The Bay of Fundy in eastern Canada is remarkable for the great rise and fall of its tides. In the lower reaches this is about 25 feet, which increases towards the upper end till in some parts it reaches 60 feet. In many places only an expanse of red mud can be seen at low water, over which the tide rushes in a wall often six feet high. A remarkable fact is that at spring tides the water in the Bay of Fundy is 19 feet higher than in Northumberland Strait, which is only 15 miles away.
