The following report is from NBC:
National Geographic announced Tuesday that it is officially recognizing the body of water surrounding the Antarctic as the Earth’s fifth ocean: the Southern Ocean.
The change marks the first time in over a century that the organization has redrawn the world’s oceanic maps, which have historically only included four: the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic Oceans.
The Southern Ocean has long been recognized by scientists, but because there was never agreement internationally, we never officially recognized it.
It’s sort of geographic nerdiness in some ways. We’ve always labeled it, but we labeled it slightly differently [than other oceans]. This change was taking the last step and saying we want to recognize it because of its ecological separation.
Alex Tait. National Geographic Society geographer
The Southern Ocean stretches from Antarctica’s coastline to 60 degrees south latitude, excluding the Drake Passage and the Scotia Sea, according to the National Geographic. The newest body of water makes it the second-smallest, after the Arctic.
The waters encircling the southern continent have distinct ecological characteristics, including its unique current patterns better known as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, or ACC, according to the magazine.
The ACC makes the waters around Antarctica colder and slightly less salty than those in the north, which helps transport heat around the world and store carbon in the deep ocean — all of which have a crucial impact on the planet, National Geographic reported.
The change broke from guidance outlined by the International Hydrographic Organization, which standardizes sea mapping and official names.
The organization has yet to agree to a proposal that was submitted in 2000 to add the Southern Ocean to the world map, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. However, most countries, including the U.S., recognize the body of water as distinct.
Tait told National Geographic that he hopes the organization’s new policy will have a huge impact on education.
Students learn information about the ocean world through what oceans you’re studying. If you don’t include the Southern Ocean then you don’t learn the specifics of it and how important it is.

[19] For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. [20] Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 1 Corinthians 1:19-20
This is what happens when you get geeky airheads that have to put their useless degrees to use and just make more stuff up. I could care less about them adding a supposed ocean to the map, but it just demonstrates that “the highly educated” just make things up willy-nilly without a legitimate cause.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I think at this point, most of the main stream science and institutions have lost what little credibility they have had left. I have been around long enough to remember global cooling, no wait it’s heating up. Geology has so much egg on its face, that it is a running joke. Speaking of eggs, they are bad for you! No! They are good for you …
On and on it goes. What is sold as science, is actually scientism. Faith in ‘Nature’, to get rid of the Creator. The fact is that sin is standing at the door and ALL mankind is corrupt. Why folks think one segment is not (sports, military, etc…) is nothing more than cognitive dissidence.
Remember, ALL politicians are corrupt, well except for the ones I support. ROFL!
Mitch – My problem is not homophobia (fear of homosexuals); it is homonausea: Queers make me sick.
The whole concept of a round earth that’s proposed by these wicked jesuits is a sham. The Bible clearly teaches that the earth is a circle (Isaiah 40:22) that sits upon foundations (Job 38:4), and has a crystal done over the top of it (Job 37:18, Ezekiel 1:22, Genesis 1:6). Rome has the world thinking that someday they’re gonna fly out of the earth on a rocket ship and build cities on new planets. They’ve all been deceived by the original wanna-be astronaut, Satan.
Isaiah 14:13-15 KJV
[13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: [14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. [15] Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Yup, whole thing’s a scam to convince people they are meaningless mistakes in an infinite nothingness. Never mind the fact that heliocentrism (euphemism for ‘Sun worship’) was concocted by JESUITS from ancient occultism.

Yes, and if they can convince the whole world of something different; what other lies are they telling us? Do we even know what year it is? I trust the KJV, EVERYTHING else is suspect. The older the source, the better; but one must always use God’s words and prayers to know for sure.
I grew up in bars, raised by a single mom in the 60s in the keys of Florida. Once I started reading the Word and asking the Lord Jesus to open my eyes, boy did he answer that! They would lock me up! If folks knew what I believe now. Which make me wonder how many folks that have been locked up and who knows what else, that were truly awake.
Stay in the Book, and fight on your knees!
Mitch – Education is pulled, indoctrination is pushed
absolutely agree. It’s flat but they brainwash the kids that it’s a spinnin’ ball.
Google, “ancient Hebrew earth” to see a more Scriptural model of the earth
A word of caution to those commenting: Evident truth & the word of God & legitimate linguistics all unite to show us the truth of the spherical earth hung on nothing & turning as a seal to the clay. Be careful not to allow Colossians 2:8 philosophy & tradition, Balaamite sorcerers & Jezebel manipulators, deceive you to leap from one region & ditch of error to another : right over the truth with BOTH eyes wide open. Beware also the roots of bitterness & pride. Just listened to a very pertinent exposition on Romans 16:17-18 KJB and related scripture that may be of use to those with eyes to see & ears to hear, sermonaudio.com, bbfohio.com, Sunday School, Bible Study Sunday, June 13, 2021.

Would comment that given the number five is that of either grace & rapture or death….it would appear that they have gone from the number four signifying either the Gospels uniting souls in Christ & truth, or the four ‘points’ of the Luciferian-Satanic Babylonian craft merging, uniting all the world in the lie & ultimately to the Man of Sin, the false & counterfeit Christ, the idol shepherd…….and inadvertently revealed which kingdom they are of.
