Creator's Key Takeaways
Between the southern tip of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula lies the Drake Pass, often called the roughest sea on Earth.
Powerful storms are constant with waves up to 40 m and winds exceeding 120 kmh.
In 2007, the cruise ship MS Explorer struck an iceberg and sank in the Drake Passage.
All 154 people on board were rescued, but the ship was lost, becoming the first tourist vessel to sink in Antarctic waters.
