Norwegian Nature: Saltstraumen on an autumn day

Saltstraumen in the municipality of Bodø in Northern Norway on an autumn day. Saltstraumen is the strongest tidal current in the world. Up to 400,000,000 cubic meters of seawater forces its way through a 3 kilometer long and 150 meter wide strait every six hours. Whirlpools or maelstroms up to 10 meters in diameter and 5 meters in depth are formed when the current is at its strongest

It's just Aussies liking the video.

Did the English version use a Norwegian accent?

Was there for the first time today. Not a whirl in sight. My typical timing.

How many whirlpools are in there?

Great footage and nice edit, the song fits very well! Thank you. 👍 May i ask to use some parts of this video for a KZbin clip on my own channel? Of course i would give credit to your channel.

[@tursidensalten8402]

@@tursidensalten8402 Very appreciated. Thanks for your fast response.

Se cair na agua já era! Extremamete perigoso!

[@bluewhalestudioblenderanim1132]

it's interesting that in a few other tidal rapids there are whirlpools as wide as 30% to 50% of this entire straight and altho it's not impossible , it is very rare to see whirlpools comparable to the size of the rapids that form them but as far as I know there's not even one tidal rapid with this characteristic , and I've realy tried to find one

Nobody cares, this video shows Saltstraumen

I wonder how many people died there. Scary stuff.

[@tursidensalten8402]

Seems to be around 50 deaths with recorded names, from the year 1900 and up

[@Sittin.]

@@tursidensalten8402 OK!? That´s surprisingly few considering that if you fall into the water it feels like you have quite a small chance of survival, even if you wear a life jacket. Feels like it would just prolong the pain :(

[@tursidensalten8402]

@@Sittin. Yeah, i guess people are good at staying away from the edge when the current is at the strongest. From 1900 to 1970 15 people are recorded drowned by boat accidents, i guess the boats got better from 1970. The remaining 35 maybe fell into the water, not much info to find about this subject

@@tursidensalten8402 That is a lot actually!

[@agctech]

Well, considering that each 2,5 years one idiot appears to fall in the deadly current, that's few... There are a lot of idiots out there.
