Hopewell Rocks - Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada
The Bay of Fundy is the home of the highest tides in the world. The Hopewell Rocks, also called the Flowerpot Rocks, are rock formations caused by tidal erosion in The Rocks Provincial Park in New Brunswick. The Canadian Hydrographic Service declared a statistical tie, with measurements of a metre tidal range in Leaf Basin for Ungava Bay and 17 metres at Burntcoat Head for the Bay of Fundy. The highest water level ever recorded in the Bay of Fundy occurred at the head of the Minas Basin on the night of October 4–5, 1869 during a tropical cyclone “Saxby Gale”. The water level of metres resulted from the combination of high winds, abnormally low atmospheric pressure, and a spring tide.
