According to Reader's Digest 10/2021, "a new ocean just dropped.
The National Geographic Society has been mapping the world's oceans since 1915, but this year the cartographers produced a surprise: a fifth ocean! It's the body of water surrounding the Antarctica that's been carved from the nearby Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans by the fast-moving Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The society is calling this new fifth sea-ster the Southern Ocean, which is certainly accurate, if a little boring". - page 66 large print edition
