The mineral content, including oxygen, is highest in the bottom water of the Southern Ocean that surrounds Antarctica, making it dense. It is caused by the oxidation of deteriorating organic content in other deep oceans. Some say that this bottom water is the ventilation system for earth's deep oceans.

How dense are the waters around Antarctica?
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."
Why doesnt Antarctic bottom water freeze?
From its Wikipedia page: "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." The Southern Ocean freezes at about a depth of eight to 12 feet during the winter months, which is not deep enough to freeze the bottom water.
