    The differential between high and low tides in Alaska is crazy to me. I’m used to only a few feet in the mid Atlantic.

    From high tide this afternoon to the low tide going out right now, Juneau will have a 17 foot swing.

      Canada apparently get the highest with 11.7 metres (38.4 feet) mean tidal range, which I found out by accident because I was actually looking up the range specifically for the UK out of curiosity, knowing it was high but not realising it would be on the top 3 list (E: with maximum range in the Bristol Channel being 15 metres (49 feet)! ) lol
