Watched Savage Waters on Outside+ (4/5)

Savage Waters is an adventure to find an awe inspiring wave recorded in E. F. Knight’s personal journal in 1891. The film wonderfully captures our desire to connect to the wonders of our world across generations. From the journal…

“When we were close to it, the sea happened to break, and the sight was a lovely yet a terrible one. A huge green roller, very high and steep, suddenly rose as if by magic from the deep; then swept over the shoal, and, when it reached the shallowest part its crest hung over, forming a cavern underneath, through whose transparent roof the sun shone with a beautiful green light; and lastly the mass overtopping itself fell with a great hollow sound, and was dashed to pieces in a whirl of hissing foam.”
