The '''[[Southern Ocean]]''' comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean, generally taken to be south of 60° S latitude and encircling the continent of [[Antarctica]].

By way of his voyages in the 1770s, Captain James Cook proved that waters encompassed the southern latitudes of the globe.

However, according to Commodore John Leech of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), recent oceanographic research has discovered the importance of Southern Circulation, and the term "Southern Ocean" has been used to define the body of water which lies south of the northern limit of that circulation.
