Summary:

Reading Time: 2 minutes The strongest tidal current in the world transports 400 million cubic meters of water in six hours. The waters reach speeds up to 20 knots or 25 mph. This causes some serious turbulence in the waters, generating these maelstroms. You can even visit them by boat. Remember the Caledonian folding at Saltstraumen from last week? […] The post Maelstrom of Saltstraumen appeared first on The Way of the Geophysicist.
