The Southern Ocean (also known as the Great Southern Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, South Polar Ocean, and Austral Ocean) comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean, generally taken to be south of 60 S latitude and encircling Antarctica.

The Weddell Sea is part of the Southern Ocean and contains the Weddell Gyre.

It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean.

Since then, Southern Ocean waters have been variously known as the Great Southern Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, Southern Icy Ocean, Grand Ocean, South Polar Ocean, Austral Ocean, or as components of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.

The Southern Ocean's southernmost port operates at McMurdo Station at .

Other species known in the Southern Ocean are E. frigida , E. longirostris , E. triacantha and E. vallentini .

Krill is fished commercially in the Southern Ocean and in the waters around Japan.

The major oceanic divisions are defined in part by the continents, various archipelagos, and other criteria these divisions are (in descending order of size) the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.

In the Southern Ocean, one species, the Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba , makes up an estimated biomass of around 379,000,000 tonnes, more than that of humans.

Spinning down to someplace a little bit cooler than here right now the Ross Sea in the Southern Ocean.

It is reserved for organizations that conduct work in Antarctica or promote the Antarctic and Southern Ocean regions.

It connects the southwestern part of the Atlantic Ocean (Scotia Sea) with the southeastern part of the Pacific Ocean and extends into the Southern Ocean.

As one component of the interconnected global ocean, it is connected in the north to the Arctic Ocean, to the Pacific Ocean in the southwest, the Indian Ocean in the southeast, and the Southern Ocean in the south (other definitions describe the Atlantic as extending southward to Antarctica).

The harvest peaked in 1983 with more than 528,000 tonnes in the Southern Ocean alone (of which the Soviet Union took in 93 ).

It is bounded by Asia on the north, on the west by Africa, on the east by Australia, and on the south by the Southern Ocean (or, depending on definition, by Antarctica).

There are at least three distinct subspecies B. m. musculus of the North Atlantic and North Pacific, B. m. intermedia of the Southern Ocean and B. m. brevicauda (also known as the pygmy blue whale) found in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean.

In the North Atlantic, Meganyctiphanes norvegica , Thysanoessa raschii , Thysanoessa inermis and Thysanoessa longicaudata are the usual food in the North Pacific, Euphausia pacifica , Thysanoessa inermis , Thysanoessa longipes , Thysanoessa spinifera , Nyctiphanes symplex and Nematoscelis megalops and in the Southern Hemisphere, Euphausia superba , Euphausia crystallorophias , Euphausia valentini , and Nyctiphanes australis.

Colossal squid are a major prey item for sperm whales in the Antarctic 14 of the squid beaks found in the stomachs of these sperm whales are those of the colossal squid, which indicates that colossal squid make up 77 of the biomass consumed by these whales.

Geography and demographics The continent of Antarctica forms a land mass covering much of the area within the Antarctic Circle.

Few ports or harbors exist on the southern (Antarctic) coast of the Southern Ocean, since ice conditions limit use of most shores to short periods in midsummer even then some require icebreaker escort for access.

The emperor penguin searches for prey in the open water of the Southern Ocean, in either ice free areas of open water or tidal cracks in pack ice.

This was this is south of the Antarctic Circle.

This exclusive economic zone does not include the Australian Antarctic Territory.

That is, we have regional management regimes within the exclusive economic zone, but we need to scale these up, we need to build their capacity, so they're like the Southern Ocean, where they do have the two pronged fisheries and conservation organization.

After the tectonic creation of Drake Passage, when South America fully detached from Antarctica during the Oligocene, the climate cooled significantly due to the advent of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current which brought cool deep Antarctic water to the surface.

The Island was claimed by Chile in 1940, as part of the Chilean Antarctic Territory.

Chile, in addition to the website of the Chilean Antarctic Institute , publishes information via the blog Antarctic Air Base President E. Frei M .

The US and Russia do not recognize these claims, and have formally reserved their right to claim Antarctic territories.

In 1993, two events caused a decline in krill fishing Russia exited the industry and the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) defined maximum catch quotas for a sustainable exploitation of Antarctic krill.
