| Caption: | Drake Passage, Scotia Sea, southern Atlantic Ocean. Stormy sea crashing onto the after deck of the RRS James Clark Ross, almost engulfing the sub sea vibrocorer. |
| Description: | The Drake Passage is crossed by the RRS James Clark Ross several time each season en-route from The Falkland Islands to the Antarctic. Located near the Antarctic Peninsula, the Drake Passage is famous for its stormy seas and spectacular icebergs. This photograph shows the JCR being 'blown home' by high winds and heavy seas to Stanley, Falkland Islands after a successful sampling cruise off the Antarctic Peninsula. |
