A 30m-wide whirlpool seen in the ocean off the Wild Coast could be linked to climate change. Photographed on August 17 by Green Scorpion Robert Stegmann during a routine SAPS air patrol, the images show one and possibly even two of the spinning holes in the ocean. Whirlpools are dangerous for ocean users and this one was 245m off Rame Head point, East London Museum principal natural scientist Kevin Cole said.
