00:00Hello everyone!
00:03Waves can do a lot.
00:06Wash away homes,
00:08toss huge ships around,
00:10and turn simple journeys into terrifying experiences.
00:15When nature unleashes its fury,
00:17the ocean reveals its full might.
00:20Let's check out some of the most incredible waves in history.
00:23Let's get it on.
00:33A large fishing boat in the North Atlantic faces turbulent waters,
00:37looking like a toy ship.
00:39The area is notorious for its unstable weather and powerful currents,
00:44making it one of the most challenging maritime routes.
00:57Although sailors are always ready for the toughest conditions,
01:01the South Ocean's mood caught even the experts off guard.
01:14The naval patrol boats had to brave the freezing ocean waves
01:18in the heart of a 12-point storm,
01:21with wave heights soaring above 16 metres.
01:24But, despite everything, they managed to keep afloat.
01:46Kauai, the oldest of the main Hawaiian islands,
01:50always draws a huge number of tourists.
01:52And it's easy to see why.
01:54How can you resist visiting a place where nature puts on such stunning water shows?
02:24How can you resist?
02:25How can you resist visiting a boat in the sea?
02:39How can you resist?
02:41How can you resist visiting a boat flight?
02:43How can you resist using the sea?
02:46Ferries usually sail across the Baltic Sea without incidence.
02:49But in 2019, passengers aboard one of them faced a rough ride as their trip coincided with the onset of
02:57a storm.
02:58The vessel reached the shore safely, but it was far from hard journey.
03:23The dinner aboard the ferry travelling from Ireland to France was meant to kick off an exciting journey for all
03:29the passengers, but things didn't go as planned.
03:32While the ship battled through the rough seas, passengers could barely stay in their seats.
03:42Though the captain managed to steer the ship through the waves, the passengers no longer felt the same excitement for
03:47the journey.
04:17It's clear now why surfers from all over the world
04:19flocked to the Portuguese town of Nazare.
04:22Last December, a German surfer rode a wave nearly 29 meters high there, breaking his own world record.
04:32Many tourists visit Iceland to witness huge chunks of glaciers crashing into the water.
04:51However, they often forget that when an ice block falls into the water, it triggers massive waves.
04:5835,000 km.
04:5884,000 km.
05:19The
05:20other
05:31This is what happens when a ship runs out of fuel at the worst possible moment.
05:41Another ship had to tow it through the stormy waters of the Indian Ocean.
05:45Thanks to the skill and professionalism of both crews, both vessels reached port safely.
06:22Shocking footage from Indonesia shows how a powerful wave can effortlessly lift and then engulf the boat.
06:29But there's no need to worry.
06:31There were no people on board.
06:44The ocean around the Hawaiian Islands can be treacherous and deceptive.
06:48Just look at how quickly it went from calm to crashing down on tourists with a huge wave.
06:55Oh, look at this wave.
06:58The big one, they're coming?
06:59Yeah.
07:00Oh my God.
07:02Oh, that's just huge.
07:04What the f***?
07:05Oh my God.
07:09Get my fault.
07:13Hey, what's your done?
07:14Get it, you're full down.
07:16Get it, you're full down.
07:18Get it, you're full down.
07:25Get it, you're full down.
07:27Get it, you're full down.
07:29Get it, you're full down.
07:32Get it, you're full down.
07:33Get it, you're full down.
07:33Nature was truly unpredictable in 2020.
07:36This video from India shows one example of its fury.
07:39After intense rainfall, the rivers swelled, causing huge waves.
07:44Hey!
07:45Come on!
07:51Hey!
07:52Hey!
07:52Hey, guys!
07:52Hey!
07:53Hey!
07:55Hey!
07:59Hey!
08:01Hey!
08:04Hey!
08:06Hey!

08:10Hey!
08:10Hey!
08:10Hey!
08:11Hey!
08:12Hey!
08:15Hey!
08:43The
08:45seaside hotel complex no longer seemed like the perfect getaway after a powerful wave
08:50hit the shore. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and there was no significant damage, except
08:55for the ruined vacation for those who had to wait out the storm in their rooms.
09:06A small village on the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea was going through tough times. Violent
09:12storms had triggered large waves several metres high, which completely flooded the coastal
09:17area.
09:21So,
09:25so,
09:25so,
09:25so,
09:26so,

