Arctic Ocean
The
Arctic Ocean
(also known as the
Northern Ocean
), located in the
Northern Hemisphere
and mostly in the
Arctic
north polar
region, is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five major
oceanic
divisions. The
International Hydrographic Organization
(IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some
oceanographers
call it the
Arctic Mediterranean Sea
or simply the
Arctic Sea
, classifying it a
mediterranean sea
or an
estuary
of the
Atlantic Ocean
. Alternatively, the Arctic Ocean can be seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing
World Ocean
.
