1:59 Why to represent the current native peoples of Patagonia do you place images of South Africans and Mexicans!!!??? The first image of the group of people is by photographer Harry M. Troter taken in Cape Town (South Africa) at Christmas 2000, the second image of the woman and the baby in her arms has a source in a Mexican electronic newspaper that deals the issue of discrimination in Yucatan - Mexico.
I just finished the best selling book called The Wager, a british man-of-war that was shipwrecked in that area. It makes a FASCINATING read only made even better by your video!
It is a very good descriptive video, although it would be correct to indicate that the passage was discovered 90 years before the Dutch navigators by the Spanish explorer Francisco de Hoces, therefore the place is also known as "Mar de Hoces"
Very interesting, but is pretty annoying to stop to translate the measurements, to meters, celsius and other normal units used outside the USA. Should I understand that this was created for “US audiences only”? Nice if you could mention international measurements also.
it's a place I've heard about a few times. I've was lucky enough to talk to a man who has been around the cape Horn he said it was Beautiful but deadly. As it's a place I would like to see .

I got my Cape Horn Earring in the Falkland Islands in 1982, we had earlier crossed the Southern ocean from New Zealand in a 39 foot Ketch, rounded Cape Horn and arrived in Port Stanley around 1 or 2 in the morning, we then proceeded to celebrate and got very very drunk, all non earring wearers were pierced, i.e. just me. The skipper got a stud and just pushed it through my ear lobe, he struggled to get it through and it took some heavy pushing and prodding which wasn't ideal. We ended up asleep by around 6am and were then woken by local officials at 7am to clear us in (immigration etc) and to give us our mail, apparently, we were seen arriving during the night. The Butler/chauffeur from the governor's mansion also arrived inviting us to a lunch with the governor, we were not looking our best. We ended up leaving the Falklands a week later after an amazing fun drunken stay and about 2 weeks before they were invaded by Argentina, actually we were still sailing to our next port in Brazil when we heard of the invasion on BBC radio.
I love sea stories. The ocean calls to me. I fucked up my life early on and as a 30 year old woman with a criminal record, I don’t think any ship would have me but im still looking. My father, grandfather and great-grandfather were all seamen. It’s the only place I’ve ever felt at home.
@@corriedalefarm Hi there, not too much chance of me making it back I'm afraid, though I would love to see how it has changed since I was there in 82, I'm sure it's almost unrecognisable to me today, we were on a strict timetable back then and didn't have a lot of time to explore but we were treated very well by the locals and the military that were stationed there, we had a wonderful very memorable week.
@howardkip99 i have some vidoes on my UA-cam but there is loads of other poeple visting and showing bit if there is anything you.would be interested in seeing let me know and more then happy to take pics for you etc.the Airport has really opened the island up since the conflict and now with tourist and fishing, and farming the islands are starting to hit the 21st century. Poeple are still the same favour for a favour especially out in the country side Stanley is still the same but is starting to get to the rat race as they say.

I sailed around Cape Horn once in my maritime career in January 1978 and it was as calm as a mill pond. More correctly Hornos Island, Chile (in English) as opposed to Horn Island Australia.

Actually the average windspeed is not even close to 95 miles per hour, that is ridiculous, I personally have rounded the Horn twice and the most we saw the first time was a squall which reached 50 knots for a short time then moderated to 30-40knts, the second time it was serious heavy weather returning from Antarctica and even then we would have been only getting 40 -45 knots and higher in the gusts, The average wind speed is the highest in the world but actually it's for gale force strength winds not hurricane force and only 30 per cent of the time during winter months , I think Gale force is around 35 knots, well under half what this video claims and certainly not 100 per cent of the time. In the summertime season when most boats go round the average wind speeds are much less with about a 5 per cent chance of gale force winds.
Thank you for your very interesting story! When we were making this video, we used official data and always double-checked the information we shared in our videos. However, there is always a possibility that official data might be incorrect or inaccurate.
If the Maluku Islands were the point of interest here, I don't understand why those European explorers didn't take the route crossing Africa's Cape of Good Hope instead of Cape Horn. The map shows not only a shorter route but a safer one.
I was there in December 23. We had a flat calm sea, no wind and about 50 degrees. I went horse back riding on the Beagle Channel. The city there Ushuaia is fairly busy. The weather doesn't get above 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The houses tend towards contemporary. Not really well constructed and pretty much no landscaping

We need Antartica to stay cold for there to be stable weather elsewhere. Apart from which it would be the largest civil engineering project ever undertaken in history, bankrupt any country that financed such a project and be almost impossible to achieve.
@@hewitc Water speeds should be calculated in knots. One knot is one nautical mile per hour. One nautical mile is calculated as 1,852 metres or approximately 1.15078 statute miles. It is derived from one minute or one sixtieth of a degree of latitude. Wind speeds are also calculated in knots for mariners and airmen.
We are curious to hear your opinion about this video in the comments.

cool to learn what the earing on a sailor actually means. i always used to tell people it means they like other sailors
Been around and through it - coming and going both ways. Incredibly beautiful. I remember the 95 mph winds, didn’t know that was the norm!
The average wind speed is not 95 mph. That’s an absurd idea.
Yes. 😂 Absurd.
Call out the BS
Ya, that's the wind speed of a category 4 hurricane.
I agree 95 mph is beyond adsurd,,
Time for a retraction.
@@ElSantoLuchadorno that is a category 2 hurricane
Why does every sentence sound the same? Is nothing of greater or lesser significance? Are there no drama students looking for voice work?
Glad I wondered onto you video, amazing and informative! TYS
A grave historical mistake: Drake Passage was discovered by spanish adventurer Francisco de Hoces in 1526.
That's the talent of the British - Arriving late (or not at all) and claiming all the credit.

The graveyard of the Pacific. 2,000 ships. And the bar is a brutal stretch of water. Not for the faint of heart.

Been there done that
3 oceans meet there and swells and waves can get much higher

The Drake Passage
We get a much better Insight of it
Thanks for every of your effort
I sailed there too once in 2017 and twice in the magellan strait.
Some great film, but please don't blot out big chunks with massive captions

Tis the way the wind blows. Westerlys in the southern Ocean as a rule
Esa ruta era controlada por los portugueses
Because the Spanish and Portuguese couldn't cross into each other's territories.
Look at the price the Panama Canal charges to small boats.
Impressive

Just build a dam between South America and Antarctica. This would kill the current and warm Antarctica.

"Average speed of 91 mph". Same video "maximum speed of 9"
winds = 91 mph water current = 9
