The Atlantic Ocean covers 76.762 million square kilometers, about one-fifth of the Earth's surface. Prior to the year 2000, the Atlantic Ocean was considered larger; but the International Hydrographic Organization created a new Southern Ocean, comprising all water south of 60 degrees south which used to be considered parts of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
