🌎 The Bay of Fundy's tides rise up to 16 metres, the highest on Earth Twice a day the tide in the bay between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia rises and falls by as much as 16 metres, the height of a four- or five-storey building. More than 100 billion tonnes of water flow in and out with each tide, more than all the world's rivers carry in the same time. At Hopewell Rocks you can walk on the sea floor among the rock "flowerpots" at low tide and kayak around them six hours later. Canada 🇨🇦

❄️ −63 °C: the coldest day North America has ever recorded February 3, 1947, in Snag, Yukon. The few people there said their breath froze into a fine powder that hissed as it fell, and they could hear dogs barking kilometres away. Snag had already broken the old record the day before, with −62.2 °C. The previous low, −61.7 °C at Fort Good Hope, had stood since 1910. In the photo: winter cabins near Dawson, Yukon, around 1899.
