#14 Bermeja Island That Existed in Maps Until 1846 Disappears and Nobody Can Find It
Bermeja is known as a phantom island that was seen on maps off the north coast of the Yucatán all the way until the 20th century. What’s interesting about this island is that a search for it found nothing that could have been called an island. The research started when somebody pointed out that the island has no real boundaries and rights of oil in the Gulf of Mexico. Once authorities started looking for this piece of land, they found nothing but water. To this day nobody can explain whether or not the island ever existed.
