站上渦之道的玻璃地板,看著海水在腳下45公尺處盤旋。鳴門海峽每日兩次擠壓4.48億立方公尺的海水穿越德島與淡路島之間的窄道,形成時速20公里、大潮期間直徑可達20公尺的漩渦。轟鳴聲會透過橋樑結構向上迴盪。
我第一次造訪時正逢小潮,只見平靜的海面,碼頭邊兩位失望的船長正在抽菸。3月滿月時再度造訪:海峽同時翻騰著數十個漩渦,有些持續2到3分鐘才崩解成泡沫。查不查潮汐表,決定了你看到的是一片空蕩的海峽,還是一場地質奇觀。
這個現象的原理是這樣的:大阪灣(北側)與紀伊水道(南側)的潮汐週期相差數小時。當灣內漲潮遇上水道退潮,1.5公尺的水位差會將海水猛烈擠壓穿過長1.3公里的海峽。水下地形——驟降至90公尺的深溝、岩石露頭——擾亂水流,旋出漩渦。大潮(滿月/新月)會將此現象放大至20公尺的巨型漩渦。小潮則只產生平緩水流。物理法則毫不留情。
漫畫《火影忍者》的作者岸本齊史,借用了這片漩渦意象作為主角姓名與村莊象徵的靈感來源。當地紀念品店對此大力發揮——別意外看到火影拉麵碗與頭帶紀念品。
