Explainer: how the Antarctic Circumpolar Current helps keep Antarctica frozen

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, or ACC, is the strongest ocean current on our planet.It extends from the sea surface to the bottom of the ocean, and encircles Antarctica.It is vital for Earths health because it keeps Antarctica cool and frozen. It is also changingas the worlds climate warms. Scie...
