Arctic Ocean
About Arctic Ocean
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest and shallowest of the world's five oceanic divisions. It spans an area of approximately 14,060,000 km2 (5,430,000 sq mi) and is the coldest of the world's oceans. The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) recognizes it as an ocean, although some oceanographers call it the Arctic Mediterranean Sea or North Polar Sea. It has also been described as an estuary of the Atlantic Ocean. It is also seen as the northernmost part of the all-encompassing world ocean.

It's not just China that is invading the Arctic. This year it was discovered that the Atlantic Ocean is doing the same thing. Since 2000, the northern barrens region of the Arctic Ocean has been heating very rapidly. As the ice cover has diminished, so has the salinity of the water and it's been turning into an ocean with qualities very similar to those of the Atlantic.
