Storm Waves Covering Cirkewwa Lighthouse and Harbour

Gale force winds forcing the sea over the lighthouse and large parts of the Cirkewwa ferry harbour in northern Malta.

Powerful gale force winds drive heavy Mediterranean swell into the harbour of Cirkewwa on Malta’s northern coast. Large waves rise and break over the lighthouse located on the ferry pier, sending sea spray across wide parts of the harbour area. The dramatic scene highlights the force of winter storms that frequently batter Malta’s exposed northern shoreline.
