Preferred term

Antarctic circumpolar current  

Definition

  • The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), also known as the West Wind Drift, is the only current that flows completely around the globe, unimpeded by continents. Famous explorers have often referenced the ACC in their navigational logs, including Edmond Halley (the first to note the ACC in a voyage from 1699 to 1700), James Cook, James Clark Ross, Sir Francis Drake, and James Weddell.
