For centuries, Bermeja appeared off the Yucatán Peninsula, promising riches and strategic advantage. But in 1997, the Mexican Navy’s search came up empty. Did Bermeja erode away, or was it never real? Some claim the island was deliberately erased to manipulate oil rights in the Gulf of Mexico. Dive into this enigmatic case with antique maps, haunting ocean footage, and stunning AI visuals bringing the ghost island to life—and then fading away.
