Crossing the Drake Passage

The Drake Passage is the body of water that separates South America and Antarctica. It is considered to have the roughest sea conditions in the world with almost constant storms and large waves. I've made the voyage across before and I can assure you it's quite the ride! When it's stormy like in this video, it's affectionately referred to as the "Drake Shake" and it can make your life a living hell for the 2 days it takes to cross the passage if you're prone to sea sickness.
