Storm on Drake Passage - MV Ushuaia

- On our way on the MV Ushuaia to Antarctica, we had to cross the Drake Passage. The start was calm and beautiful, but soon a storm was coming up. We experienced some magical moments on 12 meter high waves.

Imagine working an old wooden ship in these seas, climbing up and down the mast to set sails in all weather, wondering if you'd live long enough to ever be dry again. Brave, brave men.
Thank you for posting this video! I was on the MV Ushuaia early in 2017 crossing the Drake passage. It was so rough the first night that I kept getting slammed against the wall and railing of my bed all night long and got no sleep. So the next morning I had housekeeping give me some extra pillows and using those and some spare clothes I stuffed them under my mattress to make a lengthwise trough in the center of the mattress to hold me in one position for sleeping.
Drake passage is pure adventure! Thanks for the tip. I will try it next time;-)
@@jobvanderveer5254 thanks a lot for this video .
AMÉRICA DEL SUR 🌎 CHILE 🇨🇱 👍 🌊🚢🙏gracias por tu excelente trabajo y ESPERIENCIA , viví esas mismas travesía por trabajo varias veces pero en en un viaje en pleno invierno casi nuestro gigantesco navío se hunde y todos perecemos gracias a él Dios supremo estamos vivos 🌬️🌊🌀🚢
Muy buenas las imágenes, que lindo al final la música de fondo del MAESTRO argentino Astor Piazzolla.
That's an angry ocean right there, 5:14 is it really good shot of those 12 meter waves. WOW
Must be ultimate adventure of a life time.Brilliant videography,Thanks a lot.
What a experience! Crazy and unforgetable ❤️❤️
Wow what waves! They even looked good on video which is rare.
Really good video, this absolutely captured how crazy drakes passage is
That is an awesome video!! I went to Antarctica back in March 2017, aboard the G Expedition. We got very lucky and got the "Drake Lake" both ways, and we got down to Antarctica in record time!!!
This is real life. SUPER BRO
Beautiful seas!!
Thank you for sharing this awesome video! You did an amazing job filming it! I felt like I was there almost. What a fascinating adventure going through those storms! The last shot of you guys on the ice was beautiful. What a completely majestic place to see!! Thank you again!
Lannie Wise, thank you for your compliment:-)
Unbelievable. I was getting queasy just watching. I would love to put this on my bucket list. And the perspective at the end from that bluff looking down at the ship. It looks like a toy. Thank you for posting!
Thank You for sharing this video. I remember how that ship is when I served on the MV Ushuaia when was known as the NOAA ship R-103 Researcher. Your video minded me of a storm off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Camera dude is having a good time!
THE CAMERAMAN ALWAYS SURVIVES.
The sea or passage of Drake begins in Cabo de Hornos - Chile and ends in the Antarctic peninsula 🤩
Wow what a great experience, I would have been more worried at the time but what a brilliant story and video to share & enjoy with everyone once home safely. Thanks for sharing with us. Cheers.
This is like sailing in Faroe Island waters..on a good day
SI TAN SOLO VER EL VIDEO ES ATERRADOR, IMAGINATE VIVIRLO ADENTRO DE ESE BARCO
A good video for people from whom english is not first language. Many of Alistair McLeans describe situations on ships and seas most of which miisses readers like me due to lack of sea or sailing vocabulary but this provides a great understanding of the kind of events in those novels.
I was on the MV Ushuaia in March ‘17 and was expecting this but had a 4m swell on the way down but Drakes Lake on the way home. Had the greatest trip.
Nice video and your storytelling. Thank you!
Thank you:-)
Great video! What an amazing experience!
Very scary. I am glad everyone reached safely back home.
Omg 😱 beautiful!!!🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for uploading this. It looks so exciting. I have to do this one day.
We're a little seasick. Drake Passage, "Can someone hold my beer again, please, there's work to be done!"
6:18 there's one wave towering over its neighbours, just right of the centre of the screen in the background. Looks like a candidate for a freakwave to me.
Brilliant video!
A rogue wave would be a lot higher then the waves you see there. From 6 to 10 times the current wavelength, so the freakwave would be between 72 and 120 meters high there. You would notice that very clear, since that would cover the whole ship. Check this one for size comparison: /watch?v=_akyfMp9ln8
0:58. I can’t believe those are 7 metre waves either. I’ve been in waves that high often enough. I think that’s the expected wave height.
3:19 Why did these people buy a ticket. Reading books a cell phones! Look around you! This was supposed to be why you’re here!
That was excellent, thanks for post. Looking at booking this in two years time
Wat een mooie reis,....
.. my head is already spinning.. while watching
Lindo vídeo.
Looks great fun
Как бы там не было в рубке всегда самое спокойное место)
Whoa!! What time of the year was this please?❤
First 2 weeks of February
Where did the boat leave from in Chile? Was the trip expensive? What did you do while in Antarctica? Thanks.
hello❤❤ this is beautiful ❤❤
What month of the year was it ?
