How Deep the World's Strongest Whirlpool Is
Показать описание
No matter how much you paddle, all your attempts to get the boat under control are in vain. All the water around you has come alive. It’s not a smooth peaceful surface anymore, but a bubbling vortex! What’s worse, it’s dragging you right into the hungry mouth of a giant beast straight from ancient myths! And it has a name: the Saltstraumen Maelstrom…

SUMMARY:
- For centuries these whirlpools, or maelstroms, were a thing of legend. There was no explanation for their existence and no power that could get an unfortunate ship out of their trap.
- Whirlpools are bodies of spinning water that flows towards the center where two currents smash into each other. The result is the birth of a vortex.
- The Saltstraumen Maelstrom is situated on the northern coast of Norway near a town called Bodø. Norway is famous for its coastline covered in rocky fjords.
- This name can be translated as “salty stream”. And that’s probably because every 6 hours, over 100 billion gallons of salty seawater powers through the current in the strait at an impressive 25 mph.
- The current is ferocious enough to make any effort to swim away almost completely futile.
- And a vortex this size will surely drag anyone underwater within seconds. The water here is extremely cold too, so, yeah, getting sucked in would be a bad situation to say the least!
- On the other hand, the Saltstraumen Maelstorm poses little to no threat to boats or ships nowadays.
- Another huge maelstrom gained famed thanks to authors like Edgar Allan Poe and Jules Verne. It’s the Old Sow Whirlpool – the biggest maelstrom in the Western Hemisphere.
- Sometimes it even shoots weak fountains to the surface so it becomes bloated and unnaturally still.
- The current running through the islands of Naruto and Awaji flows at 12 mph. When the spring tides begin, vortices here can be over 65 feet in diameter, which is about as long as a bowling lane.
- Corryvreckan’s whirlpool is the second largest maelstrom in the world, and it calms down only for about an hour or so a day.
- Some people actually try to swim across this thing! They’re called “wild swimmers” and the Gulf of Corryvreckan is a hotspot for them.
