The world's oceans are some of the most interesting and breathtaking places on the entire planet.A lot of these oceans have witnessed a variety of disappearances and other mysteries,most of which cannot and have not been explained by modern science.Here are some interesting unsolved sea mysteries of the world.
   USS Scorpion
   In February 1969,the USS Scorpion,an American submarine,departed from Norfolk,Virginia,on its way towards the Mediterranean.The crew had almost a decade of experience,and yet the sub disappeared and broke into pieces on the sea floor.There were 99 men aboard the sub,all of whom lost their lives.
   Baltic Sea Sub
   In the later half of 2014,a mysterious vessel(大船) was spotted by Swedish citizens,many of whom described it as a Russian submarine,in the Baltic Sea.The military spent much time in investigating,but found no sign of the mysterious sub.The search was named "the hunt for Reds in October."
   Bermeja Island
   During the 1970s,Bermeja Island served as a bit of a marker for Mexico and their economic zone.Around 20 years later,the island disappeared without any sign.Along with the island,numerous important documents about major oil reserves also went missing.
   Gulf of Mexico Shipwreck
   In 2001,ExxonMobil was laying pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico when they ran into a shipwreck around 2,600 feet under the surface.Upon exploring the shipwreck,archaeologists believed it to be a terrible spell,as something would constantly go wrong when they went down to explore.
   SS Edmund Fitzgerald
   Lake Superior is so large that it behaves like an inland ocean,including terrific storms.In November 1975,one such storm struck the vessel SS Edmund Fitzgerald,which was headed to Detroit.The Fitzgerald disappeared after communications were lost.A week later,a sonar(聲吶) ship found the vessel 500 feet under the water.Not one body was found,though.

  • 1.The cost of living in countries like the U.S,Britain,Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years.However,if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas,there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living.Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
    Ecuador
       Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways,and as a result has become a popular American getaway.They even use the U.S.Dollar for their currency.In this country,it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U.S.You can even buy a building for around ﹩50,000 and hire someone to look after it while you're away.
    Mexico
       Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets,there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need.You can live off a mere ﹩700 to ﹩800 a month in Mexico,and this includes rent for a nice place,facilities,food,and any sightseeing.

    Vietnam
       Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach,but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around ﹩25,000 to ﹩50,000 if you search in the right areas.
