In Back to the future Part 3 that book is beeing mentioned and since then i wanted to red it. So I did. In the beginning it was sort of Boring and it took a long time to finish it. After reading some other masterpieces i tried this one again and now it is one of my favorites and so is Jules Verne.

      @Crossark1 3 роки тому +32

      You kinda did. The camera was so close to the water that you could only see the edge, but around 1:20 you can see the water appear to rise. In actuality, this is the formation of a vortex pulling the boat back/down towards its center. You can even hear the engine working overtime to overcome the force of that tidal flow.

      Try travelling across it in a small boat, you'll probably need a change of underwear afterwards! A maelstrom doesn't look like a bigger version of the water going down your sink, it is composed of dozens of whirlpools.

      Well - as long as wind and current is running in the same direction it’s not a problem at all. Current may be running at up to 4-5 knots but pretty peacefully. However- as soon as the tide changes and starts running against the wind pretty rough sea can build within minutes!
