A huge ocean wave has been filmed from beneath the surface, revealing features never before captured on camera.

The remarkable video, which will be shown as part of the BBC Natural History Unit’s new series South Pacific, was filmed in super slow motion using a high-definition camera. It reveals the hidden power of a four-metre-tall monster barrel wave and shows the first images of underwater spiralling vortices created by the wave’s action.
