Extract

The Southern Ocean has unique features that have aroused the interest of the scientific community. As the site of the only circumpolar current, it is the principal region where waters from the major ocean basins may be mixed and/or interchanged. It is also the formation region for Antarctic Bottom Water and Antarctic Intermediate Water, which penetrate far northward into the major ocean basins.
