World's strongest tidal currents in Norway's Saltstraumen
SALTSTRAUMEN, NORWAY - OCTOBER 15: People watch the world´s strongest maelstrom in the village of Saltstraumen, Norway, on October 15, 2022. The whirlpool phenomenon in Saltstraumen is governed by the rise and fall of the currents. Every 6 hours almost 400 million cubic meters of water have to pass through a 3 km long and 150-meter wide strait between Saltenfjord and Skjerstadfjord. The water can move at speeds of up to 20 knots or about 10 meters per second.
