Chapter 15 -- The Maelstrom<br />

The box marks the Caspian Sea region, the subject <strong>of</strong> Chapter 69.<br />

Mundus Subterraneus misplaced the Moskenstrom, but Kircher provided a more accurate<br />

location in other publications. Below is his portrayal <strong>of</strong> the Moskenstrom feeding a "Meatus<br />

Subterraneus," Latin for "burrow," to the interior.<br />

When the level <strong>of</strong> the Gulf <strong>of</strong> Bothnia is raised to a sufficient height, the current reverses and<br />

aided by flow through a subterranean tunnel from the White Sea, raises the tide on the<br />

Norwegian coast.<br />
