

Hail to Bermuda,
My island in the sun.
Sing out in glory
To the nation we’ve become.
We’ve grown from heart to heart,
And strength to strength,
The privilege is mine
To sing long live Bermuda,
Because this island’s mine!

Hail to Bermuda,
My homeland dear to me.
This is my own land
Built on faith
And unity.
We’ve grown from heart to heart
And strength to strength,
For Loyalty is Prime
So sing long live Bermuda,
Because this island’s mine!

Listen to the national anthem.
