The Southern Ocean was officially
designated as an ocean in 2000 by the International Hydrographic Organization
bringing to 5 the number of oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic,
Southern). Its area includes all water below 60 degrees south,
some of which is frozen either part or all of the year. Of course,
Antarctica is the continent surrounded by the Southern Ocean. If you want to search the web for trips and tours to the few Southern Ocean islands, use the specific island name and include the word "Antarctica". There is not much tourism listed under the search words "Southern Ocean Trips and Tours." as "Southern Ocean" is not a well-known to the general public. (The name became official in 2000.) |
