The Drake Shakes are at the southernmost point of South America where three bodies of water, the Atlantic, Pacific, and Southern Oceans, all meet creating rough ocean currents and giant waves. It is also known as Drakes Passage or Drake Lake, named after Sir Francis Drake, a 16th-century English explorer. This dangerous crossing has been a rite of passage for many famous expedition teams through the centuries like Dutch explorer Willem Schouten, Spanish explorer Francisco de Hoces and Antarctic expedition leader Ernest Shackleton. And of course, in modern times, travelers like my family and fellow travelers on the World Cruise.
