362 Questions
Is Bermuda a British territory?
Yes; the Bermuda Islands as they are officially known (there are actually 138 islands forming a part of it) are a British overseas territory in which the crown authority of the Queen is exercised by a governor appointed by the British parliament. Bermuda is self-governing, and has had limited self-government in the Parliament of Bermuda since 1620. Its most recent constitution is from 1967.
A British overseas territory (there are 14) legally falls under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom (in that the Queen reigns as monarch over these territories), but these territories do not form a part of the United Kingdom itself. Before 2002, these territories were known as British dependent territories. Their status is similar to the status of Puerto Rico or the United States Virgin Islands with respect to the United States

How many people have been lost in the Bermuda tryangle?
No people have died from the Bermuda Triangle because it is only lines drawn on a map. The people who have died in the area designated by these lines have died from normal occurrences for areas frequented by boat and air travelers; those deaths (or disappearances) are a result of normal, volatile weather conditions that occur in ocean travel whether it's near Bermuda, Cape Cod, or off Puget Sound, such as equipment or vehicles not suited for conditions, mechanical failure, or human error. Any deaths or disappearances that have no specific explanation are not due to mysterious forces but to the fact that there is not sufficient information. Those that can't be explained are a negligible percent of all losses.

In only a few regions where tropical coral reefs flourish offshore do pink-sand beaches form. What makes the sand pink is an amalgam of calcium-rich shells and fragments of invertebrate sea creatures, from minute, single-cell protozoa to spiny sea urchins. Chiefly responsible are foraminifera ("foram" for short), a type of protozoan that lives in great profusion in reef environments. The microscopic red Homotrema rubrum (red foram) variety is numerous both on the reefs and in the ocean sediments that surround Bermuda, and their persistent red pigment remains even in the microscopic "skeletons" these animals leave behind when they die. The red gets mixed in with other (predominantly white) reef debris-broken clam and snail shells, fragments of coral-and, when washed ashore, forms the island's signature pink sand.
The most visited pink-sand beaches are Warwick Long Bay Beach and Horseshoe Bay Beach in Southampton. But just about any beach you visit on the south shore will have the famous sand in abundance.
