authors using "southern ocean" to name the waters encircling the unknown southern polar regions used varying limits. james cook's account of his second voyage implies new caledonia borders it. peacock's 1795 "geographical dictionary" said it lay "to the southward of america and africa"; john payne in 1796 used 40 degrees as the northern limit; the 1827 "edinburgh gazetteer" used 50 degrees. the "family magazine" in 1835 divided the "great southern ocean" into the "southern ocean" and the "antarctick ["sic"] ocean" along the antarctic circle, with the northern limit of the southern ocean being lines joining cape horn, the cape of good hope, van diemen's land and the south of new zealand.

directly on the antarctic circle these events occur, in principle, exactly once per year: at the december and june solstices, respectively. however, because of atmospheric refraction and mirages, and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point, part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the southern summer solstice up to about 50 minutes (′) () north of the antarctic circle; similarly, on the day of the southern winter solstice, part of the sun may be seen up to about 50′ south of the antarctic circle. that is true at sea level; those limits increase with elevation above sea level, although in mountainous regions there is often no direct view of the true horizon. mirages on the antarctic continent tend to be even more spectacular than in arctic regions, creating, for example, a series of apparent sunsets and sunrises while in reality the sun remains under the horizon.
