It is known as the ‘Bermuda Triangle of Space’. A region where the Earth’s inner Van Allen radiation belt makes its closest approach to the planet’s surface. The result is that, for a given altitude, the radiation intensity is higher over this region than elsewhere. The Anomaly in the radiation belt results from the fact that the planet’s magnetic field is not perfectly aligned with its geographic center and poles.

Due to the intensive radiation, the astronauts in the satellite like International space station experiences the light flashes and even satellites and air crafts go on failure if it’s not prepared for high-intensive radiation. It also affects the orbiting satellite like the Hubble Space telescope does not take observations while passing through the South Atlantic Anomaly, for instance.
