The Quests are famous for their globetrotting adventures, covering locales both familiar and mysterious. As Peter Lawrence wrote:
"Intense. Photorealistic. Every locale is caught in its most dramatic moments. Every geographic, climatic mood pushed to its extreme. A world whose look matches—extends—the range, the sophistication and the drama of the stories. A world where a decaying urban centre is as exotic as a Himalayan mountain peak. Where a National Park forest can be as mysterious as the Amazon Jungle. Where the White House can be the domain of an extraterrestrial spy and the Everglades the home of a hitherto undiscovered band of Viking Native Americans. Arctic and Antarctic. Unexplored submarine canyons. South American jungles and Australian wilds. African plains. Russian steppes. Every corner of the world yields its mysterious secrets to Jonny Quest. But Jonny goes beyond our known world, exploring legends of the supernatural, of lost civilizations and wrinkles in time—finally entering the Virtual Reality of Cyberspace."
Paul Robison has contributed a work-in-progress Google Maps board for the Quests' destinations; check it out here.
Multiple
101 The Darkest Fathoms
Location: Bermuda Island 65.27W, 33.04N (1,080 miles)
Reality: Bermuda and surrounding areas
Mr. Avary and his crew explore for oil in the area, and are attacked by the Black Jack Lee Impostor, who safeguard the wreck of the Ivory Web in hopes of recovering its treasure. Dr. Quest comes with an investigation, exposing the impostor's plans; soon after, the wreck is lost in a trench.
Bermuda is a populated British overseas territory in the North Atlantic ocean. It's associated in popular culture with the Bermuda Triangle, a conceptual triangle with points at Bermuda, the coast of Florida, and the coast of Puerto Rico, and the subject of urban legends about ship and airplane disappearances. Though the rate of disappearances and crashes is the same for any other stretch of ocean in the world, the Bermuda Triangle remains a popular choice in disaster and paranormal fiction.
