The frigid waters around Antarctica are home to a large number of marine animals (Credit: Michelle Raponi/CC0/ Pixabay)

The icy waters surrounding Antarctica have long been called the Southern Ocean by scientists, the media, and even the US Board on Geographical Names. However, it never received the official recognition it deserved - until now. On June 8, 2021, the National Geographic Society, which has been making maps since 1915, announced that from now on, there would be five oceans: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Arctic, and Southern Ocean. Fittingly, the decision was revealed on World Oceans Day!

      I agree with you. It’s kind of like we never notice our oceans and marine life, and to be honest we don’t really deserve another ocean because of how badly we treat all the other ones. Still it’s really cool that we have a fifth ocean. #savetheearth

        What do you mean deserve, it was always there and it isn't your choice if we deserve an ocean or not.

        Oh wow all that marine life is amazing! But global warming is a big threat we need to stop that! Maybe global warming is also causing this crazy heat wave I’m stuck in...

            That is really awesome but with the ice melting it results to rising sea level and in a few years Antarctica could be under water.😞

            This amazing but sad as well, that ocean is only going to get bigger because of global warming and all the ice caps melting :(

              Awesome! I think that there would be a northern ocean because why is it just south I doubt Arctic won't have a northern ocean.
