The Soutern Ocean. (The Great Austrailan Bight is the body of water closer to the continent but is is not called an "Ocean" , the boundaries of these water masses are unclear. Modern terminology has Southern Ocean south of 60° S but older sources have the Southern Ocean stretching further north.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Australia_map_1863.jpg for a map labling the Southern Ocean as close to Australia.
The closest countries to Antarctica are Australia, South Africa, New Zealand with Argentina and Chile being the closest.
the pacific ocean is closest ocean toBrazil,Australia,north America,south America ,europ and Antarctica
The Antarctic Ocean is the closest ocean to Melbourne.
The ocean closest to Auckland is the South pacific ocean.
Australia is closer (South America is closest of all). Also, note that Australia is not a continent. This means the closest continent to the South Pole is South America.
The Indian Ocean is to the south, west, and north or Australia.
Antarctica is close to the continents of South America and Australia. South America is situated to the west of Antarctica across the Drake Passage, while Australia is located to the northeast across the Southern Ocean.
Australia is bordered by the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean and Southern Ocean.
That is the South Pacific Ocean
The three continents closest to Antarctica are South America, Australia, and Africa. South America is the closest, with the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula being only about 1,000 kilometers away from the southernmost point of South America. Australia is next, with the closest point being around 2,200 kilometers away from Antarctica. Africa is the third closest continent to Antarctica, with the closest point being approximately 4,000 kilometers away.
The coordinates 30° south and 130° east are located in the southern hemisphere, specifically in the Indian Ocean. This location is situated to the southeast of Australia, but it does not fall on any landmass. Therefore, the continent closest to these coordinates is Australia, but the coordinates themselves are in the ocean.
You can consider Argentina, Chile, Australia, New Zealand and even South Africa to be Antarctica's neighbors.
