While the circumpolar current is the dominant feature of the Southern Ocean, there are other important flows in the north-south direction and in the vertical plane. The average depth of the ocean ranges from 2,000 to 4,000 metres.he temperature of the water in the Southern Ocean has a powerful influence on the climate of much of the earth. The current is not always stable. It can develop disturbances called waves or eddies which involve the entire water column.
The Antarctic (or Antarctica) Circle is one of the five major circles or parallels of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. Shown on the image above with a dashed red line, this parallel of latitude sits at approximately 66.33Â° south of the Equator. It marks the northern limit of the area within which, for one day or more each year, the sun does not set nor does it rise. The length of continuous day or night increases southward from the Antarctic Circle, mounting to six months at the South Pole.
