The Fifth Ocean
Tuesday, 4 January 2005 by Jacob TomawI have discovered a new ocean. I was reading a article from New Zealand about the tsunami threat there. NZ is part of the system that looks out for Pacific tsunamis, but they have a weak spot to the south from the Southern Ocean.
Have you ever heard of the Southern Ocean? I thought we only had the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, and Arctic Oceans. According to the Wikipedea, the Southern Ocean is the body of water that encircles Antarctica. It is all the water south of 60 parallel south. This ocean was discovered, created, named, whatevered in 2000.
Also, Australia and New Zealand concider any water off thier south coasts as the Southern Ocean.
