Researchers from Liverpool University found in the ocean never previously registered an abnormal phenomenon, reports Rus.Media. With the help of satellites recorded the water level and the temperature of its surface, was discovered two giant whirlpool, moved long distances at high speed.

Eddies were observed in the Tasman sea East of Australia. Another such case was registered in the South Atlantic to the West coast of South Africa. According to scientists, this formation can quickly carry small marine animals over long distances.

The researchers discovered eddies rotate in opposite directions, although interrelated with each other. The researchers observed joint movement of these entities during 6 months.

Ocean eddies are nearly always heading West, but this pair is able to move to the East at a speed 10 times the speed of conventional whirlpools, scientists say. According to the researchers, for the existence of such entities need a region of calm water.
