It is not ruled out that the reason for the appearance of the whirlpools off the coast of South America is the same as in other parts of the World Ocean.

It is not ruled out that Provda made the whole story up.

They are symbolic of the impending death of rational thought and scientific method.

Was searching for better pictures and came across this too, underwater whirlpools due to the difference in salinity:

I wonder if these are anywhere near the mysterious, so called, Bermuda Triangle?

I was wondering why the English of this thing sounded so weird, but then I noticed it was from Pravda.

"Rotation occurs at a rate of one meter per second, the speed is sufficiently large compared to the speed of oceanic currents,..."

No, it's not. That's a normal current speed. ...hitched rides on riptides to get behind the waves, when I was a teenager and saw currents while boating in the Gulf.

HAARP?

Nah. These were on maps of the sea when people thought the world was flat.

It’s Global Warming, clearly. Sorry, make that Climate Change.

Even if it forgot to take something into account like Siberia, something as insignificant as that, it just further backs up the science.

Could that be that great sucking sound Ross Perot talked about a few years back?

There is no gravity. The earth sucks.

It started getting spacey about the time that “Natrium” and “Chlorium” appeared in the narrative. This might be the Roosky way of referring to Na+ and Cl-, but come on, the science editor should know more about English-speaking conventions?

Still it can’t be denied that bodies of ocean water (and “fresh water” for that matter) are pretty darn good conductors of electricity. However, given that the earth’s magnetic poles are close to its rotational poles, the rotation of the earth does not cause waters to significantly cut through lines of magnetic flux except near the rotational poles. I’d suspect undersea geography as a reason for whirlpools before I’d suspect electromagnetic interaction with ocean waters.
