DATE:10/5/2022 NAME: Aja Buggs RE: The Search for Atlantis Report HYPOTHESIS : I believe Bimini is a remnant of the of the Atlantean continent, the Bimini road may be a relic of the Atlantean architecture. I believe the surrounding islands in the West Indies/Greater Antilles may also be the remnants of the lost continent of Atlantis. The West Indian Islands/Central America are very mountainous and reside over many hotspots and both enclose Bimini in a circular shape. OBSERVATIONS : from search grid Possible Locations Location: Bimini Coordinates 25.7273ºN, 79.2979°W (LAT/ LONG): Azores Canary Islands 37.7412ºN,25.6756° Tectonic Setting Distance to nearest Hotspot 830 mi/ Utila island, Honduras Distance to nearest Plate Margin: 460 mi/ Caribbean plate margin Type of margin? Distance to nearest Volcano: Ocean to continent 830 mi/pumpkin cone, Ultia island, Honduras Climate Directly over a hotspot Directly over hotspot Located directly over the Nubian plate margin 197 mi/Nubian plate margin Ocean/ Continent convergence.
