Check out this video of the Antarctic cruise ship, Clelia II, as it “limps” back to Argentina in heavy seas. The vessel, with 100 passengers and 60 crew, lost power to one engine after being hit by a massive wave while transiting the Drake Passage on its way back from the Antarctic Peninsula.
The Clelia II is operated by Polar Cruises out of Bend, Oregon.
