As of today, peak season now, through ~December 31. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The Corryvreckan is a fast tidal channel off the west coast of Argyll, Scotland, where spring tides passing over a shallow pinnacle create powerful vortexes, standing waves and boiling water.
The phenomenon is driven by lunar spring tides and is visible year-round when tidal amplitude and sea conditions align.
