93043The New Student's Reference Work — Antarctic Ocean


Antarctic Ocean, is the name of the ocean lying within the Antarctic circle. It was long thought impassable for ships on account of the ice, but of late years many voyages have been made and tracts of barren land observed. The features of the Antarctic Ocean are constant fogs and currents, unnumbered icebergs and the beautiful aurora borealis (which see).
