Antarctica is surrounded, in all directions, by the Southern ocean. The Southern Ocean merges with the southern ends of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.Due to Antarctica's position at the south pole all seas and oceans are north of Antarctica. For the most part "West" simply circles the continent without leaving the land/ice. There are four area of the Southern Ocean adjacent to Antarctica which are identified as seas. In decreasing area these are the;
- Weddell Sea
- Ross Sea
- Bellinshaw Sea
- Amundsen Sea.
On the map these appear more as bays of the Southern Ocean.
They all are adjacent to and abut the portion of the continent identified as West Antarctica
