  • 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.
    Dieses Video wurde an Bord eines russischen Schiffes aufgenommen auf einer Fahrt durch die Drake Passage zwischen Ushuaia (Argentinien) und der Antarktischen Halbinsel. Die Drake Passage ist bekannt als das stürmischste See auf der Welt mit starken Stürmen fast zu jeder Zeit und extrem riesigen Wellen. Bei Nordkurs wurden wir von einem Sturm getroffen, der uns über zwei Tage mit Bft 10 bis zu 14m Wellen begleitete.

      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.

    • @TrollMeister_
      @TrollMeister_ 3 роки тому +22

      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.

      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.

      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".
