Description
Bay of Fundy, Canada ...
The Bay of Fundy is located on the Atlantic Ocean coastline of North America, at the northeast end of the Gulf of Maine between the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. A small portion of the bay touches the northeast corner of the state of Maine.
Covering 3,600 square miles (9,300 square km), the Bay of Fundy is well known for its tides. Both arms of the bay are macro-tidal and with 17 meters (56 ft) fluctuations, it has the highest tides in the world. The shores are misshapen with numerous coves and several large and deep water harbors. Steep bedrock cliffs form spectacular rock formations, some rising 60 meters (200 ft) high, surround the bay. Dense forests line its shores and fertile agricultural land created by dikes, from its on-land marshes, complete the scenery.
Each day 100 billion tonnes of seawater flows in and out of the Bay of Fundy during one tide cycle; more than the combined flow of the world's freshwater rivers!
Visitors can see two extraordinary high and low tides every 24 hours. The time between a high tide and a low tide is, on average, six hours and 13 minutes. As such, you can reasonably expect to see at least one high and one low tide during daylight hours. Tide times move ahead approximately one hour each day, and tide times vary slightly for different locations around the Bay.
