Whirlpools in the sea are fascinating phenomena that occur when opposing currents meet or when water flows rapidly through a narrow channel.
These powerful vortices, ranging from small eddies to massive maelstroms, are formed by the interaction of tides with the surrounding topography, such as narrow straits or underwater features.
Notable examples include the Moskstraumen and Saltstraumen in Norway, and the Naruto Strait in Japan, known for their strong tidal currents.
While whirlpools are a natural wonder, it's crucial to exercise caution when near them, as strong whirlpools can pose a danger to small boats and swimmers.
