Choses à Savoir

Moins connu que son cousin des Bermudes, le Triangle de l'Alaska est pourtant tout aussi mystérieux… voire plus inquiétant. Situé dans une zone délimitée entre Anchorage, Juneau et Barrow (au nord de l'État), ce triangle imaginaire fascine les chercheurs, les passionnés d'ésotérisme et les populations locales pour une raison troublante : plus de 16 000 personnes y ont disparu depuis les années 1980, sans laisser de traces.Ce chiffre impressionnant alimente la réputation d'une zone où avions, randonneurs, chasseurs et touristes disparaissent inexplicablement. Un des cas les plus célèbres remonte à 1972, lorsque le petit avion transportant le membre du Congrès américain Hale Boggs s'est volatilisé dans la région, sans jamais être retrouvé malgré d'intenses recherches mobilisant l'armée. Ni épave, ni corps, ni explication.Mais que se passe-t-il réellement dans ce triangle de glace ? Plusieurs hypothèses coexistent.D'abord, l'environnement naturel. L'Alaska est une terre extrême : conditions climatiques imprévisibles, blizzards soudains, forêts denses, montagnes escarpées, crevasses cachées sous la neige. À cela s'ajoutent les activités sismiques fréquentes (l'Alaska est l'un des États les plus géologiquement actifs des États-Unis) et la présence de failles tectoniques majeures qui pourraient entraîner des glissements de terrain ou engloutir des objets sans laisser de traces visibles.Ensuite, des phénomènes plus mystérieux sont évoqués. Des témoignages parlent de lumières étranges dans le ciel, de perturbations magnétiques, voire de portails vers d'autres dimensions. Des théories pseudo-scientifiques suggèrent l'existence de vortex énergétiques, comme ceux évoqués dans le mythe du Triangle des Bermudes. Pour les populations autochtones, la région est habitée par des esprits ou créatures surnaturelles, comme le Kushtaka, une entité mi-loutre mi-humaine qui attirerait les voyageurs perdus vers leur perte.Enfin, certains chercheurs évoquent des causes plus humaines : isolement extrême, trafics illicites, ou fugues délibérées. Dans une région aussi vaste, peu peuplée et difficile d'accès, il est relativement facile de disparaître… volontairement ou non.En résumé, le Triangle de l'Alaska est célèbre car il cumule des disparitions massives, un environnement hostile et des légendes captivantes. Dangereux à la fois par la nature et par les mystères qu'il inspire, il reste l'un des lieux les plus énigmatiques d'Amérique du Nord. Un triangle où la frontière entre réalité et mythe se brouille à chaque nouvelle disparition. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Send us a textTessa Hulls is the 2025 Pulitzer prize winner for her graphic  memoir Feeding Ghosts. Tessa is only the second graphic novelist to be awarded a Pulitzer Prize, the first being Art Speigleman for Maus in 1992. Tessa was kitchen staff for this past legislative session in Juneau. She worked in the legislative lounge every day making legislators' breakfasts and lunches. No one knew she was an author and certainly no one expected the woman serving us our soup to be announced as the 2025 Pulitzer Prize winner. We discuss her incognito lounge staff role and how it helped her cope with her newfound international fame. Here is a description of Hulls' book which we will be discussing today:"Feeding Ghosts is a powerful graphic memoir that explores the enduring impact of history and generational trauma on three generations of Chinese women. The memoir follows Hulls' grandmother, Sun Yi, a journalist who fled Shanghai after the 1949 Communist victory, and the ways her experiences shaped her daughter and granddaughter. The book delves into themes of love, grief, exile, identity, and the haunting legacy of trauma."

High-quality child care isn’t about fancy buildings or high-tech gadgets - it’s about relationships. Meaningful connections between caregivers and children create the foundation for great early education, no matter the setting. In this episode, we talk to early childhood expert Junlei Li to explore what truly defines high-quality early learning, the many places where children can experience it, and why paying teachers like teachers is key to sustaining quality care. We also visit a home child care in Juneau, Alaska, where exceptional early education is happening every day.
