The Bay of Fundy : photo report of Philip PlissonComing from California, Philip has traveled on the Eastern coast of the north american continent. The Bay of Fundy in Canada is the first break of our journey to Newport. The Bay of Fundy is 290 km long and only 100 km wide. Its narrowness as well as its low depth contribute to the very important magintude of waters tides in this part of the world.
Elsewhere in the world, the waters rise usually from an average of one meter, however they rise up to 16 meters in the Bay of Fundy.
One hundred billion tons of waters going up and down the Bay every 25 hours implies an erosion effect. The "flowerpot rocks" have been created by the clash of continents, carved by the melting glaciers, then sculpted by the high tides.
The Hopewell Rocks are considered as one of the marine wonders of the world. Shediac, near the Northumberland Strait is well-known for lobster fishing. Shediac is called the world capital of lobster.