09:41so,
10:07so,
10:24welcome to the tide season in Oregon. The waves look even more impressive, thanks
10:29to the weather and microorganisms that come together to create this thick foam.
10:37waves aren't always a natural phenomenon. Take this video, for example, filmed by a Florida
10:43local who showed up to see a ship being launched.
10:49Oh!
10:53Oh!
10:54Well,
10:54wow.
10:56Wow.
10:58Wow.
11:00Oh!
11:01Wow!
11:01Wow!
11:01Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
11:04Wow!
11:09Wow!
11:12Wow!
11:13Wow!
11:14moments the show became truly immersive. It happened recently in North Carolina as well.
11:43It seems that this is a frequent issue when launching ships into narrow waterways. Luckily,
11:49people weren't too close to the shore this time and managed to stay dry.
11:55On Bali, you can find one of nature's wonders called the Devil's Tear. Located on Noosa Lembongan
12:02Island, this stunning yet dangerous spot features a rocky cliff that's constantly battered by
12:08the powerful ocean waves. When the waves hit, the water shoots up in massive splashes,
12:20creating the dramatic effect of the cliff, crying.
12:36At times, the impact of an ice chunk hitting the water makes a bigger impression than the
12:41glacier breaking apart. If you're looking to catch a glimpse of some truly massive waves,
12:51you should head to San Sebastian. In the fall, the waves here can reach up to 7 meters high.
13:22The fishermen's determination played a cruel trick on them, as their catch was too heavy
13:28for the harsh weather. With the ship sitting lower in the water, the waves easily broke over
13:33the sides, flooding the deck. A round of applause to the crew for sticking it out and conquering the elements.
14:12This footage is from 2017, capturing a surfer conquering a giant wave off the coast of Portugal.
14:32Man 1-ieri's Tear.
14:33A round of applause to the crew for aökullяют on Armistice.
14:33So, at times, the waves are the mainozled to their heads of the H2O.
14:36So, at times, the waves were the same-s종 waves that were the same-s종 waves.
14:37So, at times, we're also the away-s종 waves.
14:41So, this would be a big surprise to train down the waterfall.
14:43Of course, the waves are the same-s종 waves are the same-s종 waves to a great-s종 waves.
14:45If you're looking at the waves and that's what the waves are being, you're looking at.
14:47That's the place of time.
14:57How can you get your adrenaline pumping, not just for yourself but for the entire audience?
15:03This guy knows exactly how.
15:16I bet with that stunning view he's completely forgotten about fear.
15:25A cameraman captured a remarkable phenomenon after the flooding in New Mexico.
15:36These waves form when water collides with an obstacle, or due to specific features of
15:41the seabed, it looks truly remarkable.
15:47Welcome to the North Sea, where it's perfectly normal for a storm with winds that force 12
15:53to strike during the winter.
16:08I think this is the Celtic blood.
16:12These underclasses are the ones who were colder before.
16:14And these overclasses are the ones who came to the Normandian.
16:18And then the Saxon here.
16:21It's actually the German.
16:46This guy's clearly been living here for years.
16:49So, a tide like this is just another day for him.
16:55Oh my god, that was so bad!
17:15The last time a storm this severe hit Marshfield was back in the last century.
17:20However, a few years ago, residents were forced to spend an entire weekend hiding from the wrath
17:26of the weather.
17:40The massive waves flooded parts of the city, damaged homes and caused the dam to collapse.
17:46It took the authorities several days to deal with the aftermath.
17:57A peaceful day at Laguna Beach took a dramatic turn when a massive wave crashed into a beachfront house.
18:04The wave broke windows, flooded the interiors and was a stark reminder of the ocean's immense power.
18:17Working at sea is only for those who can't live far from the elements.
18:22They also need to have a perfect sense of balance and be ready for a giant wave to hit them
18:27at any moment.
18:48The Drake Passage is one of the harshest places on Earth, where the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
18:55meet.
18:56Waves in this area can reach 20 to 30 metres and storms occur up to 200 days a year, making
19:03it a real challenge even for seasoned sailors.
19:11Waves in this area, making it a real challenge.
19:12Katie, how much fun is this?
19:14This is going to be awesome.
19:16Oh!
19:17Oh!
19:18Oh!
19:19Oh!
19:20Oh!
19:22Oh no!
19:24Hang on!
19:25That was insane.
19:29Winter, did you get it?

19:33Are you kidding me?
19:34This is so weird.
19:36That was the best.
19:38Best ever.
19:39Kat is pregnant.
19:41Shut up!
19:41Shut up!
19:42Shut up!
19:44Okay.
20:09At first the tsunami in Brookings seemed harmless, but it soon revealed
20:15its power. Although the waves didn't appear threatening, the strong currents rocked the
20:27ships and caused significant damage.
20:58The powerful storm has hit California, bringing massive waves that caused significant damage
21:05to the Santa Cruz Pier.
21:25Oh, there's a ****.
21:30Look at that.
21:32Oh, there's a ****.
21:41Oh, oh, oh.
21:45Oh, oh, oh.
21:51Oh, oh.
22:18Oh, oh, oh.
22:33and that's how his fishing trip ended the moment the waves started to roll in the man understood
22:39that there was no hope for a catch in this spot
22:52although the situation may look bad the captain has everything under control
22:56he knows exactly how to steer the ship so the waves wouldn't throw it off course
23:08no
23:32this chain of restaurants is famous not only for its delicious food but also for
23:37its unique location while guests enjoy their meals massive waves crash against
23:42the windows beside their tables every detail is thought through so the glass
23:47can endure even the most powerful tides it's the perfect way to dine like a
23:52sailor without getting seasick
24:22imagine yourself as a sailor on a massive ship struggling to stay afloat amidst 10 meter
24:28waves in the Drake Passage it's certainly not a job for the faint of heart
24:35look at those waves
24:38this is Cabo San Lucas
24:43it looks small but they're probably 15 to 18
24:46thanks to a small hurricane tourists found themselves much closer to the waves in Cabo San Lucas than they expected
24:54oh
24:55oh my god
24:55look at this
25:02oh my god
25:04oh my god
25:04oh my god
25:06oh my god
25:06oh my god
25:06oh my god
25:41Oh, my God.
25:51That's the water that we wanted to do.
25:53That's the water.
25:58We have to do this.
26:05That's the water that we wanted to do.
26:11Here we go.
26:14This is the water.
26:17How are you doing?
26:18Yeah, I did!
26:20Yeah!
26:48Check out how the aircraft carrier handles those massive waves in the ocean like a pro.
27:07Sailing through the Drake Passage on a vessel like this is incredibly risky, especially
27:12when wind speeds reach 130 km per hour like in this video.
27:16It's impressive how the captain was able to keep the vessel steady in such rough conditions.
27:21Hats off to him!
28:13So, what do you think?
28:16I don't know.
28:56I don't know.
