Imaging the balls of ancient sailors going there in old wooden ships, no technology no modern clothes and even no certitude what was ahead.. hard to imagine
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 . . .
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.
Wonderful video! I felt like i was on that ship in the Drake passage with ya! I cant wrap my mind around those waves wow!! Thank you so much for sharing! I have never seen anything like that storm while on a ship!!
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.
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.
Wow great video. I plan to go to Antarctica in the next few years, not looking forward to crossing the Drake Passage. For a ship of the size you were in, are conditions like these ever a danger? Or is it just a case of 2 days of very uncomfortable conditions?
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
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
Hi Bernd! Ist es möglich dich bzgl. des Videos zu kontaktieren? Ich würde das Video gerne in einer Produktion verwenden, sofern das grundsätzlich möglich ist. Beste Grüße!
Get a prescription for Scopolamine Transdermal Patch. Put it behind your ear and chances are you’ll be fine. I was despite a storm on the way back to Ushuaia.
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.
I’m surprised that ship is using the same old paper charts and fuzzy weather faxes that I had on my sailboat in the early 2000s….back when gps was black and white only and pricey. I figured ships would have much more updated navigational aids and electronics.🤔
It's peculiar that all the great travellers in the world have been Europeans. I can't get it. What did the people from the other parts do? But really need to admit, all these people are gutsy. I'm lying on my bed while seeing this video and yet feeling seasick.
It looks beautiful yet terrifying. I always stay mesmerized when watching videos like this.
Me, too!
I like the safety and comfort of Land.

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.
I can swim this passage
Those waves look massive and we all know, video makes them look lot smaller than they actually are.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this fantastic video. Loved the focus on the ocean and capturing the sounds. I could have watched 8 hours of it!
Wow!! This brings back memories of my trip to Antarctica!!
The wave (or monster swell) at 5:00 is taller than the ship is high! Truly jaw-dropping.
Been there, done that. Never again. Thirty of the most miserable hours I've ever spent.
Greg Belcamino it’s that bad?

Looks fun to me but I think it’s just me
God Bless you!!!
Was antarctica worth it?
Such a great captain and crew in what looked like terrifying conditions.
Unreal that Shackleton made it across this in a lifeboat. What an amazing story.
I'm sitting on a couch and and I'm getting seasick
God Bless you!!!
This is terrifying and beautiful at the same time 😃🤢
Same here
Awesome video and love the sound of the wind in the rigging.
Store your booze in plastic containers!!!

Lannie Wise that's spectacular
Ernest Shackleton and Frank Worsley laugh at these high seas.
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!
Wow - those waves!
so beautiful yet so terrifying at the same time ❤️
4:55 scared the sh*t out of me.
???
Omg same!
Yess it look like a huge wave
Yes! My heart stopped for a few seconds!
the fucking music
5:02
Just think, how many did this in wooden ships. It's amazing what we humans can do.
Hay que ser muy valiente para navegar en el drake...mi admiración a todos estos navegantes valientes y a los marinos!!! Son unos capos!!!
Incredible. Great editing!
Great video 👍👍🌊
Just imagine falling into these waters. I mean how long would one survive? Fucking horrifying.

@@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
Those waves are sooooo huge!!!!!
Thanks
love the sounds of the creaking ship noises and winds..very haunting...
Great video
I like how I got an ad for carnival cruises before watching this
Bellisimo. Estoy soñando con un día hacer ese viaje. Es espectacular.
So the drake passage is two days, but is it two nights as well or do ships typically arrive on the 2nd night? Thanks!
pretty sure it takes the whole 48 hours could be wrong
Hatts off to you guys 🔥
Incredible beautiful scary breathtaking all in one
Fantástico!!!
think ships has to cross this befopre panama canal was built.... hats off to those sailors
they used to use the channel nearby, but not for large ships. the panama canal made things considerably easier.
Those swells are massive
E esse barulho do vento! Valha-me Deus, cê é louco!
So beautiful omg
Amazing i love the music aswell
This is just a normal day in the Drake, nothing new!!
Amazing,!! Can’t imagine being in that journey,,,,,!!!! 😩🫣
Proper waves.

Frightening yet simultaneously beautiful!
(The sound of the howling winds, too!)
Anyone knows on why this happens? Is it just the weather or?

How can you drive a boat through this and not almost piss yourself
*ship.

Always that jackass that wants to correct everything. Boat/ship, who gives a fuk, we know what they are talking about 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What does the instrument measure?
Wow that’s bravery right there 🙌⭐️

I am from India 🇮🇳. I read in Atlas (map)drake paas so i just search about drake pass. Natural amazing😊😊😊😊
What if you run out of fuel here?
Can we expect rough weather in January ? If all goes well I am crossing it next month

started getting seasick at 6 minutes in........
Wow, I am get seasick just watching this video.
That's gotta be a 50 foot swell at least right ?

Gee, you think? Really?
applesinthebackyard shut the fuck up
Hi Bernd, tolle Aufnahmen. Bist du nicht seekrank geworden? VG
Wahrschenlich sind alle krank😮
Jesus. I thought the Bering Sea was tough (Deadliest Catch). This is a whole different game.
Was this on the Vavilov by chance?
This was the Prof Multanovsky
Alcohol helps when trying to get up the drake passage
This wouldn't be the first time Germans came to Antarctica..... if you know what I mean....
Touchy issues ooooohhhhhhhh shut up

This sea has no chill!
It only sends a chill down your spine.
Drake was not the first to get there. Hoces did it before.
Mar em Fúria!
Jesus loves each and every one of you very much!!!!

I think Polynesians were greater navigators and explorers if we take their context into account.
You can read the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and get one answer to this question.
Southern Ocean-Drake Passage.......uhhhh, yeah.......no thanks.
Big ass waves and big ass dollars ...
