From the tip of the South American continent to the northernmost shores of Antarctica: here’s where you’ll find the reputed roughest sea-passage in the world. The Drake Passage is the stuff of legends, and crossing it is an experience some passengers on Antarctica cruises look forward to the most. There’s something exhilarating about experiencing rolling waves aboard an ice-strengthened Antarctica expedition vessel.

The Mar de Hoces, as the Drake Passage is known in Spanish, was first allegedly sailed in the early 1500s, when famous Spanish marine explorer Francisco de Hoces sailed south enough to see the end of the landmass that is South America. A few decades later a famous British explorer, admiral, and sea captain, by the name of Francis Drake, lost a ship to formidable southward winds whilst sailing the west coast. This confirmed to him the existence of a convergence of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. Drake was a legendary figure in British expansion and it is from him that the passage’s English name derives. The Spaniards, however, consider him a pirate (in their defence, Drake did have a penchant for capturing their treasure-filled ships) so most Spanish-language literature nowadays still refers to the Drake Passage by its original name.
