The Antarctic circumpolar current carries the greatest volume of water. Another name for this current is the west wind draft. The current is circumpolar due to the lack of any landmass connecting with Antarctica and this keeps warm ocean waters away from Antarctica, enabling that continent to maintain its huge ice sheet.
