Every year, the town of Nazaré experiences a huge wave season when the water can rise up to 30m high.
NASA has just released an image showing the immense power of giant waves, as tall as seven-story buildings.
According to ocean researcher, Mr. Tom Durrant, the above wave broke the record for the highest wave also in the Southern hemisphere in 2012 was 22.03m.
Such waves exist in the deepest part of the ocean and rarely cause trouble for the majority of the world's population.
