It is called Silent Zone because of a myth which states that radio waves cannot be transmitted due to local magnetic fields. Their studies were focused on Hertzian waves and showed that the horizontal propagation of radio waves was normal but that the vertical was cut off completely, thus causing the phenomenon of "silence." These scientists concluded that this anomaly was not a function of position, but of time. In 1976, the National Institute of Nuclear Energy sent two engineers to the Zone: Ray Cruz, winner of the National Science Prize, and Jorge Aguilera, an expert in electronic design. It was also confirmed that Geiger counters register high concentrations of energy in the area. According to de la Pena the results were positive. The University of Monclova explored and tested for iron ore in the region. The University of Guadalajara sent 30 investigators to the area, including biologists, geologists, and zoologists. In 1975 the Historical Studies society of Chihuahua focused attention on the Zone with a program of research, seminars and conferences. Scientific curiosity led him to investigate the phenomenon further, and his findings caused quite a stir. By chance, he discovered that there were certain places where it was impossible to communicate by radio. In the 1960's, an engineer by the name of Harry Augusto de la Pena was assigned to explore the area, now known as the Zone of Silence, by PEMEX, the Mexican state petroleum industry. En este recorrido visitaremos varios pueblos mágicos en el desierto para terminar el día. The Zone of Silence is part of the great Mapimi Basin, one of the most important depressions in the Mexican highlands, which drop from an average of 2,000 to 1,000 meters above sea level, thus forming the beginning of the prairies of western North America. Un tour donde podrás conocer uno de los lugares más enigmáticos de México rodeado de mucho misticismo, la llamada Zona del Silencio en lo que es la Reserva de la Biósfera de Mapimí que pertenece a Chiahuahua, Durango y Coahuila. Its area is unknown, but has been roughly estimated as a circle with a radius of 50 kilometers, and the center is the Vertice de Trino, a point which marks the juncture of the states of Durango, Coahuila and Chihuahua. The Zone of Silence is located between the 26th and 28th parallels, along the 104th meridian. La Zona Del Silencio, by Richard Ogulnick
