Ship captains usually avoid navigating under South America because it’s super dangerous! The waters around the southern tip, called Cape Horn, are known for strong winds, huge waves, and unpredictable weather. It’s basically like the wild west of the ocean, and even experienced sailors can struggle there. Plus, there’s a much safer and quicker route called the Panama Canal, where ships can pass through a man-made channel instead of going all the way around. The canal saves a lot of time and trouble. So, it’s no surprise that most captains prefer the easier and safer option!