Come get me when we make it thru. I'll be at the bar in the mean time.
"Cabo Horn"? onde é isto, chama-se Estreito de Magalhães...
Super super good
From Pearl Harbor to olongapo Philippines we hit a typhoon, the waves were so tall a porthole on the port side 30’ above the waterline failed. The starboard stabilizer ripped off and made contact with one of the screws. Like a card in a bicycle wheel, only way louder… rat tat tat.. rat tat tat… tat rat tat all the way to the Philippines for dry dock. Great times
good filming.subbed)
Why are people sitting there reading ? A stormy Drake is one of the natural wonders of the world. They should be outside taking it all in. One or two may get washed overboard but that’s part of the Drake experience.
Hi Chris! WOW! It is impressive they let you on the Bridge! I am like you, I like the rough sea. I would eat a big bowl of spaghetti and tease the sick people. The way the water moves is so beautiful. You are so lucky to take such a wonderful cruise. When the ship rolls does it tickle your stomach?
Are you guys from Belgium? Great video by the way!
Thanks:-) No, we are from the Netherlands.
I want to go to Antarctica so badly, but I'm afraid rough water like this would scare me too much!😥
Yes, It can be very rough (for 2days one way;-). It is part of the adventure to see Antarctica. But when you arrive in antarctica, you forget every wave that you have made nauseous. Antarctica is something special!!!
👍
it looks fun!
I think I've heard you can fly there on some trips. Maybe you should look up one of those?
There are scopolamine plasters rant help you with motion and seasickness
I feel sea-sick just by watching this
Ok then, thank you!
As pessoas numa viagem dessa, tão distantes entre si. Umas no celular outras lendo e dormindo. Q pena, ninguém interagindo entre si. Muita frieza. Q horror!
Passeio lindo, interessante. Dos sonhos. Cheio de emoções. E as pessoas frias e distentes entre si.
Can you tell me what ship you were on, and What month did you go.
MV Ushuaia Expedition Ship. We went there at the beginning of february
Wow! Thank you for posting. May rethink my bucket list. 🤢
Would you do it again? Was it worth the trip?
100% absolutely🙂
meu irmão... i would rather die than be on that boat
hay que tener valor
12m monster wave, scary.
Interesting!
Jonguh!
This is defines sea sickness
Scary 😮😮😮
Niet ongebruikelijke omstandigheden hier.🙂
Was best pittig:-)
👍
Look at the sun and how low its really is 5:02.
Tattoo Tommy G oh shit
Most people that were in the Navy, have been in worst than this. I know I was in the north Atlantic. The whole bow of our destroyer kept disappearing into the ocean. We were taking 25 degree lists and they said we would roll at 27 degree lists. Everyone on the bridge was a little uneasy. I was a Quartermaster.,
So what? So now you think you my master???
Congrats what you want a cookie?
No one cares
that's amazing
@@stuarttay8770 HAHAHA
Zo is het hier wel vaker; hoor; en nog meer zeegang dan dit.
Dat geloof ik graag. Maar vond het al vrij spectaculair. Zal het zelf niet vaak meer meemaken.
Thats not a storm. Thats typical conditions of Drake's Passage
3:05 Wtf was that all of a sudden!!!!! 😨😨
Mwah........that was just a mild storm in the Drake, nothing special.
Come fate a non sentirvi male ? 😮
I get sea sick just hearing that someone is sea sick. WTH?
Nice video but first rule of videography - don't pan the camera too much. It makes it difficult to watch.
D-Gauss thanks for the tip!
Been in worse round Bear Island
thats a calm day on the north sea
is 6000 euro geworden 😢ik ga nu binnenkort naar ushuaia en wou dit doen maar nope .zou leuk zijn
Wat je kunt doen is de plaatselijke reisbureaus mailen of er nog last minutes tickets zijn. Zo hadden wij voor de helft van de prijs de tickets. Je moet wel flexibel zijn qua reistijd.
ух. жуть какая!
Those are not 7 meter seas !
And everybody on the screen like whatever
Hello
Hello:)
Let's get acquainted.
@@jobvanderveer5254 How old are you Let's get acquainted
Are they speaking Russian ?
No, we are Dutch;-)
It sounded like Russian 😂. So sorry
Wow, he is massively annoying and mildly educational! Adventures for the 1%! Hope y'all had fun!
Bro, you need to lighten up
What click bait!!!!!! At no time was the weather ever above a Beaufort Sea State 8!!!!!!
This is nothing. I paddled my small canoe all the way around Antarctica one winter with eighty foot waves just for something to do. All I had was an RC Cola and peanut butter sandwich.
There are people inside the ship, sitting on the couches and chairs and PLAYING WITH THEIR STUPID PHONES instead of watching the ocean as they motor through Drake's passage!!! What a bunch of losers!!!!
Yuk
Nope.
Bloody horrid
Hell noooo hell no way thats so freaking scary
