Description

Il est formé par la conjonction de forts courants entre les îles de Moskenesøya et Værøy, près de l'îlot de Mosken, et par la grande amplitude des marées. À la différence de nombreux phénomènes similaires, il est situé en pleine mer, et non dans un détroit ou un cours d'eau.

Il est le maelstrom le plus fréquemment décrit. Les descriptions qu'en font Edgar Allan Poe et Jules Verne le dépeignent comme un gigantesque tourbillon qui découvre le fond de l'océan, alors qu'en réalité il s'agit d'un ensemble de courants et contre-courants atteignant 18 km/h.
