CONSIDER:

The Drake Passage or Mar de Hoces—Sea of Hoces—is the body of water between South America's Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica. It is notoriously rough - although some people do get a smooth passage. However, it is also a badge of honor for those who have made the journey to and from Antarctica.
