There is an article about huge waves in the Science section of todays New York Times at the above address.

Once thought to be a one in thousands of years occurance ,the report says there are 10 happening around the world at any one time.

Also good pics of huge wave approaching a tanker.

Extremely scary, and yet quite funny, seeing as the first ad at the bottom of the page is for cruises on the Queen Mary 2 ;D

Hi MagicRik,
Thanks for the link.
Fantastic photos of ships in rough seas.
And great shots of the Canadian ship covered in ice.

Makes one appreciate a job on land.
