Sadly we have just lost a planet, but not long ago we gained an ocean. What is this new ocean's name?

The Southern Ocean, also known as the South Polar Ocean (and formerly the Antarctic Ocean), is the body of water encircling the continent of Antarctica. It is the world's fourth largest ocean and the latest to be defined, having been accepted by a decision of the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) in 2000, though the term has long been traditional among mariners. This change reflects the recent findings in oceanography of the importance of ocean currents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Ocean Aug 26 06, 4:00 PM

Since we are using up the planet's resources, along with droughts and water shortages, how much less water do we have compared to 100 years ago? We have many disasters in the Philippines. What ferry was sunk not so long ago and what was the cause? On British road sign poles, apart from Belisha beacons, we lost our white stripes many years ago and they are now plain black. But what year did they start repainting the new colours? My memory says early 60s but not sure. How long ago is it since the area we now call the North Sea was a piece of exposed land?
