Storm in the Drake Passage
Uploaded by: xeniacolours
Video Description:
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.

would suck to have to go thru this but in the end it's awesome!!!
The real starting point of Drake Pass is not in Ushuaia, but in Cabo De Hornos (Cape Horn), Chile. Its basicaly a straight line between Cape Horn and Shetland Islands in Antartica, about 800 kilometers. Ushuaia is located inside the Beagle Channel, so maybe you tried to say you "sailed from" Ush
uaia :)
