A video taken by Samy Jacobsen and published by his sister Helen Waag on YouTube shows the incredible phenomenon of water flowing up the side of a 470-metre Beinisvørð cliff while forming a rare sea vortex.
A spiral-shaped column, resembling a small tornado, was caught on camera in Suðuroy, Faroe Islands. The phenomenon is believed to be the result of the interaction of the wind and water splashes, with the edge of the cliff speeding up the rotation of the water.
