How cool is THAT!? Imagine how much energy that "storm" has... imagine how much electricity it could generate if we could tap into it...
Probably because it's not a rare occurrence - this one is just big. From the article: The sea storms - which are better known as eddies - form bizarre whirl shaped shapes deep beneath the ocean's surface. This counter-clockwise eddy is thought to have peeled off from the Agulhas Current, which flows along the southeastern coast of Africa and around the tip of South Africa. Agulhas eddies - also called 'current rings' - tend to be among the largest in the world, transporting warm, salty water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic.
