This is the biggest #tide on Earth, and it's in #Canada.

The #BayOfFundy is on Canada's East Coast and it sits between #NovaScotia and #NewBrunswick. And it's enormous.

Twice a day, these waters ebb and flow, and in some places, they rise up to 18 metres — that's nearly 60 feet.

At low tide, the waters recede up to five kilometres, leaving behind 1,000 square kilometres of mud.
