Antarctica

Antarctica is the coldest, highest, driest, and windiest of all the continents. Some 95% of the continent is covered by an icecap averaging 1 mile in thickness.

The MS Bremen crossing the Drake Passage to Antarctica. The Antarctic continent is surrounded by the world's most stormiest seas. Many captains call these monster storms " The Drake Shake" where ships can be rolled back and forth 20 to 35 degrees and where rogue waves roll ships to 45 degrees. The Drake Passage occurs where the fast flowing southern waters are squeezed between Antarctica and South America. Storms frequently whip and churn the ocean into a turbulent dark mass of gray water.
