I believe so becaus for many years only four oceans were officially recognized, and then in the spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization established the Southern Ocean, which includes all water below 60 degrees south, and some of it, is frozen. there is no southern ocean its a load of crap. the pacific, atlantic, and indian ocean take up the space on top of antarctica so therefore there is no southern ocean

The Ocean Between Australia and South America?
Answer OneThe ocean positioned between Australia and Antarctica is the Southern Ocean. Only formally defined and named in 2000, it is sometimes known as the Great Southern Ocean.Answer TwoNow, here is a conundrum, technically and officially this Southern Ocean does not exist.The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) publishes "The Limits of Oceans and Seas", and their current publication shows no Southern Ocean only the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans extending down to Antarctica. August bodies, such as National Geographic also take this line.The reason why the IHO has not yet published a new "Limits of Oceans and Seas' (one was due over four years ago) is a disagreement of where this ocean should start, some say 60 degrees South, others 55 degrees and some 35 degrees. Until this disagreement is sorted out, as I said above, it doesn't exist officially.Now, that leaves with the perplexing question is the answer above mine right or wrong?.Well, On The Wallaby is right, mariners have for centuries recognized those waters as the Southern Ocean. Which leads me to a bigger Question, do we actually need the IHO and it's petty politics?The name you want is the Southern Ocean.
