The Bay of Fundy - Nova Scotia, Canada
The Bay of Fundy is widely regarded as one of the worlds natural wonders. Situated in New Brunswick / Nova Scotia, the bay undergoes one of the biggest tidal flows of anywhere on the planet rising to around 50 feet 15 metres in places.
This huge influx of water creates a plethora of watery phenomena like back eddys, rip currents and the like.
The high tides that hit this area are caused by the Bay of Fundy’s unique shape, which funnels water up the tidal basin.
Abrasive tidal flows have resulted in some staggering coastal formations. At Hopwell Rocks great shards of red sandstone have been carved away.
This unique tidal system has also fostered it’s own unique eco system rich in sea creatures.
The Bay of Fundy is must see for tourists visiting the east coast of Canada. A natural wonder of staggering beauty.
