This livestream offers a real-time view of the Saltstraumen Maelstrom in Bodø, Norway. Witness the world's strongest tidal current as it churns through the narrow 150-meter-wide strait, creating powerful whirlpools up to 10 meters in diameter and 5 meters deep. The current flows at speeds of up to 37 km/h, making it a captivating natural spectacle. The camera is positioned beneath the Saltstraumen Bridge, providing a dynamic perspective of the swirling waters. The best time to observe the maelstrom is during the changing tides, approximately every six hours, when the current is at its peak
