A Nasa satellite has provided jaw-dropping pictures of a huge 'storm' brewing under the sea.

The swirling mass of water - which measures a whopping 93 miles wide - has been spotted off the coast of South Africa by the Terra satellite on December 26.

But there's no need to alert international shipping, or worry about the poor fish that might find themselves in an endless washing cycle - the body of water poses no threat.

Could this become our giant blue spot as opposed to the giant red spot on Jupiter? Is that such a stretch? Who's to say that's not where the giant red spot came from, some smarter than thou scientists thinking to much, and creating a H.A.R.R.P. on that planet also.

Amazing. Maybe the tilt of the axis is creating some effects in the oceans in 2012~
