The Corryvreckan is a powerful tidal whirlpool and series of standing waves created where strong Atlantic currents are forced over complex underwater topography between the islands of Scarba and Jura, Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
It is most dramatic during spring tides, when lunar-driven currents produce the largest whirlpools and boiling water features.
