This video was taken on board a Russian vessel crossing the Drake Passage between Ushuaia (Argentina) and the Antarctic Peninsula. The Drake Passage is known as the roughest sea on earth with severe storms almost at any times and extremely huge waves. We were hit by a storm sailing north that lasted two days with 14m waves.

    Fascinating footage. Wind velocity, duration, and fetch make for some horrendous sailing conditions and monster waves!

    Did you know that if a whale goes to this part of the ocean it can hear the songs of whales in both the Atlantic and Pacific, needless to say it can get very confusing for them.
