Bizarre 'double whirlpools' seen in the ocean

[Still Waters 25,821]

For the first time, scientists have recorded a bizarre phenomenon in fluid dynamics, which up until now had only ever been theoretically predicted, but never observed in the wild.

In the ocean, vast whirlpools called eddies span up to hundreds of kilometres across and are a relatively common event. But now researchers have observed these giant vortices swirling in tandem: two connected whirlpools spiralling in opposite directions.

Absolutely gorgeous. I would have preferred a photo of the modon, though.
