The Unbelievable Sight of 2 Oceans Meeting but do not mix
You almost can't believe what you are seeing, since you are out in the middle of the open ocean.It is indeed quite a sight to behold!
This is the best video I have ever seen of the phenomenon. It far surpasses the still photos that we took.
Read this before viewing video.
Where the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean meet.
Remarkable video from a Cruise Ship.
The Straights of Juan del Fuego, at the tip of South America, (South of Argentina and Chili) is where the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Ocean meet without mixing.
Did you know that the two oceans do not mix?
Watch the video that shows it to you.
Why do these waters not mix?
Because there is a huge difference in salinity between the clear water that comes from melting glaciers, which is cool and low in salt, while the water from the second ocean has a high salt concentration. Therefore, the two oceans have different densities, which makes them almost impossible to mix.

The Meeting but Not Mixing of the clear Ohio & Muddy Mississippi Rivers (No. 3) is classic.
Wherever & Why ever it occurs - it makes for some Weird visuals.
Mmkay -
BOTH of these Sound kinda Sciencey & Authoritative -
But seem to arrive at Quite Different Conclusions ...
professor:
I'm wondering if the whales/orcas cross the two oceans or, do they stay in one because of the difference in the water?
