The Bellot Strait is an awe-inspiring sight. With its narrow passage of only two miles, the strait is home to a phenomenon of powerful and unpredictable tides. Every four hours, the currents rush through the strait at a speed of 9 mph (8 knots). The tides flow in opposite directions along the north and south sides of the strait, creating a captivating dance of opposing forces that is both beautiful and formidable. It’s no wonder why this remarkable spectacle draws visitors from across the globe.
Bellot Strait is a great concern for navigators, since passing through it must coincide with slack water at Magpie Rock. Navigating the strait requires precision and a single hard push to make it through safely to avoid potential destruction caused by oncoming tidal surges. And yes, we must conquer this strait to complete our amazing journey—so timing is everything.

Its length (22 miles) is relatively short, but the passage cannot be taken lightly, for it poses a challenge to even experienced sailors.
