Southern Ocean |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| The southernmost portions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans meet at the Antarctic to form the Southern Ocean. The oceans are linked by a clockwise flow around the South Pole, called the Antarctic gyre, or the current wheel. The clockwise flow around the South Pole results from the way currents of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans circulate anticlockwise. | ||||||
