According to its Wikipedia entry:
"The Antarctic bottom water (AABW) is a type of water mass in the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica with temperatures ranging from -0.8 to 2 °C (31 °F), salinities from 34.6 to 34.7 psu. Being the densest water mass of the World Ocean, AABW is found to occupy the depth range below 4000 m of all ocean basins that have a connection to the Southern Ocean at that level."
From Windows to the Universe:
"The density of pure water is 1000 kg/m3. Ocean water is more dense because of the salt in it. Density of ocean water at the sea surface is about 1027 kg/m3."

Positive: Antarctica is one of the last pristine wilderness areas on Earth, with unique wildlife and landscapes. It also serves as an important scientific research hub, contributing valuable data on climate change and environmental processes. Negative: Antarctica is facing the impacts of climate change, with rising temperatures leading to melting ice, ecosystem disruptions, and habitat loss for certain species. Human activities in the region, such as tourism and fishing, also pose threats to the fragile ecosystem.
