NM6802 : Corryvreckan whirlpool
taken 10 years ago, 4 km NNW of Kinuachdrachd, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
Corryvreckan whirlpool
The whirlpool which forms due to the strong tides and undersea topography in the strait between Scarba and Jura, is not in fact a single phenomenon. Rather it consists of a series of clockwise-circulating bodies of water moving in from the east. The rugged south coast of the Isle of Scarba can be seen beyond.
