    The Pacific and Atlantic oceans will never mix? That’s news to me, seeing as there is no land between them. But maybe it’s something to do with currents.

      They most certainly do mix - the deep water atlantic current rises to the surface and travels across to the pacific. That’s what makes the Antarctic waters so fertile and why all those whales and penguins hang out in such terrible weather conditions
