The Southern Ocean’s Roaring Forties, Furious Fifties, and Shrieking Sixties indeed. As bad the storms in the Bering Sea between Russia and Alaska, they can’t hold a candle to the storms of the Southern Ocean. Seamen dreaded rounding Cape Horn.

True. Even if you're in a 200,000+ ton supertanker, you're still dread a trip around Cape Horn (or even the southern tip of Africa!) because of the very rough seas and threat of rogue waves.
