A navy warship sailing the oceans in search of illegal poachers encountered something different and more turbulent than they were searching for. It took the naval officers by complete surprise.
The ship drifted mildly in the turbulent waters of the Southern Ocean. Suddenly, the tides took them a bit below sea level, like a rollercoaster swiftly descending its tracks.
The sailors exclaimed—terrified and excited at the same time—as they were hit by a BIG wave. For a moment, the sailors couldn't see the ocean. Their windshield was blurred by a massive splash of water. It all became clear after a few seconds.
The ship then ascended back to sea level. Water, like a large pool, could be seen on the deck of the vessel. By this time, the sailors were frightened as they tried to keep the situation under control.
The water sipped through the openings of the taffrail. The alarm had gone off to alert all crew members of the situation. The storm was still strong as the waters of the Southern Ocean were thrown around violently.
The southern ocean or Antarctic ocean is an enormous body of water. It is the fourth largest ocean and has witnessed multiple and swift climate changes in the last 3 decades.
The depth of the ocean is about 7,434 meters. This point was called "factorian deep" by Victor Vescovo. It is a mix of the Pacific, Atlantic, and the Indian Ocean; it covers about 8.5 million miles.
