The Most Dangerous Seas on Earth | Storms, Ice, Waves & Deadly Currents

Some seas are dangerous because of giant waves. Others because of ice, freezing spray, narrow passages, violent winds, powerful currents, heavy traffic, or sheer isolation. In this episode of ASM Uncovered, we compare some of the most dangerous seas and ocean regions on Earth — including the North Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Norwegian and Labrador Seas, Bering Sea, Tasman Sea, and Southern Ocean / Drake Passage. Each one has a different way of becoming dangerous. From short, steep waves and crowded shipping lanes to freezing spray, massive swells, and some of the roughest water on the planet, this episode explores what makes these seas so hazardous — and why there is no single kind of “dangerous ocean.” Featuring licensed ocean footage, original narration and music, and documentary-style visual storytelling.
