Storm in the Drake Passage 

Me, too!

Read the book ENDURANCE: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing

Agree

Storm in Sea of Hoces, spanish, 1526. The pirate Drake did't passed it, he got back.

Greg Belcamino it’s that bad?

That bad. Thirty hours through thirty-foot seas in a pretty big cruise ship. No problem sailing from Ushuaia to the Antarctic Peninsula, but the we had to return . . .

Looks fun to me but I think it’s just me

God Bless you!!!

Was antarctica worth it?

God Bless you!!!

This is terrifying and beautiful at the same time 😃🤢

Same here

Thanks, Lannie.

Lannie Wise that's spectacular

Store your booze in plastic containers!!!

I think the wind is just an audio effect on top of it. I have navigated the DP a few times, it's usually quiet on the bridge despite hearing the waves slamming against the hull and and a few gusts hear and that. The consistent wind is either picked up by an external camera (which I doubt) or just a sound effect put over the video.

I don't think they were laughing at that one wave that hit them which Shackleton describes as the largest wave he had ever seen. How can't imagine surviving what they went through.

Nearly finished Endurance and about 25 pages from the end - it's that book which brought me here to get a look!

@@AlanGregorySEO Reading it now. I don’t see how they didn’t become hypothermic and freeze to death with them being constantly drenched.

They weren't laughing they were terrified and rightfully so . That is what makes them amazing is despite their fear they faced it and did it anyway

I know yeah! Crazy what they went through - did a tough mudder the other day and had to jump in an ice bath - 20 seconds felt like 20 minutes - they practically lived in it! The book is brilliant isn't it!

If you were to drop from a ship into the water, you would almost certainly die by drowning even if you were a world class swimmer. The reason for that is a chain of events triggered as a result of sudden exposure to extreme cold. After hitting the water you wouldn't stop at the water level. You would continue to sink for some time because you fell from a height, but the frigid water would trigger hypothermic shock in your body which would cause you to "gasp"..rapidly suck in air similar to how you would if you suddenly stepped into an ice cold shower in the winter. The difference is in this case when your gasp reflex is triggered , you are at least 15 - 20 ft under water. You will be sucking in _water_ , not air, - ice cold sea water. Your lungs would quickly fill and you would sink to the bottom of the ocean. In fact this is the fate of most passengers who fall off cruise ships. They drown and their bodies are never found. And the water does not need to be frigid - sea water at temps below 65F will trigger the reflex in most people.

@@TrollMeister_ If that's true, that's interesting.

@@TrollMeister_ thank you for typing all this out this was very informative

@@TrollMeister_ that is horrifying. Thanks for the info

pretty sure it takes the whole 48 hours could be wrong

???

Omg same!

Yess it look like a huge wave

Yes! My heart stopped for a few seconds!

the fucking music

Thanks for your comment. This was a relatively small ship and the storm was unusually violent. But there was no real danger. It was just very unpleasant, no sleep, no food and almost all people were seasick

@@xeniacolours Frightening yet simultaneously beautiful! (The sound of the howling winds, too!)

they used to use the channel nearby, but not for large ships. the panama canal made things considerably easier.

*ship.

You wear the yellow pants

Always that jackass that wants to correct everything. Boat/ship, who gives a fuk, we know what they are talking about 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Hello, kannst mich gern kontaktieren: info@bild-art.de

The Drake Passage is considered one of the most treacherous voyages for ships to make. Currents at its latitude meet no resistance from any landmass, and waves top 40 feet, hence its reputation as "the most powerful convergence of seas". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_Passage

😂😂😂😂😂

DubCoree me lol

ME

thought i was the only one who cared. i really liked that story though, im saving it when it gets released to the public

DubCoree yup

This is late but me lol

You can expect stormy weather in the Drake at any time. These furiuos 50s winds have no land mass to slow them down. However it depends on the fast moving wheather systems, I had very calm crossings as well as really dangerous storms, so be prepared.

Gee, you think? Really?

applesinthebackyard shut the fuck up

This was the Prof Multanovsky

Touchy issues ooooohhhhhhhh shut up

@Oliver Rhodes Joe Biden senile

As he loves you dear brother

Jesus died nearly 2000 years ago.

It only sends a chill down your spine.

The fatter the arse, the bigger the waves!
