It is full of curiosity, and some people also like to explore these mysterious places. Today, I will introduce you to the most "weird" islands in the world.

Sable Island is located in the North Atlantic Ocean in the southwest of Canada. In French, "Sable" means "sand", which means "Sand Island". The name was originally given by the French sailors because of the sea around the island. Accidents continue, so some people call it "Death Island", and bizarre legends about this island are widely circulated in the West, which makes people feel scared.

The length of the island is 40 kilometers from east to west, and the area is about 80 square kilometers. There are two to four meters in length. It is said that if the ship touches the surrounding quicksand shoals, it will be doomed to capsize. For hundreds of years, a total of more than 500 large and small ships have mysteriously sank here.

Looking down from the sky, it looks like a slender crescent moon. This island is very strange. It will move its position, as if it has long feet. Whenever there is a strong wind on the sea, the island will be blown away. In the past 200 years, the island has "floated" 20 kilometers to the east, moving an average of 100 meters per year.

In recent years, lifesaving stations with modern equipment have also been built on the island. There are two lighthouses flashing lights at night, so the incidents have been greatly reduced in recent years. As for the reasons why the ship sank here, many people do Some people think that the sea near the island can set off huge waves to sink the ship; some people think that the magnetic field is different from its adjacent sea surface, so the compass navigation and other instruments on the ship fail, resulting in the sinking; Others think it has something to do with its frequent relocation and bad weather.

But no matter what kind of statement it is, it is just a guess, and further exploration and research are needed.
