The 62-foot rogue wave, which occurred in the Atlantic Ocean between the north coast of Scotland and Iceland, is the highest ever recorded.
An electronic buoy recorded the wave at 6am on February 4 2013, according to the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), who have only just been able to analyse the wave data.
They said: “This is the first time we have ever measured a wave of 19 metres. It is a remarkable record.”
The wave, which was taller than a six-storey building, occurred as a cold front powered through the area, producing fierce winds.
The record also shows the importance of automated, data-gathering buoys, according to the WMO.
