Welcome to our exploration of the world's mightiest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Flowing continuously eastward around Antarctica, the ACC circulates 140 million cubic meters of water per second, connecting the world's ocean basins. It plays a vital role in Earth's climate and marine ecosystems!
Learn more about the diverse marine life supported by the ACC, including krill, blue whales, and penguins! Each of these species contributes to the rich tapestry of life, making this ecosystem one of the most unique on the planet.
