Storm Waves Over Cirkewwa Lighthouse

Gale force winds driving powerful waves over the lighthouse at the Cirkewwa ferry pier in northern Malta.

Strong gale force winds push heavy Mediterranean swell against the exposed harbour structures at Cirkewwa in northern Malta. Large waves surge upward and crash over the lighthouse at the ferry pier, covering the structure with water and sea spray. The dramatic scene illustrates the strength of winter storms that regularly impact Malta’s northern coastline.
