A giant wave nearly 24 meters in height was recorded by the
staff of the Hydrometeorological Service of New Zealand near Campbell
Island the day before. According to oceanographers, this is the largest
wave that has ever been recorded in the Southern Hemisphere. Scientists
believe that during the recent storm that took place in these places,
the height of waves could exceed the mark of 25 meters, but,
unfortunately, the equipment failed to record them.
The giant wave broke the previous record of the southern hemisphere – 22.03 meters, registered in 2012 off the coast of Tasmania.
