The Arctic Ocean
by Lisa Gardiner Windows to the Universe

The Arctic Ocean, the smallest of Earth's five oceans, is located almost entirely within the Arctic Circle in the North Polar Region. The northernmost parts of the European, Asian, and North American continents surround the Arctic Ocean. The ocean is connected to the Pacific Ocean at the Bearing Straight, the waterway between Siberia (Russia) and Alaska (USA). The Arctic Ocean is connected to the Atlantic Ocean at the Greenland Sea, east of Greenland.
