WHAT DOES ANTARCTIC OCEAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Antarctic Ocean

Southern Ocean

The Southern Ocean comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean, generally taken to be south of 60°S latitude and encircling Antarctica. As such, it is regarded as the fourth-largest of the five principal oceanic divisions. This ocean zone is where cold, northward flowing waters from the Antarctic mix with warmer subantarctic waters. Geographers disagree on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary, and some even its existence—considering the waters part of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans instead. Others regard the Antarctic Convergence, an ocean zone which fluctuates seasonally, as separating the Southern Ocean from other oceans, rather than the 60th parallel. Australian authorities regard the Southern Ocean as lying immediately south of Australia. The International Hydrographic Organization has not yet formally published its 2000 draft definition of the existence of the ocean and of it being south of 60°S due to global 'areas of concern' such as the Sea of Japan. Its last formally published definition of oceans dates from 1953; this omits the Southern Ocean term, leaving hydrographic offices who use the term to decide their own northern limits.
