The origin of the names of the four oceans

Pacific Ocean

1520, Magellan entered a strait (later called strait of magellan) while sailing around the world, and walked out of the canyon in a calm way, so he called this water area the Pacific Ocean, which was later recognized by the whole world.

the Atlantic

The word Daxi comes from the name of Atlas in ancient Greek mythology. Legend has it that Atlas lives in the Atlantic Ocean and can know the depth of any ocean and has great power. 1845, the geographical society of London named the waters between North and South America, Europe, Africa and Antarctica the Atlantic Ocean. ?

the Indian Ocean

1497, Portuguese navigator da gama bypassed the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and looked for the Indian mainland eastward, calling the ocean he passed the Indian Ocean. 1570 World Atlas officially named this water area the Indian Ocean.

Arctic Ocean

The Arctic Ocean is located in the Arctic, and the ocean surface is frozen all the year round, hence the name. 1845 was officially named by the Geographical Society of London.

Antarctic ocean. Also known as SOUTHERN OCEAN

The Antarctic Ocean is the fifth ocean. In 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization identified the Antarctic Ocean as an independent ocean, making it the fifth ocean besides the four oceans.

The International Hydrographic Organization defines the Antarctic Ocean as the ocean surrounding Antarctica within 360 degrees longitude, bounded by 60 degrees south latitude, which mainly includes the Ross Sea, Billings High Sea, Weddell Sea, amundsen sea, Drake Strait at the southern tip of some South America and Scotia Sea in southern New Zealand, with an area of 20.327 million square kilometers and a coastline of 17968 kilometers.

However, oceanographers still have many objections to this definition. The map of Australia marks the ocean south of Australia and New Zealand as Antarctic ocean, not Indian Ocean. ?
