\n

Passengers onboard the Viking Polaris cruise ship<\/a> that was hit by a “rogue wave” during a voyage to Antartica, killing an American woman, are now speaking out, saying a “wall of seawater” came onto the vessel.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sheri Zhu, 62, has been identified by ABC News as the person who died during the incident last Tuesday, citing Secretary of the Ushuaia Federal Court Melina Rodriguez. The ship was traveling to Ushuaia, <\/a>Argentina,<\/a> when it was struck and Fox News Digital has reached out to the government there for further comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If somebody had told me we had hit an iceberg I would have believed them,” Tamarah Castaneda, a passenger from San Diego onboard the Polaris, told ABC\u2019s “Good Morning America.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The windows came crashing in, there was this wall of seawater that came in,” she added. “Beds were being shoved up against the doors so that they were not able to get out of their rooms.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beverly Spiker of California also told ABC News that a “huge smash” against the window of\u00a0the cabin she and her husband were staying in caused the frame to shatter, adding, “A lot of water came shooting in.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The incident reportedly happened around 10:40 p.m. local time while the ship was sailing through the Drake Passage \u2013 a traverse between the southern tip of South America and Antarctica known for its rough waters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Argentine authorities said the woman who died was hit by broken glass when the wave broke cabin windows. The ship suffered limited damage and arrived in Ushuaia, 1,926 miles south of Buenos Aires, the next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is with great sadness that we confirmed a guest passed away following the incident,” Viking Cruises said in a statement. “We have notified the guest\u2019s family and shared our deepest sympathies.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Four passengers who were injured were treated onboard the ship by a doctor and medical staff for non-life-threatening injuries, the company said.<\/p>\n

Rogue waves, also known as “extreme storm waves”<\/a> by scientists, are greater than twice the size of surrounding waves and often come unexpectedly from directions other than prevailing wind and waves, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News\u2019 Louis Casiano and the Associated Press contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
