World's strongest ocean current

March 12 , 2025 8 hrs 0 min 31 0
  • The world's strongest ocean current is slowing down due to unchecked melting of Antarctic ice sheet.
  • The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), which flows across Antarctica from west to east, plays an important crucial role in regulating the global climate and ocean circulation.
  • As a result of ice melts, vast amounts of freshwater flow into the Southern Ocean, altering its salinity and density.
  • These changes affect the movement of ocean currents, including the ACC.
