Subantarctic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


The Antarctic Convergence, approximately 200 km south of the Antarctic Polar Front, is the border between two distinct regions: the subantarctic and the antarctic.
The Subantarctic is a region in the southern hemisphere, located immediately north of the Antarctic region. This translates roughly to a latitude of between 46° – 60° south of the Equator. The subantarctic region includes many islands in the southern parts of the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean, especially those situated north of the Antarctic Convergence. Subantarctic glaciers are, by definition, located on islands within the subantarctic region. All glaciers located on the continent of Antarctica are by definition considered to be antarctic glaciers.
