Paragraph 1
Many of us were taught in school that there are four
- the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific and Arctic Oceans. However, an Internet
shows there is also a "Southern Ocean". This is around the South Pole and Antarctica. The National Geographic Society now
accepts this is a
ocean. Geography teachers will now have to teach students that the
has five oceans. A National Geographic
said: "We think it's
important from an educational [viewpoint], as
as from a map-labelling
, to bring
to the Southern Ocean as a fifth ocean."
