  Satellites Capture Record-Breaking 20-Metre Waves Crossing Entire Oceans

  ESA satellites have recorded the world’s largest ocean swells — nearly 20 meters high — generated by Storm Eddie in the North Pacific. These giant waves carried storm energy over 24,000 kilometers, reaching distant coasts and proving that ocean swells can transport immense power across the globe even when storms stay offshore.
