Located at the southernmost end of Earth, the Southern Ocean surrounds Antarctica like a gigantic ring. Sometimes called the Antarctic Ocean, its currents flow around the continent in enormous spirals, pushing large amounts of cold water into the other oceans. These raging currents help cool our planets tropical waters and play an important role in keeping Earths climate in balance. The Southern Ocean is also famous for its terrifying winds, which. can reach speeds of more than 185 miles per hour (300 km/h).
