The fifth ocean was named in 2000 by the International Hydrographic Organization, who decided that the Southern Ocean (sometimes called the Great Southern Ocean), which completely surrounds Antarctica, should comprise the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian ocean, and Pacific Ocean. (The other ocean, of course, is the Arctic.)
