(“draft 4th edition”)
(what is the difference between “sea” and “ocean”?)
(just the english spelling?)
(just the english-tone of voice (aka “pronunciations”?)

(listed as ‘southern ocean’ on the ‘english wikipedia’)
(the “southern ocean” (also known as the “antarctic ocean” / “austral ocean”) comprises the southern-most waters of the ‘world ocean’, generally taken to be south of ’60° S latitude’ + encircling ‘antarctica’)
(as such, it is regarded as the 4th-largest of the 5 principal ‘oceanic divisions’: smaller than the ‘pacific’, ‘atlantic’, and ‘indian’ oceans but larger than the ‘arctic ocean’)
(this ‘ocean zone’ is where cold, northward flowing waters from the ‘antarctic’ mix with warmer ‘subantarctic’ waters)
(by way of his voyages in the 1770s, ‘captain james cook’ proved that waters encompassed the southern latitudes of the ‘globe’)
(since then, geographers have disagreed on the southern ocean’s northern boundary or even existence, considering the waters part of the ‘pacific’, ‘atlantic’, and ‘indian’ oceans, instead)
(this remains the current official policy of the “international hydrographic organization” (IHO), since a 2000 revision of its definitions including the “southern ocean” as the waters south of the “60th parallel” has not yet been adopted)

(others regard the seasonally-fluctuating ‘antarctic convergence’ as the ‘natural boundary’)
