The current

The current
by Olivier Jarry-lacombe


Situated 200 kilometers north of the polar circle, the world's strongest tidal current forms every 6 hours. This powerful flow is capable of swallowing boats that venture to ascend it. Identified as Saltstraumen, this current has inspired various legends, a testament to the impressive whirlpools it consistently forms.
