Choses à Savoir
Pourquoi le "Triangle de l'Alaska" est-il si dangereux ?

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."

Ky left Alaska for college in Oregon and stayed away for over a decade. Returning in the late 90s, he continued his work as a mechanical engineer, but expanded into academia and eventually into entrepreneurship. Lack of state investment in the private sector has motivated his legislation during his freshman session in Juneau. But it was a fear that we wouldn't properly fund our schools that led him to run for office for the first time in 2024.

In this mini-episode, we sit down with author Julie Hammonds to discuss her debut novel, Blue Mountain Rose: A Novel in Five Acts. Set against the backdrop of a fictional Shakespeare festival in the Arizona mountains during the 2009 financial crisis, the story follows theater director Richard Keane, company manager Kate Morales, and enigmatic actor Peter Dunmore as they strive to save their beloved open-air stage. Julie shares insights into how Shakespeare's works inspired the novel's structure and themes, the challenges of portraying the behind-the-scenes world of theater, and the enduring relevance of the Bard's plays in times of personal and collective hardship. Whether you're a Shakespeare aficionado, a theater enthusiast, or a lover of character-driven narratives, this conversation offers a compelling look into the intersections of art, community, and resilience. Blue Mountain Rose is now available at booksellers near you and on our Bookshop.com storefront. About Julie Hammonds Julie Hammonds fell in love with Hamlet during a high school trip to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and has nurtured her passion for Shakespeare ever since. She learned to run a light board on an Army base in South Korea, studied the plays on her own and in school, stage-managed The Winter's Tale and Much Ado About Nothing, and became the founding board president of the Flagstaff Shakespeare Festival. Along the way, she decided to complete the canon as an audience member by seeing Shakespeare's plays performed on as many different stages as she can reach. The quest has taken her from a community hall in Juneau, Alaska, to the noteworthy festivals in Stratford, Ontario, and Cedar City, Utah, to Shakespeare's Globe in London and the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-upon-Avon. She has four plays to go. This is her first novel. Shakespeare Anyone? is created and produced by Kourtney Smith and Elyse Sharp. Music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander.

The Surfer’s Journal presents Soundings with Jamie Brisick

Kylie Manning is a painter, surfer, and fisher based in Brooklyn, New York. Her parents were both art teachers, and, while she was growing up, the family moved between their home in Juneau, Alaska, to various regions in Mexico, which would inform her artwork—and her surfing. She is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts with a double major in philosophy and visual arts. While she was getting her MFA at the New York Academy of Art, she had a captain's license to operate 500-ton commercial fishing boats on international waters, and spent her summers catching salmon on the Pacific coast. Manning has gained global respect for her abstract figurative paintings, which embody powerful yet delicate compositions with brushstrokes that seem to be in motion. Her work is held in numerous collections worldwide, including the Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, Florida; and the X and Yuz Museums in China. In this episode of Soundings, Manning talks with Jamie Brisick about weather and wonderment, beauty and brawls aboard commercial fishing vessels, atmospheric fascination, style, her proudest artworks, the nuances between grit and growth, and her collaboration with the New York City Ballet.
