Biggest ‘rogue wave’ ever recorded confirmed in Pacific Ocean

In November 2020, just off the coast of British Columbia in Canada, a huge wave was measured as being 17.6 meters (58ft) high, smashing all previous world records.

Now the four-storey wall of water is impressively tall, what makes it special and a record-breaker is how big it was compared to others surrounding it.

Rogue waves, or extreme storm waves, are any waves that are more than twice the size of those around them, and this monster was almost three times as tall.
