The Southern Ocean was defined by the International Hydrographic Organization in 2000 through a vote of member states.[1] It extends from Antarctica to 60 degrees N latitude, a border chosen to include the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
The Southern Ocean is the fourth largest ocean on Earth, ahead of the Arctic Ocean.
