Bay of Fundy & Geocliffs

The Bay of Fundy, a sweeping marine wonder between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, is globally renowned for possessing the highest tidal range on Earth. This dramatic phenomenon is driven by a unique “tidal resonance,” where the natural rocking motion of the water within the bay’s funnel-shaped basin perfectly synchronizes with the Atlantic Ocean’s 12.4-hour tidal cycle.
