The 60th parallel south....... A circle of latitude that is 60 degrees south of Earth's equatorial plane. No land lies on the parallel—it crosses nothing but ocean. Often referred to as the Screaming 60s due to the prevailing high-speed, westerly winds which can generate large waves in excess of 15 m and peak wind speeds over 145 km/h. #Seafaringmum #antarctica #seafarer #cooljobs #60south | Katrina Beams
