Southern Ocean

Southern Ocean or Antarctic Ocean is the southernmost waters of the World Ocean, generally taken to be south of 60° S latitude and encircling Antarctica.

In the 1770s, James Cook proved that waters encompassed the southern latitudes of the globe. Geographers have disagreed on the Southern Ocean's northern boundary or even existence, with some considering the waters merely as various parts of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, but recent oceanographic research has discovered the importance of Southern Circulation.
