Antarctica
Antarctica ( i/æntˈɑrtɨkə/ or /ænˈtɑrktɨkə/)[Note 1] is Earth's southernmost continent, containing
the geographic South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost
entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4
million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South
America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is
covered by ice that averages at least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness.

Southern Ocean
In 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization created the fifth and newest world ocean the Southern Ocean - from the southern portions of the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, and
Pacific Ocean. The new Southern Ocean completely surrounds Antarctica.
The Southern Ocean extends from the coast of Antarctica north to 60 degrees south latitude. The
Southern Ocean is now the fourth largest of the world's five oceans (after the Pacific Ocean,
Atlantic Ocean, and Indian Ocean, but larger than the Arctic Ocean).

Southern Ocean
The Southern Ocean (also known as the Great Southern Ocean, Antarctic Ocean, South
Polar Ocean and Austral Ocean) comprises the southernmost waters of the World Ocean,
generally taken to be south of 60°S latitude and encircling Antarctica.[1] As such, it is regarded as
the fourth-largest of the five principal oceanic divisions (after the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian
Oceans, but larger than the Arctic Ocean).[2] This ocean zone is where cold, northward flowing
waters from the Antarctic mix with warmer subantarctic waters

Scientist
A scientist, in a broad sense, is one engaging in a systematic activity to acquire knowledge. In a
more restricted sense, a scientist is an individual who uses the scientific method.[1] The person
may be an expert in one or more areas of science.[2] This article focuses on the more restricted
use of the word. Scientists perform research toward a more comprehensive understanding of
nature, including physical, mathematical and social realms.

Marine Biology
Marine biology is the scientific study of organisms in the ocean or other marine or brackish
bodies of water. Given that in biology many phyla, families and genera have some species that
live in the sea and others that live on land, marine biology classifies species based on the
environment rather than on taxonomy. Marine biology differs from marine ecology as marine
ecology is focused on how organisms interact with each other and the environment, and biology
is the study of the organisms themselves.

Oceanography
Oceanography (compound of the Greek words ωκεανός meaning "ocean" and γράφω meaning
"to write"), also called oceanology or marine science, is the branch of Earth science that studies
the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organisms and ecosystem dynamics;
ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea
floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and
across its boundaries. These diverse topics reflect multiple disciplines that oceanographers blend
to further knowledge of the world ocean and understanding of processes within it: biology,
chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics as well as geography.

Humpback whale
The humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) is a species of baleen whale. One of the larger
rorqual species, adults range in length from 12–16 metres (39–52 ft) and weigh approximately
36,000 kilograms (79,000 lb). The humpback has a distinctive body shape, with unusually long
pectoral fins and a knobbly head. An acrobatic animal known for breaching and slapping the
water with its tail and pectorals, it is popular with whale watchers off Australia, New Zealand,
South America, Canada, and the United States.

Migrate
Animal migration is the relatively long-distance movement of individuals, usually on a seasonal
basis. It is a ubiquitous phenomenon, found in all major animal groups, including birds,
mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and crustaceans.[1] The trigger for the migration
may be local climate, local availability of food, the season of the year or for mating reasons.[2] To
be counted as a true migration, and not just a local dispersal or irruption, the movement of the
animals should be an annual or seasonal occurrence, such as birds migrating south for the winter,
or a major habitat change as part of their life, such as young Atlantic salmon leaving the river of
their birth when they have reached a few inches in size.[3]

Glacier
A glacier (UK pron.: /ˈɡlæsiə/ GLASS-ee-ər or US /ˈɡleɪʃər/ GLAY-shər) is a large
persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting
and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. At least 0.1 km2 in area and 50 m thick, but
often much larger, a glacier slowly deforms and flows due to stresses induced by its weight.
Crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features of a glacier are due to its flow. Another
consequence of glacier flow is the transport of rock and debris abraded from its substrate and
resultant landforms like cirques and moraines. Glaciers form on land, often elevated, and are
distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.

Zodiac Boat
The Marine Mammal Center in Northern California uses Zodiac inflatable craft in the ocean
rescue of injured or malnourished marine mammals. The Zodiac inflatable boats are also
commonly used by the United States Military.
Zodiac boats were brought into American popular culture in the late 1960s, when they were as
ubiquitous as wet suits Aqualungs, and the Calypso, in the television documentary series, The
Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau.
The word "ZODIAC" is a registered trademark for rigid-hulled inflatable boats.

Binoculars
Binoculars, field glasses or binocular telescopes are a pair of identical or mirror-symmetrical
telescopes mounted side-by-side and aligned to point accurately in the same direction, allowing
the viewer to use both eyes (binocular vision) when viewing distant objects. Most are sized to be
held using both hands, although sizes vary widely from opera glasses to large pedestal mounted
military models. Many different abbreviations are used for binoculars, including glasses, nocs,
noculars, binos and bins.
