Passengers aboard a cruise ship endured huge waves as they traveled through the infamous Drake Passage, a body of water known for its rough conditions located between the tip of the South American continent and Antarctica. #drake #passage #waves #cruise #ship
Lesley Anne Murphy, a travel blogger aboard Quark Expeditions’ Ocean Explorer ship, captured this footage showing passengers falling into walls and sliding across the floor as giant waves crash into the vessel during a return trip from Antarctica.
Murphy estimated some waves were between 30 to 40 feet. She said the ship has a unique design, including paneled windows, which allow passengers to see waves coming.
