Drake Passage

The Drake Passage is a body of water located between the southern tip of South America (Cape Horn) and Antarctica. It connects the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and is known for its rough seas and strong currents. The passage is significant for climate and ocean circulation, as the mixing of waters from these oceans affects global weather patterns. It's also a key route for ships traveling to Antarctica, where scientists and researchers explore the unique environment. Despite its challenges, the Drake Passage is noted for its remarkable wildlife, including whales and seabirds.
