Resumen

La costa atlántica ibérica se caracteriza típicamente por incisiones que afectan profundamente la plataforma continental, comúnmente conocidas como cañones submarinos. Entre los cañones submarinos situados frente a la costa atlántica portuguesa se encuentran los cañones de Porto, Aveiro, Nazaré y Lisboa-Setúbal, destacando por sus dimensiones, características y dinámica los cañones de Nazaré y Lisboa-Setúbal. Nazaré es una pequeña ciudad situada a unos 100 km al norte de Lisboa, conocida mundialmente por la aparición de olas gigantes recientemente surfeadas. El Cañón de Nazaré es uno de los cañones submarinos más grandes de Europa. Tiene unos 225 km de largo y 5000 m de profundidad máxima, con varias pendientes pronunciadas. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo contribuir a la comprensión general de la dinámica de los sistemas de cañones a lo largo de la costa atlántica portuguesa. Se habla del Cañón de Nazaré y sus olas gigantes. También se proporciona una breve descripción de las olas gigantes surfeadas más recientes y que figuran en el libro Guinness.
