Having lived most of my life on an island in the Pacific (New Zealand) this was super easy.

'pacific' means peaceful in Spanish and was called 'mar pacific' by the Spanish explorer Magellan. The Pacific Ocean is home to more than 75,000 volcanoes, 25000 islands, the great barrier reef (stretching more than 1400 miles) and the ocean shrinks by an inch every year (due to tectonic plate movement)

I can assure you the Southern Ocean does exist, and its home to many of the southern hemisphere's wonderful seabirds!

I once had to type up the manuscript for a first edition of a book about seabirds such as albatrosses and petrols – the Southern Ocean was mentioned a lot!

Frank Zappa, or better still, try to avoid using plastics. in particular it would make sense to go back to glass bottles which are easy to recycle.

mick dundee, I'm about the same age, and we were taught that there are 4 oceans and 7 continents. Did geographer decide to designate a 5th Ocean? Is that official?
