Description


Les maelströms Les maelströms, gigantesques tourbillons marins Un maelstrom, ou malstrom, est un puissant tourbillon qui se forme dans la mer ou dans un fleuve. Du danois malstrøm composé de male (« tourner ») et de strøm (« courant ») apparenté à l’anglais stream. Il peut être créé par un courant de marée ou par le courant d’un fleuve. Le terme provient d’une zone particulièrement agitée par le courant de marée entre deux des îles Lofoten en Norvège. Il a pris les proportions légendaires d’une espèce d’entonnoir dont aucun bateau ne pourrait sortir, comme le Charybde sicilien. Il est utilisé par Edgar Allan Poe pour sa nouvelle Une descente dans le maelstrom, par Jules Verne dans Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers et dans Un hivernage dans les glaces et par Arthur Rimbaud dans "Le Bateau Ivre". Lors de la bataille finale du film Pirates des Caraïbes 3, les navires de Jack Sparrow et Davy Jones s’affrontent en tournant autour d’un gigantesque maelstrom. Ce terme vient de la mythologie nordique qui décrit un tourbillon gigantesque et extrêmement puissant qui engloutit navire et êtres humains. Ces tourbillons sont présents un peu partout sur terre et sont associés soit à des forts courants marins qui changent de sens périodiquement, soit à des sorties de fleuves. Le plus puissant maelstrom se trouve par ailleurs à proximité des îles Lofoten, il s’agit du Saltstraumen. Le climat à proximité des îles Lofoten est extrêmement orageux ce qui est un des facteurs qui donnent naissance à ces grands tourbillons. Toutes les six heures, 400 millions de mètres cube d’eau s’engouffrent à des vitesses pouvant atteindre 20 nœuds (40 kilomètres/heure) dans un bras de mer de 150 mètres de large et 3 kilomètres de long qui relie le Saltenfjord et le Skjerstadfjord. Le maelström est dangereux pour les petits bateaux car il forme un entonnoir dans lequel s’engouffre l’eau à la surface. Ces tourbillons sont présents un peu partout sur terre et sont associés soit à des forts courants marins qui changent de sens périodiquement, soit à des sorties de fleuves. __________________________________________________________ The maelstroms, gigantic marine vortices A maelstrom, or malstrom, is a powerful whirlwind that forms in the sea or in a river. Danish malstrøm consisting of male ("turn") and strøm ("current") related to the English stream. It can be created by a current of tide or by the current of a river. The term comes from a zone particularly turbulent by the tidal current between two of the Lofoten islands in Norway. It has assumed the legendary proportions of a kind of funnel from which no boat could come out, like the Sicilian Charybdis. It is used by Edgar Allan Poe for his new A Descent in the Maelstrom, by Jules Verne in Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea and in A Wintering in the Ice and by Arthur Rimbaud in "The Drunk Boat". In the final battle of the movie Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones ships clashing around a gigantic maelstrom. This term comes from the northern mythology which describes a gigantic and extremely powerful whirlpool that engulfs ship and human beings. These vortices are present everywhere on earth and are associated either with strong marine currents which change direction periodically, or with outings of rivers. The most powerful maelstrom is also near the Lofoten islands, the Saltstraumen. The climate near the Lofoten Islands is extremely stormy which is one of the factors that give birth to these great whirlpools. Every six hours, 400 million cubic meters of water flow at speeds of up to 20 knots (40 km / hour) into a 150-meter-wide and 3-kilometer-long inlet that connects the Saltenfjord Skjerstadfjord. The maelstrom is dangerous for small boats because it forms a funnel into which the surface water rushes. These vortices are present everywhere on earth and are associated either with strong marine currents which change direction periodically, or with outings of rivers.
