No, the oceans surrounding Antarctica are some of the roughest seas in the world. In fact, when satellites first detected these rogue waves, they found them mostly in Southern Ocean surround that continent, especially the strong winds and currents of the so-called Roaring Forties, Furious Fifties, and Shrieking Sixties of 40 to 70 degrees south Latitude.

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.
