The world’s greatest tidal range. The unusually high tides in the Bay of Fundy are caused by the shape of the coastline. As water enters the bay, it is constricted and piles up in the narrow funnel of the bay. The inset photos show the same location at Hopewell Cape, in New Brunswick, at low tide (top) and at high tide (bottom).(Top, © Danita Delimont/Gallo Images/Getty Images; bottom: © Edward Kinsman/Photo Researchers/Getty Images)
