During recent times, the water in the Southern Ocean is becoming less dense and less salty that it has been in the past, because the ice -- fresh water ice -- of the ice shelves is melting into the ocean, diluting it's historic properties. Classically, the Southern Ocean has been more salty, because of the evaporation of the fresh water from the ocean. It is also more dense because it is so cold and the water is deeper than in other oceans. However, climate change has reduced both the density and salinity of the Southern Ocean.
