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."
What else can I help you with?
Are killer whales found around Antarctica?
Yes, in the waters surrounding Antarctica, which is a continent.
Why is the Antarctic Bottom Water so dense?
Antarctic Bottom Water is dense because it forms in the frigid waters around Antarctica, where the cold temperatures cause the water to become very cold and salty. This combination of low temperature and high salinity makes the water denser than surrounding waters, causing it to sink to the ocean floor and flow towards the equator.
Does the sword whale live in Antarctica?
Narwhal whales make Arctic waters their home. There are none in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica.

What are some negatives and positives about Antarctica?

Where does the icefish live?
Icefish are found in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. They are typically found at depths ranging from 200 to 1500 meters. They have also been observed in the waters around South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
