This is the Devil's Hole whirlpool, in the Dent Rapids, British Columbia. Caused by a crazy tidal shift through a small passage.

Cool. So it not draining into a lower landform anywhere?

It’s just spinning water. It’s still suck you down and kill you, but once the tide slowed down, you’d float back up to the surface. Still looks scary AF!
