Scientists Recorded the Most Extreme Rogue Wave Ever

Scientists recently recorded the craziest rogue wave ever—it was like a 10-story building rising out of nowhere in the middle of the ocean. These waves are rare and unpredictable, appearing suddenly and towering way above the surrounding sea. This particular wave was 58 feet high, about three times taller than the waves around it, and it’s now the most extreme one ever officially measured. Scientists study rogue waves because they’re incredibly dangerous for ships and oil rigs, often striking without warning. Thanks to better tech and data, researchers are getting closer to understanding how these monster waves form. The ultimate goal? Find ways to predict them and keep people safer at sea.
