The Roughest waterways
ยฌ layers of cold seawater from south and
ยฌ warm seawater from north
ยฌ both collide to form powerful "eddies".
ยฌ Such eddies combine with strong winds, storms = treacherous for those attempting to navigate it.
2019: 6 rovers from 4 countries, crossed Drake Passage
= a new Guinness World Records (GWR).
2018: an all-woman Indian Navy team on INS Tarini also successfully crossed Passage.
