Bermeja is name of mystery. For
centuries, the word is written in maps and navigation of the Gulf of
Mexico near a small island, narrow and long, off the coast of Yucatan.
But since 12 years ago no one can find.
A scientific expedition of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
last week to search the sea where, at the beginning of the sixteenth
century, was sighted a rock color of fire, which put the name of Vermeja
(Red).
The technical Mexicans used aircraft and ships with probes to photograph
the seabed at a depth of over 1500 meters, but the verdict was
disturbing: there is no island or traces of it in 223 square kilometers
of the area examined. And no one seems to have existed in the past
five-thousand and three hundred years.
The mystery in itself sufficient to raise the curiosity. But for the
Mexican Government, that island has a missing value more tangible.
Bermeja allow Mexico to claim sovereignty over a further 30 miles (55
kilometers) of sea and become, almost exclusively, with the royalties
from the Dona Hoyos, one of the most important oil reserves in the world.
In June 2000, Mexico and the U.S. signed a treaty in which they
undertook to maintain closed the tap of the black gold in that area that
is subject of dispute between the two countries. But the moratorium ends
in 2010. Without the island Bermeja, the last the border of Mexico are
the islands of Alacranes, and Hoyos de Dona, which are 22.5 billion
barrels of crude oil to remove, are under the American flag. |notícia|Menu
