Monster wave filmed in slow-motion

by mdr on May. 07th, 2009

Check out this amazing slow-motion video taken beneath a huge wave off the coast of Pohnpei in the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. It was filmed by Australian cameraman Bali Strickland who specializes in filming world-class surfers doing their thing. He used a special high-speed camera that videotapes the action in high definition and at 20 times slower than normal speed. The camera captured - for the first time - underwater spiralling vortices created by the 12-foot wave's action. The remarkable footage is part of an upcoming BBC series on the South Pacific.
